the security module could be apparmor, selinux, ...

ref. https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/LSM/index.html

"Examples include SELinux, Smack, Tomoyo, and AppArmor."

so, security= , requires none.

Hi I too miss these tools, GNU/Linux is getting too much like another OS... seems we'll require a savvy tech to change a bash script, because they have slowly taken away all the tools that make GNU/Linux GNU/Linux!

Where is the virtual console shift, alt f1 f6.
What if I want to run shutdown -h now, or killall, or process stop start, or tail -f /var/log/messages, or zcat a man file, or ifup in root and startx in user; etc etc etc etc etc etc.
...
...
P.s., alas, back in the day we used to have shift fn pgup pgdn in console!!

or have networking, and all the hardware operating GUI or not!

...slowly they erode what freedom you/I/we thought we/you/I had.

How can I get these tools (vt, scrolling, wifi and basic networking) back?

Apparmor may offer sand-boxing for programs but it has cost me performance.

Slow boot times, slow shutdowns, and very slow program launches.

Hi, I add this to grub, similar to HoaS advice above... if apparmor has been setup before...

security=none apparmor=0

All the best.

Is it in the list if you type

Glenn do have a config exsample to blacklist hdmi?

Yes I do. I'll put it here but be warned there are many modules that rely/depend on hdmi.

I stopped using the blacklist when I was trying to get BT sound reliably configured.

here is a copy...

/home/glenn/My_system/backup-sys-default/etc/blacklist.conf

# blacklisted modules for PCI coldplug
# see also /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-compat
blacklist edac_mce_amd
blacklist edac
## Best not to blacklist modules that depend on eachother

blacklist rivatv
blacklist bluetooth
# For some bridges both intel-agp and i82875p_edac are loaded. If i82875p_edac

# Therefore we disable automatic loading of 82875p_edac. (Bug 213840)
# https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=213840
blacklist i82875p_edac

# do not use "Boot Protocol" drivers, we prefer usbhid
# and they cause problems when loaded together with usbhid (#37726, #40861)
blacklist usbkbd
blacklist usbmouse

# disable PC speaker by default
# pcspkr is the standard driver, while snd-pcsp is the ALSA driver
blacklist pcspkr
blacklist snd-pcsp
blacklist nouveau
blacklist nv

# Prevent conflicts with nvidiabl
blacklist nvidia_bl
blacklist nvbacklight
blacklist mbp_nvidia_bl
# End of entries added for nvidiabl

...in it's totallity... I think that file maybe a leftover from another distro.

I did this instead so the snd-hda* dependants satisfied
/home/glenn/My_system/backup-sys-default/etc/modprobe.d/snd-options

options snd-usb-audio index=0 bdl_pos_adj=16,16

#defaults.pcm.card 1 #usb-audio
#defaults.ctl.card 1 #usb-audio
# Generic_1

I don't have it blacklisted anymore.

current /etc/modules

zfsutils-linux maybe in backports... for chimaera.

You may add backports the same way you added contrib, as mentioned above.

I can redirect > the output to a file and then use the file.

CTRL+C ENTER will stop the pink noise when the buffer is empty (takes a couple of secs).

#419 Re: Documentation » Help - list all services » 2022-09-20 05:15:46

I have open-rc and so we can use,

rc-update

to view status.

you can add, del or change a service and start level.

rc-update del nethack-common default
rc-update add nethack-common off

I have seen that the old service commands mostly still work, I don't use many of them, and only know a few.

status gives +-? results

service --status-all

type "service" to see the command options.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for this solution. when I paste a command into a shell I also expect it to execute.

I'd also like to go ALSA-only, but ALSA configuration is quite confusing.

I think the best I could do is get applications like Firefox to have working sound, but Steam and others did not (even with apulse).

My experience has been very similar, sadly. Before I had a computer my entertainment system had an outboard mixer... Plug anything in and go.

hello,

i tried this tonight ,

but don't know if this solution is still viable for devuan in2022.

atleast one this laptop here i get the following error

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 winehq-devel : Depends: wine-devel (= 7.17~buster-1)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

this happens on devuan beowulf for all 3 options (stable, developemnet or staging).

dont know if this applies to devuan beowulf in general, as i have upgraded from jessie probably up to beowulf, and in the process maybe used once or twice also the "deb-multimedia" repository.

Hi Kapqa, you may need to remove any packages from "deb-multimedia" repository. Fix the install and then if you really have too, re-install the multimedia packages.

#424 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] any chances to install nvidia-legacy-340xx on Devuan chimaera? » 2022-09-12 23:22:04

They are available... Usually I find them by searching the Version number (using synaptic package manager)

Header files for Linux 5.19.0-1-amd64
Common header files for Linux 5.19.0-1

They may not be backports, I have them installed.

#425 Re: Installation » name of log for error/warning messages seen during boot » 2022-09-06 23:22:24

Hi, These can be revealing sometimes... You may need to be root to access these files.

search dmesg for errors,

dmesg | grep -i "erro\|fail\|warn"

search xorg for errors,

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(WW)\|(EE)\|(??)"

I hope this helps you.
