#1 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Make run nftables on Devuan rpi » Yesterday 11:19:55

I've loaded nft with some rule

and now lsmod | grep nft return

nft_log ...
nft_ct ...
nft_conntrack ...
nft_objref ...
nf_tables ...

good catch steve_v, indeed nftable (if I'm using the good term) is a kernel module therefore do not run in user-space but in kernel space, so not visible by ps smile

Hi,

I've installed Devuan on a raspberry with https://arm-files.devuan.org/RaspberryP … %20Builds/

I've installed nftables following https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=34460#p34460

# apt install nftables orphan-sysvinit-scripts
# cp /usr/share/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/nftables /etc/init.d
# update-rc.d nftables defaults

I've reboot but it seem that nft do not start :'(

in /etc/init.d/nftables it was set

Default-Start:    S
Default-Stop:    0 1 6

I've change to 1 2 and 0 6 and

$ update-rc.d nftables default-disabled
$ reboot

but still seem not to start

$ runlevel
N 2

$ /etc/init.d/nftables status
nft rulset loaded: yes

$ ps aux | grep
... grep nft #so only the grep cmd

$lsmod | grep nft
(nothing)

Any ideas ?

Thank you blackhole & greenjeans

So that means I have to do an apt-cache depends ( and download the dependencies ) for each dependence of the desired program ? 😭

Hi,

I would like to easily install some software/packages to an offline rpi devuan

I've heard of apt-offline that seem good for this purpose.
obviously it need to be installed to the offline machine.

so on the online machine I did

$ apt-cache depends apt-offline
apt-offline
  Depends: <python3:any>
    python3
  Depends: apt
  Depends: less
  Depends: python3-magic
  Recommends: debian-archive-keyring
  Recommends: python3-debianbts
  Recommends: python3-apt

then to get the .deb files,  and move them the offline machine.

$ apt-get download python3-magic apt-offline

once the deb file on the offline machine I did:

$ apt install /path/python3-magic_2%3a0.4.20-3_all.deb
success #I don't remember the ouput by heart :)

$ apt install /path/apt-offline_1.8.2-2_all.deb
#error, see here after

apt wanted to install automatically 9 other packages (iso-codes python-apt-common - python3-apt python3-debianbts etc... )
Of course as this machine is offline, it failed...

but why now, it want to dw other packages that are not listed with apt-cache depends ??????

Thanks.

Thank you Cheyenne, Should I  un comment it ? in order for ifconfig or ifdownto work at boot ?

Thanks fanderal

I've set ifdown wlan0 into /etc/rc.local but i got ~

boot terminal wrote:

ifdown: unknow interface wlan0
startpar: service(s) returned failure: rc.local ... failed!

it's weird because when i use ifconfig wlan0 down it's not generating an error, it's just not applied...

fanderal wrote:

Is there a reason your /etc/network/interfaces doesn't include wlan0 and/or dhcp?

no ideas, I didn't touch for sure. anyway I'll try now with a stock devuan4 install to see what it does.

edit: with a fresh install, it trow the same error.

indeed /etc/sysctl.conf is easy and make the most sense (tested and worked btw smile )

Big Thanks to everyone that made possible Devuan, and everyone that are supporting this awesome distro !

Thanks, to everyone that give support on this very forum ❤️

May the fork be with you Devuan !

Thanks @...

lshw give me

bash: lshw: command not found

but ifconfig seem correct btw

#9 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Disable a NIC at boot. » 2024-11-28 11:42:53

update

I've just tried in /etc/init.d/networking

EXCLUDE_INTERFACES=wlan0

but it's not working... the NIC is still up...

same with /etc/rc.local

ifconfig wlan0 down

:'(

#10 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Disable a NIC at boot. » 2024-11-28 11:36:38

@greenjeans
Thanks, but I don't have an hardware switch to shutdown disable the WiFi.
Another way it's to disable it in the BIOS/UEFI smile (I'll try on my in a couple of hours)

@fanderal
Thanks, I believe you meant: /etc/network/interfaces smile

in that file I got (I didn't modify it)

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

indeed I see in /etc/init.d/networking

CONFIGURE_INTERFACES=yes
EXCLUDE_INTERFACES=

If I set CONFIGURE_INTERFACES to no I assum it will affect all the interface
Maybe I can use just EXCLUDE_INTERFACES ? EXCLUDE_INTERFACES=wlan0 ?

