#376 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Kernel 6.1.0-15 causes network-manager to hang when shutting down » 2023-12-14 16:05:09
What prevents you from having several kernels installed and choosing the one you need when loading the OS?
Nothing but: lately the update routine behind linux-image-amd64 just keeps max 3 kernels. On my Daedalus PC I have the 6.1.0-13, and 6.4 and two 6.5 kernels from backports. And my linux-image-amd64 is from backports so my kernel updates all come from there now. The 6.1 kernel history has been deleted by suggested apt autoremove actions.
And all of this without grub customizer (which caused me a lot of grief, so I think this tool cannot be recommended).
What prevents you from selecting the desired kernel version from the repository in Synaptic, for example?
Nothing except the standard solution is to let the meta-package linux-image-amd64 take care for updates. At least I am doing so.
You always are able to install kernels that are listed in the repository. I personally have no idea how that looks like.
#377 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Kernel 6.1.0-15 causes network-manager to hang when shutting down » 2023-12-14 14:26:33
The repository has a program grub-customizer, this is a GUI editor for the configuration file and a bootloader installer.
The 6.510 kernel has been installed on the laptop for a week now, and it works without problems.
What up with you today? grub-customizer is off-topic and we are talking about kernel 6.1.0-15.
That new kernel may run fine on many computers, but if you listen into the Debian forums you will find several issues with this kernel and network problem, mostly WiFi, but not only.
#378 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Kernel 6.1.0-15 causes network-manager to hang when shutting down » 2023-12-14 13:22:37
The kernel comes down from Debian. So a bug report into Debian would make sense. Though if I read the messages right the problem really is at kernel.org.
Looks like your issues add to the network problems seen by others with the -15 kernel.

Just stumbled across: there seems to be a task for laptop-SW.
Run:
# taskseland tick the laptop stuff.
#380 Re: Off-topic » I'm Back » 2023-12-13 11:55:21
Well, on my Daedalus fdisk still is present as a Devuan forked version. Maybe your version still was the Debian based one? You should be able to re-install fdisk.
I am using grub with luks and LVM, works fine for me for many years by now.

By chance, are you running kernel 6.1.0-15? Then try 6.1.0-13.
#382 Re: News & Announcements » [SOLVED] Bug in kernel 6.1.64-1 » 2023-12-10 19:26:24
Looks like 6.1.0-15 is available by now.

As the message says: package is broken. There seems to be an issue with the ext4 file system.

You will have to wait for the fix ...
#384 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] The firmware-iwlwifi not upgradable in excalibur/testing. » 2023-12-10 11:33:24
Looks like that was a typical temporary hickup of the testing repo and its mirrors.
Glad that its solved now.
#385 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] The firmware-iwlwifi not upgradable in excalibur/testing. » 2023-12-10 10:14:31
Just tested on my Excalibur VM against deb.devuan.org:
# apt list firmware-iwlwifi
Auflistung… Fertig

Maybe the mirror isn't up to date? Perhaps you try deb.devuan.org/merged instead?

#388 Re: Installation » Will the netinstall (daedalus) install nonfree wifi drivers for me? » 2023-12-08 11:29:16
Well, the netinstall is meant for computers which have a working (wired) network connection to download everything that is not on this small media. So if the wifi requires drivers most likely they are not included. You either need to use the CD or DVD version, or identify the chip used.
Please run and poste output here. inxi could be an alternative.
# lspci | grep network
# lsusb | grep network
# inxi -Fz#389 Re: Installation » Live cd unable to boot with secure boot enabled » 2023-12-07 18:50:37
Too bad, I thought it might work. I do disable Secure Boot on every computer I take my hands on.

Try the netinstall ...

I have no experience with machines with two graphics engines like your laptop. Can you switch to the AMD card in the bios by chance?
No missing firmware messages during the update-initramfs any more?
Have you got firmware-misc-nonfree installed?
# apt list firmware-misc-nonfree#392 Re: Devuan » error: Detected X Server version 'XServer 1.21.1.7_64a' is not suppor » 2023-12-05 15:25:44
Oh, copy & paste problem, sorry for that. When having a very close look to my command I saw that for some reason the first "–" before the "u" is a long hyphen instead of a normal dash "-". Some damn auto-correction mechanism ...
Just replace the long hyphen by a dash. Then it should work.
#393 Re: Devuan » error: Detected X Server version 'XServer 1.21.1.7_64a' is not suppor » 2023-12-05 14:51:12
I would say forget about the old fglrx driver. Its outdated, no more maintained and won't work with current kernels and xorg versions.
Which release are we talking about? Daedalus? Based on the kernel that should be correct. Which graphics card is involved?
Make sure that you have non-free and non-free-firmware enabled in your sources.list. Then:
# apt update
# apt install firmware-amd-graphics xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu
# update-initramfs -u -k all#394 Re: Installation » Desktop DVD? » 2023-12-02 11:18:40
Use the Download link on the top of this page. Select devuan_daedalus. Then select installer_iso.
There you got the choice. The 4G one is the Desktop DVD.

No idea about Gnome, I am a Cinnamon user. Can't stand Gnome.
Well, if you don't want to listen to other users advise, you could use the forum's search function. Here is a thread that might help you: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5407 that bring some other mixers into the game ...
#396 Re: Devuan » Virtualbox 7.0... » 2023-11-29 17:34:25
Have a look at geany
#397 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » No sound on Gnome (Daedalus) » 2023-11-29 14:45:32
Thats normal. Without a mixer the dialogue in the control center is incomplete.
#398 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » No sound on Gnome (Daedalus) » 2023-11-29 14:23:10
Your problem is that Gnome like other DEs does not supply a mixer on its own.
pavucontrol, alsamixer-gui are valid options to solve the issue.
#399 Re: DIY » So i'm doing a netinstall and have a couple questions » 2023-11-27 20:18:39
RE: netinstall and upgrades, I was assuming the kernel and infrastructure that would be initially installed was whatever was on the netinstall iso? And since there's been a kernel upgrade since I first downloaded and installed Daedalus I thought that might be the case with the netinstall as well.
So basically the netinstall is just the vehicle, and all the files you will install on the machine will come not from it but directly from the repo?
All depends on how you install.
If you do an offline install or deny using a mirror, you can just install whats on the iso, and the versions that are available when the iso was being built.
When you have a network connection and you have selected a mirror, you can install everything thats in the repo, and you are getting an update of the files installed from the iso free of charge.
#400 Re: Freedom Hacks » Anyone know how to make a usb mouse work? » 2023-11-21 16:37:01
I own a small wireless mouse by Trust, item no. 20322-09. It runs on 2 AAA cells. The Bluetooth? dongle is stored inside the mouse when its not used. This mouse has an on/off switch.
I am mainly using it on my laptop. It worked out of the box with Chimaera and Daedalus, in both cases LightDM/Cinnamon as DE. No special action required. I can start the laptop, and plug in the mouse when I am logged in. It works.
