From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just tried installing Gnuinos and after finishing on first bootup this is what I get. I have tried on both Runit and SysVinit so I don’t think it’s do do with init issues. Any ideas on what the issue is and how to fix ? This system works fine with Trisquel so I know it’s libre friendly.
At the top of the screen you can see errors from LVM setup where it's searching for a volume group that's not there. I have absolutely zero experience with gnuinos, so no idea how that could've happened, but at some configuration file (I'd look from fstab first) there's a mention of gnuios-vg and the actual device name is something different.
Are you using full disk encryption? I assume you were prompted to unlock the disk, and got this error after unlocking the disk?
Yep that is accurate.
I recently got a problem where the disk's uuid reference somehow doesn't match with the actual uuid, leading to failed boot. A bit similar with this stackoverflow question, which might give you a pointer to start.
Are you using UUIDs instead of absolute paths ?
I used the automatic options for disk partitoning so i'm unsure.
Holup, what's GNUinos?
A libre version of Devuan. It uses the libre kernel by default and doesn't ship with any closed source programs or drivers in the repos.
