@Micronaut

You could try using su - in terminal avoid using sudo , then if still out press CTRL+ALT+F1 and you will be able to login as cli from there check your  sudo dmesg

Mostly bottom lines for errors , you may post here if you see something unusual.

have you tried user interface / enable advanced settings (YES) / Retroarch / settings / core / allow core to change video driver (OFF) ?

This is all that comes from the top of my head smile

#4 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Skype, snap and how to run on Devuan? » 2024-06-01 08:18:01

Well then i have modified in earlier message the command to save the list as skype.list
and whener you get an update you will have to remove the skype-stable.list

after some more .... crazy ideas ... you could create a dpkg hook to remove new skype list...

Using cat so it can create the files in the right places you should use sudo or be root

Creating a hook to run after running dpkg

cat <<EOF > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90skypehook
DPkg::Post-Invoke { "skypehook"; };
EOF

Let`s add a little bash script that will check if skype is installed and if the skype-stable.list exists

cat <<EOF > /usr/bin/skypehook
#!/bin/bash
if dpkg -l | grep -q '^ii  skypeforlinux'; then
if [ -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list ]; then
rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list
else     
exit 0
fi
else
exit 0
fi
EOF

now if you would reinstall skypeforlinux should auto remove skype-stable.list

Let`s fix this
IPV6 works , no issues just copy, paste, enter the next 5 commands

sudo apt install apt-transport-https

curl -fsSL https://repo.skype.com/data/SKYPE-GPG-KEY | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/skype.gpg

echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://deb.rug.nl/ppa/mirror/repo.skype.com/deb stable main" \
| sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype.list > /dev/null

sudo apt update

sudo apt install skypeforlinux

https://deb.rug.nl/ppa/mirror/repo.skype.com/deb
PS: WHEN YOU INSTALL SKYPE IT MIGHT CHANGE THE /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list  make sure it is the link provided and not repo.skype.com

The issue is With Skype repo ---- No IPV6, that means you should disable your IPV6 usage ,

I don`t see the bother for now we can still install by the provided method untill maybe microsoft will be able to add ipv6 support to the repo smile

#7 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Skype, snap and how to run on Devuan? » 2024-05-31 20:03:24

wdq

Just maybe .... is not able to load ipv6 and you probably need -> apt-transport-https

in the meantime

for whomever wants a quick and dirty install

copy paste enter smile

wget https://repo.skype.com/latest/skypeforlinux-64-insider.deb && sudo apt install ./skypeforlinux-64-insider.deb

WOW , i think i am getting old , tbh some users should say thank you and keep some of their ideas .

@fsmithred you have all my respect , i know the amount of work and time and not being close to the loved ones to write the scripts that others are using to create their distros.

I had the pleasure to write my own scripts and only the debugging and testing, until you make it work with no issues kills you .

So @OUI you need to understand sometimes developers will not just respond and be polite, if you would get me in the mood of some script not working i wold probably go insane .

Still i know you are a good person and everyone likes to help each other ....

Last but not least ---- Devuan is Debian with blocked systemD packages, logically the more and more systemD gets integrated in everything and other coders are changing their programs acordingly, so yes Devuan will go on it`s way .... with no SystemD if that will break some programs .... will see, but in the same time is our duty, the community, to fight and find ways to make everything work and help others in the process.

Thank You Devuan For everything you have offered !!!

netinst works fine for me , you are probably skipping an important step , i got that before by jumping apt configuration ..

#13 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Can't figure out how to play DVDs » 2023-05-22 04:33:02

wdq

As far as I remember .....

Support for DVD menus has been removed in mpv. So disable the option to use DVD menus in Preferences -> Drives.

If it still doesn't work, select mplayer as multimedia engine in Preferences -> General.

Give that a GO ....

Wifi problems .... hmmm you should of said that from the start pick the flavour and tell us what's wrong with your wifi, there are plenty of fish in this sea to solve your wifi and make new friends !
If you could tell me what wifi card you are using I can make sure I will include the drivers in the next FluXuan release.

God I can't see right, there it is where always has been.
Just read a little and use the one you like.
Fluxuan uses fluxbox
Miyo uses openbox and i3
Looking around Michael I saw is with a modified JWM
https://www.devuan.org/os/devuan-distros
No need for install uninstall programs there are so many minimal.

#18 Re: Installation » devuan fresh installation on HP laptop fails to load graphical desktop » 2021-03-10 05:20:25

wdq

Some of the drivers will need non-free firmware so you can if not already

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Add at the end of each line

contrib non-free

Then

apt update && apt upgrade -y 

As of not connecting to ssh server , are you using a router and you are connected with wifi if so ,
Set a static ip from advanced options of your wicd or network manager or whatever you use then go to your router and forward / open port 22 for that ip

Hope this helps , enjoy using Devuan!!

#20 Re: Other Issues » Etertics radio distro NO SOUND... help! » 2021-01-09 04:12:19

I would try a

apt install --reinstall pulseaudio pavucontrol

Then open pavucontrol check if sound is muted usually it is and check witch card is on the output and what on input ,
Good luck

Hey ulysses_ sorry for the really late reply but as key worker I really have no time to do anything during these harsh times .
As a reply make a bash script put it in /sbin then edit /etc/sudoers and add under %sudo line
%sudo ALL(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/yourscript.sh
Make it executable chmod +x yourscript.sh
Then just add it in fluxbox startup
exec sudo /sbin/yourscript.sh

It will run with no password

Hi ShorTie and welcome you can install FluXuan with the Refracta installer that you can find in the right-click menu.
I orderd a Raspberry pi on ebay and I am waiting for delivery so I can build a FluXuan version for it I will just need a bit of time , Thank you

#23 Re: Devuan » The point of Devuan? » 2020-05-17 04:19:51

wdq

Yes my opinion is that devuan is a systemd-free debian and much more .
Just looking at other distro's you can see how gnome is getting more and more space, memory and bugs all I wanted was a system that just works when you see the problems you get with the damned systemd you just say thank you devuan.
Even if I am still at my begining of creating and programing I am very happy that devuan has a great community here .
I was not a Irc person but I will start joining the channel and see what is the atmosphere there , all I can say is that on this forums is all perfect

#24 Re: Installation » Internet/network connections.. » 2020-05-17 04:05:02

Try ifconfig -a and check maybe the name is not wlan0
And you need to change it .

#25 Re: Installation » Trouble getting internet to work. » 2020-05-17 03:55:46

wdq

I believe is a driver problem and or not installed correctly so please:

Get a live cd , copy the drivers from the live in your installed  system restart, voila .... should work like a charm.

And from my experience I would use apt to install deb packages

Apt-get install ./file-name

and you don't have to stress about gdebi.
Hope it helps!
