Have you made sure the kernel modules are available (like sch_cbq, sch_sfq and sch_ingress)? Or maybe it's a udev issue, and the modules need to be loaded manually?

#302 Re: Other Issues » Shaping script wondershaper seems FUBAR » 2024-06-09 04:51:04

ok
peculiar; the script worked fine for me on daedalus; it's the same package version and script.
Which kernel version? And what do you get from:

# tc qdisc show

#303 Re: Other Issues » Shaping script wondershaper seems FUBAR » 2024-06-08 23:39:17

Did you install it? It does depend on iproute2 (or iproute)

And then if this is ceres rather than daedalus anything (else) is possible smile

#304 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2024-06-07 22:55:03

Sounds good.

And maybe as a first thing, one or two people should involve themselves with the various Devuan discussion channels to set up and maintain a "The Todo List" area on the wiki.

#305 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » GPM and Synaptics touchpad features » 2024-06-07 22:00:41

@semil, whan I just now installed gpm and tried it on a console, it happily responded to tapping as clicking. It's missing out on other fancy stuff that I've set up on synclient for X11 but it handls single, double tripple taps well.

Have you verified that /etc/gpm.conf says device=/dev/input/mice (and type=exps2) ?

#306 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » merged /usr » 2024-06-07 08:09:13

Yes, that's what it says, isn't it?

The current installation does not have a merged-/usr layout.
This is unsupported and unpacking libc6 would break the system.
Refusing to unpack. Please install the usrmerge package and try again.

#307 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Still Waiting at the Altar -- Daedalus 5.01 Full Install » 2024-06-06 07:22:49

Note that each desktop environment, whether it is kde or xfce or lxqt, is a largish stack of packages that have been made to work together, and in some cases the different desktop environments have competing demands of packages. Basically as a concept, having multiple DE's installed is not like having a house with many rooms, but more like having a single-room house with several collections of furniture in it.

E.g. one fundamental competition with your DE collection is wether the display server is Xorg or Wayland (some require the one or the other, some kind of work with either) and there are numerous of conflicting demands stemming from that. And I believe slim if you've installed that requires Xorg whereas sddm might handle either Xorg or Wayland although might need configuration choice about which to use.

Afaik startx is a completely different program which is supposed to run an Xorg as display server, and then have the desired auto-started programs nominated in an .xinitrc (or something similar).

I think you would have an easier task if you go back and rather make a single choice than pile up multiple options without bothering about or knowing how they compete.

#308 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Suspend lockup lately » 2024-06-05 23:56:44

Yes quite possibly.

Check /prroc/acpi/wakeup for enabled wakeup sources.
The mapping from acpi names to devices may be difficult; this worked for me:

( grep enable /proc/acpi/wakeup | sed 's|.*0000:|-|' ; lspci ) | \
sort | grep -A1 '^-' | grep -v '^-'

It's possible to disable them; I'd need to google it.

#309 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Suspend lockup lately » 2024-06-05 10:02:24

Well, you'd want the forked packages.

I still think your issue is that the USB host (xhci_hcd) driver fails to suspend, which the log says, and it willl need explicit unloading beforehand. I.e. it's not related to which Xorg packages you have.

Maybe worth a try to install pm-utils and trial it with the pm-suspend command?

#310 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Migrating Rackspace Bookworm to Daedalus? » 2024-06-04 22:24:12

Tom, did your painstaking creation of /etc/network/interfaces configurations include a line like

auto ethX0 ethX1

which is what ifupdown requires in order to auto-configure those interfaces when started?

There is e.g. man 5 interfaces for some llight reading about this.

#311 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Still Waiting at the Altar -- Daedalus 5.01 Full Install » 2024-06-04 01:43:44

Usually one would install task-xfce-desktop and be happy with that. It would bring in that s.c. "standard" xfce desktop environment with all its bells and whistles. Though it appears you want something else.

If you want to do it with tasksel I think you need to reconfigure rather than install.

EDIT: no I was wrong about tasksel; you just run it as root.

#312 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Suspend lockup lately » 2024-06-03 09:55:23

hmm that's from pm-utils ... I guess I assumed you suspended via pm-suspend but apparently you suspend in some other way, so you may need to use its way of unloading modules.

#313 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Suspend lockup lately » 2024-06-03 07:13:08

try with

SUSPEND_MODULES=xhci_hcd

in /etc/pm/config.d/something

EDIT: That of course will stop wake-up via USB keyboard...

#315 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Suspend lockup lately » 2024-06-02 14:15:14

This looks like "the broken xhci_hcd problem" from 2015 is back... at the time it was solved by unloading the module before sleep and loading it back on resume.

You should then click "Mark SOLVED" to let the forum s/w automagically edit the initial title... or edit it by hand if you prefer.

#317 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] devuan netinstall iso auto selects installation media for partitioning » 2024-05-29 12:32:17

It appears that the documentation page you linked
https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation … all-devuan
skips a couple of dialoges:
1. between its 9 and 10 is a dialogue to select which disk to work with, and
2. between its 10 and 11 is a dialog that presents an overview of all disk layouts.

If the #11 dialog in your case includes sdb, you need to choose the "No" option to go back to the partitioner and undo any partitioning of sdb that you have chosen.

#318 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] devuan netinstall iso auto selects installation media for partitioning » 2024-05-29 04:20:42

Fair enough. afaik it's the very same software, but obviously there's something different.

#319 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] devuan netinstall iso auto selects installation media for partitioning » 2024-05-28 23:57:19

I would say that technically the story is that the partitioning software shows all avaiable drives of the system, and it's the person installing that decides and selects which drives to partition and how to use them for installation.

However, it's the software is the debian package partman. If you feel strongly about it you should lodge a bug report about the package to bugs.debian.org.

#320 Re: Other Issues » desktop dress-up » 2024-05-27 13:41:59

If you install imagemagick-6.q16 you get convert and display, and then you can amuse yourself with commands like:

$ convert \

#321 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Unable to install in qemu-based VM on a headless server » 2024-05-24 08:53:01

You may try with a TAB and then add console=ttyS0,115200 to the boot parameters somewhere early, and then you also need to tell qemu to offer the serial on the console perhaps multiplexed with the qemu monitor by adding -serial mon:stdio to its arguments. That will do well until the first reboot where you also need to have configured the bootup init system to offer serial login.

#322 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] No exit from sleep after devuan installation » 2024-05-22 22:06:44

@tyrlak, make sure your xserver-xorg-core and xserver-common packages are version 2:21.1.7-3+deb12u5devuan1 from devuan-security.

#323 Re: Installation » Install from Ventoy » 2024-05-20 10:43:35

Which issue?

Clearly mount doesn't find any partition with label DEVUAN501 so the preamble moves on to the Ventoy patch in order to loopback the ISO image if it finds that, which it does. The loopback device is next presented to the installer which then is quite happy using that.

#324 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] crontab has no effect » 2024-05-18 12:29:22

First cabs off the rank would be:
1. Is this a PATH problem? (Non-root user typically lacks /sbin and /usr/sbin in PATH)
2. Or a problem due to that /bin/sh is dash rather than bash ?

#325 Re: DIY » skippy-xd_0.7.2-1_amd64.deb is available to downlod » 2024-05-16 23:50:12

Sounds good. (though I wouldn't keep my software at a microsoft site)

Perhaps check out https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/ and get your package into the debian collection...
