#1226 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Slim login screen spans across 2 monitors as if one monitor » 2018-08-01 03:53:40

This suggestion is really in the absence of real knowledge, that using slim I would think you can patch the default_server in /etc/slim.conf to be a script that starts the X server, and in addition spawns a delayed appropriate xrandr command. Perhaps something like the following:

#!/bin/bash
( sleep 2 ; xrandr --output VGA-1 --auto --same-as LVDS-1 ) &
exec /usr/bin/X11/X $*

Though, I'm pretty sure you'll need some xauth call as well, to import /var/run/slim.auth.

I'm also pretty sure there are better ways than this, and perhaps someone in the know will slide by eventually.

#1228 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Teamviewer 13 library issue: libQt5Core.so » 2018-07-24 12:48:17

It looks very peculiar. Could you check with

$ file /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5.10.1

to make sure it's an appropriate library.

Also, check with

$ ldd /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQt5Core.so.5.10.1

that it has compatible dependent libraries to all else.

If all those look fine, I'm out of ideas...

#1229 Re: DIY » Mount android disk image inside linux » 2018-07-22 23:19:46

If /dev/mmcblk0 was the full disk, you can't mount the image file directly. One solution to that would be to use nbd (network block device) where you set up the nbd server to use the image file, and then "install it" to the system with an nbd client, which would create a series of /dev/nbd0p1, /dev/nbd0p2, ... points for the partitions and subsequent file system mounting.

However, I don't think file recognizes the image correctly, but rather that the image is a raw NAND image, which needs to be pulled as such. It's a fair while since I was blistering my eyebrows on that problem, and apart from me having forgotten most of it, the details of the story are probably quite different nowadays anyhow. I can only suggest that you follow up on reading/writing NAND images.

#1230 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » NetworkManager connects to wireless but does not resolve » 2018-07-21 04:32:30

Is it that the installation left some residue in /etc/network/interfaces? If you're using a network manager, that file should be just

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Anything else, and in particular any lines mentioning wlan0 may well confuse the situation.

#1231 Re: Other Issues » [Solved] Older version of php » 2018-07-09 21:17:14

Devuan jessie has 5.6.36+dfsg-0+deb8u1, in jessie-security, so you might be able to install from there.

#1232 Re: Installation » Deterministic names for network interfaces? » 2018-07-09 21:05:11

I don't know exactly which set up you had before or which you have now, but I do know that it works how I described.

For this, I installed a fresh Devuan ascii VM with two network interfaces, and have explored the variations. It appears to be the case, that the kernel establishes its interface naming before the udev (i.e., eudev) processing gets a chance. Therefore the first attempt to rename eth0 to eth1 fails, etc.

In my VM, I only added /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules with the two rules (adapted for my mac addresses of course), and looked at the effects of the various alternatives. The set up of naming the secondary interface eth2 works fine.

This test system will of course always pass the kernel's eth0 first to udev. With physical adapters I can imagine the possibility that the kernel passes its eth1 first, in which case this solution would fail anyhow, and then you would rather need to rename both interfaces to unused names.

#1233 Re: Installation » Deterministic names for network interfaces? » 2018-07-09 12:41:27

As far as I can tell, the first rule pair is the right one. However,  it's not possible to rename an interface to an already taken name, and the problem is that the udev rules apply well after both interfaces have gained their kernel names. I.e., both names eth0 and eth1 are in use when the rules apply.

Thus, when udev wants to rename eth0 to eth1, it fails because eth1 is already taken. Then the renaming of eth1 to be eth0 also fails for the same reason.

You may however probably rely on that the interface originally named eth0 by the kernel will be processed first. You could therefore set up the rules to name the secondary interface eth2 rather than eth1. Doing so makes eth0 free for any subsequent renaming of the other interface. In that case you will have the interfaces named as eth0 and eth2 via their mac addresses.

If you insist on having eth0 and eth1 you will need a subsequent renaming to happen. That is not easily done through udev, but I think  the ifrename package would be able to deal with this.

This forum is now blessed with a русский language option with your translations. Great!

