This is how the (somewhat) working setup now looks in my Air-Gapped.

BTW, I didn't know AMD/ATI was all in red, i.e. unsupported/poorly supported:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg#AMD
...
But I haven't bought a video card for some four or more years. Wasn't like that before AMD bought ATI... Never mind.

Of these:
https://www.x.org/wiki/FAQErrorMessages/
I have seen in these few days almost half, but not too well can I remember to say precisely.

After removing the nonfree packages (these were suggested on some pages on Debian wiki and elsewhere when I tried to install fglrx-driver):

# apt-get remove firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-misc-nonfree firmware-amd-graphics

(that was actually the first step, the install of the:

# # apt-get install firmware-linux-free

was afterwards)

[After removing the nonfree packages] and installing the free firmware, I ran:

# X -configure

which saved for me xorg.conf.new in the $HOME directory. And it suggested I could try running:

# X -config xorg.conf.new

which I did.

I was running:

$ uname -r
4.9.27-unofficial+grsec170512-22
$

which is just what I'm running in this clone (with NVidia card) of that master (with ATI). I only have one NVidia card, and some three working ATI. No surplus. I sometimes have to shutdown a system and move a card from one machine to another...

And I got apparently in other respects good output by # X -configure, but for this:

[ 2041.551711] PAX: execution attempt in: (null), 00000000-00000000 00000000

which I would very much like to understand, but tonight I had to get my X running in any way, and do the full circle with my Air-Gapping.

So I tried the same as root. It still failed. But not so badly (no time for details).

I rebooted into:

# uname -r
4.9.0-3-amd64

did it all over, and after one tweak to it, as suggested in
"AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0", even though it's likely the monitor that is half broken, since it's probably older than that Sapphire Technology RV370 Radeon X300, which tweak consisted in removing, I think it was in two places:

        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection

removing two subsections that looked something like that and saving the file...
And then I was able to run:

# X -config xorg.conf.new

and it started the X.

I will keep the logs of all the attempts for a while. Because I will need them to solve the issue completely.

But I can live like this for a day or two or so.

As per the apt-listchanges news reported in the starting post, I could probably, and still can, use the legacy package for old behavior, but that doesn't apeal to me. The new method is so much safer.

And I've one important thing I have to add. I had (days ago) added me as normal user to the input group.

I think it was this command:

# usermod -G -a input mr

in my case (user mr).

In essence, showing dpkg commands, as man apt.conf reads it will do, but, not installing the package.. As per:

# apt-cache policy firmware-linux-free

firmware-linux-free:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.4
...

remaining uninstalled.

So since:

# ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives/firmware-linux-free_3.4_all.deb 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19196 2015-08-16 16:04 /var/cache/apt/archives/firmware-linux-free_3.4_all.deb

the package was downloaded fine, I went for a binary search, and it was only one line that needed to be commented out. This one.

#Debug::pkgDPkgPM "on";

The rest can remain.

If it looks like a bug to other readers, it would be great it someone reported it... Or explained how come it wouldn't install the package... It was similar with remove'ing packages as well. As soon as that line is commented out, and only once that line is commented out, packages can be removed...

BTW, I got Xorg running with ATI now, but only as root, and only with non-grsec kernel... I'll try and provide a more thorough report next.

#155 Re: Installation » xserver no start w/ ATI(AMD) card, xserver-org 1.19.3-1 [PARTLY SOLVED » 2017-07-03 13:33:37

I have gotten much more familiar with apt, apt-get, apt-config, apt.conf and other man pages... I surely would have written the first post much differently if I were to have dedicated to those learning such long hours as I did yesterday, previous to posting it...

But I might be close to finding the solution to my issue.

Look:

for i in $(apt-cache search firmware | grep free | grep linux | awk '{ print $1 }'); do apt-cache policy $i ; done ;

firmware-linux-free:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.4
  Version table:
     3.4 500
        500 http://packages.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii/main amd64 Packages
firmware-linux-nonfree:
  Installed: 20161130-3~bpo8+1
  Candidate: 20161130-3~bpo8+1
  Version table:
 *** 20161130-3~bpo8+1 100
        100 http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-backports/non-free amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

IOW, if firmware-linux-nonfree would be needed for problematic for fglrx-drive (in bottom of previous post), which was a dependency that I had to install, maybe I just install what I probably have uninstalled by mistake in the huge mess that I created when I updated my system with stretch... and that is the firmware-linux-free...

