#1 Re: Devuan » Praise for the security updates » 2024-01-25 17:43:22
On the other hand, there was yet another set of xorg security updates that we don’t get because it's forked.
#2 Re: Other Issues » Not seeing recent openssh security update on Daedalus? » 2023-12-26 18:39:55
openssh-client finally showed up. I wonder why this security update took four days to make its way through Devuan.
#3 Re: Other Issues » Security updates for forked packages? (e.g. xorg-server) » 2023-12-24 00:01:54
That shows just xorg-server-source, but the runtime pieces have names like xserver-xorg-*. And the xserver-xorg-core in Daedalus is 2:21.1.7-3+deb12u2devuan1.

xorg-server had vulnerabilities fixed in Debian about six days ago. I know Devuan’s is forked because of the libseat situation.
In such a case, is “TODO: merge xorg-server security fixes” added to some list of items somewhere, or…?

About a day and a half ago, Debian announced “For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u2.”
I haven’t seen the update, and pkginfo.devuan.org search for openssh* shows 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u1 for daedalus and no mention of daedalus-security.
Is something wrong?
#6 Re: Other Issues » video not waking up after suspend » 2023-10-20 16:03:44
There's a more recent fix in the X server that could be relevant: https://bugs.devuan.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=799. And, if nowhere else, I suppose you could get the old debs out of installation media.

Thanks!

I as well don’t want whatever else happens to be in daedalus-proposed-updates. How would I set my pinning properly?
I looked around and found apt_preferences(5), and I think I have an idea of what to do for Package and Pin-Priority, but it is not obvious what would be correct for Pin: release a= or n= to correspond to daedalus-proposed-updates.
I don’t want to get it wrong and make a mess and need more help to undo it all.
#9 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Daedalus, seatd, can’t have multiple X sessions » 2023-08-22 19:11:47
Another possibility is probably within the infinitude of git.devuan.org. Maybe something will happen on some branch in https://git.devuan.org/devuan/xorg-server/branches as an indication of code getting into Daedalus. Or maybe not. That might be not the right region of git at all.
#10 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Daedalus, seatd, can’t have multiple X sessions » 2023-08-21 15:39:53
One possibility might be to look at
https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=xorg
https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=package&q=*seat*each day. I would have to recognize when version numbers had changed.
#11 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Daedalus, seatd, can’t have multiple X sessions » 2023-08-20 15:27:01
Given that I won’t be using that Daedalus system regularly until this has been fixed, what is the most efficient way to check periodically from somewhere else whether the fix has happened yet?
#12 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Daedalus, seatd, can’t have multiple X sessions » 2023-08-19 23:30:19
I'm not sure there is a bug report, but that particular issue of having multiple Xorg (in different VT) with seatd, is currently being worked on, and I believe an update is coming fairly soon.
I’m glad to know that!
I don’t see a bug report, but I’m not experienced with the bug tracker.
#13 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Daedalus, seatd, can’t have multiple X sessions » 2023-08-19 14:43:47
Would it be more appropriate to have this topic moved to a lower-level subforum where more of the right people might see it, since, strictly speaking, this subforum suggests being about things running on X and not about getting X to run.
If this forum is even capable of moving topics, that is.

I have always been using a plain startx in each, but using startx -- :1 for the second one fails in the same way.

I startx on one vt (pretty minimal, starts up a window manager).
I try to startx again on another vt — same user or different user — and it fails. seatd says "Could not add client: seat is VT-bound and has an active client".
Since I don’t know whether being VT-bound is good or bad, I found SEATD_VTBOUND=0 and tried that on the seatd invocation. But seatd is still unhappy because it still sees an active client regardless.
I presume switching away from a vt is supposed to make an X session become *not* active somehow.
#16 Re: Installation » /dev/sda11 has unsupported feature(s): FEATURE_C12 » 2023-08-05 03:02:45
It looks like FEATURE_C12 may be orphan_file. I'd heard that new mkfs.ext4 was going to use that feature by default, and that older versions of e2fsck weren't going to understand it
