restart your network manager, that usually does it.. if you use some dns caching daemon, restart that daemon too.
OT, startpage is ad owned/supported metasearch engine, selling out user queries/data just like gevil does.. usually prefer some (=my own) searx instance.
Restarting the network manager gives no feedback that the DNS cache has been flushed.
Thanks for the reply...

Startpage used to be ixquick - when I looked at startpage after I had searched for ixquick I was soon put off by some message saying about "additonal services" being made available - can't remember the exact wording but it intimated money would have to cross palms. It was gone in a flash - I stick with DuckDuckGo.
I suspect the OP meant looking in the forum/documentation. I searched for this on another distro and the only advice I could find was dependent on dnsmasq being present - and it wasn't so that threw me. Occurred whilst having issues with TT - I have since moved to Zen - much better service.
Exactly, I checked Here (Forums, Wiki, FAQ) and did a search of the web.
All the methods suggested fail as Devuan is missing something from each method, sanyn attempt to install any software to try one of those methods result in Dependcy CANNOT be met...

Why yes, yes I did look. None of those methods work with Devuan
Thanks tho...
Unfortunately

That's strange, I get a whole page of potential results if I enter "how to flush DNS linux" into https://startpage.com
Have you tried that?

#5 Re: Installation » VMware install Devuan ascii » 2020-03-20 00:32:33
Make sure build-essential is installed. (Yes, the package name is singular.)
Last piece of my puzzle, solved it, thanks very much! :-)
#6 Re: Installation » VMware install Devuan ascii » 2020-03-19 15:29:07
installed /usr/src/linux-headers-4.9.0-12-amd64
Build environment error! A required application is missing and Modconfig cannot continue. xzCheck the log for more info"
Yes, the "xz" was there, no log specified
No joy...

Tons of problems, the latest being kernel headers 4.9.0-11-amd64
Installed VMware-Workstation-Full-15.5.1-15018445.x86_64.bundle went well.
Launching VMWare from apps menu fails, from terminal it produces depends error, the latest one being the kernel headers.
Those headers are not in the repo, apt upgrade and update no joy...
No idea what awaits after I solve this, if it is solvable
Info:
Linux devuan 4.9.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.189-3+deb9u2 (2019-11-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux
If there is another way to get VMware installed, I would appreciate any clues, thanks...

https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/d1pk … ease=asciiThe pattern is improving though: 14 results for beowulf and just 7 for ceres.
And please check the package descriptions: most of that stuff is for interacting with systemd and so will do *nothing* if it isn't installed.
Good point. But if these systemd components do nothing if systemd isn't installed (weird concept that) then why have them at all?
We include stuff called systemdthisorthat but unless realsystemd is installed they do nothing.
Why include things that do nothing?

I guess I was mistaken about Devuan, I thought the entire point was to not use systemd.
Maybe "systemd light" would be a better motto...
"Devuan GNU+Linux is a fork of Debian without systemd that offers users control over their system by avoiding unnecessary entanglements and ensuring Init Freedom. " Just doesn't seem accurate now...
#10 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » systemd » 2019-11-19 16:42:15
ceres and testing specifically show systemd 232 and 238 as a package. ascii shows nothing in that field.
Seems to be a bit more going on than "harmless" systemd units files
Why does distro watch show the systemd package for ceres and testing but not for ascii?

First, I looked for this topic, didn't find it
I'm in Distro watch,I see ceres and testing with systemd included.
Why is this? I thought the point of Devuan was systemd free...
