Now, you might want a trinity bug report just to keep this a wee bit
closer to the list topic:
The only problem I have with trinity is I can't install it anywhere
because the keyserver will not give me a key from the key retrieval
command line shown in the "Debian Trinity Repository Installation
Instructions", printed out from the wiki page of that title, its
refusing my connection but I can ping keyserver.quickbuild.io just fine.
Once I have that, and this next install actually installs a grub2 booter,
I ought to be off to the races. The rest of it should be just a-h and
elbows efforts until I have stretch running as smooth as wheezy is right
now. As I've probably forgotten 50% of what I did, I know some of it
will probably have to be re-invented, but I'll at least see the light at
the end of the tunnel.

Now, I just did 2 more installs, turning off my
speakers first,
neither of which installed a byte of grub to the /boot partition.
So I rebooted a third time to the live image, and found no trace of
a grub in any dir of the live image boot. So there is no chance of
fixing the installers hiccups. I think this last time I had it save
the logs to the boot partition on this drive, but I'll be damned if
I can find them.
I did find a way around formatting the disk, but the first time it
mentioned installing grub it wanted to put it in the MBR of
/dev/sda1, which I refused as I'll goto the bios boot menu to boot
from the chosen disk. So far I have managed to keep it from
screwing up the boot from sda.
Hi Gene,
Is there some Trinity bug being reported here that I am overlooking?
Or would this thread be better directed to a Debian or Devuan mailing
list related to whichever installer you are experiencing problems
with, and where the list members might be more able to offer relevant
advice and solutions?