But I first have to uninstall those few packages that I installed when I tried to install fglrx-drive... I'm doing it the way I did, poor-user's non-expert hacking that I need for the manual Air-Gapping method... It's not so very trivial...

I've tried to solve this more quickly in different ways, but all my attempts failed miserably, shattering badly my nerves on a few occasions... So I fear I have to approach this case much more thoroughly.

And I have no trouble starting up X with startx (I have a sans-dbus system, so nothing fancy, e.g. not even auto disk mounting, ugh, thanks a lot, I don't mind the few seconds it takes me to mount anthing the old way: manually... it's so much safer!)... [and I have no trouble starting up X with startx] in this system, even though I already couldn't start X when I updated my Air-Gapped (pls. see my topic on Air-Gapped in this Dev1Galaxy.org forums if you wonder what methods I used)... True, because it's a different video card in that other system, details follow...

And the xserver-* and related packages are all ascii. Very few of any of my packages, because of my recent attempt:
How to install TorBrowser in Ascii? NOT from Stretch backports!
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=773

[Very few of any of my packages] are from jessie-backports...

I added ceres-backports as well (but nothing installed from it so far), or should I not have that other backports for some reason?...

But no packages yet have I pulled, recently (after moving away from Debian stretch which I erroneously, before having figured out how to do Air-Gapping with Devuan, used previously), other than from ascii repos, and, just very little, only for torbrowser-launcher, from jessie-backports.

I'm actually not knowledgeable enough to explain the problem well, but I believe it was the xserver-org-* update after which it wouldn't work anymore...

  from 2007 and up. If this triggers new bugs on your hw, please file them
  against the xserver.

  Continuing to use the -intel driver is possible by dropping the template
  xorg.conf to /etc/X11:

  # cp /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-intel/xorg.conf /etc/X11

xorg-server (2:1.17.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  The Xorg server is no longer setuid root by default.  This change reduces the
  risk of privilege escalation due to X server bugs, but has some side effects:

  * it relies on logind and libpam-systemd
  * it relies on a kernel video driver (so the userspace component doesn't
    touch the hardware directly)
  * it needs X to run on the virtual console (VT) it was started from
  * it changes the location for storing the Xorg log from /var/log/ to
    ~/.local/share/xorg/

  On systems where those are not available, the new xserver-xorg-legacy package
  is needed to allow X to run with elevated privileges.  See the
  Xwrapper.config(5) manual page for configuration details.

However,
# apt-cache policy xorg-server

N: Unable to locate package xorg-server
#

but:
# apt-cache search xserver | wc -l

67
#

gives a lot and at first I thought I would leave it out... But I'm too clueless, and the right info to help me solve this might not be just around the corner...
# apt-cache search xserver

And I'll now make a list of, after a few steps, only those that are installed in my system. Using bash. Gentle reader, teach me better if better you know.

This:
# for i in $(apt-cache search xserver| awk '{ print $1}'); do apt-cache policy $i | if ( grep -q none ); then echo $i >> xserver-org_NOT_installed ; fi ; done ;
gave (after a while):
# cat xserver-org_NOT_installed

So that one is obviously RV370 Radeon X300. It worked before the xserver-org update...

And I also tried, and that one is currently in the master Air-Gapped system another ATI (AMD) card, obviously Sapphire Turks Radeon HD 6570 or so:

I figured out in my last attempt with proprietary drivers, which I would actually prefer if I can uninstall and get clean from blobs, that radeon wouldn't work, after I had... Ah, let me find those logs...

BTW, the last two lines 13 minutes after the last "...atombios..." line are my system rebooting... Namely, those errors there was last the logs got. Total freeze. And tho
se kind of times are nerve-recking...

And I got it that I would need to blacklist radeon (but I'd very much prefer to go back to free drivers if possible), because one of my last tries was to install fglrx-driver:
# apt-get install fglrx-driver

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 fglrx-driver : Depends: xorg-video-abi-19 but it is not installable or
                         xorg-video-abi-18 but it is not installable or
                         xorg-video-abi-15 but it is not installable or
                         xorg-video-abi-14 but it is not installable or
                         xorg-video-abi-13 but it is not installable or

                         xorg-video-abi-6.0 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

And that led me to:
fglrx-driver: broken depends on xorg-video-abi-18
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=784903
and:
AMD/ATI Proprietary Driver
https://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary

But, again, I'd very much like to, now that I'm dedicating serious time to it, and I hope it might be helpful to other Devuaners as well, [to] go complete free drivers way...

