#1 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Xorg not detecting keyboard or mouse in Excalibur/Ceres » 2024-01-11 01:22:20

Hi ralph.ronnquist
thanks for that, another clue!
TLDR: eudev isn't running as it can't find sed because PATH in the script won't go to /usr/bin as its PATH="/lib/udev:/sbin:/bin"
For eudev/unstable 3.2.14-1 amd64
and sed/unstable 4.9-2 amd64

I edited /etc/init.d/eudev to include /usr/bin in the PATH
Started service eudev, wowee saw a bunch of text fly up the screen!
Restarted service slim, got a working keyboard and logged in!
Yippee!
Thanks for the hint, that's solved it for now.
Until eudev gets updated with the  PATH="/lib/udev:/sbin:/bin"

Details:

# ls -la /dev/dri
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root       80 Jan 11 11:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root     3260 Jan 11 11:03 ..
crw-------  1 root root 226,   0 Jan 11 11:03 card0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root root 226, 128 Jan 11 11:03 renderD128

eudv isn't running!

# service eudev status
udevd is not running ... failed!

eudev wont start as is can't find sed!

# service eudev start
/etc/init.d/eudev: 84: sed: not found
mknod: missing operand after ‘c!’
Special files require major and minor device numbers.
Try 'mknod --help' for more information

locating this line of code in /etc/init.d/eudev

# sed -n '84p' /etc/init.d/eudev
      c|b|c!|b!) mknod -m $mode $name $type $(echo $arg | sed 's/:/ /') ;;

locating sed:

# which sed
/usr/bin/sed

and the path

# echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

but the script sets a different path on line 11:

# grep -n PATH /etc/init.d/eudev
11:PATH="/lib/udev:/sbin:/bin"

searching for eudev and grep packages

# apt list --installed | grep -E 'eudev\/|sed\/'
eudev/unstable,testing,now 3.2.14-1 amd64 [installed]
sed/unstable,testing,now 4.9-2 amd64 [installed]

Hi stultumanto,
Thanks for the insight!
Did you do force X to use the intel driver via /etc/X11/xorg.conf or some other way?
As in kernel parameters at boot time?
Thanks again,

#3 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » removing pulseaudio correctly / Chimaera » 2024-01-08 00:28:23

Hi kapqa,
I too went the "nuclear" route to be rid of pulseaudio and ran into problems.

Until I read this post specifically on how to install pipewire:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5867

In sort:

  • Install metapackage pipewire-audio: it will remove pulseaudio automatically

  • edit .xsession with code below

  • reboot computer

enjoy the audio from pipewire wink

# kill any existing pipewire instance to restore sound
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/wireplumber 1>/dev/null 2>&1
pkill -u "$USER" -fx /usr/bin/pipewire 1>/dev/null 2>&1
		
exec /usr/bin/pipewire &
		
# wait for pipewire to start before attempting to start related daemons
while [ "$(pgrep -f /usr/bin/pipewire)" = "" ] ; do
   sleep 1
done
		
exec /usr/bin/wireplumber &
		
exec /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse &

Hi Rolfie,
Thanks for that, Yeah, I noticed to that after the reports were generated!
in defence:

$ cat /etc/devuan_version 
daedalus/ceres

I have thought about rolling back to stable, though, it was running nicely for over a year, till a few days ago!

I have tried lightdm, but it refuses to even get to show a X screen and falls back to the console.
I have another go at lightdm and other dms over the next few days.
thanks again for your suggestions!

This happened a few days ago after an upgrade.
No usable X sessions available!
I ssh from another machine to get to a vterm, kill the wm (SLiM) and get to a console.

Thanks in advance for your help!

After installing pipewire-audio and startup script from GlennW

reboot system and log back in to get sound working with pipewire

then its all golden sound from pipewire and freedom from pulseaudio wink

#7 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] qcow2 virtual images for Daedalus » 2023-11-08 20:27:17

thanks fsmithred!

Yep, the trust verification from the volunteer images is difficult.
I eventually did what you sugggested, boot the live-iso to do the testing.
and later plan to install to a .qcow2 image.

Hi Devuan Brains Trust,

Will there be an official qcow2 virtual image available like there was for Ascii? and Devuan-Jessie?

The virtual image was very handy for testing apps out and opening suspicious emails in a secure environment.

Looking forward to your help on this!

