#1 Other Issues » What is the real MAC of wlan0 ? » 2024-09-20 10:12:44

Replies: 12

Hi,

in Devuan 4 (that run as a Virtual Machine)

in the xfce GUI Network connection, under the tab Wi-Fi I can see Device: wlan0 (a MAC address )

with nmcli

...
wifi (the chipset name), a different MAC address
...

So I was wondering which one give the true "physical"/OEM MAC address

Thanks

I also noticed that the third command

gpg -n -q --import --import-options import-show /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc | awk '/pub/{getline; gsub(/^ +| +$/,""); if($0 == "35BAA0B33E9EB396F59CA838C0BA5CE6DC6315A3") print "\nThe key fingerprint matches ("$0").\n"; else print "\nVerification failed: the fingerprint ("$0") does not match the expected one.\n"}'

gpg: keyblock resource '/root/.gnupg/pubring.kbx': No such file or directory

The key fingerprint matches (35BAA0B33E9EB396F59CA838C0BA5CE6DC6315A3).

Is the Public ring is somewhere else on devuan ?

Thanks.

WHERE ARE MY GITLAB PROJECTS ???

Devuan has migrated from the gitlab store.
You should register here and migrate your projects.

Is this url still the GIT for Devuan ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm using Chimaera 4 and I ❤️ it !

of course I'm looking to upgrade it to Daedalus 5.0 or excalibur

But I've done a LOT of core/system changes like in `/etc/sysctl.d` disabling a lot a Daemon etc etc..

So is an upgrade would be wise ? or should I start with a fresh install ?

Thanks

Hi,

I would like to be noticed for every new Devuan release.

I like very much RSS, but it seem there is none available on devuan.org

So for now I will subscribe on https://dev1galaxy.org/extern.php?actio … 2&type=rss ( News & Announcements )

But this also include other news than release, So I humbly propose to create a new forum section (Release) that will contain duplicate/link post of only release ?

Cheers.

Hi,

I'm serving websites (trough Python). For the moment the venv are located under /home/aUser/Sites I'm wondering if it's a good place ? Maybe a place like /Sites will be better ?

Is there any concern doing so ?

a "simple"

apt install gcc

Thank you all for your reply !

Thank you that have confirmed my thinking. I'm shocked that some people can post "tutorial" without mastering a bit the topic.... Internet peoples.. big_smile

@boughtonp, oh great indeed I will use also a regex expression in grep to avoid to have the grep itself in the results.

ps aux | grep 'cron$'

Hi everyone,

I would like to create a cronjob.

I've found a "tutorial" online -->  https://linuxhandbook.com/crontab/#the-cron-daemon

But it's start already weirdly...

on his example

christopher@pop-os:~$ ps ux | grep crond
christo+  8942  0.0  0.0  18612   840 pts/0    S+   02:16   0:00 grep --color=auto crond

I can see that the daemon is running for my user account.

neutral for me it's look like that we see the grep process ! not the crond !? Am I right?

anyway I've tried on my Devuan(Chimaera) and I don't see a crond running.. is that normal ?

Thanks.

Hi everyone !

I'm running Chimaera and I would like to update my nginx to >= 1.19.4

When running https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/poli … x&x=submit I get:

nginx

1.22.1-9
  http://deb.devuan.org/merged ceres/main amd64
  http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus/main amd64

1.18.0-6.1+deb11u3
  http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera/main amd64
  http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera/main i386

So it's seem that 1.22.1-9 is ready for the next Devuan release ( I can't wait smile )

But how can I update my Chimaera to a version above 1.19.4 ?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I would to get/generate an SSL (TLS) certificate for a website.

I would like to use Let'sEncrypt and I found this guide that target Devuan smile -->

https://certbot.eff.org/instructions?ws … uanbeowulf

But when I try

sudo apt update
sudo apt install certbot certbot-nginx

I get

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package certbot-nginx

I don't know if certbot-nginx is required as I will most probably go with the option:
just get a certificate from this guide

certbot.eff.org wrote:

Or, just get a certificate

If you're feeling more conservative and would like to make the changes to your nginx configuration by hand, run this command.

sudo certbot certonly --nginx

So is certbot-nginx required ? Did you already installed a Let's encrypt certificate on your Devuan ?

Thanks
