#1 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Ceres 64-bit and cannot install wine32:i386 » 2019-08-19 08:16:16

I answer to myself.
To make a 241.3-1 i386 deb, I downloaded it from debian website (http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/ma … 1_i386.deb for example).
It is not installable as is since the version includes "+debian1". To modify the version :

mkdir tmp
dpkg-deb -R libelogind0_241.3-1+debian1_i386.deb tmp
cd tmp/DEBIAN
# edit DEBIAN/control : modify "Version:" line : remove "+debian1"
cd ../..
dpkg-deb -b tmp libelogind0_241.3-1_i386.deb

Install modified deb, then follow bgstack15 post (https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=17389#p17389) to install libblkid1/libmount1/libuuid1 dependencies as needed.

#2 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Ceres 64-bit and cannot install wine32:i386 » 2019-08-14 04:03:23

Hello,
I can't install winehq (added a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list file with deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ buster main).
There's a libelogind0 version problem : installed amd64 version is 241.3-1, installable i386 is 241.1-1 (no other version available).
What can I do ?
Thank you !

#4 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Again Mate and permissions problem » 2018-05-09 08:33:01

Just wondering...
Why was the elogind package added to the repositories while elogind is part of systemd and Devuan was created to get rid of it ?
https://github.com/elogind/elogind

Elogind is the systemd project's "logind"

All of the credit for elogind should go to the systemd developers

Maybe for dependency reasons ?
For practical reasons ? To make polkit work ?

Please bring me light :-)
Kind regards.

How are you compiling? If from upstream non-debianized source code, your custom VLC may be much more different from our repository version than you think, which possibly may account for failure to produce video.

Here are my personal notes on building a .deb from debianized source code. Forgive me if you already know all this. If you do it this way, your custom package is virtually guaranteed to differ from our repository version only in what you change.

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential dpkg-dev fakeroot

make sure /etc/apt/sources.list has at least one deb-src line
(e.g., deb-src http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ ascii main)

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get build-dep vlc

$ apt-get source vlc

edit source code to taste

$ cd vlc-<version>

$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
(if this step complains about "missing upstream tarball", add -b flag)  

Sorry I can't be helpful in specifics. Graphics are not my forte.

Thank you for your help.
That's what I've tried before, but I must say that I want to compile VLC in a chrooted qemu-ed image, since I want to save my SD card (avoid lots of writes that could shorten its lifetime). Sadly, the compilation crashes with a core dump.
I'll try to submit my problem of making VLC work in an ARM64 environment to the VLC forum.

Hello,
I've recompiled VLC for Ascii ARM64 on RPi but cannot get image when using -vout omxil_vout.
I also tried under Jessie/arm64 with the same issue : "video output creation failed".
I roughly followed the procedure here : https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/tutoria … ax-il/3585
Could the maintainer add these compilation options please ?

--enable-omxil --enable-omxil-vout --enable-rpi-omxil --disable-mmal-codec --disable-mmal-vout

Thanks !
Devuan is a great distribution, and it would gain visibility if multimedia apps like VLC or Omxplayer where included and using HW acceleration (a lot of people use RPi as a multimedia station). I see a lot of tutos explaining how to compile VLC for Pi, wouldn't it save time and energy to people to have these 2 apps in the distrib ? I can help but I need help, too.

#7 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » ascii/raspberry 3 wifi problem » 2018-04-29 12:40:59

Here's a solution (found in https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk/issues/28 and https://quantum2.xyz/2017/10/27/install … with-wifi/) :
get https://cs.wallawalla.edu/%7Estiltr/rpi3_4.14.26.tar.gz
extract archive, overwrite /boot with content of 4.14.26_boot.tar.gz
extract 4.14.26_modules.tar.gz into root partition (kernel modules)
get debian image from https://people.debian.org/~stapelberg/r … IEW.img.xz
mount image, copy firmware from root partition (/lib/firmware/brcm/*430*)
it should work :-)

#9 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » ascii/raspberry 3 wifi problem » 2018-04-24 19:25:47

Thanks for the help.

I could install raspi-config, but the procedure didn't work (I tried twice), still no wlan0 or anything wireless else (only eth0 & lo).
By the way, A5 is not labelled "Device Tree" but SPI. Is it the same thing ?

Anyway, a SPI module is loaded

# lsmod |grep spi
spi_bcm2835            20480  0

and the devices are created

# ls -al /dev/spidev0.*
crw------- 1 root root 153, 0 Apr 24 21:15 /dev/spidev0.0
crw------- 1 root root 153, 1 Apr 24 21:15 /dev/spidev0.1

#10 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » ascii/raspberry 3 wifi problem » 2018-04-23 15:23:36

syslog does not give very much info either :

don't worry I'm not in a hurry :-)
by the way, here the output of lshw :

(this is a rpi, no pci bus as far as I know)

#14 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » ascii/raspberry 3 wifi problem » 2018-04-23 08:45:21

Thanks for answering !
ifconfig as root only lists lo and eth0.
One funny thing is that when I remove/modprobe the brcmfmac module, syslog only says the module is registred, nothing about firmware.

Hello,

I have no wlan0 appearing after a fresh ascii install in RPi3.

# iwlist scan
lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.

eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.
# ifup wlan0
Cannot find device "wlan0"
ifup: failed to bring up wlan0

I added brcmfmac to /etc/modules.

A devuan jessie on the same hardware (updated firmware) ran wifi OK. I tested with the distributed and updated firmware on ascii.

Thanks for the help.