HI aluma,

Thanks  for your  reply.

No pain here, only a request to original author correct their notes.

And link to instaling Devuan and  a custom kernel.
Always useful.

BTW I have already installed as a dual boot on a lappie https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=44111#p44111

Hi All,

I am looking for clues on to run timeshift as a system daemon.
https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift

This is so timeshift is started by init on bootup or manually as a service.

So far I have found notes on how to daemonize for a systemd system, which wouldn't work with Devuan.

Please point me in the right direction so I can learn how to do this!

thanks in advance!

#15 Re: Installation » Debian->Devuan Install Notes » 2023-09-06 00:25:53

Hi Esleep,

Thank you for the effort in presenting your detailed system install notes!

From the printout you provide from the command "pstree" it appears your system is running systemd.

xfin@ity:~$ pstree

systemd─┬─ModemManager───2*[{ModemManager}]
        ├─NetworkManager───2*[{NetworkManager}]
        ├─acpid
        ├─agetty
        ├─dbus-daemon

This isn't possible with Devuan as it uses "init" to boot the system.

from my lappie running Devuan 5:

root@pipz:~# pstree
init─┬─ModemManager───2*[{ModemManager}]
     ├─NetworkManager───2*[{NetworkManager}]
     ├─apache2─┬─apache2
     │         └─2*[apache2───26*[{apache2}]]
     ├─at-spi-bus-laun─┬─dbus-daemon
     │                 └─3*[{at-spi-bus-laun}]
     ├─at-spi-bus-laun───3*[{at-spi-bus-laun}]
     ├─at-spi2-registr───2*[{at-spi2-registr}]

Please think about revising your notes to show the install of a system that is systemd-free.

Thanks in advance!

Hi xinomillo,
Thanks for the very helpful instructions, now I have a working machine!

reboot to "recovery mode", enter root password and log in as root.
or via ssh in from another machine.

Assess using "less" /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
Using "/" to search for "EE" and find this error:

$ less /var//log/Xorg.0.log

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libinput10 : Depends: libwacom9 (>= 2.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: libinput-bin (>= 1.23.0-2) but it is not going to be installed
 libqt5svg5 : Depends: libqt5widgets5 (>= 5.15.10+dfsg~) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Asking atp to remove libinput10, this would remove 230 packages and free 930MB!

I am unsure what to do next, other than getting a list of manually installed packages and rolling back to Daedalus or Chimaera.
Reading closer on the link you posted, looking like systemd is moving to stop non-systemd distros via udev.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi All,

No keyboard or mouse at the display manager gui display. 
However, can ssh into the box and disable the display manager and boot into cli.
Its then possible to then run startx into xfce4.
However,  still no keyboard and the mouse cursor is stuck in middle of the screen.

After following instructions from https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php … 18#p718218
as in reinstalling xserver-xorg-input-libinput and reconfiguring udev, the keyboard and mouse are still unresponsive in gui.

here is apt policy file:  http://ix.io/4BGj
here is Xorg.0.log file:  http://ix.io/4BGl

thanks in advance for help to get this sorted!

Hi Hararune,
Theres 3 Cockpit alternatives listed here: https://www.how2shout.com/tools/top-fre … tools.html
1. aaPanel
2. Ajenti Server Admin Panel (could need systemd)
3. Webmin
Another 10 Cpanel tools listed here: https://www.how2shout.com/tools/top-fre … panel.html
and a Wikipedia entry that uses a table to list the properties of each Cpanel:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compariso … rol_panels
I've only used Webmin and that was a few years before ZFS.
Web management of the ZFS would be very nice to have.
Best wishes exploring !

I do not recommend mixing package repositories from different releases. It will mess and eventually destroy your system.

This fine page https://www.devuan.org/os/packages explains the use of backports package source.
It is advised to disable backports and only enable to install specific packages.
More advanced users may be able to give backports a lower priority (apt pinning) and install packages by specifying the target release (-t).
Please consult the apt documentation (e.g. man apt-get)

Check if the required Firefox version is in backports.
Alternatively, you can always download and use the latest Firefox version from upstream:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/a … op-release

Thanks mmaglis for the advice.
FF from Ceres in this Chimaera box has been running fine for the past month.
However due to the issues raised, ie pulling additional packages which could eventually break the system,
I will replace FF with the tar.gz so as to have a stable system and at same time be able to update FF easily.
