Radeon HD 6950 GPU

That should be supported by the stock radeon(4) driver, have you installed the firmware? That might provide acceptable performance.

Do you know what file in firefox stores the url for the dns server?

I think it's set by network.trr.resolvers.

The man page tells me I have to edit

/etc/network/interfaces

Ok now I am a bit tired. I don't understand how the interface is brought up automatically during boot up

Enable the networking service to run the ifupdown scripts automatically at boot.

Define "right". I much prefer /etc/network/interfaces over wicd or ceni, but then I prefer systemd-networkd over ifupdown so...

Why Wicd doesn't work

Please describe how you are attempting to make it work and what exactly happens when it doesn't work. Check the logs for errors and post them here if you can't figure out what they mean.

Ha! found it: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php? … 09&start=0

Bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=925309

So try copying /boot/efi/EFI/devuan to /boot/efi/EFI/debian

EDIT: or perhaps use

# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader-id=debian

No, let's leave it for now. I think it's aimed more at non-UEFI systems anyway.

Indeed. This is starting to ring a bell with me about an old fdn thread that p.H handled and subsequently opened a bug report about. I'll see if I can find it again...

#2607 Re: Other Issues » Patch Firefox like OpenBSD » 2020-01-25 20:58:14

www/firefox-esr in OpenBSD 6.6 has network.trr.mode set to "0" (zero), just like Devuan.

EDIT: upgraded to -current and the setting is the same.

#2608 Re: Other Issues » Strange grub problem » 2020-01-25 20:55:30

sgage wrote:

what is telling grub where to get its menu from?

I think the information is embedded in grubx64.efi

It may be time to unleash /usr/sbin/bootinfoscript — the output will be lengthy so perhaps use https://paste.debian.net/

#2609 Re: Other Issues » Strange grub problem » 2020-01-25 20:25:10

How very strange hmm

Is the EFI system partition definitely mounted under /boot/efi?

lsblk -f

Try changing /boot/efi/EFI/devuan/grub.cfg to this:

search.fs_uuid 9685be15-8423-402b-b734-f92844748a90 root hd0,gpt6
set prefix=($root)'/boot/grub'
configfile $prefix/grub.cfg

I'm booting via $ESP/EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi using GRUB but there is no grub.cfg in $ESP/EFI/BOOT/ so I'm not sure if that's actually needed.

Yes, you're right.

I'm installing OpenBSD in QEMU now to test, back soon.

It seems that beowulf's grub does not parse the grub.cfg file in /boot/efi/EFI/devuan

Can we see the content of that file please.

sgage wrote:

reinstalled grub to create a new one

How did you do that, exactly?

And can we please see the output of

# parted --list
efibootmgr -v
/sbin/blkid

The boot-info-script package (/usr/sbin/bootinfoscript) will show exactly what's going on but I can't be bothered trawling through the wall-of-output so give me a few posts to work it out for myself first. Thanks.

Otto changed it from 3, not to 3

The undeadly.org page says "to 3" but I can't find the relevant setting in either all-openbsd.js or the Makefile.

So which did Otto really do?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#2613 Re: Other Issues » Patch Firefox like OpenBSD » 2020-01-25 15:46:14

^ Well that is interesting, I though I had misunderstood the network.trr.mode options but it seems otto@ has set it to "3" in OpenBSD, which would still use CloudFlare for portal detection and telemetry.

DoT ftw!

#2614 Re: Installation » upgrading from ascii to beowulf, libpolkit-qt5-1-1 stuck (solved) » 2020-01-25 14:47:33

See also https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=19567#p19567

tl;dr: libpolkit-qt5-1-1 has a dependency on libpam-systemd, which doesn't exist in Devuan.

How would I go about transitioning sysvinit scripts to shepherd under devuan

Read the documentation: https://www.gnu.org/software/shepherd/m … l#Services

Probably a lost cause though because it seems to be tightly integrated with herd.

EDIT: removed wind-up, it's not worth it.

If the firmware is missing then compiling and installing drivers won't help at all.

MysticLord wrote:

How can I determine what is wrong with the USB connection?

Perhaps dhclient is messing up the addresses.

Compare & contrast the output of

ip r

On your computer and your phone. They should both be using the same address range and gateway.

it doesn't have wifi drivers

The drivers for your wireless card are probably already included in the kernel but you might not have the (non-free) firmware that is required by your card.

What is your wireless hardware?

#2618 Re: Other Issues » USB tethering? » 2020-01-22 18:37:59

What if you start wicd again and try using that? It should have an option for the usb0 interface once the phone is connected.

#2619 Re: Other Issues » USB tethering? » 2020-01-22 18:27:52

Well that is baffling hmm

Have you tried something other than ping, for example:

sudo apt update

Perhaps your ISP is funny about ICMP requests. [/desperation]

So its a bit of a mindfield in AUR in relation to malware then

Oh yes. I may have overstated the risk somewhat but I have an AUR account and I could upload a package right now that would rm -rf your entire system when installed and it would be added straight away with no checks or vetting. Always read the PKGBUILD before installing anything from there.

#2621 Re: Installation » SOLVED: Stop printers from being added - kill Bluetooth » 2020-01-22 12:16:01

I've never owned a printer but you can use this command to list enabled services and toggle their state:

# sysv-rc-conf

Disable the "cups" service with:

# sysv-rc-conf cups off

EDIT: typo.

easytether is in the AUR

Yeah, the AUR is chock-full of malware and the Arch documentation advises to beware of -bin packages because they are opaque.

Anyway, panic over because the .deb won't even install in Devuan:

Screenshot-from-2020-01-22-08-18-56.png

It uses systemd-networkd to connect...

Here are drivers to help with USB Tethering - [redacted]

What are you trying to pull? Is that pure malware or are you just advertising for your shitty company?

@all: *do not* follow the installation instructions, the .deb packages contain opaque binaries that do god-only-knows-what and the "configuration files" are complete nonsense.

Tethering does not require drivers.

I don't understand what $interface is referring to. usb0? The output of ip link (if so, what part of that output)?

Run this command with the phone *not* plugged in:

ip link

Then plug the phone in (with tethering enabled) and run the command again, the $interface will be whatever new interface is added (probably called "usb0").

Post the outputs here if you can't understand them.

MysticLord wrote:

Devuan doesn't come with dhclient installed

Are you sure?

sudo which dhclient

We can assign static address with the ip command but I'll need to know your network details first, which might be tricky to find.
