The network.
The repositories should be good; Debian Sid. No special VSIDO repos like BL.

You may have to set up the locale. The fsarchive is created from a system in the Central Time Zone. As I recall, that carries over.

Quote from: jedi on May 09, 2025, 02:39:53 AMOk so my issue with no wireless was pretty bizarre! I'll show you the list of pkg's I installed via dpkg in order to get network access.  Of course as with all VSIDO installs, the system is awesome!  VastOne has obviously built a very tight ship with VSIDO as we're all still here after well over a decade!  Thanks much VastOne, I'm still taking advantage even when you're not looking!  Believe it or not there's been nothing else on my pc's and laptop's since 2012 if memory serves, perhaps a little earlier than that!

Oh yeah, that stuff I installed in order to get connected!  brb with that...



Perhaps not all of the above was needed, but I couldn't get Network Manager to work from the fluxbox menu or the cli and Ceni wasn't picking up any hardware for wireless or ethernet.  That was a first for me btw.  When trying to run the Network Manager from the cli, or nmtui I would get a not installed or configured message that I've forgotten of course!  The last of the message however, was not forgotten or lost;

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of network-manager:
 network-manager depends on libbluetooth3 (>= 4.91); however:
  Package libbluetooth3 is not installed.
 network-manager depends on libndp0 (>= 1.2); however:
  Package libndp0 is not installed.
 network-manager depends on libnm0 (= 1.52.0-6); however:
  Package libnm0 is not installed.
 network-manager depends on libteamdctl0 (>= 1.9); however:
  Package libteamdctl0 is not installed.


I figure you're build sys is not a lappy!!!  Up until now that is!  Congrats on the 'new' hardware.  My last couple of good laptops came from a buddy in the tech industry!  Cheers...

I would connect to a wired network temporarily to get updates and then install any firmware and wifi/bluetooth packages to get the wifi and BT up and running.

I've been away a while and I could possibly play with testing installing Vsido to a spare test system that has UEFI enabled and secure boot disabled. I'll set up the partitions and use the UUID of the existing newly formatted filesystem when extracting the .fsa to the newly prepared root partition while setting the fstab entry for the ESP to ensure GRUB2 installs.  Once all extracted and the fstab set up then I'll set up the chroot so that I can then install the grub packages for EFI.

After boot into new system then it falls on the user to go configure the network as well as the repositories, correct?

Clean trixie install -
