Maybe I misunderstood the set up, because there's no trace of using openvpn there? And there's also nothing stopping network traffic, but rather a quite normal, working set up.
Did you really start openvpn before capturing all that?

ralph.ronnquist · Hardware & System Configuration

Ok. Details, please. When you've started openvpn (not working), include the following:
the routing table

# ip route list all

iptables rules

# iptables-save

DNS configuration

# cat /etc/resolv.conf

the result of

# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

and interfaces

# ifconfig -a

.

One or some of those should probably tell what the problem might be.

With a simple command like

dpkg -l | awk '$1=="ii" {print $2}' | xargs -rn1 -I+ sh -c "dpkg -L + | grep --label=+ -Hw systemd" > systemd-references.txt

you'll get a listing of how all installed packages have paths with the word "systemd" in their name.

On my laptop (Devuan beta fully upgraded), I find "systemd" mentioned by 29 packages in a total of 148 times, of which 90 are plain files (the other are directory paths). Specifically:

dev1galaxy only uses BBCode, which you can find documented following the BBCode link below the Quick reply box, where it says "BBCode: on". The "BBCode" text is a link, to
https://dev1galaxy.org/help.php#bbcode which documents the extent of available markup.

Also, there is a Profile tick box in the "privacy" section for opting-in on getting subscribed to your topics. It might be possible to have that as default, and rather "force" people to to opt-out instead.

Maybe I misunderstood; my
devuan_jessie_1.0.0-beta2_amd64_CD.iso (from files.devuan.org)
includes /pool/DEBIAN/main/w/wpa/wpasupplicant_2.3-1+deb8u4_amd64.deb

ralph.ronnquist · News & Announcements

The newest addition to the dev1galaxy.org forum intends to make git.devuan.org (gdo) more directly accessible and understandable to Devuan users as well as to (hopefully) help solve outstanding project issues posted at gdo.

Every project and issue at gdo can now be found on dev1galaxy via the two special "Projects" and "Issues" forums in the new "git.devuan.org" section.

The Projects forum (https://dev1galaxy.org/viewforum.php?id=18) organizes Devuan projects into two categories - "devuan-packages / infrastructure" and "other projects". Both categories are presented as alphabetical and activity ordered lists. The project lists offer a short description (if available) and a convenient, single-click access to all projects at git.devuan.org.

The Issues forum (https://dev1galaxy.org/viewforum.php?id=19) holds threads that are automagically created by dev1galaxy's trusty "gdolink" bot, from all open issues at git.devuan.org. The bot will add newly opened issues (if any) to the Issue lists, every 30 minutes. Posting these issues on d1g will give greater exposure to issues that are currently buried in the gdo 'cave' (which is perceived as inaccessible by some). Opening parallel forum threads provides opportunity for discussion and collaborative problem solving that will accelerate Devuan's progress and usability.

Note that the posts in these issue threads are distinct from the comment discussion on gdo. However, when a post suggests a solution to an issue, or has information to advance it, a project team member will be able to capture the post as an original issue comment at gdo.

Finally, the "gdo Help Desk" is the place to ask questions about gdo and to post tips that will help familiarize users with how gdo works.

I saw on IRC that you've done many things trying to get it to work.
What does dmesg say now?

ralph.ronnquist · Installation

Perhaps it's ok to remove the BusID phrase instead?

ralph.ronnquist · Installation

You should probably use the longer one, "0000:00:0d.0"

Also, if you would put listings etc in code blocks, i.e. within a pair of [code] and [/code], it'd be easier to read.

This function is has been improved, and you are now able to both have a password log in and to log in via git.devuan.org.

Like before, when you log in via git.devuan.org, your account is promoted into a "via git.devuan.org" account. This is then remembered by the forum through any subsequent log in, whether via password or via git.devuan.org, until you go through the "Forgot my password" procedure.

ralph.ronnquist · Other Issues

It's a bit scary to reply to this, because you've raised a fair few issues in the one breath :-)
How about splitting them up into several (is it 3 or is it 4?) threads.

As for the the last issue, "compiling without systemd", I believe a search in the
dyne.org's mailing list may bring up some discussions. That would be my first target for "FAQs in one spot"; though I wouldn't be surprised if there are more spots than one available.

ralph.ronnquist · News & Announcements

The Dev1 Galaxy Forum now lets you use your git.devuan.org login to log in, where you need authorize the forum to access your user information. Just click the link on the login page and follow the prompts. If you run into problems, contact the forum administrators, or drop a line at freenode#d1g-users for assistance.

As a new forum user, you will be automatically registered with the git.devuan.org username and email, unless of course, there is a clash with an existing account.
As an existing user, with the same username and email, you will automatically "promote" your account to a "via git.devuan.org" account.
As an existing user, with different username or email, you will be automatically registered with the git.devuan.org username and email, unless of course, there is a clash with an existing account.

To revert your account (back?) to a password account, you need to follow the "Forgot my password" route, and set a new password whilst avoiding to log in via git.devuan.org.

Welcome!

Not sure what 'the standard way' means to you, but for example, the group name 'storage' is not listed at https://wiki.debian.org/SystemGroups. I suppose, that might not be normative for Devuan, since Devuan is not Debian, but to me it implies that polkit is not standard.