#157 Re: Installation » How2instl TorBrowser in Ascii? NOT frm Stretch bakprts! [PARTLY SOLVED » 2017-07-01 14:37:23

It's better to make a new post (than as I suggested, updating the previous).

I use:

$ uname -r
4.9.27-unofficial+grsec170512-22

And similar to what is read in this topic:

Can't launch hardend browser with Grsecurity
https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions … grsecurity
( asked Nov 21 '16 at 21:53 )

IOW (but these are years old):
PaX: Max. per-task virtual memory too small for llvm asan and gcc-4.8 asan
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458706

The fix had been proposed (years old):
PaX and Clang sanitizers, or some random notes on the crossbreeding of adders and hedgehogs
http://endl.ch/clang-sanitizers-with-pax

but it is unclear if anything came out of it.

I wrote that it was "similar to what is read" in that topic. But instead, I only see:

Launching './Browser/start-tor-browser --detach'...

and I don't get any useful info in the logs either.

But no message about memory failure, or segmentation or abort or similar appears in my logs... Nothing useful whatsoever. Just silent failure. But that could be a cosmetic not-show. I've seen such behavior...

But I can easily use Tor with:

$ uname -r
4.9.0-3-amd64

(I just tested it)... Except, I don't trust non-grsec kernels...

I'll try, soon, or later (I have other issues as well that are at some moments of disheartenment shattering my nerves at this time), I'll try and see if corsac's grsec kernel (the official grsec kernels in Debian/Devuan below are his work)
(
which I finally discovered was an apt-get install away for me --my jolly imaginativeness!-- ...

I'll try and see if corsac's grsec kernel can deal with torbrowser-launcher...

Tor, well: privacy, is my long term need. Maybe not soon, but I will be back for the solution to this.

Why not just use the portable TorBrowser for GNU/Linux available here?

I tested it on Devuan Jessie and it works fine. It should run on Devuan ASCII just as well.

In other words, what I already have downloaded a few (too many) times and for some reason could not be verified even though it was correct download...
...That is already useable as is...
Aaahhh... How imaginative I am.
But thanks! GNUser for filling up for my unimaginativeness... In case that will work...

Let me see...

Ah, I forgot I have to close this Palemoon browser... And see if it will work... May be (actually I hope to be) back to complete this post... (but maybe not in a minute, engaged with other issues).

#159 Re: Installation » How2instl TorBrowser in Ascii? NOT frm Stretch bakprts! [PARTLY SOLVED » 2017-06-30 16:16:23

Nope! And it's somewhat similar symptoms.

The download can manually be verified to be correct, but somehow the launcher can't get it that it verifies correctly. Again it downloads good tar.gz, but can't understand that it is good:

mr@gdOv:~/.cache/torbrowser/download$ gpg --verify tor-browser-linux64-7.0.1_en-US.tar.xz.asc tor-browser-linux64-7.0.1_en-US.tar.xz

And that's real paste. That part is similar to already seen at:
< this same topic >
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2701#p2701

However, the GTK window, while it shows similar enscripts, can be at least Ctrl-C killed once I bring it to the foreground (the command torbrowser-launcher) in it's terminal.

What to try next... I think I will even reboot the machine, in case it's some remnant in cache from the previous wrong install...

#160 Re: Installation » How2instl TorBrowser in Ascii? NOT frm Stretch bakprts! [PARTLY SOLVED » 2017-06-30 16:05:00

But give me more time if it works... So I can enjoy Tor a little, first. You, know, I have to shut down Palemoon all the way, else it's bad...

BTW, this is what I got:

So, it this, yes it must be, how jessie-backports are added:
Devuan stable and Skylake (and Kaby Lake?) integrated GPU - backports
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=542

So I'll add:

exactly that line, and with that echo command to what will be my newly created file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.

And I'll do the rest as reads there, and report back. Be it success or failure. I promise. I don't hide things...

For the /etc/apt to be back as previously, it only took removing the ... debian.org/debian jessie-backports ... entry previously introduced. That was all for that part.

This is from my apt-get logs (from some almost five hours ago now...):

# cat LOG_/apt-get_torbrowser-launcher_170630_1050_gdOv.log  | grep -A7 'NEW packages will be installed'

I'll compare them with the known good points from my previous post. I will first take another snapshot of each of the two.

So... Let's now add the right backports repo... Ah, fsmithred suggested jessie-backports. Let me search around the exact line to add it...

