#1 Re: Other Issues » How to mirror ascii? » 2017-07-26 17:14:42
From what I can tell the entire project pivots on amprolla3. So mirroring and apt-file and probably lots of other stuff depends on amprolla3. And also inrfastructure setup/config.
In summary: infrastructure followed by amprolla3.
#2 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] apt-file search not working » 2017-07-26 05:04:27
Here's a robust workaround for the time being
Its robustness was short-lived as that option to apt-file no longer exists.
#3 Re: Other Issues » HDD thrashes when file moved to trash or other location » 2017-07-22 01:35:41
If I understand you, you're saying that you experience this when using a filemanager? What happens at a terminal to move the same file? If you're using a filemanager, that could be doing other "things". If you're not using a filemanager there are other possible problems.
ext4 tuning can be tweaked or at least you can look at the current settings, tune2fs, but usually the defaults are adequate.
Sometimes those defaults are not adequate.
There are some other hdd kernel tunables but I don't recall them all. Also check the ext4 filesystem defaults. I don't know where those are on Devuan.
I recall fiddling with this for a external usb drive and found better performance:
vm.swappinessThat's a sysctl setting of the kernel, FYI.
#4 Re: Other Issues » How to mirror ascii? » 2017-07-22 00:36:21
From that it looks like rsync will not work. I tried amprolla and it just gets 404s.
I'll keep chipping away at it and eventually figure it out.

Stopped, disabled and removed and my X desktop's fine. Thanks for that!
#6 Re: Other Issues » How to mirror ascii? » 2017-07-21 23:37:44
Maybe `debmirror` is the right tool for that packages job?
That looks interesting and I also don't see ascii dirs/files anywhere so not sure where they are either.

From a link on the download page: https://files.devuan.org/MIRRORS.txt
Should I see ascii directory/files there?

I don't need to have a gdm so I want to disable and remove it. Is that easy to do? I don't want to try too much and make the system unusable.
#9 Re: Other Issues » Broadcom BCM43142 driver issue » 2017-07-21 00:39:00
I don't own a broadcom43 anymore (yay!) and it's been too long but I would check debian bugs to see if anything similar is reported.
#10 Re: Other Issues » How to mirror ascii? » 2017-07-21 00:23:50
Seems that I will need to mirror debian and then use amprolla to get an ascii mirror. Is there a plan by anyone anywhere to do a mirror like this?

What channel do US truckers use to chat, 10-4 .... not fourteen
How about 6? 10-4=6
But 10-4 is how you say "okay". It's not a channel or frequency.
Usually followed by "good buddy".

Only one bot has gotten through the current system in over 6 months so it works quite well.
The important metric is how many real people have gotten through or not gotten through. You might think I'm joking but that's the metric that should be more important than spammers. Not to say that preventing bots is bad but we must keep our people first.
And IMO it's less annoying than those picture captchas that you have to cycle through. And politics is a no-go . . .
Almost everything is less annoying than any of the captchas.
I sent email to google asking for a 1099 form since they asked me to do work for them. No reply. I will contact the IRS next.
#13 Re: Other Issues » Will there be support for the eoma68-a20? for devuan ascii/ceres? » 2017-07-18 18:24:30
I am guessing that it would be hard to answer this question since the hardware is not released yet.
But they sell a card with Devuan pre-installed so it sounds like the answer is "yes".
#14 Re: News & Announcements » Devuan packages explorer » 2017-07-18 18:13:11
Is this only for installed packages? Or all packages? New to Devuan (and debian).

The idea is to make them not esoteric and also not time sensitive.

Thanks for trying . . .

This one is getting lost in 'translation grammar'.
Not sure what that means.
The last one is the best, On the right track but no cigar quite yet.
I'm glad I only have to register once then.

@golinux thanks for that, and I am glad to see that things are active.
@sgage good to know about DIY subforum. I don't use IRC. Is there a IRC log that's searchable?
#18 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED]Package updates in ascii? » 2017-07-17 21:59:40
Somewhere on here is a howto on just that subject. A simple search ought to find it, or poke around in Documentation or DIY...
Not sure we are talking about the same thing. Here's my question in another way:
* What steps do the Devuan maintainers take to create it from Debian?
* What is involved in those steps?
* How much is automated and how much requires hands on?
A comment above mentions that ascii has not yet merged -security or -updates. So from that I conclude that it's not automated and so that's why I ask "How much work is involved?".
Maybe we are talking about the same thing but I don't understand your reply if that's the case and especially not the DIY suggestion.
If I could DIY I wouldn't need Devuan, right?
#19 Re: Forum Feedback » Registration questions are questionable. » 2017-07-17 20:20:41
Ok fair enough:
- what linux distro forced to use systemd?
- what init system is the most widely used but also the most despised?
- What's the first name of the kernel maintainer?
These any good at all???
#20 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED]Package updates in ascii? » 2017-07-17 19:57:53
Don't have much of a feel for this project yet. Along this same subject I wonder how much hands on is required to make a debian release into a devuan release? Has most the heavy lifting been done now that Devuan1.0 is here?

It asked me what the default kernel was for Devuan. I answered 4.9.0 and it said that was wrong. First thing I do on any distro I try is build a kernel specifically for my hardware. I have no idea what default is. So look in /boot and there is vmlinuz-4.9.0-3-amd64.
Is that the answer? Next question was file manager for xfce? No idea, don't know xfce. Quick search solved that one.

I need to have a local copy of all packages that comprise ascii. What's the most efficient way (for the mirror server) to do so?
I only need packages for amd64 archictecture.
Should I just use lftp or rsync?
I am new to Devuan (and have not really done much with debian previously). I say this so you have an idea of who you're dealing with. But not new to linux.
