The inxi report shows the new kernel running, like I wrote in the original post. Did something really go wrong?

So I updated my system via Synaptic, and after applying the changes this error message popped up. Is it anything to worry about? I rebooted the computer and it booted just fine, and is using the newest kernel.

That seems to have fixed it. Thanks hevidevi.

I'm going to wait a day or two before marking it as solved.

Okay, here is some new info. I don't think my portable drive is dead after all. I was backing up my files last night to my wife's portable drive that was working when I remembered I wanted the drive to be formatted as ext4, just like my portable drive was. So this morning I did that, and lo and behold, the drive was no longer writable. So then I formatted it again, back to ntfs, and then it was writable again. How can I make these drives writable as ext4? I did this with ascii no problem (at least on my portable drive). Why isn't it working with Miyo/Devuan 5?

#282 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Problems with a Seagate portable drive » 2021-11-19 01:02:42

Ron

So I deleted the partition, created a new one, and then formatted it. Still can't write to it. Tomorrow I'm taking a hammer to it, so if it isn't dead yet, it sure will be tomorrow.

Also, after a semi-long search I found my wife's portable drive. It is one year younger, and much less used than mine (also a WD brand). I can read and write to that one, so I'm pretty sure mine is dead.

Thanks for your help HoaS (and also Altoid).

I'll try reformatting it later when I have some free time and see what happens.

Here's the output:

ron@ron:~$ sudo -i
[sudo] password for ron: 
root@ron:~# mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
mount: /mnt: WARNING: source write-protected, mounted read-only.
root@ron:~# touch /mnt/test
touch: cannot touch '/mnt/test': Read-only file system

Apparently when it is first plugged in, it appears to be read and write, but when I try to do something, it switches to read only. Two examples:

1) After plugging it in, if I right click in it (after browsing to it), the Create Folder and Create File options are not greyed out. But when I click either one of them, I get an error message that says it is read only and after that those two options are greyed out.

2) After plugging it in, if I open a simple text file on it (with Pluma), the file appears to be editable, but once I make the first change, it becomes read only (I notice this in the title bar of Pluma).

After doing one of the above two, I get the following from the sudo hdparm -r /dev/sdc command (which is weird because I can still see it and open files on it):

$ sudo hdparm -r /dev/sdc
[sudo] password for ron: 
/dev/sdc: No such file or directory

Does this suggest the drive is going bad?

#285 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Problems with a Seagate portable drive » 2021-11-18 01:26:27

Ron
ron@ron:~$ sudo hdparm -r /dev/sdc

/dev/sdc:
 readonly      =  0 (off)

So how do I go about getting it to be read and write?

I feel really dumb saying this, but regarding your second instruction, I don't know what you mean by "the letter assigned to the drive."

Okay, this is a noobish question. I just installed Miyo Linux and I'm having problems with a Seagate portable drive. I can plug it in but it's read only. It has worked before I installed Miyo, so I'm thinking it is a permission problem, although the drive is old and it's possible it's failing. FTR, I can write to my flash drive. How to check the permission? When I right click the drive's icon and select properties, then select the permissions tab, it says there "The permissions of "Seagate Backup" could not be determined."

Thanks for your quick response MiyoLinux. I also noticed a bunch of apps that begin with libxfce..... and I'm hesitant to delete those. Should I not touch those?

Running Miyo ceres. I installed Mate and deleted Openbox. Can I delete the Xfce power manager without any consequences? I ask because in my notes for the old version of Miyo it says don't deleted it (I'm assuming that instruction came from MiyoLinux but it's been so long ago I can't remember). However, I know it's not running and the Mate manager is.

Okay, so I installed it and so far things are well. Actually, they're better. A week ago I installed the current Devuan, and I was getting horrible screen tearing in my browser. On this Miyo (ceres) I'm not.  👍  Any idea what is the difference?

Thanks guys.There was indeed a refresh button (although it was next to something else besides "DVD+RW".)

First, I hope this is the proper board to post this. I did a quick internet search for this problem but came up empty. I just installed Xfburn and am trying to burn an .iso image, but I keep getting the error message below. I have no idea how to fix this.

The 2020 versions of Miyo Rolling (based on Devuan Ceres) don't use it.

So is this the Ceres which became Devuan 4?

Hi Miyo, are there any versions of Miyo that don't use pulseaudio? Thanks.

I'm trying to add the ppa for inxi sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unit193/inxi but I keep getting this:

Ron@Ron:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unit193/inxi
[sudo] password for Ron: 
sudo: add-apt-repository: command not found

It worked on ascii; don't know why it's not working on 4.0.

The other issue is that when I open a sound app (Audacity, SMPlayer, start up sound) I'm getting an annoying POP sound. It just pops when you open the app. After that it's okay. Any ideas on this?

[I'm still having the screen tearing issue mentioned in my other post.]

So I deleted compton and kept picom. I created picom.conf and put it in the .config folder. This is what I put (and only this):

#backend = "xrender";
backend = "glx";

but I sill am experiencing terrible screen tearing. Should I enable or unenable hardware acceleration in the browser? Is there anything else to try?

EDIT
Hardware acceleration was off, so I switched it on. Screen tearing is still bad.

Thanks HoaS, I got the .deb file installation working. But I'm still scratching my head over the other issue. I found the sample config file, but it is not matching the instructions I have. My instructions are to find the lines

backend = "xrender";
#backend = "glx";

and change them to

#backend = "xrender";
backend = "glx";

But I can only find this:

# Other
backend = "xrender";
mark-wmwin-focused = true;
mark-ovredir-focused = true;
# use-ewmh-active-win = true;
detect-rounded-corners = true;
detect-client-opacity = true;
refresh-rate = 0;
vsync = "none";
dbe = false;
paint-on-overlay = true;
# sw-opti = true;
# unredir-if-possible = true;
# unredir-if-possible-delay = 5000;
# unredir-if-possible-exclude = [ ];
focus-exclude = [ "class_g = 'Cairo-clock'" ];
detect-transient = true;
detect-client-leader = true;
invert-color-include = [ ];
# resize-damage = 1;
 
# GLX backend
# glx-no-stencil = true;
glx-copy-from-front = false;
# glx-use-copysubbuffermesa = true;
# glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;
glx-swap-method = "undefined";
# glx-use-gpushader4 = true;
# xrender-sync = true;
# xrender-sync-fence = true;

Regarding what hevidevi wrote, is that the case? I still have picom installed. Should I delete one or the other? The whole reason for this is that I have big time screen tearing in my browser.

I just installed Devuan 4.0 over top of 2.1 and am having a few issues. The first issue is that when I click on .deb files to install apps, instead of installing they open with the archiver. I know these are .deb files that are supposed to install the app.

The second issue is I installed Compton because of screen tearing in the browser. The instructions I was given said after installing it to go to /home/**/.config and open compton.conf and edit some lines. The problem is this file doesn't exit. I double checked and made sure Compton is installed and was added to the list of start up apps, but no config file for it exists.
