I have configured Devuan Jessie with Mate as my prefered desktop in parallel to XFCE. Now there are several menu entries I would like to get rid of. Can I simply and safely uninstall

task-xfce-desktop

without any side effects? Anything else to consider?

Thanks, rolfie

#1303 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Delay on shutdown closing luks containers » 2017-12-27 18:22:33

After some updates the behaviour of my Devuan Jessie installation finally has changed. No idea what may have caused this.

Now I just get

INIT: Switching to runlevel: 0
INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal
rpcbind: rpcbind teminating on signal. Restart with "rpcbind -w"

After this message appears, it only takles a few seconds until the mainboard is powered off. This is how I like to see it.

The ASCII VM still behaves the same as before. 

Hints/comments are welcome.

Regards, rolfie

Got a Devuan Jessie encrypted working. A nuisance I have seen is a about 60s delay during the shutdown of the PC when stopping the 2 crypto disks. Here is a shortened transcript from a screenshot from a VM:

[....] Stopping remaining crypto disks...sda2_crypt (busy)..... ....... 
[FAILsda2_crypt (busy)...sda2_crypt (busy).....sda2_crypt (busy) failed.
sda3_crypt (busy)...sda3_crypt (busy)..... ......
....
[FAILsda3_crypt (busy)...sda3_crypt (busy).....sda3_crypt (busy) failed.
done.
[FAIL] Stopping early crypto disks ...sda2_crypt (busy)...failed.
[FAILcrypt (busy)...failed.
done.
[Info] Will now halt.

The first line is displayed, then it takes about one minute until the rest is shown. The same happens in a VM with a Jessie upgraded to Ascii.

I get a similar message on my Wheezy workstation, but no delay.

Anything I can do, a tweak? Or is this a bug?

Thanks, Rolf

When checking out the package content of firmware-linux-nonfree 0.43 firmware for RV710 is included. So I am wondering which firmware is being used here? The 'nonfree' or xorg?

xorg does not contain firmware, that is part of the external firmware-linux-nonfree package since its propriority contents.
