#126 Re: Installation » OpenRC installation in Devuan Ascii » 2017-07-10 19:40:17

Well... There's another claim, and by a developer, that OpenRC is pretty much ready for installing, after the util-linux is compiled and installed, in Ascii:
I have a question about libsystemd0 in devuan ascii, (same bad title still)

openrc in jessie isn't in the best shape; the one in stretch/ascii should be
fully functional though. There's an insserv warning and that scary notice
during upgrades isn't that good, but I'm not aware of any other problems.

Should be installable as soon as util-linux is rebuilt.

But the apt-get source below is what I did following old instructions by Svante... And there is some more confusion in other posts below... So for the readers who use this topic to install OpenRC, the topic is actionable, but the util-linux package, not source, to use is, likely, because as Svante (and other devs who package it and its dependencies) say, the devuanized util-linux package.
So, gentle reader, you should first go to the:
download page first, be aware that news will likely be in the Devuan DNG ML thread linked from there, and than if necessary, read the rest of this topic.
Also, the source that I got below, and in the previous post by apt-get source is what I should file a bug about, as Svante suggested in this email of the same bad-subject thread. Should, if I manage to do it hmm .

Now, apt-get source just downloads. And I got:

And all of it is a little wrong, because it's all owned root:root, while it should be owned mr:mr (me, the normal user).

What do I do. Can I download sources as regular user. Let me try.

$ mkdir src
$ cd src
~/src$ apt-get source util-linux

And that does look much better!

Trying to get build dependencies with:
# apt-get build-dep util-linux

... same as already posted ...

[same as] at: http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=1128#p3236 .

And how could it be otherwise:

# apt-cache policy util-linux
util-linux:
  Installed: 2.28-1+devuan3
  Candidate: 2.28-1+devuan3
  Version table:
 *** 2.28-1+devuan3 500
        500 http://packages.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages
        100 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii-proposed/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://packages.devuan.org/devuan ascii/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So I got a chicken and egg problem. As long as 2.28-1+devuan3 version of util-linux is installed, it will be asking for systemd-dev and other packages.

Can I then try and build util-linux previous to # apt-get build-dep util-linux ?

Let me see:

This isn't completely solved. Only when torbrowser-launcher is fixed, only then can it be regarded as [SOLVED].
And, Admins, I vote for allowing longer titles to topics! smile

See also the timestamps. I just browsed with Tor, a little while ago.

And with:

$ uname -r
4.9.33-unofficial+grsec170708-18
$

Yes I did! But it was close at hand, the doing it, all this time. First, like GNUser suggested, it's just the Tor archive that you need. (And torbrowser-launcher should be reported this issue of false positive with verifying the downloaded Tor archive on Devuan bugs.)

$ ls -ltr .cache/torbrowser/download/
total 68208

That was at the time you can see.

WARNING OVER about the digression
)

So, first, just the archive, at this time.

And second, it was just sorting the two binaries with paxctl!

The thing is, paxrat wouldn't work, maybe I need to learn to use it. I know how to use it on normal path binaries, but it wouldn't work on a binary in:

$ ls -ltr _cache_torbrowser_download/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/
...
-rwx------ 1 mr mr   129656 2017-07-10 15:47 firefox
...
-rwx------ 1 mr mr   117456 2017-07-10 16:20 plugin-container
$

( _cache_torbrowser_download/tor-browser_en-US/ is where I simply untarred what torbrowser-launcher downloaded )
And, IIRC, neither would paxctl. But once I did:

# cp -iav _cache_torbrowser_download/tor-browser_en-US/ /usr/local/bin/

I was then able to convert and modify further the two binaries [color]firefox[/color] and [color]plugin-container[/color].

I was able to do that by running (only one of them I ran paxctl on, at first):

# paxctl -cpm /usr/local/bin/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/firefox

.

That actually got me Tor's Firefox to start! All the way! But the tabs would not reach anywhere... I couldn't connect to anywhere.

And looking into the logs, I saw:

( the paste has been minimally anonymized )

So you see that? That's Tor running under grsec!

But further on I see:

And to the unimaginative Miro (I dealt with these kind of issues over and over, how could I not have remembered... Well, it wasn't so usual, because of the location...)

