Retour final pour ceux qui seraient confrontés aux mêmes embêtements  :

[snip]
- penser à passer suffisamment de RAM à la machine virtuelle pour
décompresser et utiliser le noyau et le initramfs, pourtant testé à -m
256 (bloquage) le processus passe normalement à -m  size=4G (sans
doute trop)


Essaie de regen l'initramfs avec "dep" au lieu de "most" dans 
"/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf", tu économiseras un peu.
J'ai plusieurs VMs (Xen) Debian qui bootent à 256M, elles sont light 
mais pas über custom non plus (128M passe pas).



- qemu n'est pas capable (à ma connaissance) d'utiliser le BIOS natif
de la machine, et le SeaBios par défaut ne convient pas, il faut donc
lui indiquer d'utiliser OVMF.fd


Vois le BIOS comme une sorte de "driver bas niveau du matériel" (à la 
louche).
Le BIOS de la carte mère gère ton "vrai" hardware, mais dans une machine 
virtuelle, il y a du hardware émulé, donc il faut un BIOS émulé :)
Ton BIOS ne saurait de toutes façons pas gérer le matériel émulé par 
QEMU (plateformes i440fx ou q35 pour x86).


Seabios -> virtual BIOS
OVMF-> virtual UEFI
(y'en a d'autres, comme rombios)

A mon avis tu avais installé ton système original en UEFI, d'où le 
problème avec Seabios quand émulé.
Une machine installée depuis le BIOS ne bootera pas sans modifs depuis 
l'UEFI, et vice-versa.


En revanche, tu peux avoir des machines virtuelles qui n'ont pas de BIOS 
du tout (Xen PV, PVH).



- un montage automatique des partitions paramétré dans PCmanFM-QT
(environnement LXQT), qui fait que quand qemu voulait accéder à
/dev/sdb (ancien système) il lançait un fsck systématique des
partitions, et plantait, pour se retrouver en shell de secours. Ne pas
lancer qemu sur une partition déjà montée (ou c'est PCman le problème
?)


QEMU refusera de se lancer sur une partition montée de la manière que 
les softs genre fsck refusent : ils veulent l'accès exclusif.


Pour éviter toutes manipulations sur des disques qui finissent dans une 
machine virtuelle (dans mon cas des partitions ZFS), j'utilise des 
règles udev.

Créer un fichier "/etc/udev/rules.d/99-hide-partitions.rules", avec :

SUBSYSTEM=="block", 
ENV{ID_PART_ENTRY_UUID}=="----", 
ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"


Remplacer les "h" par un UUID, répéter pour chaque partition.
C'est ptêt possible d'ignorer un disque, j'ai pas cherché, ce serait mieux !


- les partitions spécifiées par /dev/sdb et /dev/sdb1 etc. (sans doute
des restes de version précédentes de Debian) sont sujettes à être
confondues avec le nouveau système au niveau de grub.cfg (qui ne peut
accéder ensuite à /home), il est donc nécessaire de les spécifier par
le UUID (modifier /etc/default/grub pour décommenter
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true) et relancer update-grub (et modifier
/boot/grub/grub.cfg à la main est assez pénible quand on a pas le bon
clavier, mais étape nécessaire avant l'update du grub)


[.]_DISABLE_[.]_UUID=true, ça veut dire disable=true, donc ne -pas- 
utiliser les UUID ;) Foutues doubles négations ...



[snip]

ps : en investiguant un peu j'ai remarqué que AMI propose leur bios
sous licence BSD-2, peut-être est-ce une autre solution ?


T'as des liens stp ?

PS: trop tard pour cette fois, mais y'a des utilitaires pour transformer 
une machine physique en machine virtuelle, virt-p2v par exemple.

Lecture des informations d'état... Fait  
Calcul de la mise à jour... Erreur !
Certains paquets ne peuvent être installés. Ceci peut signifier
que vous avez demandé l'impossible, ou bien, si vous utilisez

L'information suivante devrait vous aider à résoudre la situation : 

Les paquets suivants contiennent des dépendances non satisfaites :
 libgnutls-dane0 : Dépend: libgnutls30 (= 3.8.3-1)
E: Erreur, pkgProblem::Resolve a généré des ruptures, ce qui a pu être causé
par les paquets devant être gardés en l'état.

Le problème de dépendance est étrange car ces deux paquets sont installés dans
la bonne version:

# apt-show-versions | grep libgnutls
libgnutls-dane0:amd64/testing 3.8.3-1 uptodate
libgnutls-dane0:i386/testing 3.8.3-1 uptodate

Have you tried kernel installed from bookworm-backports?

I hope the following should provide informative log for a suitable time 
frame.


- Unplug ethernet cable
- Start journalctl as root (e.g. "sudo -i" at first)
  journalctl -o short-precise -f | tee /tmp/cable.log
- Plug in the cable
- Wait ~15 seconds
- Kill the process by [Ctrl+C]

If unrelated system activity happened at this moment then it is better 
to repeat. The result should be saved to /tmp/cable.log (or another file 
you like).

People,

Please end the thread at this point. Thank you.

As Andy Smith points out, I asked politely for this thread to cease
a while ago because it would degenerate to more heat than light.
I was wrong - it degenerated to futility.

Please remember the FAQ: remember the Code of Conduct and the ways
to keep this list useful.

In a similar way to dealing with spam: stop replying when there's 
nothing constructive to add. If you think people are trolling,
don't spend ages discussing it, necessarily, because that will
encourage the thread to continue. Move to the next topic.

Any and all of you may think that this is political correctness
gone mad / censorship or whatever. Changing terminology is 
inevitable over time: making meanings clear (while at the same
time avoiding being potentially offensive) is a useful purpose
in itself.

Nobody is forcing an attitude change on every individual in
the Debian community but the continued ask is for people
to be constructive in dealing with each other. That's my
purpose in asking for this thread to stop - now.

Re: OT: End the Phone-Based Childhood Now

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

when i was a young Babyboomer in the late 1970s we were accused of
destroying society by a "twin culture of sexual license and cannabis".
The big Decline of the West was a sure thing, accelerated by excessive
tv consumption.
Other future threats were drying up oil wells, a comming ice age,
and the unstoppable fertility of the asian peoples.

Meanwhile the future is past and the pundits of the 70s are dead and
ridiculed.
Predictions are difficult - especially when it's about the future.


Have a nice day :)

Yes, it took a long time to understand what

Hm. libc6 hasn't changed /that/ much and is known to handle ABI
compatibility pretty well. I fear the other libs aren't as friendly.

The package system will try to prevent you doing that (for a good
reason), but you can talk it into doing it anyway.

Your best bet seems to be to download the package source and build
deps and re-build for bookworm (and see what breaks).

Not for the faint of heart, but not a research project either. What
are you trying to achieve?