#164 Re: Installation » How2instl TorBrowser in Ascii? NOT frm Stretch bakprts! [PARTLY SOLVED » 2017-06-30 15:07:45

Allow me to point the reader again towards right at the start of that Air-Gapped Devuan Install, because I started that topic with taking (I think the right word here is snapshot) snapshots of /var/cache/ and /var/lib/apt.

And I used those snapshots to Air-Gap install my Devuan in my master.

I kept taking such snapshot at every new update today, and by simply comparing those snapshots, along with removing the potentially offending Debian packages (important!), I think I will be able to revert the status that Mr Apt sees and works with in such way as to have a workable system again.

Because the Debian torbrowser-launcher that I installed a few hours ago does appear to be a sore in my system!

So, if I look up these two, one way and the other, here:
# rsync -nav --delete var_lib_apt_170630_1050_gdO/lib/apt/  var_lib_apt_170630_0717_gdO/lib/apt/

then I believe it's pretty obvious I got the right /var/lib/apt/ snapshot that I want to revert to in the archive of one var_lib_apt_170630_0717_gdOv.tar (var_lib_apt_170630_0717_gdO when it is untar'd)!
So I think I, after uninstalling the packages that got installed, all the packages that got installed between those two points in time. And after fixing also the /var/cache, if need be... [So I think] that I will have a consistent system again, and without those unhappy backports...

But does /var/cache need fixing? Let's see:

But btwn these two. The first pair (along with the /var/lib/apt snapshots) holds the different content after: # apt-get update, the second pair the different content after # apt-get upgrade.

Ah, and also important is: I must revert the /etc/apt/ to how it was previous to this potentially costly experiment...

Let's see if I will reclaim my system or be left in un unworkable system... Give me more time.

If you're in jessie and want the version from backports,

apt-get -t jessie-backports install torbrowser-launcher

Nope. Ascii it is. In the topic title as well.

I don't know why it's not in ascii. I would either try the one from jessie-backports or temporarily add ceres sources and pull it from there. More likely, I would just go to the tor site, download the latest version and unpack it in my home directory.

I see... And, let's see if som non-expert hacking can help here...
I'll try and uninstall the Debian torbrowser-launcher and manually, from backup of what:

/var/cache/

and

/var/lib/apt/

cache previously were, and which I kept kind of snapshotting...
From the backups I'll try and revert the state of my system to prior to what it was when I added the stretch-backports to it...
I'm talking about backups as I wrote about, and used for
Air-Gapped Devuan Install, Tentative
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=746
After all, I had recovered, previously, it looks to me successfully, from having had updated my Jessie with stretch... before I figured out that manual Air-Gapped method...

#166 Re: Installation » How2instl TorBrowser in Ascii? NOT frm Stretch bakprts! [PARTLY SOLVED » 2017-06-30 11:37:54

It's not that the download is bad. Nope!

It's something to do with not having verified the good download, for some reason.

Because, in the first place, I didn't have the:

$ gpg --recv-key D1483FA6C3C07136
gpg: key 4E2C6E8793298290: public key "Tor Browser Developers (signing key) <torbrowser@torproject.org>" imported
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1
$

( because I did just a while ago, but after  the previous post. So now I do have that key listed.

And also:

$ gpg --verify tor-browser-linux64-7.0.1_en-US.tar.xz.asc tor-browser-linux64-7.0.1_en-US.tar.xz
gpg: Signature made Mon 12 Jun 2017 17:37:03 UTC

     Subkey fingerprint: A430 0A6B C93C 0877 A445  1486 D148 3FA6 C3C0 7136

it verified correctly.

However, launching tor-browser like I described in the previous post shows just the same message, and Tor doesn't start...

On top of that... the small GTK (probably) window keeps appearing... and even after:

The window "Tor Browser" does not seem to be responding. Do you want to force it to exit by sending the kill signal?

                      -----------       -----------------
                      | Cancel   |       | End Process   |
                      -----------       -----------------

any of that, it's just unkillable...

Any more tries/some-not-too-expert-hacking can be done here?

#167 Re: Installation » How2instl TorBrowser in Ascii? NOT frm Stretch bakprts! [PARTLY SOLVED » 2017-06-30 11:24:56

It says (manually copying):

SIGNATURE VERIFICATION FAILED!

You might be under attack, or there might just be a networking problem. Click Start try the download again.

-----------                             -------------
| Start   |                             | Cancel    |
-----------                             -------------

And restarting, all the 60-70MB, but... (one probably last time, for now):

the same notice in the GTK (or whatever, no that's not QT) little window, appears.