But anyway, I dealt with by the same recipe (see the timestamps) in the listing further above, it's some 33 minutes later that I converted that other binary:

# paxctl -cpm /usr/local/bin/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/plugin-container

And then, the final thing to do was copy over 

cp -iav /usr/local/bin/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/firefox _cache_torbrowser_download/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/firefox

and accept to overwrite it (but I'm cheating with the order, I had already done that to get those partly successful run as in the log above), and

And this other copy I did do, only after that partly successful run as in the log above:

cp -iav /usr/local/bin/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/plugin-container _cache_torbrowser_download/tor-browser_en-US/Browser/plugin-container

And I can run Tor now. Verification pending, one successful run of a minute or two duration does no count yet, but if I'm not back rather soon, it very likely just works.

Regards!

title: OpenRC installation in Devuan Ascii
---
I'm preparing to try and install OpenRC.
Some references I found by searching Dev1Galaxy:
Open RC (issue, still open)
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=178

https://git.devuan.org/devuan-packages/openrc
---
There's some more info, maybe more up to date in recent threads on Devuan DNG ML:
I have a question about libsystemd0 in devuan ascii, ( bad subject, see below)
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 65.en.html

[Bad subject] that one is of course, but you change the subject, the thread is lost for your new email in Lurker sad , so you better leave the title alone, often...

But that email of mine, if you look up the whole thread:
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/thread/20 … 4.d61f1165

you see that the link above is a reply to this close to a month old email of our developer Svante Signell:
( same bad title )
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 27.en.html

However, I think most is almost or actually ready for close to a comfortable install of OpenRC, in Ascii....

In the next post.

But now it is not so anymore.

Devuan ASCII is still based on Stretch.  The problem was that Stretch moved from testing to stable and the script was tracking testing so was polluted with stuff from Buster.

NO!!  Unless I've totally missed something, Ceres is now tracking Buster. And as said above ASCII is tracking Stretch.

Eventually, Buster will be Devuan's Beowulf.

Well, thanks, kind golinux for exhaustive explanation... You live, you learn, you fail, you succeed... C'est la vie! smile

#133 Re: Installation » [Solved] Conversion from Debian Stretch to Devuan Ascii » 2017-07-08 21:56:07

UPDATE: pls. don't stop reading here. I stand corrected by a senior member in the next post (the rest in this remains as I wrote it yesterday, untouched).
---
There is one important thing to make clear, and our own devs learned it the hard way (first encounter with such issue):
Warning: Don't upgrade ASCII until merged is corrected
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 9d.en.html
but see nearby messages in the thread where the subject changed,  where all is clear what happened.

What was back then Debian Testing branch was Debian Stretch, back when I updated my Devuan Jessie with that Debian Stretch.

And Debian Stretch corresponded/correlated/you-name-the-relation with Devuan Ascii.

But now it is not so anymore.

The Debian Testing branch is now Debian Buster, and now Debian Buster is what is, to some extent, looked at for developing Devuan Ascii.

And instead Debian Stretch is now Debian Stable, so it correlates with Devuan Jessie.

So, what in the past months was referred to as relationship/correlation/whatever for conversion from-to, btwn Debian Stretch and Devuan Ascii is now not so (like in the warning and the thread that ensued on Devuan DNG Mailing List)!

Instead, that relationship is now btwn:

Devuan Ascii and Debian Buster.

To some extent, because Devuan is its own distro, although originally a fork of Debian.

I thought newbies might need this information.

#134 Re: Installation » Broken packages in Ascii, how to fix? (Beware of Debian Stretch) » 2017-07-08 21:13:41

If anybody feels like checking up if the logs are genuine (the missing ones in second, third and fifth posts I have now posted), because I was without a GUI-browser I can trust (Palemoon), and I've not mastered Lynx sufficiently well, or there are issues btwn Lynx and FluxBB or some such, they're welcome.

But baseless claims of invalidity or that they be any other lighthearted or other kind of denying my Air-Gapped/cloning methods, thanks a lot, not interested in discussing.

I like better enjoying Devuan, and enjoying being safe and secure using Devuan, which my methods are valid for.

(the eventual solution and faultless --but for an unavoidable snag-- update there!)
YMMV

#137 Re: Installation » Broken packages in Ascii, how to fix? (Beware of Debian Stretch) » 2017-07-07 20:58:15

The issues in this thread seem to be all solved, but I'll let the verification phase last some more...

