(Ideologically driven distros such as Devuan are left out)
If the systemd-sh*t would work flawlessly and transparent, nobody cared.
But it was a substantial and sensible deterioration of flawlessness, maintainability and transparency.
Saving Admin time seems to be ideology today.

Hi

Is it possible to delete a thread ?
I have opened a thread and described a proceeding which seem to not work anymore. see
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5975

It would be wise, to delete the thread otherwise I have to edit and delete its contents by individual message

It remains qemu.

I installed xen-system-amd64 , but system became unbootable with dead displays. Deleted xen again.
Then I had to reinstall grub-efi-amd-64, which was deleted from the xen-install.
I keep on trying.

My internet service provider gives me a new ipv6 range /56 about every 8 weeks.
Then I stumble over this

ssh user@some other host
Warning: the ECDSA host key for ' some other host' differs from the key for the IP address '1111:2222:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888'

Offending key for IP in /home/xx/.ssh/known_hosts:8
Matching host key in /home/xx/.ssh/known_hosts:11
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

I do not want keys based on IPv6 . Each host in my intranet has a proper name chez moi.
That should be the identification for the keys
How can I suppress this seemingly automatic host key generation from varying references?

I have now scanned my home dir and uncovered a few infected applications hiding in wine.
Definitely worth using on Linux, as it is not as safe as it once was.

It is not the linux which is less safe, it is the w(h)ine install in your $HOME, which is unsafe.

Stop the wine application which offers all the uncertainties of windows.
Stick in an infected usb stick and wine will begin to work and distribute the virus inside your wine-home. I have seen this live on my Laptop.
I used to

apt remove wine*

and then have the directories scanned for viruses.
I Used antivir for that, still existing but it is no more in the distros I know
Have ever since 10 years not used any virus checking or w(h)ine anymore.

I made an attempt to reinstall fail2ban on top of the still existing conf files.

apt install fail2ban

This failed and the system was borked as before.
now I looked for the /var/lib/dpkg/info/fail2ban.prerm script
changed the exit value to 0

So Your advice worked. Thx
Finally got rid of the darn package which caused the highest load in the system.
I will do another thing to protect the server .

I need to speed up changes without breaking production platform(s).
Therefore I need to have a virtual machine for three purposes inside devuan chimaera

Run the already installed Win10 of this host for the purpose of updating my Navi from G????n. About every 4 weeks without necessarily restarting the computer.

copy the local distro installation and test the update / upgrade / dist-upgrade e.g. to daedalus for this machine

test a fresh install of daedalus for this machine

eventually upgrade to daedalus and stable and

continue to have an experimental playground for testing things.

A net search is dominated by results on running *n?x inside a win$ows environment OMFG and other commercial solutions.

this workstation failed badly on updating to daedalus. dpkg locked in on the non-free nvidia driver. It broke the distro upgrade and it needed a fresh install.
This took days. The Reinstall is described elsewhere here.
Therefore I am careful || wary || overcautious || paranoid , when tinkering on production systems. Select as appropriate.

I started now with installing various packages

Can it be done with the devuan packages only ?
It should be done with the devuan packages only.

a:

A metapackage would be appreciated which does the right thing.

b:

A How To for devuan should result from this thread.

It's good you had an alternative method for installation.

I experienced the same problem but with a chimaera reinstall on an UEFI system. Before the upgrade to daedalus had catastrophically failed.

After reboot the system ended with a prompt of some sort (grub could not find a bootable partition). From there I managed to install the efi-grub and then could successfully start the chimaera again.
With the same USBStick I installed several old Laptops with BIOS.

The history of this problem seems to reach a bit more into history at least back to chimaera.

Hi I had a rather smooth update/upgrade/dist-upgrade from chimaera to daedalus this night.

One package did not make it : fail2ban is now in a state where it cannot be removed, purged nor reinstalled

dpkg --force-conflicts --remove fail2ban > fail2ban_errors 2>&1

cat fail2ban_errors

This action must fail, because the fail2ban is not running from the beginning.
Stopping a not running process must not produce an error, because the wished result is already achieved. (initscripts?)

why does the removal procedure try to start the app ?

dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq --remove fail2ban

same result

locate fakegooglebot | grep -E "^/etc"
/etc/fail2ban/filter.d/apache-fakegooglebot.conf
/etc/fail2ban/filter.d/ignorecommands/apache-fakegooglebot

Nothing which I understand

Now I am lost, because this hinders other install activities . Each time dpkg is called, this errors show up, of course multiple times.

It does not download the Mails, it only scans the folders on the IMAP server.
The configuration is easy and well explained.

A test run has shown that the scan works, remains to do all the folders and their deletion rules.

