Good. Now what is the output of "uname -m"? On my machine:

[6] bryan: uname -m
x86_64

If it turns out you have a 64 bit machine like mine, then I think you need to either get a 64 bit version of your file or install a multiarch capability - i.e the files and libraries needed to support 32 bit code on a 64 bit machine.

Good luck

Clearlooks (see screenshot) makes a difference. Now the bars are really narrow.

Looks like things are probably as good as they're going to get, so I think I'll mark this as solved (sorta).

Thanks for the replies.
@ralph.ronnquist: I don't have nftables installed.
@Head_on_a_Stick: I installed ebtables and arptables, then updated etc-alternatives per your suggestion. No luck.

FWIW, while running on ascii, I did not have ebtables or arptables installed. Things worked just fine without them. I suspect that iptables-legacy for beowulf is not really bit-for-bit the same as the iptables available in ascii. Is there an "oldstable" for devuan that would allow me to purge beowulf iptables, arptables, and ebtables, then install the version of iptables available there?

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm pretty sure I've seen screenshots here.What is the right way to upload one? At any rate, looking thru ~/.config/xfce4/panel/, I don't see anything to adjust size. The fatness seems to apply to all bars. My cpu, mem, and swap displays are all fat.

Thanks again,

Thanks for the replies. My panel settings are unchanged from what I was using in ascii. I think it has something to do with xfce4-panel 4.12.2-1 installed as part of beowulf. So I'm going to check over there and see what I find.

Thanks again,

Hi Monti,

caveat: The .deb files for Libreoofice provided by Devuan differ somewhat from those supplied by Librefoffice. So if you currently have the Devuan packages installed, it would be a good idea to purge them before installing the native Libreoffice packages for the first time.

[edit] Also, this will prevent an inadvertent Devuan install attempt when their Libreoffice packages are updated.

The two tarballs that you get from the Libreooffice download site currently are:

LibreOffice_6.4.2_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz
LibreOffice_6.4.2_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-US.tar.gz

They untar into the ./LibreOffice_6.4.2.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/ and ./LibreOffice_6.4.2.2_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-US subdirectories in the current directory.

gview ./LibreOffice_6.4.2.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/readmes/README_en-US and follow the directions.

cd into the help pack DEBS directory and repeat.

FWIW, here's the script I use to do the download:

[8] bryan: cat ~/bin/getlo
#!/bin/bash
# getlo - get libreoffice and builtin help pack

[ $# -eq 1 ] && rev=$1 || rev=5.3.1
wget http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/${rev}/deb/x86_64/LibreOffice_${rev}_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz
wget http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/${rev}/deb/x86_64/LibreOffice_${rev}_Linux_x86-64_deb_helppack_en-US.tar.gz
wait

# End getlo

Let me know how it goes.

FWIW, I find that wicd *does* leave uncommented /etc/network/interfaces entries alone. It has its own idiosyncracies, but that's not one of them.

FWIW, I found a link to my previous version here.

I downloaded it with wget and installed with dpkg -i. Works a treat.

It's the first thing that comes up when I google "netis".

You might look at the netis AC1200 dual band (model WF2190), based on the RealTec 8821AU. It supports .11ac and USB 3. The driver is not yet in the kernel, so far as I know, but you can download and compile it here:

If I remember correctly, I got the device from Newegg.

Hope this is helpful.
