[tde-users] Re: drop-in ubuntu replacements?

Hi dep! Anno domini 2023 Thu, 09 Mar 22:34:42 +0000 dep via tde-users scripsit: You might want devuan - but it's not exactly a drop-in replacement. Anyway, this is what I usually do: 1) install "apt-mark" and save the list of manually installed packages: apt-mark showmanual > manual.txt 2) make a backup of your data and/or get a new/clan ssd for the OS - or at least make a copy of /etc for config files you might want to reuse, e.g. "rsync -av /etc /home/dep/etc-saved" 3) make a copy of /root - you'll want to keep it for later, too - "rsync -av /root /home/dep/root-saved" 4) make a copy of you $HOME e.g. "rsync -av /home/dep /home/dep-save" 5) make a minimal clean installation of devuan daedalus http://vagrant.devuan.org/devuan_daedalus/installer-iso/ and create your user account 6) change /etc/apt/sources.list to include TDE + install the TDE keyring 7) apt update 8) install al manually installed packages from before: # apt install $(cat manual.txt) 9) move the new $HOME out of the way and replace it with your old $HOME, e.g.: # mv /home/dep /home/dep-new # mv /home/dep-save /home/dep 10) reboot + log in You'd be up and running in ~ 2 hours. Keep in mind, that some of TDEs configs are in /root/.trinity - that's why you need to keep it. Also note that it might be a good idea to change from "sudo" to "doas"- Nik -- Please do not email me anything that you are not comfortable also sharing with the NSA, CIA ...