Can there be a manual way to download it?

Because I noticed it wrote:

And now I have to wait at least a little bit longer, because I asked about this also at:

#170 Re: Installation » How2instl TorBrowser in Ascii? NOT frm Stretch bakprts! [PARTLY SOLVED » 2017-06-30 09:46:41

While I'm waiting for any more information, I found:
..is Devuan BTS down? reportbug torbrowser-launcher likely failed for me...
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 8a.en.html

and that is the sole mention of torbrowser at this time in the Lurker search:
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/search/20 … er.en.html
well, there is also the
heads 0.3 released!
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 11.en.html
but it's only a short mention of the same package...

However I don't see there are any ascii-backports, are there? There are jessie-backports, but I'm on Ascii.

Cheers!

I searched but replacing "devuan" (with the quotes) for "debian" returns no results. Instead, after this search (in duckduckgo.com of course):

debian apt-get install torbrowser-launcher

I used what it gave me:
https://wiki.debian.org/TorBrowser
which, on the fact that Ascii is based on Stretch
(
up until recently that has become a little more complicated with the fact that the Testing in Debian is now Buster, see:
AMPROLLA GLITCH: ISSUE SOLVED -- PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … ad.en.html
)
but I thought the tip on wiki.debian.org might still apply, and it reads:apt-get updat

1. If not already done add the Backport repository to your sources.list.

which I did. Like this:
# cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list

I'm not completely sure. And I'll try and exercize patience for up to one half hour, to see if I get any suggestions, and then I'll try and just hit Enter to install all those listed above...

BTW, my Ascii is functioning just fine (well, maybe just a couple of glitches...). I update this one (which is the clone the following) from my Air-Gapped master Ascii Devuan, as per:
Air-Gapped Devuan Install, Tentative
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=746

That method works without any issues, so far.

There is also:

but I'm afraid I can not be 100% sure at this time.

apt-listchanges (3.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  Short summary of the most important changes done since version 3.0 up to 3.3:

  - apt-listchanges was migrated to python3.  The "gtk" frontend now requires
    the python3-gi package to work.

  - The "browser", "xterm-pager", and "xterm-browser" frontends will now try
    to drop root privileges before spawning external commands.  This only works
    when upgrade was initiated from a regular user account with commands like
       sudo|su  apt-get|aptitude  upgrade|install|etc.

  - The way apt-listchanges cooperates with apt was slightly changed; please
    make sure to accept the new version of `/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20listchanges'
    configuration file in case dpkg prompts about the file.

  - apt-listchanges no longer supports deprecated frontends (e.g. "w3m")
    or ancient (i.e. more than about 15 years old) *.deb packages.

 -- Robert Luberda <robert@debian.org>  Mon, 15 Aug 2016 21:55:31 +0200

apt-listchanges (2.87) unstable; urgency=medium

  For better integration with package management system, apt-listchanges
  automatically switches to the non-interactive "text" frontend:
   - when the `-y'/`--assume-yes' option is passed to apt-get
   - or when DEBIAN_FRONTEND environment variable is set to "noninteractive".
  The new behavior can be disabled in the configuration file (or via the
  command-line parameters), refer to apt-listchanges(1) man page for details.

  The "mail" frontend can optionally send e-mails in the HTML format, see the
  description of `--email-format' option in the man page for more information.

  For the sake of consistency the `--all' and `--show_seen' options were
  renamed to `--show-all' and `--show-seen' respectively.

initramfs-tools (0.129) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Some systems that do not support suspend-to-disk (hibernation) will
    require a configuration change to explicitly disable this.

    From version 0.128, the boot code waits for a suspend/resume device
    to appear, rather than checking just once.  If the configured or
    automatically selected resume device is not available at boot time,
    this results in a roughly 30 second delay.

    You should set the RESUME variable in
    /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume or
    /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to one of:

    - auto - select the resume device automatically
    - none - disable use of a resume device
    - UUID=<uuid> - use a specific resume device (by UUID)
    - /dev/<name> - use a specific resume device (by kernel name)

 -- Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>  Thu, 20 Apr 2017 23:21:32 +0100

initramfs-tools (0.121~rc1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * If initramfs-tools is configured to use busybox but it is not
    installed, mkinitramfs will now fail.  Previously it would quietly use
    klibc instead, sometimes producing a broken initramfs.  You may need
    to modify /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf or install busybox when
    upgrading.
  * Support for loop-aes has been removed.  If you use loop-aes encryption
    for the root or /usr filesystem, you will need to switch to cryptsetup.
    See the 'loop-AES extension' section in cryptsetup(8).