Pls. study the thread on Devuan DNG ML, for details:

It *may* be possible to convert Debian Stretch to Devuan Ascii... It may be possible.
Out of time, busy elsewhere, but study from here:

#139 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Post Install Config Problems » 2017-07-06 10:34:55

I mean I had it in my somewhat concurrent topic of the title "...broken packages... (Beware of Debian Stretch)"

#140 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Post Install Config Problems » 2017-07-06 10:33:07

I'm 1) a little uncomfortable browsing, have only text browser Lynx,
2) work to do compiling Palemoon on my not-so-usual-setup system

But just this error:

"E: Internal Error, No file name for initramfs-tools:amd64"

I had it, even though because of 1) above it may not show, just last night. That will solve once you, possibly (I don't guarrantie it!) install the <whatever the package that did not install properly> with

dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/<that-full-name-binary>

. Duckduckgo.com for it...

#141 Re: Installation » xserver no start w/ ATI(AMD) card, xserver-org 1.19.3-1 [PARTLY SOLVED » 2017-07-06 10:18:15

I'll leave this topic at "PARTLY SOLVED" because fully SOLVED would mean my ATI-graphics running system should be able to have normal users running X, without becoming root.
Maybe we sort that out some day. I will need it because I have three of four only working graphics card ATI, only one NVidia.

#142 Re: Installation » Broken packages in Ascii, how to fix? (Beware of Debian Stretch) » 2017-07-05 17:44:12

For three days this post was only posted in part.
Now is complete, as written three days ago, at the time of opening this post. Namely I can (maybe temporarily) use Palemoon again.
---
Did I say I was betting on succeeding. I should have...

Well almost all did go fine. Just one error, but which might be critical.

Shortened log. I have it all for eventual later debugging, if it should be needed.

First I ran:
# apt-get update

Then, just as the advice (see the second, I think, post above, the link to "AMPROLLA GLITCH..." --at the time of posting not there, some glitch with Lynx, but it is extant--) goes:
# apt-get dist-upgrade

Potentially, this makes for a system that won't boot, no?

So, more hard thinking, and studying... Any advice welcome.

BTW, I've taken snapshots of /var/cache/ and  /var/lib/apt/, but I'm not updating my Air-Gapped with those! Not till I figure out the severity of this issue here!

But the /etc/apt/preferences.d/ascii-pin I have removed.

Any advice welcome!

Just like the second post:

Follows again real text, prepared back then.

But the main thing is only now coming. I'll update now the system, and that will probably rid me of the remaining issues similar to this one that scared me for more than half a day...

#145 Re: Installation » Broken packages in Ascii, how to fix? (Beware of Debian Stretch) » 2017-07-05 14:53:35

Initial text, back when I couldn't post with Lynx:

Network error, but the post that I prepared was ready for posting before the time of this post, and once I (hopefully) compile Palemoon, I'll post it with it.
I have to say, though, that Lynx does wonders, it's very advanced, lots of new features, probably the most maintained of the text browsers...

Follows real text, prepared at that time, not at the time of this edit with Palemoon (which I am, temporarily, back with):
---
In the linked (in the first post above) thread on Dng Devuan ML I got the advice that will very likely work. Both pieces of advice would work, but since my issue stem from my mixing of Devuan Jessie with Debian Stretch (which was then the Testing branch) and then incomplete reverting to Devuan by means of updating (all my updating is in various topic that I wrote on Dev1galaxy.org forums) [by means of updating] to Devuan Ascii, I am pretty confident that I will comfortably be able to update by means of the most complete updating and upgrading with the advice that applied to all Devuaners who happened to update when Debian Stretch went stable and the Testing branch became Debian Buster, which meant that Devuaners who updated in that short period of time when any "apt-get update" introduced some disorder, could use that method to reintroduce order into their system.

This was the advice that applied then to everybody, and by comparison, to very likely applies to my case:
AMPROLLA GLITCH: ISSUE SOLVED -- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … ad.en.html

But I like (didn't do it a couple of times, and sorely regretted it afterwards), to see what would a command/a method do, before I apply it.

