#51 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Update » 2024-08-16 16:20:22

The first thing to try when an update fails is host deb.devuan.org
Then ping deb.devuan.org to see if you get a response.
Then try going to http://deb.devuan.org in a browser, to see if http connctions to it work.

You may find you can only connect to some of the round robin addresses. If so temporarily putting one of the ones that works into your sources.list should get you going (preferably one that's near to you).

To check what driver is being used for your nvidia card:

chris@rigel:~/bin$ lspci | grep -i nvidia
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] (rev a1)
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GF104 High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)

Check the video card as follows (updating the address if necessary).

chris@rigel:~/bin$ lspci -v -s 01:00.0
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF104 [GeForce GTX 460] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
	Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd GF104 [GeForce GTX 460]
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 34
	Memory at f4000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M]
	Memory at e8000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
	Memory at e4000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
	I/O ports at ac00 [size=128]
	[virtual] Expansion ROM at 000c0000 [disabled] [size=128K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: nvidia
	Kernel modules: nvidia

The last two lines should say nouveau if that's being used (I'm using the nvidia driver so I can run CUDA apps on the card).

#53 Re: Other Issues » NetworkManager and drive access fail » 2024-07-31 16:23:58

Check what groups you are in (running id or groups will tell you). That's always worth checking when you get told you are not authorized to do something.

If you find you need to be in one or more groups then usermod -a -G group1,group2 $USER should do the job (see man usermod for details).

If /etc/group seems damaged then sudo grpck would be a good idea. But I hope you don't need to do that (or sudo pwck to check /etc/passwd etc).

#54 Re: Freedom Hacks » Resampling and the Gibbs phenomenon with Audacity » 2024-07-21 16:16:36

Could some moderator please move this thread to Off-topic ? It has nothing to do with Devuan.

#55 Re: Freedom Hacks » A scientific test for resamplers. » 2024-07-13 16:18:13

The real test is if you can tell which system is which in a blind test. If you have two systems, one cheap and one top quality, set up with a switch to control which one feeds the speakers, can you tell which switch setting is which system?

To be really thorough try it several times, with a friend changing which one is which. And a few control runs where both switch settings get the same system.

#56 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Firefox broken? » 2024-06-29 16:17:32

What country are you in? There was problem affecting several banking sites in the UK yesterday. So it might not be firefox (although it probably is if it affected other sites as well).

#57 Re: Freedom Hacks » the right procedure ? » 2024-06-12 16:06:40

From the description those look like malware aimed at Windows systems that your browser cached. So probably not a threat to a Linux system.

Put CVE_2012_1461 into your favourite search engine for more details. Or the full name of the vulnerabilities.

You could also look at what's in /home/usre2/.cache/mozilla/firefox/r6a038wc.default-esr/cache2/entries/ (how big are the files, what does file say they are, etc).

#58 Re: Other Issues » Shaping script wondershaper seems FUBAR » 2024-06-09 16:03:51

Running shellcheck against wondershaper would be a reasonable start if it's a shell script.

Then try adding set -x as the second line and see if that tells you what it's trying to do when it fails.

But I'm only guessing because I don't have wondershaper installed.

#59 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Still Waiting at the Altar -- Daedalus 5.01 Full Install » 2024-06-09 15:51:42

Try less /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the command line (PageUp and PageDown to scroll, h for help, q to quit). It should work either as a normal user or root. That should let you see the logs.

#60 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » merged /usr » 2024-06-07 16:09:13

Re post 89 by soren (at 09:32:57) my first response would be:
ls -li /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsystemd.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsystemd.so.0
and see if one was a symlink to the other or if they are hard links (same inode numbers). If different files but the same size I'd then try diff /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsystemd.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsystemd.so.0 to see if one is a copy of the other.

If they are the same inode numbers I'd check if /lib and /usr/lib are symlinks (ls -lid /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ then ls -lid /lib/ /usr/lib/). That would give me a better idea what state things are in.

#61 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Chimaera to Daedalus upgrade broke WINE » 2024-05-26 16:13:43

I should have written ls -lR /home/groucho/.wine where the R is to list subdirectories recursively. That would show what is in all the subdirectories.

In your case I'd also look at what is in wrapper.cfg (start with file wrapper.cfg, then cat it if text or use od if binary. But that's because I'm curious.

