]]>EDIT: fwiw when I log off from Miyo I am seeing an error message that refers to "connmand". I'm not sure what it means or where the details may be hidden.
]]>Later: The only other thing I can think of is that Miyo/Devuan/antiX all use eudev rather than udev (MX Linux) and elogind.
]]>It seems weird.
]]>He removed connman and saw that network-manager is also faulty on his box.
So, connman did not bork his system, something else did.
Oh...I must have somehow missed that.
]]>@MiyoLinux... it went pear shaped on me for the third time. No network connects through the browser. This time I left the partition alive and just put MXLinux running dwm on a second partition. I'm happy to work with you or @Head_on_a_Stick or others to see if we can find the problem.
There is some hardware that doesn't like connman no matter what. I don't remember which ones.
If you boot a live version of Miyo-Rolling with an Ethernet cable, can you successfully run an apt update?
If so, after the apt update, do a...
apt install network-manager-gnome
...
...then do a...
apt remove cmst
After that, use the terminal or Run Command and enter...
nm-applet
It should appear in your system tray. Click on it to see if you can connect to your network. If everything works, then install the system. It will keep network-manager-gnome on the installed system and not have CMST.
]]>@MiyoLinux, I was the guy pestering you on Sourceforge....
So here is what I have done and am testing. For the last few hours things have worked. Yay!
As @Head_on_a_Stick will confirm, I do beat on my systems. I'm also reasonably tenacious. lol Anyway here's what I have done:Miyo (Devuan) dwm Install/ Build
Replace Network Connman and start MiyoLinux:
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install firefox network-manager nm-tray network-manager-gnome sudo apt remove connman cmst sudo reboot
After First reboot (I install the stuff I want. btw. I have also used deb files for various apps like skype, zoom, etc because I prefer to avoid appimages flatpaks, snaps.) :
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt autoremove sudo apt install firefox thunderbird dunst rofi geany conky filezilla nnn ranger feh luckybackup timeshift virtualbox libreoffice bpytop celluloid gimp neofetch keepassxc qpdfview transmission zathura zenity yad zim sxiv i3lock-fancy xarchiver xcompmgr conky sxhkd variety mousepad
For use in installing and setting up dwm (st & slstatus):
sudo apt install make gcc libx11-dev libxft-dev libxinerama-dev xorg
Note
I keep all my suckless tools in ~/.local/bin and place that in my path via bashrc with the following:# Add local 'pip' to PATH: (In your .bashrc, .zshrc etc) export PATH="${PATH}:${HOME}/.local/bin/" export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH
editing your config.h files, compiling suckless tools are beynd the scope of this brief tutorial.
Misc. Tools
calibre:
sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin
I'll let folks know what I encounter... or when I really give up.
Hey...thanks!
It has been a long time since I've used DWM. I might give it a try soon.
]]>Sync problems sometimes happen. I recommend retrying a few more times. I usually succeed after the second or third attempt.
This has been my experience also. Strange thing is, it has only happened after a fresh installation. After that, I personally haven't experienced it again...but I'm special. LOL!

]]>I do like breaking things.
I did decide to do yet another reinstall of Miyo. Got the network thing hammered into place only to discover Devuan repos would not sync. So... I just decided that Ceres/Rolling is probably not reliable enough for me. I do really like Miyo, though.
and now for something really different, I am off to play with Void some.
Sync problems sometimes happen. I recommend retrying a few more times. I usually succeed after the second or third attempt. Also, Ceres is VERY stable on my machines, and I have not returned to Beowulf or Chimaera ever since. The few instances of breakage I've experienced have been mild at worst. You just have to use common sense.
]]>Someone recently said the same thing on Sourceforge about CMST on Miyo-Rolling a couple of weeks ago. So...I suggested they...
First install network-manager-gnome.
Then remove CMST.
It worked for me on Ceres...but I don't like network-manager-gnome, so I removed it and installed CMST again. Hahaha!
Might be an option if you ever want to try it again in the future.
Ceres has been absolutely stable for me, but then again, I have very minimal setups, so there's not much to break.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

]]>After running for two days connman-cmst totally borked my install.... Even wired eth did not work. Would not be 'made' to work...
I have run out of machines to break neither of my two laptops were at all happy with whatever ingredient is hiding in connman.. btw. antiX does the same thing (it also insists on using connman).
Sadly, I'm thinking about installing the laptop with MX (non-systemd). Whatever connman might save in space it's not worth it to me, anyway.
