Re: Installation failed... Reply #2 – 28 November 2017, 05:33:08 Τρίτωσε το κακό1st did you actually check if the installation is functional, even though the message says it failed?2nd It would be most interesting if with the same iso on the same machine you did the installation in English, would it produce the same error.3rd I've never done this myself, but would one be able to chroot (artools-chroot) from live to a virtual installation? I can't think why you could not.I suspect @nous would come to assistance with this when he is awake, if he ever goes to sleep anymore.
Re: Installation failed... Reply #3 – 28 November 2017, 11:24:46 I did reproduce the error using the greek locale; however, using the default english one worked. So, you can complete the installation in english and change the locale after first boot.

Good to know!And btw, i sure don't know what i'm doing The truth is, I have been playing with non-systemd distros lately.I have already manged to break artix and void up until now - not there yet with devuan...I have to say it's amazing these distros even exist in such a short time... There may be problems but that's expected from relatively new distros, imhoThe nice thing about it is that this is the first time i got from console to full X, installing things manually! Up until now, my distros (suse in the old days, debian and finally manjaro) took care of it for me; i never had to worry or care how or why. So thumbs up for artix!RegardsSpiros
Re: Installation failed... Reply #9 – 30 November 2017, 01:52:19 Since you are messing around with dev1 give the OpenRC-eudev-ascii-openbox a try from http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/files/experimental/This is like dev1 on steroids.

Re: Installation failed... Reply #12 – 30 November 2017, 20:46:30 We are getting off topic here, but Devuan Jessie is Debian Jessie w/o systemd. Debian Jessie was stable till May-17Devuan Ascii which is also very stable and complete is the same as Stretch. So it is not 2 releases back. Devuan ceres which is like one release ahead of buster also worked well. The substitute of the modified udev, eudev, has been running for months w/o a hickup. OpenRC seems to be functional as well.On the other hand the MX/antix approach to being systemd-free is not as clean as Devuan's approach. Different animals. Devuan may have inherited some Debian conservativism but when they formally announced Devuan 1.0 it had been running for a couple of years.
Re: Installation failed... Reply #13 – 30 November 2017, 21:46:12 Actually you are misquoting in favour of devuan it became stable this year testing, unstable, are not the stable releases,Antix has been going for years it was formally Mepis and a great newbie distro. Is artix 100% systemd free no its not. Is obarun nearly no thanks to Arch needlessly using systemd deps and not announcing them in pkgbuilds so yes its a struggle, does Debian do the same who knows?Don't get me wrong not putting devuan down but they in house fight to much and are dictatorial, that does not work.Mx is 100% community that does work since about 2010 I think when Mepis ceased due to ill health and old age.