#62 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Chimaera to Daedalus upgrade broke WINE » 2024-05-25 16:29:31

It's probably a bit late now, but did you save a copy of /home/groucho/.wine from before you restored it from the snapshot? Or just output from ls -lr /home/groucho/.wine ? Comparing permissions from then and now might show what was wrong.

If anyone else hits this issue that would be worth trying.

#63 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] OpenCL/AMDGPU-PRO? » 2024-05-09 15:55:37

Saying what model(s) of GPU you need to run it on would be a good start. As would what CPU(s), motherboard(s) etc you have. You havn't even told us if you have a desktop or a laptop.

#64 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » fsck "FEATURE_C12"? » 2024-04-25 16:20:05

Try e2fsck -V to find out what version is *really* on each system. (You may need /sbin/e2fsck -V if you're not running as root.)

#65 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] strange process. » 2024-03-30 17:20:03

See the man page for ssh-agent (although a quick look doesn't say how to disable it). I've not used it myself though.

#66 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] CLI throughput test for Linux » 2024-03-26 17:13:52

traceroute will only learn the IP address if it gets a response from the system. So in this case it's only going to work intermittently.

I suspect your traffic may be routed through two or more paths, one via a system that generates timout responses and one or more that don't. So it's a matter of chance whether you get a response.

But it's not a worry because your traffic is always passed on to later sites.

#67 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] CLI throughput test for Linux » 2024-03-25 17:21:28

traceroute dev1galaxy.org should show you the IP address as well as the name a reverse DNS lookup of the IP gets. Or traceroute -n ... to get just the IP addresses.

And mtr might have an option to show the IP addresses (try hovering over the name or clicking on it).

#68 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] CLI throughput test for Linux » 2024-03-24 17:30:19

That's past my knowledge of networking. It seems to have only replied to 2 of the 61 test packets sent to it. But passed on all the packets sent to later links.

If you are really interested you could ping it and see how often it replies. But it's probably won't get you anywhere unless you ask the telco that owns it, who probably won't be interested because it's passing packets on OK.

host host39.181-89-51.telecom.net.ar should tell you it's IP address. But again that isn't likely to tell you anything useful.

#69 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] CLI throughput test for Linux » 2024-03-23 17:06:58

The nodes with ??? for their IP address will have been configured to not send ICMP responses when a packet reached its max hops. So mtr can't tell what their IP address is. But the link looks OK because the later stages are responding OK.

#70 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] CLI throughput test for Linux » 2024-03-22 17:31:59

Your telco may well have an equivalent on their website. Which they might be more willing to believe since it *should* only be going through their hardware to get to it. So they can't blame congestion on the internet between their kit and the site in question.

I had a period when I was getting bad performance from my connection. It showed up as ping'ing sites on the internet got lost and duplicate packets. I used traceroute to my telco's website, then pinged each hop to find out where the fault seemed to be (in my case the first hop past my router). But I hope you don't need to do that.

#71 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Darktable Debian 12 software installation possible? » 2024-03-15 17:09:02

Please post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file. That might give us enough information to tell what's wrong.

#72 Re: Off-topic » question regarding hyperbola os » 2024-03-14 17:13:30

I just hover my mouse pointer over chopped URLs and the browser shows the full link on the bottom bar. By now it's a habit.

It also helps on web pages where the link doesn't match the visible text. Eg hover on the name of a poster.

#73 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Changing permissions on external drive » 2024-03-03 17:33:02

Look in /etc/fstab to see if it has an entry.

Check dmesg output and syslog for messages about the device or the mountpoint.

Try e2fsck -n <device> (-n means read only so should work for mounted devices). If that shows errors you need to *umount* the device, then run e2fsck <device> (specify the device, not the mountpoint).

#74 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] netstat -tulpen: strange output » 2024-02-25 17:26:40

A quck test gave me a clue (output truncated for brevity):

$ netstat -tulpen
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
 will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       User       Inode      PID/Program name    
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:25            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      0          15476      -                   
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:60799           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      105        14342      - 

And as root:

$ sudo netstat -tulpen
[sudo] password for chris: 
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       User       Inode      PID/Program name    
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:25            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      0          15476      2240/exim4          
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:60799           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      105        14342      1343/rpc.statd  

So netstat can't find out the PID/Program name if it's not running as root unless the program that opened the socket is running as you.

>filename is the quickest way to empty a file. Or cat /dev/null >filename if you want it to be more readable.