So I stuck this below:
# cat /etc/apt/preferences.d/ascii-pin

Package: *
Pin: release n=ascii
Pin-Priority: 1001

#

And, first, I did study and understand some of man apt_preferences, but not found time to search (I don't know in which man page it is) for what:

Investigating (0) build-essential:amd64 < none -> 12.3 @un puN Ib >

and other lines with such cryptic characters, like:

Broken build-essential:amd64 Depends on libc-dev:amd64 < none @un H >

but, obviously, in the first line the 12.3 is the version of build-essential, and  none on the left of "->" means it's currently not installed, and altogether "none -> 12.3" means the ProblemResolver (I got all that debug-like output because I stuck "Debug::pkgProblemResolver "on";" in my apt.conf), is pondering about installing that version... "b" could stand for binary (pls. note that I'm only guessing)... And can't even try to guess the rest.

The "@un", in both lines, maybe stand for from unknown (pls. note that I'm only guessing).

Anyway, these three lines are important:

    Reinst Failed because of libc6-dev:amd64
    Reinst Failed because of libstdc++-6-dev:amd64
    Reinst Failed because of g++-6:amd64

But all that was previously. Now I got "ascii-pin"-ing in proper place. And all should go well.

E.g, I get nice output, and fine downgrading (because of the pinning, reader, peruse the man apt_preferences if you wonder why), that will remove blockages (I hope), with these three:

Replies: 9

Also posted in:
devuan packages explorer
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … cd.en.html

shows my "held broken packages" (Apt said). Also, in the other just finished topic in this Installation section of dev1galaxy.org forums (xserver-xorg fails w/ ATI(AMD) topic, last written this morning or last night), I wrote a little... but I'm not so used at browsing and posting with Lynx... Ah, I remember, it's there I first explained that my Palemoon was broken...

And I remember I posted my /etc/apt/apt.conf there as well... Leaving it below, till I find that link (sooner, or... some day).

I don't hide having tried, because of my Air-Gapped method, to use verifiable sources in Air-Gap, upon not having been able to find a way to get them from Devuan repos (I have in the meantime found the way to manually update my Air-Gapped sufficiently verifiably secure from third parties, there's a whole topic "Air-Gapped Devuan Install, Tentative" on dev1galaxy.org forums), but...

But not having figured at first how that was the way to do it, I updated my Jessie RC2 with Debian stretch, and surely that is in the root of my issues, that is the cause of my issues...

Anyway, I can't do much more than, while I study how to fix my issues, re-post the errors from Devuan ML, here.

It's some two months partly gone to nothing if I dont' fix this somehow...

#147 Re: Installation » xserver no start w/ ATI(AMD) card, xserver-org 1.19.3-1 [PARTLY SOLVED » 2017-07-04 18:05:44

Yes, that works! Thanks fsmithred again!
My lack of imagination kept me at the belief, or more like expectation that ATI(AMD) would work well
like in the old days when they were, in GNU/Linux, as good as Nvidia... But ATI(AMD) is now so poorly supported...

The xserver-xorg-legacy is, apparently indispensable with ATI...

#148 Re: Installation » xserver no start w/ ATI(AMD) card, xserver-org 1.19.3-1 [PARTLY SOLVED » 2017-07-04 16:50:30

fsmithred, I sent you mail, explained there... say if I didnt' get it right, pls.

But as far as xsever on ATI, well that's what I tried to live without, I like the new way Xorg works, unprivileged.
I don't have a display manager, its' startx and go.            I knew about:

xserver-xorg-legacy - setuid root Xorg server wrapper

but I didn't install it for reasons of that being root... Will have to do it, though. But I must find a way to disable it when with Nvidia card...

#149 Re: Installation » xserver no start w/ ATI(AMD) card, xserver-org 1.19.3-1 [PARTLY SOLVED » 2017-07-04 15:43:27

BTW, dev1galaxy.org certificate has again expired. Links2 said so, and now Lynx says so

Are you using a display manager? If so, which one - slim, lightdm or other?

On my ascii installs without a display manager, I've used this to run startx as user:

echo "needs_root_rights=yes" >> /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

I haven't tried any other settings. See man xwrapper.config.

My Palemoon failed, only Lynx can log in... So if not good post...
But, I'll see if that helps.
First though, fsmithred, I have prepared how Refracta fails to do things chrooted
in my cloned system, and (old, only offline because broken (into)) Gentoo can...
Since it's a lot, I'll mail it to you...
And if I recover my Palemoon (or recompile it successfully), I'll make it a topic...
(it's not sorted out)
Thanks, again!