This Lenovo P330 thinkstation has 2 video cards. The MB one from Intel (IGD) and a PCIe x16 Nvidia P2000 (PEG)
It came with the EFI setting Videocard at "PEG" . A monitor connected to the MB remained black.
The HW adapter from DP to HDMI was missing.
I had to remove physically the nvidia video card, to be able to access the BIOS and to change it to IGD.
Then I could setup devuan chimaera on the station. Grub menu, kernel boot and xorg.conf all fine.
But with this setting the nvidia card is invisible to the OS.

Trying to create a working xorg.conf without the nvidia is only possible when the nvidia is powered off.

While testing the other EFI videocard options auto and PEG,
I had to take the nvidia out a second time physically to get back to EFI and grub boot option menu.

I want this card only to do computations (CUDA), because my requirements for the graphical display are low.

After starting the xorg-server , the kernel should power up the PEG and rescan the PCIe bus.

Is there a way to power up the PEG via kernel command, after EFI - grub - boot - kernel - xorg have done their thing,
Despite it is turned off in EFI ?

solves the xorg Problem

Remains the grub problem
a bug https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62806 is made against grub already

almost SOLVED

I have now moved all the sorting into folders to my e-mail provider.

However they do not provide methods to delete older mails such as system mails or forum threads.
This remains to be solved.

Now I found the difference
bad computer :

May  9 16:10:25 lenovo-r500 x-session-manager[6629]: WARNING: Could not make DBUS call: Failed to execute program org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: Permission denied

Now I fight these strange program names, which are not reflected in the ps -tree

May  9 16:14:31 lenovo-r500 dbus-daemon[1789]: [system] Activated service 'org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1' failed: Failed to execute program org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1: Permission denied

The command

comm="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/polkit-mate/polkit-mate-"

line is not complete
the only file in the directory is named /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/polkit-mate/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1
The command is given to the dbus daemon dynamically, not in the commandline

apt-file search /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/polkit-mate/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1
mate-polkit: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/polkit-mate/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1

I reinstalled mate-polkit, but the wrong command is created somewhere upstream dbus-daemon

Make sure policykit-1-gnome is installed.

Yes it is installed.

Check the config files in your home dir.

I checked , the problem is not in the $HOME.

Thanks for the help, this hint is leading to the right direction.

When starting both as user 1000 or 1001 , the item is not there.
But doing startx as root, the shutdown menu item it present.
therefore everything is installed as should be,
giving the users >=1000 the rights to access the shutdown menu will solve the puzzle.

I made today a fresh install using the devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_netinstall.iso,
devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_netinstall.iso 12-Oct-2021 10:48 372M

My /etc/apt/sources.list contains 2 lines after the install

deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security main contrib non-free
deb-src http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security main contrib non-free

all other lines in the file point to deb.devuan.org

So this should be fixed, as it introduces confusion and additional load on my apt-proxy, which creates a new directory for this.
It should be fixed at least for daedalus.

Investigate what caused the HDD crash, and attribute the change to the crash.

The HDD crash was caused by the old age and 11 years of operation .
Certain ranges in my home directory were affected, but that has been fixed with backups. nothing in /etc /usr/ was affected
As I have written, the install was from scratch.

bai4Iej2need · Desktop and Multimedia

Hi
Recently I installed 3 computers from scratch. they should have the same desktop appearance. mate desktop, no big deal.
However they came out different. In one install the mate desktop/ panel / system menus / shutdown button is missing
Did not find out how to get it back. the other 2 have it.

All three have different HW and age. (2010 2 cores, 2017 2 cores, 2019 12 cores)
I now wonder why 2 have the shutdown button but the one of 2010 not. Although it had it before the HDD crash.

With a Ventoj multiboot stick never use automated install! You will need to use manual partitioning to have full control where the system goes. This works perfectly.

Unfortunately there is no way of deselecting the wrong partitioning of Ventoy stick
The choice on Ventoy stick with manual partitioning is

create LVM Partition or

create empty partition or

but there is missing point "do nothing" or "leave as is"

bai4Iej2need · Installation

I used my new and shiny VENTOY multibootstick to test the installation on a laptop Lenovo-R460, before doing a final install.
The laptop boots ventoy,
then I choose devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_netinstall.iso, which starts as with a normal boot-stick.

Arriving at the disk partition menue I choose to encrypt the whole or part of the partitions in LVM
Then the installer wants to encrypt the SSD , but also this part of /dev/sdb, the Multiboot stick Ventoy part, where the ventoy iso is installed.
The same happens in other partition menues with LVM

mount says there is no LVM Volume on /dev/sdb
So I stop using this sort of install.
It was hard enough to create this multiboot stick. Should not be destroyed.