linux-latest (76) unstable; urgency=medium

  * From Linux 4.8, several changes have been made in the kernel
    configuration to 'harden' the system, i.e. to mitigate security bugs.
    Some changes may cause legitimate applications to fail, and can be
    reverted by run-time configuration:
    - On most architectures, the /dev/mem device can no longer be used to
      access devices that also have a kernel driver.  This breaks dosemu
      and some old user-space graphics drivers.  To allow this, set the
      kernel parameter: iomem=relaxed
    - The kernel log is no longer readable by unprivileged users.  To
      allow this, set the sysctl: kernel.dmesg_restrict=0

 -- Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>  Sat, 29 Oct 2016 02:05:32 +0100

linux-latest (75) unstable; urgency=medium

  * From Linux 4.7, the iptables connection tracking system will no longer
    automatically load helper modules.  If your firewall configuration
    depends on connection tracking helpers, you should explicitly load the
    required modules.  For more information, see
    <https://home.regit.org/netfilter-en/secure-use-of-helpers/>.

mutt (1.7.0-6) unstable; urgency=medium

  As of result of the switch to gpgme in 1.7.0-2, all pgp_* commands that
  reference a pgp/gnupg command are now ignored (unless crypt_use_gpgme is
  manually set to 'no'). If you had an --encrypt-to in those commands, to
  encrypt outgoing mail to yourself, then you will have to set
  pgp_encrypt_self=yes to maintain the same behavior.

  Starting from this version of mutt, $locale is not an option anymore, you will
  have to use $attribution_locale instead, which hich controls the translation
  of the "On {date}, {user} wrote" reply string. More details
  on https://www.mail-archive.com/mutt-dev@mutt.org/msg11544.html.

  As of this version mailto_allow will also include In-Reply-To, Cc and
  References by default, to change it set mailto_allow in your ~/.muttrc.

 -- Antonio Radici <antonio@debian.org>  Sun, 25 Sep 2016 08:48:10 +0100

mutt (1.7.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  Starting from this version, we enable 'crypt_use_gpgme=yes' by default.
  The GPGME delegates all crypto support to gnupg, which is designed to hold
  your crypto data securely.

  The drawback is that inline signatures are no longer supported in favour of
  PGP/MIME. If you need to sign your email with inline signatures please use
  'set crypt_use_gpgme=no' in your .muttrc.

  To solve #828751 we also had to add '--pinentry-mode loopback' to all commands
  in gpg.rc, that breaks compatibility with gpg v1, if you are still using gpg
  v1 please remove that option from the invocations of the command in
  /etc/Muttrc.d/gpg.rc

 -- Antonio Radici <antonio@debian.org>  Wed, 07 Sep 2016 21:02:51 +0100

mutt (1.6.2-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  The mutt package now incorporates the NeoMutt patchset, which includes a
  number of important security, performance and stability fixes. It also
  includes a number of UI improvements and a plethora of new features,
  including many previously shipped by Debian. Among these is the
  functionality of both the mutt-patched (sidebar, NNTP) and the mutt-kz
  (notmuch) packages, that are now both obsolete and replaced by the mutt
  package. More information about NeoMutt can be found on its website:
  http://www.neomutt.org/

  The sidebar patch has been polished up and merged upstream in what will
  eventually be Mutt 1.7.0 -- and then backported again by NeoMutt. For
  compatibility with upstream's default and since there is no mutt-patched
  package anymore, the sidebar is now off by default. Moreover, this new
  version renamed the sidebar's configuration options. To keep the old
  behavior, use this in your .muttrc:
    set mail_check_stats=yes
    set sidebar_visible=yes
    set sidebar_format="%B%*  %S%?N?(%N)?%?F?[%F]?"
    set sidebar_indent_string=" "
  and optionally:
    set sidebar_folder_indent=yes
    set sidebar_short_path=yes

  The "file_charset" option has been renamed to "attach_charset", as part of
  its inclusion upstream.

vim (2:8.0.0022-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  Vim now ships with a defaults.vim file which, when the user has no vimrc,
  enables some options that have historically been disabled by default.  This
  is described in more detail at ":help defaults.vim".

  Since defaults.vim is loaded when the user's vimrc would typically be
  loaded, it will override any settings in /etc/vim/vimrc(.local).  In order
  to disable the loading of defaults.vim, add

    let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1

  to /etc/vim/vimrc(.local).