Hi,

I would like to disable a NIC a boot.

I've created an init script

#!/bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          disable_WiFi
# Required-Start:    $network $local_fs
# Required-Stop:     $network $local_fs
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Disable WiFi and BlueTooth
### END INIT INFO

case "$1" in
  start)
    echo "Disabling WiFi & BlueTooth"
    ifconfig wlan0 down
    ;;
  stop)
    echo "WiBT will not be reactived"
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
    exit 1
esac

exit 0

But after reboot and login ifconfig still show the interface :'(

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

#12 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » How to disable IPv6? » 2024-11-27 15:26:43

Thanks nixer & SSCM

I created a init script /init.d/....

with

sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1

inside.

now just remain to test if IPv6 is really disabled ! (any ideas ?)

#13 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » How to disable IPv6? » 2024-11-26 17:12:54

Hi,

I have a devuan-daedalus-6.1.93 running on a Raspberry.

I would like also to disable the ipv6 (system wide)

I've seen many time this:

nano /etc/sysctl.d/disableipv6.conf
#add line:
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1

But If I don't mistaken this is only for systemd 🤢 ?

In the OP link, is the method 2 nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ipv6.conf ...

will work on sysv init ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I would like to run iperf3 on a live (load to RAM) devuan.

In one of my topic I've managed to install gcc on devuan5 (installed not live)
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=50058#p50058

so it seem when devuan is installed ,/etc/apt/sources.list have this line:

deb cdrom:[Devuan GNU/Linux 5.0.1 daedalus amd64 - desktop 20230914]/ daedalus contrib main non-free non-free-firmware

but the live (loaded into RAM)
have this by default

# Package repositories
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-updates main non-free-firmware
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security main non-free-firmware

So, how can I point the "booted" USB or the RAMed file into /etc/apt/sources.list ?

Thank you.

Hi,

in Devuan 4 (that run as a Virtual Machine)

in the xfce GUI Network connection, under the tab Wi-Fi I can see Device: wlan0 (a MAC address )

with nmcli

...
wifi (the chipset name), a different MAC address
...

So I was wondering which one give the true "physical"/OEM MAC address

Thanks

#16 Re: Other Issues » What is best way to install latest version of Firefox? » 2024-08-25 08:14:22

I also noticed that the third command

gpg -n -q --import --import-options import-show /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc | awk '/pub/{getline; gsub(/^ +| +$/,""); if($0 == "35BAA0B33E9EB396F59CA838C0BA5CE6DC6315A3") print "\nThe key fingerprint matches ("$0").\n"; else print "\nVerification failed: the fingerprint ("$0") does not match the expected one.\n"}'

gpg: keyblock resource '/root/.gnupg/pubring.kbx': No such file or directory

The key fingerprint matches (35BAA0B33E9EB396F59CA838C0BA5CE6DC6315A3).

Is the Public ring is somewhere else on devuan ?

Thanks.

WHERE ARE MY GITLAB PROJECTS ???

Devuan has migrated from the gitlab store.
You should register here and migrate your projects.

Is this url still the GIT for Devuan ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm using Chimaera 4 and I ❤️ it !

of course I'm looking to upgrade it to Daedalus 5.0 or excalibur

But I've done a LOT of core/system changes like in `/etc/sysctl.d` disabling a lot a Daemon etc etc..

So is an upgrade would be wise ? or should I start with a fresh install ?

Thanks

Hi,

I would like to be noticed for every new Devuan release.

I like very much RSS, but it seem there is none available on devuan.org

So for now I will subscribe on https://dev1galaxy.org/extern.php?actio … 2&type=rss ( News & Announcements )

But this also include other news than release, So I humbly propose to create a new forum section (Release) that will contain duplicate/link post of only release ?

Cheers.

Hi,

I'm serving websites (trough Python). For the moment the venv are located under /home/aUser/Sites I'm wondering if it's a good place ? Maybe a place like /Sites will be better ?

Is there any concern doing so ?

Thanks.

#24 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] install GCC etc.. offline ? » 2024-05-23 17:49:05

deb cdrom:[Devuan GNU/Linux 5.0.1 daedalus amd64 - desktop 20230914]/ daedalus contrib main non-free non-free-firmware

a "simple"

apt install gcc

works.

if anyone have a good documentation about apt I'm all ears smile
