Two individuals both graduated from my school more than a few years before me. Trini Lopez and Domingo "Sam" Samudio with the band Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs

I knew Sam and the Pharaohs, but didnt know the Spanish origins of the singer! Love this garage rock sub genre kind of music, sometimes called "Frat Rock" which was usually played at the fraternity toga parties in late 50s and 60s.

So let me link a handful of frat rock hits just in case somebody wants shake this saturday:

School Days - Chuck Berry

Swingin' Medallions - Double shot (of my babys love)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57s89xrC93o

The Premiers - Farmer John
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKVLAiyDIzw

The Kingsmen - Louie Louie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RZJ4ESU52U

The McCoys - Hang on Sloopy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvJ4FhjgTl4

The Hombres - The Hombres - Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhs5K9D86kM

The Isley Brothers - Shout

#4 Re: Other Issues » Apt-get: DNS problem » 2018-11-29 23:04:57

If @ralph.ronnquist solution not fix the problem I suggest:

- check if your are using mdns4 and how:

grep mdns4 /etc/nsswitch.conf

- check what happen if you use another DNS server like google' s 8.8.8.8.
Also try using static IP configuration and static DNS to exclude DHCP problems. Be sure the netmask its in your address range.

- try ping and telnet 192.168.2.1 53 to be sure your DNS server its accessible.

Something stands out me its why a non root user cant run ping. Maybe it solves with chmod the setuid, but the keys its that maybe you have applied a strong misconfiguration. Try to remember what you done or iterate you shell history.

Thanks to post T-Rex.

I can't consider me a T-Rex fan but I like too. Most the the first 60s stage, more folk, pop, psychedelic and brighter sound, when Marc Boland (who learnt with Clapton) started at Johns Children and next formed Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Personally I have The Slider and Electric Warrior in my shelves (from that albums comes some of the songs you posted). That albums belong the glam rock period and are lot influenced by the Marc Bolan cocaine addiction. Are considered pieces of art and positioned on the most relevant albums ever.

#7 Re: Other Issues » Apt-get: DNS problem » 2018-11-29 18:27:25

Try to use another mirror url:

deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ascii main

and directly the main repository direction:

deb http://5.196.38.18/merged ascii main

and let see what happen.

#9 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Devuan + iptables » 2018-11-24 16:12:22

To allow resolve DNS, you must add a line accepting UDP output conections, since DNS protocol uses querys throw UDP:

iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport domain -j ACCEPT

about the script exec problem, also you can debug inserting a previous echo by each iptables command, so you can check on which its failing.

#10 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Devuan + iptables » 2018-11-24 13:49:32

I have executed this script and in my laptop exit successfully without errors.

But it seems that -m state its deprecated, maybe your iptables version or kernel build dont accept that parameter.

Try to remove or change by -m conntrack --ctstate.

Another way: you can execute line by line in the shell to debug in which exact lines its failing.

#12 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Devuan + iptables » 2018-11-23 18:02:35

I dont know if theres are a better method, but I use to store my custom iptables script at /etc/init.d. Basically that script load iptables from /etc/iptables.rules:

cat /etc/init.d/iptables 
#!/bin/bash
/sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules

Then you must link to /etc/rcX.d (by defaul 2)

/etc/rc2.d/S20iptables -> ../init.d/iptables

#13 Re: Off-topic » Music » 2018-11-19 23:46:05

#14 Re: Other Issues » Autorun a script at boot » 2018-11-15 00:51:02

#!/bin/sh -e

It seems there is the problem, I was running under bash.

#15 Re: Other Issues » Autorun a script at boot » 2018-11-15 00:22:31

For me that script its fine, so try to guest when and who are running /etc/rc.local

I suggest put something like this on your /etc/rc.local to debug your startup:

date >> /var/log/rc.local.test

if the file its not created, maybe its because /etc/rc.local hasnt execution permissions.

#16 Re: Devuan » First impressions in Devuan » 2018-11-14 00:30:39

First of all, welcome to Devuan community and Im also from Spain so feel free to contact with me if you need something by me.

Im a grateful new Devuan user and I feel exactly the same that you describe. Im using Debian from Sarge days and I liked a lot, but last releases are becoming more unstable and bloated. I am using Devuan since a month and for now my experience its like comeback to the great Debian old days:flexibility, easy of use, stability and a helping comunity.

Finally I must say that today its not possible for me but in the future I would like and I expect cooperate with the Devuan project in some way.

hi, does it mean that is a fallout-licence ?

That resource explains what licenses are approved and which not. As said before, If a package and dependencies has a compatible license goes to main and in other cases goes to contrib or non-free.

#19 Re: Installation » Sources List all Non-Free ? » 2018-11-07 19:48:56

- not free: these are redistributable packages but not free according to the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG).
- contrib: is free software compatible with the DFSG, but depends on some packages that are not free.
- main: it is the standard repository of devuan and all the software included here includes free software according with the DFSG.

Try to remove contrib and non-free repositories and if you need a package from there, enable it.

kind, zephyr. You have a friend here.

Nice tunes, I like specially Ronnie's Montrose that I didn't know.

#21 Re: Devuan » Can Devuan have kFreeBSD? » 2018-11-07 00:05:28

Because the expansion tendency of systemd, I always afraid that at any time the Linux kernel accept systemd code inside and the next step will be a hard dependency with it. Call me paranoid, but I don't think Linus leave the kernel leadership by chance.

So in that stage, have a second kernel option will be more than welcomed.

#22 Re: Off-topic » Music » 2018-11-04 22:44:08

I maintain my personal vinyl record collection and I have all the albums I posted. Apostrophe and main Zappa studio albums are in, also there are Jeff Beck's Beck-ola and Truth while King Crimson has his place with the first album In the Court of the Crimson King.

#23 Re: Off-topic » Music » 2018-11-04 11:18:32

Thanks a lot! I didnt know that Jeck Beck's jazz-rock stage, I stayed in Yardbirds, and two first albums more straight rock.

By your suggestions I suppose you like Zappa. I am Zappa and Mothers of Invention fan and this is on of my favorite tunes.

#25 Re: Installation » Devuan for K6-2 - 64 MB RAM - 4.3 GB HDD ? » 2018-11-03 13:04:10

Following Debian stable minimum requirements, it seems that you cant:

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ … 04.html.en

But, this requirements maybe are over sized:

The actual minimum memory requirements are a lot less than the numbers listed in this table

Also, Systemd its more memory hungry, so the best you can do its to try and see what happen.

I think it would be possible to install and boot successfully, but likely will works to slow.
