#1 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] ping issue » 2024-04-12 15:39:03
it seems that the issue of not being able to ping from a normal user account.
The error message
ping: socktype: SOCK_RAWfollowed by
ping: socket: Operation not permittedindicates that the user does not have the necessary permissions to use the ping command.
The error message
ping: => missing cap_net_raw+p capability or setuid?suggests that the user needs to have the cap_net_raw capability or
setuid permissionto use the ping command.
The user can add the cap_net_raw capability to their account using the following command:
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /bin/ping P.S.
You're not sending an ICMP echo request, most likely (check "ip a" at the time) you don't have a lease but only the IPv6 link local address.
#2 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Firefox and Firefox Nightly repos in Synaptic . . » 2024-04-06 10:19:09
Hello again.
I mean Firefox-esr in wayland environment works through xwayland. If you enable the option that allows firefox-esr to work in native wayland environment, firefox-esr works very poorly. The latest version of Firefox automatically detects and works in the wayland environment. However, since the wayland version in Devuan 5 is old, the latest version of Firefox, which is obviously intended for use with the latest version of wayland, works very poorly. If I switch to xwayland session it works fine....

I do NOT use ESR for all kinds of reasons.
Of course, it's not my business, but it's a bad decision. A simple example. The latest version of Firefox (not ESR) does not work well in the wayland environment (with sway), because the version of wayland in the Devuan (and Debian) repository is old and not suitable for work with the latest version of Firefox. Firefox-esr works good.

There's a similar program that has been around for years
Thank you for the info

Apt or Aptitude is much better than this nonsense called Nala...

Excalibur and Ceres are affected. Daedalus and older is not affected.
P.S.
Updating is safe but we don't know what the obfuscated backdoor code did. It might persist even after you upgrade the package itself.

Just add your user to

Hello.
For better experience, i use these packages:
qemu-kvm libvirt-clients libvirt-daemon libvirt-daemon-system bridge-utils virtinst virt-managerAlso, don't forget to add your user to libvirt and libvirt-qemu groups:
adduser username libvirt
adduser username libvirt-qemu #12 Re: Other Issues » Installing latest xfce4-terminal » 2024-02-29 12:09:09
You can get all dependencies of xfce4-terminal with simple command:
apt build-dep xfce4-terminalP.S.
NEVER run
./configureas root.
Just run it as regular user.

I don't really understand why you need to manually remove these directories with files, if the command
apt autoremove --purgedoes it?

#15 Re: Off-topic » Is wayland out of the question for devuan? » 2024-02-20 12:18:28
Do the devs not care about wayland at all?
Wayland is a constantly and constantly changing system. if you want comfortable experiences with wayland, then Devuan stable (and Debian) is not that system. I would suggest traying Artix.
Although sway works great in Devuan, but Firefox-esr only works with xayland, and if you try to use the latest Firefox, it will work naturally through wayland, but it very buggy. This is because the version of wayland in Devuan Daedalus is old, and the latest versions of wayland work fine with the latest Firefox. So here we are dealing with a vicious circle…

Maybe it's not my thing, but I think the easiest way would be to do a clean install of Daedalus.

#19 Re: Devuan » Devuan vs Arcolinux » 2024-02-15 12:18:57
You can try Artix linux. Artix Linux is a rolling-release distribution, based on Arch Linux. It uses real init systems, because PID1 must be simple, secure and stable.
#20 Re: Installation » [SOLVED» Nvidia and kernel 6.1.0.18 - not good! » 2024-02-14 17:00:43
A new kernel build is available in the devuan proposed-updates repository.
Proposed-updates are packages that will become part of the next stable point release but are not fully tested yet. It is usually safe to use them....

ntpd is a surprise. Maybe I should have installed the OpenBSD ntp daemon instead.
Hello.
You can simply use chrony. It is very lightweight and simple daemon.

Still, its mega buggy and for this reason, I will avoid it as long as possible.
I have been using wayland for over a year on Artix linux with s6 init. I've also been using Wayland since the release of Devuan Daedalus. I can say only one thing - if you use open source video card drivers, there will be no problems. Everything works fine. And I'll repeat it again - Wayland is independent of systemd....
#24 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » fvwm or fvwm3 what to install? » 2024-01-26 16:52:21
3 different versions in the repo.
So what? I don't see any problem with that.
#25 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » fvwm or fvwm3 what to install? » 2024-01-26 16:43:33
But i am talking about two packages avaible at devuan repos. Its bit werid that why i am ask.
It is not weird.
The Devuan package contains some changes from upstream in order to ensure that fvwm3 and fvwm don't conflict.
All the helper binaries are renamed from fvwm-name to fvwm3-name.This includes fvwm3-config, fvwm3-convert-2.6, fvwm3-menu-desktop, fvwm3-menu-directory, fvwm3-menu-xlock, fvwm3-perllib, and fvwm3-root.
Can you explain?
They are only similar, or rather identical, in their appearance. The difference lies in the configuration and source code.
