The service on the Devuan side has been running without interruption. We are not sure about the onion addresses it redirects to for packages coming directly from Debian. A bit more detail than "does not work" (e.g., providing the error message spat out by apt, or the name of the onion service that is failing) could be useful to pinpoint problems.

Rename them.
1. 'ls -i' #Gets the inode number.
2. 'find . -inum "inode-number-from-ls -i" -exec mv {} "newfilename" \;'
Man, I hate files with pathological filenames, and some of the
other-OS-originating examples are among the worst.

Some of the drivers, even those shipped _with_ Redmondware, were notoriously so buggy that you could seldom make them function at all. I believe it was 1998 that I spent a week at a client site in Portland, Oregon, and among other things was putting 3Com 3C905TX PCI NICs into workstations running MS-Windows 98. ISTR that I had access to the NDIS driver both from the OS and directly from 3Com -- and the problem was that, about 19 times out of 20, Device Manager showed the driver to be non-functional after you assembled the network stack. So, you deleted the entire network stack, maybe waved a dead chicken or two, reinstalled the NIC driver and network stack again, and re-tested. Repeat until it suddenly works. Nobody knew of a better workaround, and impliedly OEMs who shipped a working configuration with 3C905TX NICs had gone through the same madness until a test box worked, and then disk-imaged that fluke success for mass replication. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

And yes, I made the video before I knew how to do full disk encryption. I thought d-i did it correctly, but I might be remembering wrong. I know refractainstaller will do full disk encryption and add the cryptodisk line to /etc/default/grub. It won't edit cryptsetup.functions for you to help with shutdown. I've seen a few different fixes for that. If it's not fixed upstream, I guess I should pick one. fsr ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

If you have a BIOS that will boot from a USB disk then you can encrypt your whole hard drive. You have to protect the USB disk, though, and should probably keep a few in case one fails. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Every time Windows requests a reboot, I suborn it ny rebooting to Linux, doing a complete nackup of the Windows system, and then rebooting to resume the installation. When the installer crashes, I restore the lastest partly installed Windows from backup and resume. Worked like a charm. Of course, that was years and years ago. I don't have any idea what installing WIndows is like now. -- hendrik ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
