VBox 7.0.12 has the fix and it's all good.

Quote from: DeepDayze on December 23, 2023, 11:36:05 PMThanks for this and wasn't aware of this new way to install VSIDO. Would been cool if there was a way to set this up on a UEFI system perhaps with a script to run to then mount the EFI partition after the fsarchive has been successfully restored and then install the grub EFI packages and set it up to boot.
Hey Dayze, good to see you.. I believe PackRat and Jedi have talked about that and possibly have come up with a solution.

In your scenario does the UEFI system already have grub on it? If the answer is yes then wouldn't a update-grub on that system then find the VSIDO install and then you could manipulate grub from there whatever way you wanted to, right?

Long time no see, VastOne and hope all's well with you.

In my case I was assuming a fresh new install and setting up the ESP partition, root partition (where I'd restore the FSA to), and another partition for home folders. If I already had the partitions set up and maybe there's a Windows partition, would it just be necessary to add to the fstab the entry for the EFI ESP and mount it to /boot/efi after restoring and then run update-grub?

I appreciate that DeepDayze and really if I find an installer I will carry this on

Siduction  just released a new version using the Calamares (spelling?) installer. That would likely usable for you
Maybe then someone familiar with it might be of help in showing VastOne how to set it up to work with Vsido.

Which installers have you looked at?

Any familiarity with the Xebian Project??

It uses the Debian installer for a Sid install (I successfully installed it to metal the one time I tried). You can hit that code tab and see their configuration.

I tried getting a Sid build/iso from a Debian live-build setup. Someone else did the heavy lifting to set up a Debian stable system. But the build process would always fail. Maybe you can spot the tweak needed to get Sid to successfully build.

Hey PackRat, I also remember you from the BunsenLabs forums and what about the BL installer and do you think it will work for Vsido?

Thanks for all the fish VastOne, and vsido will be missed. Hopefully someone can take your project over so it can live on.

While I don't comment here nearly as much as I used to, I very proudly have used VSIDO since I found VastOnes post on the Crunchbang forums....... That was a long time ago!
I run my business with it, have had a few customers move from Ubuntu, one from Windows and love it as much today as I did the day I fisrt installed.

Happy birthday VastOne!
Yup many eons ago that was :)

VastOne sure has made one distro that's well worth it, and who would carry the mantle if the day ever comes that he's stepping down or leaves this mortal coil?

Hello Vger and everyone! Doing a drive-by and decided to post a screenie of Crowz Fluxbox with Vsido configs! Well almost not quite for my daily driver! Running Devuan Ceres (unstable), been on my machine a long while, from ascii to beowulf and ceres over the last 6 months and not even a hiccup! :)


No wallpaper, just my old zephyr alchemy symbol for "air"!

cheers

zephyr

Terminal using Urxvt
crowz-welcome
neofetch

That desktop looks cool and I've downloaded the CROWZ OB ISO to try out. Never ran a Devuan based distro before so will try this out using a spare HD.

So that looks like Debian will still prefer Systemd over the other init systems rather than treat them all equally.

I should play with fsarchiver as it may come in handy as I plan to move from an aging WD Raptor to an SSD soon.

Good to see you are still around VastOne. Hopefully soon Debian Sid will settle down after the freeze for Buster and then that be a good time for VSIDO to rise like a phoenix.

For gtk3?

There is darK (gnome-look) - that also has a nice icon theme to go with it. And Dobbie over at ArchLabs had put together some nice dark themes. His themes and the default ArchLabs themes are nice.

Or do you want a dark fluxbox theme? At box-look.org there are tin-black, noir, and the elfin series (elfin2 has a glitch, I believe). There is also the tenr fluxbox style site.

Nice theme that reminds me of the KDE Breeze theme.

Any great dark themes suggestions for Flux?
