libusb-1.0-0 1.0.19-1 is available in Jessie. Refer to https://pkginfo.devuan.org/. You have to specify the complete name in your apt install command.

Note that the apt-transport-https package is needed to take advantage of https sources.
Tried this and it didn't work. I think I discussed this in a thread a while ago, but I couldn't find it.

There is a link to https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list which still refers to country codes. I would patch that page too.
That section is a partial that is called on both pages. Last I looked, both pages were picking it up. Try refreshing the page if you're not seeing it.
Called that page pointing to /etc/apt/sources.list with my up-to-date FF-ESR and Chromium, still get the hint to the country codes.

I can confirm that https does not work. There is at least one thread somewhere in this forum about this topic.
A simple http://deb.devuan.org/merged without country code works fine (ignore the Devuan web page).

I already had an older 2.0 ascii, and to make a new one would require burning a new CD. I did an apt-get update / dist-upgrade after installation, and according to forum post: http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3195 it shouldn't make a difference which install cd I use.
Of course, I may be wrong here. Should I have used 2.1? If that's the case, then this report can be ignored.
Makes no difference. It was not clear if you used a fresh install (then 2.1 as a start would have been easier) or an existing installation. When the older installation is updated, there is no difference.

That install is not typical of people upgrading existing (mate) machines from ascii to beowulf. So it's good that mate works from fresh install, but this is a migration. The issue about the computer icon is more a bug report, than anything else. It was there in Ascii, and disappeared in Beowulf. Users should not need to use mate-tweak...
Maybe you don't remember: no matter if 1.16 or 1.20, on a fresh install Mate comes with the Home folder icon only on the desktop. You have to configure your desktop anyhow. The hard way is via the dconf-editor, at least for me, I never immediately find the settings, mate-tweak is much easier.

Thanks, the contents pointed to the Realtek NIC. Renamed the file and everything is back to eth0.
I have the feeling that FF is resolving adresses very slowly now. Is there an easy way to generate a new rule for the Intel NIC?
Thanks, rolfie

Got a M5A99X EVO R2 board running ASCII. The onboard NIC (Realtek) suddenly stopped working. I had an Intel GBit NIC around I did install in the PC and disabled the onboard chip in the BIOS. This is no more detected by lspci.
But now ASCII insists on replacing eth0 with eth1. Had to modify the interfaces settings.
Where do I need to look to stop ASCII/(eudev?) doing this?
Thnaks, rolfie

Also it waits at:
MTAI have no idea what this means!
MTA = Mail Transfer Agent, typically exim. Starting up exim can take a while when no network is detected until some timeouts have passed.

#1210 Re: Installation » SOLVED: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf different in Cinnamon versus MATE » 2020-01-09 20:01:52
I just use Mate in ASCII and Beowulf. There is no difference, you find the lightdm.conf in /etc/lightdm. There you need to uncomment:
[Seat:*]
#type=xlocal
....
#greeter-session=example-gtk-gnome
greeter-hide-users=falseThat works fine and display a list of full usernames on the login screen.
I have just done an apt install lightdm, there are no options.

Hi roluan17,
I'm from Germany also. I have dropped all tries to add a country code or a specific mirror. I simply use:
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-security main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-backports main contrib non-freeThis works fine.

#1213 Re: Installation » Updating ASCII to ASCII 2.1 point release » 2019-12-03 21:22:41
I've used Debian for a number of years and am used to updating Debian releases using their announcements
and apt's update, upgrade (or full-upgrade), using apt/aptitude..
If you have been using apt update/upgrade regularly since installation, you have an up to date ASCII installation, which only has very minor differences to the 2.1 point release. i.e. if you have selected openrc during your initial installation, you still got it and its up to date. If you want to install it now and change to using it, it is more work to do.
Under normal circumstances there is no point in re-installing with 2.1 if you are happy and have not totally screwed your system. This point release has the charm that when you do a fresh installation, you have an easier access to openrc and you have much less updates that need to be installed vs a 2.0 installation. Thats it.
I'm running two PCs at home that have been installed with a 2.0 beta which is my wifes PC and mine that was build after the release of 2.0. Both work fine and are up to date without re-installation.

#1214 Re: Installation » Hash Sun mismatch » 2019-11-29 20:24:53
Which release do you intend to use? ASCII = stable, Beowulf = testing, ceres = unstable/experimental?
Check if changing the sources to
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged asciihelps. This is the official notification, refer to https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list.
#1215 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » APT doesn't install from testing repository » 2019-11-24 17:17:20
Looks like you need to invest some time to understand the various terms and definitions.
Here are some hints: https://devuan.org/os/
Jessie = Oldstable, ASCII = Stable. Unfortunately Devuan has dropped all hints to Beowulf and Ceres on the main pages.
Have a look at this page: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/
When you look through the options from the drop down list, you see that Beowulf is Testing, and Ceres is Unstable.
Your sources.list does not point to Testing:
#Testing
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-updates main
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-updates main
This belongs to ASCII, refer to https://devuan.org/os/
If you want Testing there, you have two options:
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf main [contrib non-free]
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged testing main [contrib non-free]Both options are possible, but I need to warn you: having that in the sources.list and running apt update/apt upgrade will cause havoc.
You better read a lot how to configure the sources before you start to install individual packages from different releases.
Good luck, rolfie

How to determine if openrc is running?
When booting past expanding the initramfs, you should see a message about init 2.88 starting and two lines deeper openrc 0.23 starting

#1220 Re: Installation » ascii 2.1 iso with openrc install doesnt work » 2019-11-06 16:39:06
I am asking because in ascii 2.0 you had to do an expert install and select openrc. Looks like the installation with 2.1 has changed, the question is asked in the normal install already.
Just tried 2.1 amd64 in VBox: selection works fine, openrc 0.23 is starting.
You mention something about re-installation. What does that mean? Did you overwrite an existing installation? e.g. without formatting the disk? Please explain.
#1221 Re: Installation » ascii 2.1 iso with openrc install doesnt work » 2019-11-05 21:07:44
How did you select openrc?
#1222 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Mate panel lockups » 2019-11-04 19:46:56

Currently its rare, when it happens I open a terminal on the desktop which still works, enter su - and tell the PC to restart.

#1223 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Is "Devuan GNU/Linux 1.0 (jessie)" lastest stable version? » 2019-10-27 22:01:49
Read https://devuan.org/os/.
I have tried $ sudo apt dist-upgrade but says nothing to updgrade
That will not help on its own.
You need to:
1.) Modify your sources list to ASCII repository
2.) apt update
3.) apt upgrade
4.) apt dist-upgrade
Search the web for instructions how to update from release to a later release.

Addition: Mate shows a popup telling me:

There is a hint to look into syslog, or dmesg, but there is no entry present.
Writing under Win7 works.
