#306 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » (Lenovo T400/Jessie) no suspend » 2020-07-15 08:16:17

Thank you,

problem has been solved by upgrading to Ascii.
The energy consumption on battery seems quite similar, so my previous observation might have been wrong.

Suspend on Devuan Jessie XFCE4 did not work on the T400 when closing the laptop-lid, but only when evoking suspension through the power button or by typing "pm-suspend" in terminal.

On Devuan Ascii however, the suspension also functions when closing the laptop-lid.

Hello ,

on a Thinkpad T400 i installed Devuan Asciii and everything seemed to function just fine (Suspend, Trackpad etc)
however, upon launching *powertop* i noticed that on Battery there was a discharge around 20W which seemed way to high to me (for a Laptop with internal graphics only on a Centrino Duo CPU (P8400 or P8600).

Therefore i tried with with Devuan Jessie and interesting, the powertop now reports around 12W on reduced brightness which seems OK to me.

So i think on this laptop Devuan Jessie is a good solution;

Trackpad can be manually enabled with the help of Debian Wiki

https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebia … Trackpoint

however, i noticed that the *Suspend* does not work out of the box, and even when i change the settings in XFCE (which were not setted to *suspend* upon closing lid), nothing happens.

Does someone know of a package i might miss to get this functionality back?

thank you very much.

#309 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » (beowulf) mac samba share no longer accessible » 2020-06-14 12:55:29

thank you,

yes, the error was probably on (my) mac-side.

resetted the whole network settings on the mac by deleting the respective *.plist and now the network sharing is functioning correctly and the mac is also shown in the devuan network.

please mark as solved.

#310 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » CUPS Network Printer @Rock64 not found » 2020-06-13 15:41:23

Hello,

i have a small SingleBoardComputer Rock64 that i am trying to configure as a Print Server with Ubuntu 18.04 and CUPS for my Epson Et-4750.

The Printer is configured in CUPS @Rock64 where it is connected physically via USB cable.

The printer however is not shown in Devuan in CUPS at his location @Rock64.
It is recognized as Network printer (generically) because it is connected via Network Cable to the Router, but not specifically the Rock64 Configuration is shown.

#313 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » (beowulf) mac samba share no longer accessible » 2020-06-10 19:43:33

Thanks chris2be8,

i have also a NFS share activated on the macmini,

but this also does not show up on Devuan Beowulf when i click on "Browse Network"

#314 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » (beowulf) mac samba share no longer accessible » 2020-05-26 23:04:01

hmm, i don't know,

i already had installed

like

sudo apt install gvfs*

#315 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Bluetooth audio - connects to device, but no audio output » 2020-05-22 20:55:52

i have mostly resorted installing all packages

bluetooth*

and

blueman*

when bluetooth was needed.

it seems there has been not so much progress with bluetooth, especially when one wants to use alsa-only.

However, blueman may be gnome specific, and not inclueded in Devuan?
it always seemed to me that with gnome, bluetooth was neatlier integreated, but i would also prefer KDE over it.

Hello ,

i have noticed that on Devuan Beowulf i can no longer access the Smb share from my MacMini Server (running Mac OSX 10.6 hence Samba V.1)

on a separate partition running Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa i noticed the same issue, but got cleared with the help of this trick here

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1232691 … access-nas

however, on Devuan Beowulf, the same trick fails.

it seems also, that the

gvfs-smb

package is not included?

Thank you very much for the help.

Hello ,

i noticed that although running the *latest* Devuan Beowulf the following video would not play in Firefox 68.6.0esr

https://www.rt.com/news/479938-horde-lo … di-arabia/

When i click on the second video
the message would appear *The media could not be played.

The same video would play fine however in Seamonkey Browser.

Wonder what is causing this behaviour?
(have installed Bluhell Firewall and Ublock Origin Extension)

Thank you!

Yes,  That is correct.  Was the package you were looking for there?

This is a useful page for sources.list information.

Still getting error

E: The value 'beowulf-backports' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources

Maybe the error is related to the !Italian! sources.list?

Would be this package
https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw … iptvsimple

i still could include it via Deb-Multimedia, but those packages are built against Debian, so it would be a double-risk, but most of the time it is quite a good solution. Still it would be nice to find the package in Beowulf.
Noticed that on Ascii it is included, and on Beowulf it seems only few Kodi-addons avaiable.
Thank you.

Thanks for all your help.

too bad i did not notice that= chimaera,

as i upgraded toCeres (Planet1) and my ability to rest*hibernate* and the like was gone.

also, here https://pkginfo.devuan.org/ the package search for

testing

is greyed out, so it is not seeable if

chimaera

has python3.8?

Thanks again, hope to find a stabler solution with Linux.

Ciao, io sarei interessato.

Ho visto che si puó creare anche un gruppo Telegram (istallabile su LInux Desktop).

#325 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Python3.8 / Testing? » 2020-03-29 11:12:15

it seems the

beowulf-backports

are not yet available,

so i resorted to include

ceres

and could install python3.8 from there (next to upgrade some other packages).
after i changed repository from

to

the packages from ceres would become installable (to solve the error above, again

sudo hwclock --hctosys 

had to be applied > so the system has problems with timezone fuss in the european-union > understandably)

hope this will not lead to further complications
