i think the confusion stems also from the fact that during installation i set "language: englsish"

but i live somehwere else, and i am however constrained to select a region that has "english mapping" and hence everything goes tupsy turvy;

this is probably a limitating on the lclassic debian-inux installer.

would have to guess, but apparently i am able to mess up the time every other time i boot into windows and back , or so ~

there have been kind peopel on this forum who told me how to fix time with windows tricks ]

but those have tricks not lasted that long also use several computer , and what function on one, seem not always stable on another. . it has probably to do aswell with the computers itself; and maybe also language, regional settings may interfere?

maybe some day we can get to to the bottom of it.

sudo apt install ntpsec-ntpdate

is valid for devuan 6.0

sudo ntpdate-debian

but with dual-boot windows + linux there is still woes, at least on computers that i use.

Hello ,

hvae updated another box to latest Devuan 6.0

this time however incurred some rrproblems, now there is string of errors and i am not
sure if it save to remove those packages.

the issue most likely arose after updating i did run "sudo tasksel" and let remove "cinnamon" and install "mate" instead;
the "xfce" was already installed and running;

now there are some error still

like

sudo apt -f install

~~have already removed the :i386 version of it or elogind only;~~

would like to clear up and continue with the OS since it function well;

thank you.

thanks,

booted into windows and downloaded a trial of extfs for windows and saw that there are in fact already 8,76 something GB available to me;
booted back into Linux, back online, could boot into GUI.

~~more false alarm than a real calamity; glad could save a 50-60 euro for a bigger nvme (for now).~~
also, the windows 10 could receive another year of updates until october 2027, so the laptop could still be useful ( i like dual-boot).

sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*

was however needed to forcefully remove a file that "empthing trash via icon was not able to empty.

[¬fait accompli`~]

EDIT:

it seems there is still a bit confusion on the free space;

here it says / 9,022 MB available

Thanks Altoid,

~~i don't think there is anything to resize~~, since do the "automaticl" installer most of times, which does 1 small EFI, 1 home-everything-else, 1 swap-1GB if rememeber correctly, but things might have changed in the meantime.

there was a suggestion to delete directories in trash via terminal in like in

rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*

but there is no such directory; i use KDE on this laptop;

EDIt: on second thought, it sounds a good advice, i could bootinto gparted live and resize the swap or delete it; that could do the trick.
but hopefully such situation could be amended also otherwise?

Hello ,

have a small SSD on which sits Devuan Testing,
so far if function deceently, however am prone to download things and not always tidiing up in time;

now have run into impasse;

the OS complained running out of space (root is 0 Byte or similar), so i kept deleting things, kept emptying Trash; but it seemed to have made no effect;

now, thought that a reboot will probably clear up the space since have "deleted" quite some files;
but apparently it did not;
"Free" command still reports 0 swap;
and i am no longer able to login to GUI;

when i boot into recovery-mode; i am still deleting files, but apparently the situation does not change;
the remaining space is "0";

would kindly ask who i ccould empty the trash via terminal? if it is even still possible at this point;

tried to install "trash-cli" for "trash-empty" but it would not function, ince 324KB are not available;
it is a bit comical since i really did delete quite some files + also emptied the trashcan prior to rebooting; but apparently it was already too late since the root going down to 0 Byte or what? must have prevented things.

Would be glad if this could still be salvaged,
thanks.

hello rolfie,

i used this trick on a Optiplex that used to have not network manager after a software update ~
this has functioned reliably, glad i found it.

sudo dhclient -r eth0
sudo dhclient eth0

kapqa · Packaging for Devuan

it may very well be that the version of "testing" is still exhibiting the behaviour;
i am not sure what software version the laptop has since it is getting always updates, so it must be mix propablyzy
of devuan 7 and or/sid.

photoqt --version

this aligns with "next-testing" and "testing" from the reportbug-window in gui-mode.

have included reference to the 3 packages, but the rest is up to the responsible persones.
if the program is included int the repos, it should be able to run - no questions asked - that is maybe universally agreeable.

thank you again for letting know of the program and proposing a "fix".

kapqa · Packaging for Devuan

the rpgram seems to exhibit similar behaviour on linuux mint 22.3

what is more ,

qml6-module-qtquick-effects

is not present in linux mint, so the "repair-trick" is not effective for this ubuntu distribution.

only installing 2 of the 3 promoted additional packages does not solve the issue [program not starting]

kapqa · Packaging for Devuan

it functions on devuan 7 with kde, it seems a handy app.

on devuan 6 with mate, there is probably missing some functionality?

it would open up, but there is not possible to open files - the screen would not respond to mouse commands.

kapqa · Freedom Hacks

thanks, really comofrtable, should be nice feature.

hae however built according to your instructions, but sadly with patch 1 & 2 error (~~not your fault~~);

will the resulting "firefox-dev-ed_154.0a1-1_amd64" be blemished forever? are those patches needed?

kapqa · Freedom Hacks

thanks, i am not needing zoom atm, but might later one and will test.
have not understood your patches, but can hopefully adapt to it.

what does it mean "firefox developer edition is being updated by another instance"?

does the firefox develper auto-update?

kapqa · ARM Builds

thanks for your reply,

dont know why but the older image chimaera or similar older
got installed and proceeded to update from there,

posted sometime at pine forum , but thought this more devuan related, glad it could function, it is very minimal image.
(but have switched since to armbian pmce more)

kapqa · Freedom Hacks

thank you,
patch 1 & 2 gave error (with 2.39.5 at line 22 & 23 respectively) , but the build went through ~
very pleased!!!
you made browsing a lot more pleasant ~ think if ever there be an devuan award, it should go söso
toyou!

it could be solved by installing

problem solved, thanks.

kapqa · Desktop and Multimedia

Hello ,

am wanting to make a screenshot with Devuan 6.0 KDE , but the app is not responding properly;

the error is

launching spectacle failed
Process org.kde.spectacle exited with error 127

from terminal

spectacle 
spectacle: error while loading shared libraries: libfdk-aac.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libfdk-aac-dev is already the newest version (1:2.0.3-dmo1+b1).
Summary:

thank you very much.

kapqa · Freedom Hacks

have been following your instructions,

that you posted early on how to build firefox;
but missed lately the ones for creating a .deb file ~

so probably the .cubeb thing is not implemented ~ hence , a half-baked solution?

Hello ,

attempted to install this image here for Pine A64+

https://devuan.bio.lmu.de/devuan/dists/ … rd-images/

after installing the error message :

No boot loader installed

No boot loader has been installed, either because you chose not to or because your specific architetcure doesn't support a boot loader yet.
You will need to boot manually with the /vmlinuz kernel on partittion /dev/mmcblk0p3 and root=/dev/mmcblk0p5 passed as a kernel argument.

could someone please tell what the correct course of action in such a case would be?
do i need to manually install grub?

thank you.

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

for it to be found, you would probably have boot into the kernel first; minor disadvantage of the proach, i guess.

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

you could install the missing headers simply by inserting

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

and it should find the correct ones needed for you.

kapqa · Other Issues

this has been shared before,
but you could use the manual approach if the cli is no longer compatible with deuvan<
it used to install before, even though it is for made gnome, but so times it break compatibility.

this approach still function from experience , it is relatively easy to achieve.

or

i prefer use openvpn since it seem less invasive but sometime on a distro had problem installing openresolv so could resort to thiw wireguard.thing