In any case, whether standard or not doesn't help towards your problem, which rather seems to be, how to configure udisks and/or polkit to work the way you want.

What was wrong with using pmount/pumount ?

ralph.ronnquist · Forum Feedback

Maybe https://www.stopforumspam.com could be of some use?

ralph.ronnquist · Documentation

It's worth to note that some buttons generate many events, with different arguments. E.g., my lid button has "open" or "close" as (third) arguments . The script (or the recognition rule) will then need to distinguish appropriately, to get the right thing done for the right event(s).

ralph.ronnquist · DIY

I've moved this project to gitlab, https://git.devuan.org/ralph.ronnquist/rrq.git, and included control scripts with a full setup of tun interfaces, routing and iptables rules, as an OOTB filtering solution. Though, it doesn't include block list files; I only have the ones I bought, and no free ones.

There's also an HTTP admin tool for the brave hearted.

ralph.ronnquist · Desktop and Multimedia

Sigh. Several people have told me how wrong I am: apparently in computing, anything older than 6 years is ancient ...

ralph.ronnquist · Desktop and Multimedia

My friend, to use "ancient" about things from some 30 or so years ago is also a way to climb the scale. In any case, I got a good answer to my question. We can meet up and discuss the rest sometime, somewhere.

ralph.ronnquist · Hardware & System Configuration

If the button results in an ACPI event, you could deal with it through that: a "rules file" in /etc/acpi/events to recognize it and map to a script, and that script invoking pm-suspend, habitually placed in /etc/acpi.

ralph.ronnquist · Desktop and Multimedia

Thanks.

have no idea what your talking about . . . I didn't know a kernel had a color!! LOL!

yes :-) a while ago I thought to experiment with the C-A-f1 console, to have black text on white instead of the washed out gray on black (or sometimes dirty dark green). I then found out that those console colours are hardcoded into the kernel, in a palette of 8 named colours, with "white" conveniently naming the gray colour. This seems to have happened many years ago, but that doesn't place it lower on the stupid scale. In any case, I eventually worked out how to achieve black on actual white on the console, and that it's not worth fighting for.

ralph.ronnquist · Desktop and Multimedia

Is there an easy way for me to have the (beta2) XFCE desktop icon labels text in black?
Just a vanilla installation with everything default.

(and I think whoever made the "white" kernel colour be gray should have a separate talking-to)

Announcing https://github.com/ralph-ronnquist/rrq

This Parental Internet Packet Filtering is a blacklist based network traffic filter to block access to certain domain names for all or some outbound and/or forwarded HTTP and SSL traffic.

The blocking principle is simply to detect and discard any IP packet that constitutes the initial handshake of an HTTP or SSL connection to a blocked domain. By discarding these initial packets, the blocked domains become inaccessible.

The project includes two alterantive daemons: "rrq_nfq" for iptables based filtering, and "rrq_vde" for use on a VDE cable chain. Includes "make deb" for building a Devuan (.deb) package.

ralph.ronnquist · Hardware & System Configuration

As I restarted a vdev setup from scratch, I was reminded that the dvb adapter end points get rather restrictive file permissions, e.g:

crw------- 1 root root 212, 0 Jan  8 21:54 demux0
crw------- 1 root root 212, 1 Jan  8 21:54 dvr0
crw------- 1 root root 212, 3 Jan  8 21:54 frontend0
crw------- 1 root root 212, 2 Jan  8 21:54 net

This is something one can remedy by an action, say, "/etc/vdev/actions/dvb.act" as follows:

[vdev-action]
event=add
path=^dvb/adapter[0-9]+/[^/]+$
VAR_PERMISSIONS_GROUP=video
VAR_PERMISSIONS_MODE=0660
helper=permissions.sh

I.e., give rw permission for group video to all endpoints. I'm adding that action to the standard set in a forth-coming version.

The script in detail: the "event" category is limited to act on new path names, and the path name (following "/dev/") is restricted (through a POSIX regular expression) to the "adapterN/blah" end points. This action utilises the standard permissions setting helper, which makes good use of the given "VAR_*" variables.

ralph.ronnquist · Hardware & System Configuration

btw, re (8):

chrisw wrote:

8) I attached an external USB HDTV adapter (PCTV 290e) and the expected /dev/dvb devices were created.
However for to test this further on a proper multi-tuner mythtv backend (with the need for consistent and meaningful names), I would need to be able to recreate the following udev rules in vdev:
# PCTV 290e single tuner USB stick
# --------------------------------
# Create symlinks /dev/dvb/adapterPCTV290e/* pointing to PCTV 290e adapter (has unique attributes, so can find wherever it is)

I think I would consider having a separate naming script, with code like

ln -sTf adapter0  /dev/dvb/adapterPCTV290e

to be run when starting the mythtv app, or manually, rather than making it vdevd magic; especially since there might be several adapters of the same brand.

E.g., for my own TV system I have 4 receivers of the same brand, so I can't use your approach off hand. (A separate comment is that it's enough to symlink to the adapterX directory rather than symlink each "control interface" [or what it's called]) As you might know, the product name for /dev/dvb/adapterX is (currently) available at e.g.

cat /sys/class/dvb/dvbX.demux0/device/product

But, I suppose there could be a helper script improvement for this in some way.
