as I remember in debian need to install and enable backports, how I do it into Devaun

Same as with Debian but with a different repository:

https://www.devuan.org/os/packages ← see the "Add backports" section.

EDIT: the advice in that section is wrong though because the backports repository should be left enabled to ensure the backported packages are kept updated; this is particularly critical for the kernel metapackage.[1]

The backports repository's InRelease file has these lines:

NotAutomatic: yes
[snip]
ButAutomaticUpgrades: yes

^ Those confer a pin value of 100 and ensures that packages can only be installed explicitly (eg, apt install -t chimaera-backports) but also that they will be kept updated from backports once installed.

[1] I've also had this argument with the MX Linux developers. I am right.

#652 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » which tool for changing WLAN access » 2022-08-22 16:04:31

I really like grml-network, an ncurses front-end for /etc/network/interfaces & ifupdown:

http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/g/grml-network/

It needs grml-etc-core (which also provides their sublime zsh config, as seen on the Arch live ISO):

http://deb.grml.org/pool/main/g/grml-etc-core/

I've had it working on custom Debian live ISO images so it should be fine with Devuan. Probably.

I advise to use this option everytime.

Not installing Recommends will lead to reduced or just plain broken functionality for most users.

IMO configuring the bootloader so that the theme is consistent with the new display manager seems sensible, and even perhaps a really nice idea. Purists wouldn't dream of installing bloat like display managers anyway.

#657 Re: Other Issues » Problem with Firejail and Chromium » 2022-08-18 05:43:35

Chromium doesn't need firejail, their seccomp-bpf sandbox is better and you can't run two sandboxes at once.

To get firejail to work try

chromium --no-sandbox

But it will decrease security.

#659 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » T430/T530 Intel HD integrated graphics artifacts » 2022-08-17 16:50:48

I would try switching the compositor off. They can cause all sorts of weird issues.

Otherwise try the newer linux-image-amd64 package from the beowulf-backports repository.

Reference: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=263863

#662 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] 5.18 kernel installed, yet apt wants to install newest 5.10 » 2022-08-16 06:01:03

If you need the backported kernel for hardware support then you need to install the metapackage:

# apt install -t beowulf-backports linux-image-amd64

^ That will remove the current 5.10 kernel and set the default to 5.18. You should still have old versions of 5.10 & 5.18 to boot into just in case.

EDIT: but an autoremove operation will delete them so be sure the new one works before running that.

#663 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » T430/T530 Intel HD integrated graphics artifacts » 2022-08-15 15:35:13

Try

  Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"

But if GL rendering stimulates the problem the DDX driver is probably not involved. EDIT: no, wait, only Firefox v103 or newer will use hardware acceleration for that device.

Haswell CPUs need the intel-microcode package to avoid instability but I don't think that's relevant here.

#665 Re: DIY » SHED init independient/agnostic user services » 2022-08-11 10:23:00

Interesting project, thanks for sharing.

I've not tried it yet but glancing over the code I noticed the XDG_CONFIG_HOME reference in shed — not all distributions set that variable explicitly so it might be best to fallback to the recognised default if it is not set:

ServicesDir="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}"/shed/services

Reference: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg- … g-user-dir

And shellcheck.net noticed this in shedc:

Line 90:
  reload) killchilds "all"; printf 'reload\n' > "${GUISessionDir}/socket" ;;
                            ^-- SC2317 (info): Command appears to be unreachable. Check usage (or ignore if invoked indirectly).

I think it's because the killchilds() function has exit 0 at the end so the printf command won't be run afterwards. But I might be wrong.

just make sure it is the one that has grub installed to it.

For a UEFI system the installer does not ask for a target drive so "expert" mode must be used and the "force installation to removable loader location" GRUB option selected.

#667 Re: Installation » USB full installation possible? » 2022-07-31 19:07:50

At least USB3.0 is strongly recommended.

F2FS is probably the best filesystem and it should be supported by GRUB >v2.04, which includes chimaera's version.

EDIT: looks like F2FS needs the extra_attr flag enabled for it to work as /boot so it would probably have to be created before running the installer (replace $label with the actual desired label for the partition):

# mkfs.f2fs -l $label -O extra_attr,inode_checksum,sb_checksum /dev/sdXY

And did you know that Debian (and by extension Devuan) is a communist distribution?

They even have some useful documentation in the official repositories:

#670 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Chimaera Dual Boot with Existing Windows (GPT/EFI): No GRUB Menu » 2022-07-26 05:44:05

If /sys/firmware/efi/ does not exist then the system is not booted in UEFI mode and no new NVRAM boot entries can be made.

@OP: make sure "Legacy" mode (CSM) is disabled and UEFI is enabled in the firmware ("BIOS") options.

As a last resort Windows can chainload Devuan with this command (run as Administrator):

bcdedit /set "{bootmgr}" path "\EFI\debian\grubx64.efi"

Gender incongruence is now a recognised medical disorder:

The change is similar to the way the medical profession viewed homosexuals back in the dark ages compared to the more enlightened current opinions.

Those aren't genders, they're sexes. Learn the difference. And there are various intersex conditions btw so even there the choice is not binary.

Anyway thanks for taking my bait. Very satisfying :-)

You have been conned. The rich use techniques like this to ensure their wealth is not disturbed.

The enemy are the governments & corporations stealing wealth from workers. Wake up and lose your chains.
