#1 Devuan Derivatives » Compositor became a victim » 2026-10-01 04:30:11

On Refracta 13, when I do a "Select a region" with xfce4-screenshooter the entire screen goes black but I'm still able to capture the known region(shows the px during grab). One of the modifications from the last week or so till now has to be the cause.
I've found that xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/use_compositing -s false disables transparency on the terminal, but it does enable me to see the screen during the region capture. I'd like to keep transparency tho 
.
Last known big changes were
xserver-xorg-core 21.1.16-1.3+deb13u1devuan1 → +deb13u4devuan1
xserver-common same jump
linux-image-amd64 6.12.86-1 → 6.12.107-1
Mesa 25.0.7-2 → 25.0.7-2+deb13u1 and installing PCSX2(first play-thru of FFX).

Ok. Ran this manualinstall_wififix.sh and got WiFi back up. Thank you everyone.

@rolfie
The directory usr/lib/firmware does not exist on my system. Will creating it and adding https://github.com/pauledd/mt7610u suffice?

@ralph.ronnquis
I've changed the apt-get sequence as proposed.
/sys/class/net only contains eth0 lo
Couple dmesg lines I noticed:
[ 6.976540] mt76x0u 3-9:1.0: ASIC revision: 76100002 MAC revision: 76502000
[ 6.977430] mt76x0u 3-9:1.0: firmware: failed to load mediatek/mt7610e.bin (-2)

You may be correct on the missing firmware.
/etc/Wireless/RT2860STA only contains only RT2860STA.dat
I tried adding RT2870STA.dat from https://github.com/pauledd/mt7610u then a reboot, to no avail. Not sure if I even did it right .

@delgado
alias cmac = 'macchanger -A eth0'
alias .z = 'source ~/zshrc'

Distro is Refracta 11(Chimaera). Please scroll down on the code text for system info(neofetch).

Two days ago I installed zsh and ohmyzsh. After all current configurations were done I ran:
apt-get autoclean; cmac; .z; apt-get dist-upgrade; apt-get upgrade; apt-get update; resetNow:
No power to usb WiFi dongle (PAU0B AC600), yet it's ID'd in lsusb and was working prior.
Connman doesn't show it even existing.
