EDIT: if you're running chimaera then I would recommend iwd instead:
# apt install iwd orphan-sysvinit-scripts wpa_supplicant- connman- dhclient-
# cp /usr/share/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/iwd /etc/init.d/
# update-rc.d iwd defaults
Then use iwctl to configure your wireless connection and add this to /etc/iwd/main.conf:
[General]
EnableNetworkConfiguration=true
And add a network configuration stanza to /var/lib/iwd/<name of SSID>.psk, for example:
[IPv4]
Address=192.168.0.23
Netmask=255.255.255.0
Gateway=192.168.0.1
The wlan0 lines can be removed from /etc/network/interfaces once iwd is configured.
]]>auto wlan0
and then manually edit /etc/network/interfaces and add it after devuan launch.
Then after
ifup wlan0
network is back...otherwise if I leave it at start of devuan it shows me an error about already configured network
I must say I'm quite a newbie so any help is welcome
iwlwifi no beacon heard and the time event is over already
then stopped at last...Nevertheless I went further first by installing consolekit and associated libpam
apt-get install consolekit libpam-ck-connector
It went on flawlessly uninstalling some other packages by the way but as soon as I uninstalled elogind
apt-get remove elogind
I lost my wifi network. I had to manually edit the network configuration following devuan instructions
nano /etc/network/interfaces
auto wlan0
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid myssid
wpa-psk mypassphrase
then save with Ctrl+X and then
ifup wlan0
Network was back
Concerning pmount and spaceman it works great so thank you again !
apt --no-install-recommends install <package>
If you want to avoid installing elogind by mistake, you could pin it by creating a file in /etc/apt/preferences.d/ with the following:
Package: *elogind
Pin: version *
Pin-Priority: -1
### ctrl-alt-F2 and then log in as root.
/etc/init.d/slim stop
apt remove elogind libpam-elogind consolekit+ libpam-ck-connector+
That replaced elogind with consolekit and removed a bunch of other stuff, including gvfs, udisks2 and network-manager. I replaced network-manager with connman and set connman-ui-gtk to start with the desktop.
apt install connman connman-ui connman-gtk
The user can no longer shutdown or reboot from the desktop. I assume that mounting of removable media is also gone. I don't know if there are fixes for this.
An alternative approach would be to do a minimal install, switch to consolekit first, and then start adding things.
]]>I just couldn't find the answer to my question on the forum!
For sure not everybody is willing to remove elogind but Linux is choice so I'd like to use consolekit 2 instead as advertised in devuan chimaera release notes.
Problem is even when I launch xfce4 with parameters
startxfce4 --with-ck-launch
elogind is still running in the background...
So removing elogind crashes everything
But it is said that both ck2 and elogind are mutually exclusive.
So is there a step by step guide to do it post installation?
Thank you in advance
