#326 Re: Installation » Synaptic suddenly won't start on Chimeara » 2023-07-05 22:01:15
At first I thought it may be caused by the gtk package(s) but it maybe a permission test.

#328 Re: Installation » Synaptic suddenly won't start on Chimeara » 2023-07-04 19:06:38
Hi, I was getting the same error for a few days on Daedalus.
I think it lasted a week, but eventually began to work again.
I have no solution.

Great!
I'd call that a "Freedom Hack", because you have restored your freedom to use doas.
Thank you for sharing.
#330 Re: Other Issues » gets stuck on shutdown or restart, have to manually force shutdown » 2023-06-27 19:07:11
Hi, my system is no longer using the login/out screens as well.
I find shutdown by staying logged-in, and away from those screens...
open a terminal/console and type with sudo or as root...
shutdown -h now # -h=halt (-r = reboot)
If I do it this way I only have to do it once. (I don't have sudo)

#332 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » So what's the right way to install Steam and GOG in 2023? » 2023-06-24 03:54:36
Hi, I have steam running ok.
I think it still needs 32bit libraries.
Enable multiarch:
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get updatethen install steam with...
apt install steamthat'll get you started.
#333 Re: Installation » Updating from ASCII » 2023-06-22 05:42:04
you could edit your /etc/apt/sources.list
but it's a long way, reboots and dependency hell could arrise.
get a new source here and write it to a flash drive with dd
https://files.devuan.org/devuan_chimaer … esktop.iso
there are updates available for it after you've booted a couple of times.
It'll be much cleaner system as well, because many of the structural programs and libraries have evolved.

PS.What does non-free-firmware add? Anything described in these proposals?
There used to be a repo for non free firmware, now it's within the 'framework', not separate.
#335 Re: Devuan Derivatives » refracta Daedalus 32 bit: installations problem :-( » 2023-06-22 05:24:08
Hi, look up 'dual boot', if you have created enough free space on the windows drive,
the installer program will allow you to set up and install Daedalus.
I haven't dual booted in quite some time... drop in anyone with a newer truth.
The installer should leave you able to select which OS to start, your choice... with a time out so it will eventually boot the default.
If you are concerned about your setting on the stick, you may be able to duplicate it later.
#336 Re: Installation » post install: cdrom error - .iso image as a primary apt source » 2023-06-21 22:22:03
This is working for me as well. Saves a little bandwidth and time, And is an offline resource. Thank you to all the contributors. :-)
Just one thing, I get errors from apt-key... Which I have not seen before this week... says it's (apt-key) depreciated and superseded by another device/app.
Anyhow, it seems to work.
Hope the below looks much less a mess:
deb [trusted=yes] file:/mnt/dvn-dvd-only/ chimaera contrib main non-free deb [trusted=yes] file:/mnt/dvn-pool1-only/ chimaera main deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera main contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera main contrib non-free deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera-updates main contrib non-free deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera-security main contrib non-free deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ chimaera-security main contrib non-freeNo apt pinning was required from my POV as this order automagically prefers file: type sources even though all of the sources above are considered as 500 priority (apt-cache policy to verify). Of course I mounted as CD-ROMs both iso files to make this setting work permanently so I dropped them in my users-disk-space, made two additional directories (under /mnt) and added to /etc/fstab:
/home/myusername/apt/devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_desktop.iso /mnt/dvn-dvd-only udf,iso9660 loop 0 0 /home/myusername/apt/devuan_chimaera_4.1_0_amd64_pool1.iso /mnt/dvn-pool1-only udf,iso9660 loop 0 0and installed devuan-keyring.

Got my workstation and a laptop running Daedalus for several months now productive at home. No major issues, just smaller topics.
I'm the same, both Laptop and Desktop running Daedalus. :-) thankyou
#338 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » libssl1.0-dev ? » 2023-06-02 21:25:28
Hi, I wonder if you can just unpack the .deb, same as a compressed archive.
there is 2 folders, data and control.
I often unpack them using the GUI and a file manager like Dolphin (kde5)
Currently I have libssl.1 libssl3 and libssl and openssl(3) At this point I do not have the -dev packag installed, so your mileage may vary.
I hope this helps, but I'm not sure about all you need for encryption...
#339 Re: Devuan » /bin vs /usr/bin » 2023-06-01 19:34:40
the /opt dir still has it's uses.
Backwards compat. is still happening. I remember being asked at install, do i want to merge the dir, /bin & /usr/bin...
I just say yes, what would I know... still works.
#340 Re: Other Issues » wget download articles linked to from a page » 2023-05-30 19:34:55
Hi, I used to download electronics pages with httrack, a webpage/site downloader. The package is in the devuan repos for Daedalus.
With the page on your computer you may move the docs you want and then clean up the left-overs to the rubbish bin.
I hope this helps you.
#341 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Can't figure out how to play DVDs » 2023-05-22 02:18:07
SMPlayer is a front-end for MPlayer and mpv, so look for those plugins if required.
make sure you have permission to use the device by being in the same group ... 'games' group, for xample.
I only use cd s in my laptop.
I hope that helps

#345 Re: DIY » [SOLVED] Anyone know how to use privoxy? » 2023-05-07 04:25:48
Hi, I just got it working with a socks proxy as well.
In browsers...
privoxy
127.0.0.1:8118
socks5
127.0.0.1:1080 udp
ssh -f -N -D 127.0.0.1:1080 localhost
just trying to mind my own business.
there's probably port forward lines in /etc/sysctl.conf to be set as well... there is for squid_proxy setups.
#346 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Fujitsu Lifebook U728 + Devuan 4 » 2023-05-07 04:20:37
X configures automagically on my box. I think you need those other packages from your install scripts.
Do you get an error when you use "su -"? The newer versions reject it "su -" with a terse message.
I have sudo installed, but I'm one of those who prefers to su when required, I have it turned off in services
I use rc-update to see and edit the services & daemon list (open-rc init).
If you can login then you can su to a substitute user.
#347 Re: Devuan » Non-free firmware in Devuan Daedalus? » 2023-05-01 22:25:44
Thank you for the reply. When I installed Devuan via the netinstaller in the past, I had to load the iwlwifi firmware packages from a USB stick.
.. you might still need to us a usb stick for the modules... if your network chips are new enough.
So, I'd say we haven't seen the end of "insert disk" to proceed.
:-)

#349 Re: Installation » Installation problem or GRUB problem? » 2023-04-25 22:18:11
Hi, if you are using "su" to get root... try "su -" ... some M$CE thinks it's better to change stuff, imho.
..and check the release notes for other upgrades.
#350 Re: Devuan » When is the new Devuan release? » 2023-04-24 03:57:08
Good question. I'll be looking out as well, but not till september-november 2023.
Daedalus (5) has the latest kernels.. works good here.
