Buster dog is great. Will there be a Bullseye dog?

[Kennel Dweller]

I am loving the Buster dog so much it is my main go to os now, all my confusers have it installed.
Really enjoyed creating my own iso's from it and tweaking them how I want them, all my old scripts suddenly work again. now I am able to make autotrace stand alone.
I wondered if there are any plans for Bullseye dog?
Bring out the Bill Sykes in me lol.

Great to hear! (but what are "confusers" ? )
Yes, certainly when Bullseye has become the new stable, but I planned already to share a preview that I've been working on (will do soon), but note that it's in "testing" stage/branch at this point of time.

Thanks for a quick reply, thanks for any reply, nice to know the group is active and keeping current.

Confuser was a generic term where I used to work.
Ticket logged as: make.a black one. model. button on front. location. on my desk. Fault. it don't work.
Since then it has been the name for any computer, old habit hard to break.
Great news about the Bullseye, I would love to try out any testing issues you may want to share, it has become a hobby for me lately.
Install it break it reinstall it lol.

Hi Kennel Dweller, here's a Bullseye preview ISO 64-bit. I'd appreciate if you can test and report issues, for me it's a good preparation for when Bullseye will become the new "stable".
DebianDog-Bullseye-20201127-overlay_amd64-UEFI.iso / Md5sum
Note that at this point of time it's very similar to Sid : viewtopic.php?f=46&t=824 ("testing" branch is close to "unstable")
And it's using overlay instead of aufs, see info: viewtopic.php?p=10594#p10594
Happy breaking

Wooo Hooo playtime.

Downloaded fine and installed to SD card with DDog-installer in seconds, quicker than me typing a dd command.
Booted SD and installed to SSD dev/sda1 using DDog-Full-Installer all looked fine but failed to boot from SDA1 with 'Error 15: file not found'
4 failed burn and boot attempts at Full-install given up for tonight but it is working faultless for me as a live system so far.

Thanks for link and the opportunity to try it out Fred.

Fixed by adding the missing initrd.img, it now boots as full install on test confuser, IBM Lenovo i5, 120G ssd, 16G ram.
I'll get back to it later, her indoors has dragged me against my better judgement weekly shopping.

Thanks for the reporting.
I tested full-install and for me /boot/initrd.img was created, strange..., but I found another issue (copying of grldr and menu.list failed in my case)
Anyway, I made a few changes in the script that may fix things (initrd.img created in a different way) and added new debdoginstallscripts package to the repo, install v1.1.4 with synaptic or apt:

Code: Select all

apt update
apt install debdoginstallscripts  # should install v1.1.4

Can you try it again (full-install) when you have time?

Fred

[Kennel Dweller]

Worked perfect first time Fred.
Booted to live system.
Used Synaptic to mark all updates and it only showed the install scripts to updated.
Writing this from my newly Full-installed system with changes made in live.

Hi Brian, great that full-install worked OK now.

For info, by default the Debian repository is set to static (from snapshot.debian), which means NO "upgradable" packages available, unless you change the date of the snapshot repo to recent (or change to "Standard"), by running "Repository configuration" from Menu, see more here: (Sid thread)