 -- James McCoy <jamessan@debian.org>  Tue, 04 Oct 2016 20:28:02 -0400

vim (2:7.4.2330-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  The Python language bindings have been switched from python2 to python3.
  If you have plugins/addons that use Python, they may need to be updated to
  support python3.

  Similarly, python3 specific packages may need to be installed to re-enable
  plugins (e.g., python-powerline is replaced by python3-powerline) or plugin
  features.

because I wondered what to do when I couldn't use neither keyboard nor mouse in my openbox sessions...

In short, manual Air-Gap Devuan Install can be done.

I am posting this with a clone of my Air-Gapped Devuan.

I hope there will be other users who will find this useful

Cheers!

I need to return the reader to the
Air-Gapped Devuan Install, Tentative
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=746#2611
topic now.

Air-Gapping Devuan manually like this is something not too trivial that I am almost proud to have accomplished...

It is IMO something good, and I wanted to share it with other Devuan users.

An I hope this sans-dbus post also clears a few aspects...

Regards!

#175 Re: Installation » Air-Gapped Devuan Install, Tentative » 2017-06-27 19:03:45

Pls. look up the dbus topic that I sent you at the end of the previous post, because it's twin aspect, but both are needed for understanding of what, and how, it happened.

This post could be a continuation after the second post of:
sans-dbus, Questions, Tips and Tricks on its Implementation
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=761#p2606
That topic and this Air-Gapped Devuan Install that you're reading, are intertwined, because of the circumstances of my installation...

But I decided to return the reader from that dbus-aspect-stressed-in-it topic to here, because... Because Air-Gapping, this manual non-expert hacking kind, works in Devuan, and I'm happy that I made it.
(All posted three days after having been written.)
Sorry for all the inconveniences, but all of this is not so very trivial...
---

Without some of these I would not have X. Which ones are indispensable, and exactly what each single one of these does, I don't know in much detail. But my guesswork might prove good enough...
The loop from the previous post reached this iteration:
apt-get install xserver-xorg
which I accepted (I forgot to say how the "read FAKE;" in my scripts does nothing, just wait for you to either hit Enter to continue with what it is in, say a loop, or to issue Ctrl-C.

And, importantly, the "ask" is a function taken from Mendel Cooper's Advanced Bash Scripting Guide. I put a line:

source ~/.bashrc.ask

in both /root's and in /home/mr's ~/.bashrc

and this is it:
$ cat ~/.bashrc.ask

function ask()
{
    echo -n "$@" '[y/n] ' ; read ans
    case "$ans" in
        y*|Y*) return 0 ;;
        *) return 1 ;;
    esac
}

But I was saying, that I accepted:
apt-get install xserver-xorg

[y/n] y

# 

(see how the prompt returned there? it was all in a long for loop until now, the xterm was the last entry)

Because what follows next is some removing of packages that, as best I understand, very very likely inextricably (at this time) depend on dbus.

This is how it went in the clone, one day and a half ago:

See the timing there. Now. first, more rsync-updating my Air-Gapped master, and then another loop, but a loop for removing those dbus-dependent packages.

However I made another mistake. I lost my real extended_states file.

Because I issued:
# rsync -av --delete var_lib_apt_170623_2336_gdOv/lib/apt/  /var/lib/apt/

sending incremental file list
./
daily_lock
extended_states

sent 41,092 bytes  received 62 bytes  82,308.00 bytes/sec
total size is 147,305,546  speedup is 3,579.37

And I did make a few saner choices than in the clone... Will Apt now not know about those and think it is all as it was in the clone? .... Aaarghhh... I hope this mistake is not so serious.

Anyway:
# rsync -av --delete var_cache_170623_2347_gdOv/cache/  /var/cache/

However, I should not start removing yet, because before that, which happened:

...
-rw-r--r-- 1 mr mr  1252 2017-06-24 00:02 keep-or-remove_list_01.ls-1_REMOVE.ls-1
...

I had done some updating in the clone, which of course I do with rsync'ing here in the master, not with apt-get update'ing.

Here in this Air-Gapped. I do with rsync'ing the equivalent of:

-rw-r--r-- 1 mr   mr     272 2017-06-23 23:29 apt-get_update_170623_2329_gdOv.log

and such.

