I've found another issue that might be related.. once in awhile the keyboard goes dead.
So I tried switching usb ports , doesn't help.

I found this script which seems to reset the usb , and it does end up working again.. :

#!/bin/bash

if [[ $EUID != 0 ]] ; then
  echo This must be run as root!
  exit 1
fi

for xhci in /sys/bus/pci/drivers/?hci_hcd ; do

  if ! cd $xhci ; then
    echo Weird error. Failed to change directory to $xhci
    exit 1
  fi

  echo Resetting devices from $xhci...

  for i in ????:??:??.? ; do
    echo -n "$i" > unbind
    echo -n "$i" > bind
  done
done

Here's the old gnome xkill icon https://dev1galaxy.org/files/gnome-panel-force-quit.png It has disappeared from the search engines but I have been keeping it alive for a very long time in my icon collection. Enjoy!

Awesome, thank you also !

Will xkill kill the panel / taskbar if you click on that ?

Not sure if I wanted to try because not sure how to get it back if it does.. lol

Yeah it looked like it had been trying to do stuff with swap also later on

Maybe I should have waited awhile longer? I think I waited about 30 minutes as it was

Do you actually have any problems with the keyboard apart from the dmesg spam?

Seems to work ok, I guess its just spam then?
Tried wiggling the cable, disconnect and reconnect.. I'll see if that helps anything.

I keep getting this message repeating again and again.. in dmesg -wH

Should I use a different keyboard?

sounds like a kernel regression maybe.

Seems like around the time it locked up, there were these messages.
Maybe ran out of memory and it was shutting down chrome? And just wouldn't let me back to desktop ui?

The other day the desktop locked up..

I could move the mouse around, but couldn't control any windows, and nothing in the task bar worked.. couldn't click to exit anything etc..

So I did ctrl alt F1

Ran htop

and looked around at programs using a lot of memory , tried to kill a bunch of those

went back to desktop (ctrl alt F7) but still same thing

So went back and tried restarting the panel and xfce window manager

But kept getting an error saying something like cannot connect to the display...

I ended up just issuing "shutdown -r now" and restarting

So any advice or what should I do next time.. so I wouldn't have to restart and save what I'm doing..

Anyone have a recommendation for an actual separate IDE ?
Its just easier for when following tutorials

Edit
I found this, and it shows vscode as an editor, but maybe I shouldn't use that.

Maybe for ide I'll try eclipse, I guess.

Does vscode deb package work/compatible with Devuan?

Is anyone running vscode in Devuan?
Just wanted to check before I go trying to install it.

If not - is there a good, similar alternative ??

Thanks.

There's nothing to fix. The package version will never change because that's how Devuan releases work.
The youtube-dl version has been updated by pip and is stored under /usr/local/bin/, confirm this for yourself with
which youtube-dl
Then try
# pip3 uninstall youtube-dl
which youtube-dl
youtube-dl --version
It isn't recommended to mix APT python packages with pip but in this case youtube-dl has to change regularly because YouTube modify their APIs to try and stop them and pip doesn't need any other dependencies for this package so it shouldn't wreck any system Python packages. Just don't make a habit of it
Obligatory xkcd link: https://xkcd.com/1987/

After doing that uninstall, it shows the latest version installed at

/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

I also then just did to remove the apt one:

sudo apt remove youtube-dl

So I guess it is fine to leave it that way, it seems.. I tried youtube-dl -U and didn't get the error message, nor did I have to use sudo..
Interesting, this seems to work best.
Thanks!

jpark · Other Issues

I tried:

sudo youtube-dl -U
It looks like you installed youtube-dl with a package manager, pip, setup.py or a tarball. Please use that to update.

So then I tried:

pip3 install --upgrade youtube-dl

That worked, updated to latest version

youtube-dl --version
2021.12.17

But then (even after sudo apt update):

apt-cache policy youtube-dl
youtube-dl:
  Installed: 2021.06.06-1
  Candidate: 2021.06.06-1
  Version table:

        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Shows older version...
So how to fix??

Themes are found in /usr/share/themes/ or locally in you user directory in .themes. All previous Devuan themes are still available in the repos.

I click "add" in the style selection and I browse to those locations, but none at all show up in those folders

Is there a link to the actual files in the repo..
Isn't there a "theme" package, i could just install?

1. I installed network-manager, can't find it in add items for the toolbar.
Where do I find it or add it ?
Apparently it is running:
sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager start
Starting network connection manager: NetworkManager already started.

2. Where are all my color themes / styles for the taskbar, window borders ?
Seems like only one theme clearlooks-phenix-deapsea

Well, its more of wanting to get it to work, and learn in case I ever have to do it with another package/program in the future.

Yeah, it needs the backported debhelper version.

How do I use that debhelper instead of what is already installed?

jpark · Installation

There is this, in the folder though...
obs-studio-build-deps_26.1.2+dfsg1-1_all.deb

Maybe something can be fixed in there?

Edit... how do I get scour.pm into "@INC"

Edit; when I do apt-file search ... i get:

scour: /usr/share/perl5/Debian/Debhelper/Sequence/scour.pm

Not sure, some relevant information might be here:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=886203

This is actually a bug in scour, where the scour binary and debhelper
addon moved from python-scour to python3-scour.
Neither is the right place.
scour should go into an own binary package of the same name,
and the debhelper addon could also go there.
For properly handling stretch->buster upgrades, python-scour should
depend on the new scour package.

debhelper is already the newest version (12.1.1)

Well it showed more in the error, but it said it already fixed it.. but ended with that error (that I posted).

I unfortunately closed that terminal.

EDIT: here is what it fixed...

Did you install the build-essential package? This creates a full build environment by pulling in all essential packages. (by itself it installs nothing, but uses the dependency resolution from apt to get what it needs installed)

Yes installed that. What is strange is the backport method -error doesn't specify which dependency.

So I also looked in the control file, but I also don't see linux-generic listed in there .. from the backport source method

EDIT: or just backport the testing/unstable package, as I suggested earlier. That will probably be simpler.

Doing the backports steps I got this:

sudo mk-build-deps --install --remove
mk-build-deps: Unable to install obs-studio-build-deps at /usr/bin/mk-build-deps line 416.
mk-build-deps: Unable to install all build-dep packages

Is that the same with the linux-generic problem?

Edit: I looked in debian/control file... but don't see linux-generic listed in there.

Well it failed. Didn't have the dependencies.
First failure was this:

So I did this, and didn't work either:
