In the end i gave up. It was possible, and even easy to delete the root password, then i could log in, use startx etc. Also adduser to add a normal user with user-id 1000. But then, booting i always get an error on fsck 'fsck exited with error code 8' With Ctrl-D i could continue to boot, but the / volume was in read only mode. By 'mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda3 /' i could get it back into read-write mode. But it's only for one session the fsck error is back on any boot. But, searching the web for the error code of fsck i saw it seems something systemd related which needs patches here and there and i decided to give up. It's already nearly 2 days i'm fighting with this problem, and enough is enough. Someone knows about a clean and simple way to install devuan? _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
