#1 Other Issues » LAMP stack for Devuan? » 2020-05-11 21:32:56

Is there a LAMP install for Devuan ? It would install a server, DB and PHP that I could use for learning, development, and testing on my local network. Do I install all the components individually or is there a package that could do it in one swoop?

Thanks

#4 Hardware & System Configuration » SDHC SD card in Devuan » 2019-06-18 23:40:53

Devuan can read an older SD card in my laptop's internal SD card reader. But when I try an SDHC I card it does "see" it, sudo fdisk -l does not list it. I've tried a lot of modprobe commands recommended on forums but nothing has worked. Maybe the reader...my laptop is too old, but I'd like to try. The only mention of it on my system seems to be when I run $ sudo dmesg | grep sdhci. Any ideas or need more info please let me know.

$ lspci | grep Ricoh

sdhci                  40960  1 sdhci_pci
mmc_core              118784  2 sdhci,sdhci_pci

The $ sudo dmesg | grep sdhci output is very long so I'll give a representative snip:

#5 Other Issues » A Way To Make a Bootable USB from an Iso file in Devuan » 2018-10-25 21:45:30

Hi,

I was looking for a bootable USB maker where you can use a .iso to make a bootable USB. In Windows it would be an .exe called "Rufus" for example. Looked in Synaptic but couldn't find one. I'm using Devuan GNU/Linux ascii. Would prefer not to use dd(?)

Thanks

I was experimenting with Okular, a KDE document viewer. It has a feature where it will read the PDF in a voice. But that feature is greyed-out. I think I need something called qt-speech but I can find it in Synaptic. Is the a way to get this a hopefully use the speech feature in Okular. Thanks

#10 Re: Other Issues » Looking for recent Version of Inkscape » 2018-03-19 23:56:14

I'll comment out backports like it was by default.  New version of Devuan has more recent Inkscape, thanks for help.

#11 Re: Other Issues » Looking for recent Version of Inkscape » 2018-03-15 17:35:48

No only Inkscape and dependencies is what I'd install if available. No major thing if not available but would be nice...

#12 Re: Other Issues » Looking for recent Version of Inkscape » 2018-03-15 17:13:37

So in  /etc/apt/sources.list  I assume I uncomment,

deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-backports main

I did that and updated.

$ cat  /etc/apt/sources.list
## package repositories
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie main 
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-updates main 
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-security main 
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-backports main

## source repositories
#deb-src http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie main 
#deb-src http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-updates main 
#deb-src http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-security main 
#deb-src http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-backports main 

deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /
deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/debian/stable/ /

In Synaptic Package Manager see two new entries:

Not Automatic: jessie-backports (auto.mirror.devuan.org)
jessie-backports  (auto.mirror.devuan.org)

I don't see a newer version of InkScape in Synaptic when I seach for it. Did I do it correctly?

Thanks.

Coming from Ubuntu if I want try to get a more recent version of a program than what's in Synaptic, I try to find a ppa [Personal Package Archive] for it. Usually it works and I can use recent version that might have bug fixes etc. In Devuan Jessie the default version for InkScape is .48 i think they are up .9x now. I wondered if there's a way I could get a more recent version?

Also I wasn't sure about this so wanted to ask...can I use a .deb or a repository from Debian? Or does Devuan need a .deb and repositories tweaked specifically for it?

Super stable distro, thank you for making it available.

#14 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Help With Sudo and Asking For passwords When necessary » 2018-03-05 22:29:28

I got the "action" I like. So open a program like Synaptic Package Manager and it overtly asks for password, same if I try to access my Windows partition that's conveniently added to the desktop- it asks for the PW.

During the install there's an install step that opens a window regarding sudo options (it's not the first window mentioning sudo - i.e. not the one early-on in the install [where I check that I want to use sudo] but about mid-way thru the install). If I remember it has 3 check boxes with one I think checked by default "sudo only for logout" or something like that is checked. I unchecked the default and checked the top-most 2 check boxes. Then I got that "action". Not sure exactly what configs checking those boxes invoked but it worked.

You're correct. Logging out then in and now sudo works. Thank you.

What about my second question if possible? Should I start a new thread? One reason I liked Devuan vs. other distros I tried is that it asked for passwords when I tried to access my Windows partition. But this new install does not. Also maybe related not matter what distro if I open the Synaptics Package Manager I'll get asked for the password. Strangely it just opens without a password. Previous install of Devuan asked for passwords in all cases, but it's not doing this now. I don't understand what changeed or how to fix it.

I did do:

# adduser devuan sudo

I do not know if this was necessary. But:

devuan@devuan:~$ sudo apt-get install etherape
[sudo] password for devuan:
devuan is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.

How do I use sudo?

also:

I want the "action" that if I open Synaptics Installer or click to open my windows partition devuan will ask for the password.

It is not doing that. It just opens Synaptics or takes me to window partition without asking for a password. I don't understand this. With a previous Devuan install if I ried anything it would ask for a password. New install it's not doing that now..

cat /etc/issue
Devuan GNU/Linux 1

Thanks