Note that the forum software, including the translations (in their php form) is available at Devuan's gitlab.

#1235 Re: Off-topic » I can help Devuan project? » 2018-06-28 05:50:51

That sounds good. I'll prepare the "translation pack" and email this to your registration email. It involves some 1500 phrases and 17 email templates. Though half or so are for the admin pages, which don't necessarily need translations.

#1236 Re: Off-topic » I can help Devuan project? » 2018-06-26 10:20:50

@Eaglet: I you like, you would also be welcome to add the русский flavour to this forum.

Det låter jättebra. Tack. Låt mig samla ihop underlaget, så skickar jag det till din regestreringsadress (om en dag eller två).

#1240 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » openvpn server and client on same box » 2018-06-19 11:46:43

There are probably many holes in my understanding, but isn't it so, that the server-vpn program already interacts on eth0 for handling its clients; so it's response packets are already outbound on eth0 without any routing?

#1241 Re: Forum Feedback » Much ado about nothing » 2018-06-18 22:56:46

Thanks smile A full day without takers!
In my mind, "blame" is not central to Anarchism; there are other belief systems for that.
But I agree it's a good point: what would Kropotkin say?

#1242 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » openvpn server and client on same box » 2018-06-18 22:49:09

mmm ... all 192.168.x.0/24 (ethX) traffic should go out without ado due to the network route.

#1243 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » openvpn server and client on same box » 2018-06-18 22:02:11

That's a good set of rules for doing no filtering at all, yes smile

If you don't mind, rather dump the output if iptables-save, just to confirm all the tables. Basically, you shouldn't need any iptables rules, except the masquerading of the outbound traffic on tunY. That one is necessary to allow packets with original source from IP 10.8.x.0/24 (i.e., your server-vpn clients) or 192.168.y.0/24 (your wlanX neighbors), as well as allowing packets from 192.168.x.0/24 (your ethX neighbors) to be forwarded and masqueraded through tunY.

#1244 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » openvpn server and client on same box » 2018-06-18 21:17:51

What would be the best way to check?

Remove the rule

iptables -A FORWARD -j REJECT

to see if it works without it.

Then add it back, preceded by rules that allow forwarding between tunX and tunY.

#1245 Re: Installation » Network booting » 2018-06-18 07:54:25

Right. Some random googling suggests https://volumio.org/forum/vcgencmd-comm … html#p6319 to me, but you might have tried that already?

#1247 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » SSD/HDD keeps spinning after resume from suspend » 2018-06-17 23:17:20

That Ubuntu solution is not right for Devuan.

However they suggest that hdparm -S is ineffective, and maybe that's the first thing to investigate. If it works fine, then the command

# hdparm -S 2 /dev/hda

would make the disk /dev/hda spin down after 10 seconds. Perhaps you can check that to begin with.

If that works, then the resume code path that leads to that (or the similar) command is broken, and we can look at that.
If not, then it's a more difficult problem.

#1248 Re: Forum Feedback » Much ado about nothing » 2018-06-17 22:49:53

If I understand it right, the basic tenet against a published Troll Count is on the line that it's more likely to be (mis-) used by a bunch of dickheads banding together to wield dickheadary against some normal adult member, than that it's used by the normal adult members as (weak) indicator towards the censoring of a dickhead.

Well, perhaps. I'll leave my head where it is for the moment.

#1249 Re: Forum Feedback » Much ado about nothing » 2018-06-17 01:24:03

Just to add some motivation:

My assertion is that when you are trolling, you are trolling whether you think so or not; it's not up to you, as a troll, to judge it right or wrong. Further, I believe some people would be too polite to nominate a troll if they thought the troll would see them doing it. They would rather suffer the trolling, and that would dull any edge of this extension.

The troll list is that little bit different from an ignore list in publishing the count, in the hope that it both stimulates people to evaluate the (perhaps) trolling posts more thoughtfully, and triggers self-criticism for the (somewhat) trolling poster.

#1250 Re: Forum Feedback » Much ado about nothing » 2018-06-17 00:18:45

You got it right. There is no way you can find out who are ignoring you (short of bribing me to tell you, of course).
