I tried doing the usual apt-get install and update and cannot reach the devuan servers.
#2 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] man display nothing with "line ?/?" after recent updates » 2021-06-21 12:07:06
I probably encountered a bug in 2018 (eg: Debian, bug #890861) https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/426204/195770
The temporary solution is to add
export MAN_DISABLE_SECCOMP=1to my .profile
It can possibly be related to apparmor as there are people reporting apparmor breaking man, e.g.

I am running Devuan GNU/Linux 3 (beowulf) x86_64 with the followings:
Kernel: 4.9.0-6-amd64
Shell: bash 5.0.3
DE: Xfce
WM: bspwm
Terminal: terminator
And every package has been recently updated but today I found out that the manual page command "man" has some problem, i.e. no content of manual is displayed with just blank content and a status line saying, e.g. for the ls command:
Manual page ls(1) line ?/? (END) (press h for help or q to quit)
for a
man man | wc, the result is:
man: can't execute preconv: Operation not permitted
man: can't execute tbl: Operation not permitted
man: can't execute col: Operation not permitted
groff: couldn't exec troff: Operation not permitted
man: command exited with status 4: (cd /usr/share/man && /usr/lib/man-db/zsoelim) | (cd /usr/share/man && /usr/lib/man-db/manconv -f UTF-8:ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8//IGNORE) | (cd /usr/share/man && preconv -e UTF-8) | (cd /usr/share/man && tbl) | (cd /usr/share/man && nroff -mandoc -rLL=80n -rLT=80n -Tutf8)

I found a similar bug for man-db package on a Ubuntu 2018 bug report page:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1778684
$>strace -f -o man.trace -s 1024 man manresults in:
man: command exited with status 4: (cd /usr/share/man && /usr/lib/man-db/zsoelim) | (cd /usr/share/man && /usr/lib/man-db/manconv -f UTF-8:ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8//IGNORE) | (cd /usr/share/man && preconv -e UTF-8) | (cd /usr/share/man && tbl) | (cd /usr/share/man && nroff -mandoc -rLL=80n -rLT=80n -Tutf8)
I can attach the output file of the above strace command if need.
P.s. What I have amended in my system is also adding /etc/default/grub.d/apparmor.cfg which eliminated the startup error message of apparmor daemon (content of apparmor.cfg:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="$GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT apparmor=1 security=apparmor"And I also installed 3 apparmor packages: apparmor-utils apparmor-profiles apparmor-profiles-extra
#4 Desktop and Multimedia » Xsession- parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied) » 2020-01-22 14:55:08

Yesterday I updated the /etc/apt/sources.list to ASCII 2.1 with slim (I actually run bspwm), and I encountered this bug:
With xinit (version 1.3.4-3+b1)
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=856351
In normal login screen and on console /dev/tty1 trying to
run "
xinit -- :4" fails with
Fatal server error: (EE) parse_vt_settings: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (Permission denied)
"
startx -- :4" works as expected. Wonder why xinit tries /dev/tty0
e.g. instead of /dev/tty1?

Thanks for your reply.
I updated sources.list from those on the Devuan ASCII DVD default to the recommended lists on the website.
Emacs 25 can be installed now.
#6 Hardware & System Configuration » WPA cannot install in ASCII - need the wpa_supplicant.conf file » 2018-10-07 05:27:42

Hi forum member,
Which package should I install to have the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file in place?
I tried searching in Synoptics for ‘wpa’ and installing the top matches - there are dependencies issues in some and could not install.
I need that file / package for network configuration in a work place.
Best,
M

Hi forum members,
I just did a clean install of ASCII after finding upgrading from 1.0 had many issues, e.g. network etc.
I did an update to all default packages after initial installation, and then tried to install some packages that I need to use:
Emacs25 package can not install due to dependency issues.
How can I solve this?
Or can I even install Emacs 26?
Of course, compiling Emacs by myself can be a way to do, but I really don’t want to get to that path.
Best,
M
#8 Re: Other Issues » ifup wait at boot » 2018-10-01 12:05:34
Hi Forum members,
This behavior also exhibits in my laptop: a long ifup eth0 wait with the 'allow-hotplug eth0' line in etc/network/interfaces
It seems to be a known Debian bug as well:
