#428 Re: Documentation » Help - list all services » 2022-09-20 05:15:46
I have open-rc and so we can use,
rc-updateto view status.
you can add, del or change a service and start level.
rc-update del nethack-common default
rc-update add nethack-common offI 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-alltype "service" to see the command options.
Hope this helps.

#430 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » amixer-gtk » 2022-09-19 00:49:26
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.
#433 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] any chances to install nvidia-legacy-340xx on Devuan chimaera? » 2022-09-12 23:22:04

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

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "(WW)\|(EE)\|(??)"I hope this helps you.

#436 Re: Documentation » [HowTo] Install VirtualBox 6.1.36 on DEVUAN 5 » 2022-08-31 22:52:51
I used to use vBox, I thought it was really good. Generally I used to use it for one game "DiD's F22".
Once that game was irreversibly tanked remotely, I gave up on vBox.
But I remember struggling to get vBox configured and eventaually having a system that was reliable and flexible.
I was still using Mandriva in those days.

#437 Re: Other Issues » move Devuan to a bigger partition » 2022-08-30 03:44:56
For the /home directory, I would use rsync -avh to copy files back to the new home.
But the system dir is another thing. when you format or change a drive size it will get a new UUID, you'll need that for fstab and possibly grub.
blkid and lsblk helps.

They don't ship to Australia.
I can send the bill to Aust, but not the product.
I sent an email alerting them of the ommission, and they suggested I use the .com.au site, <edit> https://www.spreadshirt.com.au/shop/clothing/t-shirts/ </edit> ... but I can't find the product (coffee cup, t'shirt) on that site.
Looks like they don't want to sell stuff.

a readme.txt from https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla. … README.txt
Please use download.mozilla.org to retrieve the latest Firefox beta.
For example, if you wish to download the US English installer for Windows (32bit)
the url is
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-beta-latest&os=win&lang=en-US
This could be pasted into the location bar of a browser, or used with curl or wget, e.g.
wget -O FirefoxSetup.exe "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-beta-latest&os=win&lang=en-US"
...see the doc for a listing of the commandline options...
you may see the versions here... https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla. … /releases/
#444 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] install either Firefox Beta or Nightly » 2022-08-07 22:49:47
I see it's not nightly, or Beta but, whenever a dot release is released I get a new version to download.

#447 Re: Installation » devuan_daedalus_5.0.preview-20220704_amd64_pool1.iso » 2022-07-28 23:15:34
Hi, I installed devuan_daedalus_5.0.preview-20220725_amd64_desktop.iso to a spare HDD yesterday. (edit iso name)
It was interesting to see the desktops of Gnome (I have seen it Gnome on Ubuntu Uni PC's) since 2009/10)
I like the gtk3 Login manager, maybe because It's different, refreshing change.
I installed lxde, lxqt, Gnome, KDE and Mate.
The Devs have done a great job on this. Thank you.
My biggest surprise was how slow HDD's are in comparison with SSD's.
I did a simple install setup, just one partition for /. There is a swap file as well.
I'm tempted to upgrade Dev4 to Dev5... maybe.

if you have a connection to the internet you may try Sheildsup (press "Proceed") "All Service Ports" https://www.grc.com/shieldsup
it will "Determine the status of your system's first 1056 ports".
Quick and easy.

Btw, do NOT use dd to backup your disk to an existing backup drive. Unless you don't care about the data that's already on it :-\What I meant is something like
dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/backup/sda-backup.ddwith the USB disk mounted at /media/backup. So my dd backup would just be a ~30 GB file on that disk (among other back-uped things).
Thanks for the get/set selection examples!
Gregor
Just backup what you need... separately. Because you may end up in a loop when dd gets up to /media and starts backing itself up.
dd is a good copy-disk, but rsync can do directories and to make it a bit easier (faster/smaller) use rsync instead of dd.
rsync -avh /usr/local /media/backup/sda-backup/usr/
rsync -avh /home /media/backup/sda-backup/my two cents worth. :-) All the best!
