This is bad publicity for Devuan. How did this happen? A weak password or something?

I found it 3 minutes before your post. smile

Ron, I just read this on SlashDot:

"I just looked at the source for the page. It's static HTML with the ASCII art defacement poster enclosed in [pre] tags. There isn't any code there with which one could conceivably conduct an attack."

Can you give me a link to that? All I found was this: https://idle.slashdot.org/story/19/03/3 … pher-urls#

EDIT
Never mind, I see the quote at the bottom of the page I linked.

So for those of us who visited the hacked site, do we need to be concerned about a compromised system/browser?

What happened at devuan.org? Has it been hacked?

Many of the old legacy plugins in are available in palemoon too.

Here's a link with probably thousands (yeah, thousands) of legacy (so-called) add-ons. I would guess that a high majority will work in Pale Moon.
Hope some will find this link useful.

Legacy Firefox extensions

I have been happily using Pale Moon for the last 6 or 7 years (started with it while on Windows), and have Basilisk as a backup. There are no other browsers out there (right now) for me, except maybe Waterfox if I had to.

#407 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Avidemux and h264enc » 2019-03-19 01:24:55

Ron

This is also off topic . . .

When I tried avidemux (it may have been twice, my memory isn't as good anymore) it was so buggy I got rid of it.

#408 Re: Installation » Installing devuan without pulseaudio. » 2019-02-02 21:04:17

Ron

Thanks for the info, MiyoLinux. So at risk of hijacking this thread, will future releases of Miyo-Openbox (or Awesome) continue to not include pulseaudio?

#409 Re: Installation » Installing devuan without pulseaudio. » 2019-02-02 15:45:38

Ron

Does Miyo have pulseaudio already removed? It's not installed on my system and I don't remember removing it.

Upload your screenshot to an image site (such as imgur) and put the link inside of

[img][/img]

tags. Your link should end in an image format, such as .jpg.

#414 Re: Other Issues » Update for libsystemd0 » 2019-01-14 22:37:06

Ron

Thanks for that link. I have read that in the past. I forgot it was a sticky. So I gather from the sticky that libsystemd0 does nothing. So in that case I guess it doesn't matter if I update it or not? Is that correct?

Is it okay to delete this file? (Sorry if this is a thick-headed question) smile

I just noticed there is an update for libsystemd0. Does Devuan use this app/file/whatever? Would it break the OS if I deleted it? Or should I just update it? Thanks.

Whenever YT-DL comes out with a new version, I just do:

sudo wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

then

sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

#417 Re: Other Issues » Troubles playing audio CD on SMPlayer » 2019-01-06 00:01:55

Thanks for all the help ralph.ronnquist. My "solution" of just using Parole to play CDs is mostly okay for me. Maybe one day I'll bite the bullet and learn scripting.

#418 Re: Other Issues » Troubles playing audio CD on SMPlayer » 2019-01-05 17:16:55

It says "dynamically linked." Here's the whole output:

/usr/bin/mpv: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=30938c116cf001493429a04bc7ae8241b20b56e9, stripped

I have to admit I don't have a clue what this is telling me.

#419 Re: Other Issues » Troubles playing audio CD on SMPlayer » 2019-01-05 01:23:33

Thanks ralph.ronnquist. That's an interesting link. I tried the same thing the guy in the link did, switching the engine from mpv to smplayer. I got a very similar error to his. I'm not versed at all in scrips or wrapper scrips. I'll have to research it when I find the time. One question though, how do I find out if mpv is a script already, as you state is a possibility?

Also, I pasted over your quote of José Jorge to my post in the SMPlayer forum. Hopefully they'll get this fixed.

I see a cdrom file in /dev. In properties, basic tab, it says "Link target: sr0." That sounds like what you wrote (I think). However, the file size says 0 bytes, is that normal?

Maybe a red herring, but error code 2 traditionally is EACCESS, which would mean that there is a permission problem for some file, or even that some intermediate directory is missing when the program attempts to access a file.

I notice at the bottom of the log file it says "No such file or directory." Does that point to a missing intermediate directory?

As a test, I installed Parole Media Player, and it plays CDs just fine. Does this give a clue as to what is SMPlayer's problem? I'd just use Parole for everything (because I hate having two apps that do the same thing), but when playing videos it puts a thin green line down the side of videos, just like Totem and Mint's Xplayer used to do for me.

EDIT
I just did a web search for "debug argument to start mpv with" and didn't find anything.

I posted this on SMPlayer forums but still waiting for a response there. I'm hoping anyone here who uses SMPlayer can help. When I try to play a CD (a prerecorded "album") I'm getting an "Exit code: 2" error. I'm on version: 16.11.0 (revision 8242), Devuan 2.0 (ASCII). Here's the log file. Thanks.

While I'm not the OP, I avoid PulseAudio because I don't like the philosophy of its author; that has nothing to do with tinfoil hats.

I don't know whether it was because of an update, or when I reinstalled my system, but now clicking and dragging on the desktop works like it always had.