And after that I can run "apt-get upgrade" in Air-Gapped as if I was in the clone:

-rw-r--r-- 1 mr   mr    5305 2017-06-23 23:32 apt-get_upgrade_170623_2329_gdOv.log

Can I now, since:

-rw-r--r-- 1 mr   mr    4193 2017-06-23 23:32 apt-get_dist-upgrade_170623_2332_gdOv.log

that was what I ran in the clone at this stage, try and run:

apt-get upgrade |& tee /Cmn/LOG_/apt-get_upgrade_$(date +%y%m%d_%H%M)_$(hostname)

?

And I ran it:
# apt-get upgrade |& tee /Cmn/LOG_/apt-get_upgrade_$(date +%y%m%d_%H%M)_$(hostname)

And, before I tell you that I think I can try that, I need to tell you that it diverges from what it looked like in the clone, where it was still pulling in dbus, as evince, cups, firefox-esr, and other were still in there... Hmmmhhh...

Let's try accepting that with Enter:

Abort.

And I had to abort it here too. See the dbus, the consolekit, the firefox-esr...

But not so much more... Remember it was much worse previously!

and it is made out of the aborted dist-upgrade above, just picked up some, and left out some other.
And let me see what the for loop I ran with it in the histories that I saved from the two terminals that I ran those command in in the clone...

Hmmhh... I actually ran that one later.

I ran another loop first, this one:

# for i in $(cat keep-or-remove_list.ls-1_00-REMOVE); do echo apt-get remove $i;  ask; if [ "$?" == 0 ] ; then apt-get remove $i |& tee BAK_/apt-get_remove_${i}_$(date +%y%m%d_%H%M)_$(hostname) ; read FAKE ; fi ; done ;

and it is based on this file:
# cat ../LOG_add_/keep-or-remove_list.ls-1_00-REMOVE

at-spi2-core autopoint consolekit cpp-4.9 cups-bsd cups-client cups-common dbus dictionaries-common emacsen-common firefox-esr geoip-database geoip-database-extra giblib1 gnome-icon-theme-symbolic hunspell-en-us i965-va-driver iamerican ibritish ienglish-common ispell

And that was at the time that the timestamps show:

...
-rw-r--r-- 1 mr   mr    2520 2017-06-23 23:46 apt-get_remove_at-spi2-core_170623_2345_gdOv

So, do I need to update my /var/cache/ and my /var/lib/apt/ ?

I have those, rsync-updated those, shown further above. They did install of course.

And the rest of the removals went fine (but I didn't remove geoip-database. Did remove geoip-database-extra.

Abort.

Maybe because liberoffice, which does not have to be dbus-dependent (just like firefox until recently didn't have to be, and certainly firefox-esr does not have to be, but I fear it is
(
however, I compile palemoon without dbus, hah! hah!:
Palemoon installation from source

), but is probably installed with dbus dependency, was still installed?

Anyway, those have mostly been removed.

is such a beauty to me.

Mind you that we are in Air-Gapped.

My fears that I wouldn't be able to accomplish Air-Gap Devuan updating are all but gone.

But I have to follow what I did in the clone. I have no alternatives, but only the archives that I got in in the clone.

# cat keep-or-remove_list_02.ls-1_KEEP.ls-1

libgettextpo-dev libgettextpo0 libgif4 libglade2-0 libglib2.0-data libhsqldb1.8.0-java libhtml-form-perl libhttp-daemon-perl libjasper1 libkpathsea6 libllvm3.5 libopenjpeg5 libpam-cap libpaper-utils libpng12-0 libpoppler-glib8 libpoppler46 libpth20 libsasl2-modules libx11-protocol-perl powermgmt-base python-wstools qt5-gtk-platformtheme qttranslations5-l10n rarian-compat rename tcpd util-linux-locales vdpau-va-driver 

And the loop is:

# for i in $(cat LOG_add_/keep-or-remove_list_02.ls-1_KEEP.ls-1); do echo apt-get install $i;  ask; if [ "$?" == 0 ] ; then apt-get install $i |& tee LOG_/apt-get_install_${i}_$(date +%y%m%d_%H%M)_$(hostname) ; read FAKE ; fi ; done ;

While I could try "--fix-missing", I searched, and really don't have this packaged downloaded... Hmmhh..

And there's neither a way for me to (easily and quickly) recover it from the clone, where I just checked, it is installed... So I shouldn't have removed it in this master... Argh... Hope it will be easily fixed...

But that won't be so much to fix...

If the system is workable, I'll clone it as is, because it's the other work pertaining to air-gapping that is a lot of work and which I have done already for it.

I am not going online with that clone anymore.

In the next post, I'll use "--fix-missing".
