I'd like to see /var/log/refractasnapshot.log. Send it to me in email or paste it somewhere and give me the link. Or read it and see if there's something obvious. I wouldn't expect the decompression error on the initrd to cause a 0-byte iso to be created.

Edit: I just realized you ran the non-gui version, which doesn't make much of a log file unless you run it with the debug option. (That happens automatically with the gui version.)   Run sudo refractasnapshot -d

Make sure you didn't run out of hard drive space. You might need to exclude some things to make the system copy and the squashfs smaller. (3.9G is pretty big.)

Thanks,

the /var/log/refractasnapshot.log is ndeed 0bytes.

sudo refractasnapshot -d

also gives

Hello

i tried this 

sudo refractasnapshot

1. Create a snapshot (uefi enabled)

yielded

total size is 9,239,018,468  speedup is 1.00

then i tried

2. Re-squash and make iso (no-copy)

which yielded

Hello ,

i have tried Beowulf on 2 of my Computer and with both i have the same problem:

one of three monitors gets no picture / remains dark after login.

during bootup all three monitors are connected/and visible.

pc1
amd a10-9700
with integrated r7 graphics
connected with dvi, hdmi to dvi, vga

pc2
ryzen 5 2600
rx 560
connected with dvi, hdmi to dvi, dp to dvi.

both pc have firmware-amd-graphics and linux-firmware-(nonfree) installed.

on ubuntu all 3 monitors are happily recognized and active after login, same on debian buster (only after installing the necessary firmware though).

Hello ,

i would like to ask you professionals what the best way is to create an

customized

Devuan Beowulf .installer

that can become .iso

that is possibly installable from iso then to harddrive or usb.

the task is that i would like to include quite some packages that i normally use and then facilitate the install on other computers.

this refractainstaller tool is the right one?
is this feasible?

Thank you!

Hello,

is it possible to include package

"lsb"

which i would need for the printer (epson) drivers.

On Ascii it was possible to install from Debian Jessie the packages; now it seems no more possible.
Thank you.

#357 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » compile firefox-esr (52) --enable-alsa ? » 2020-03-18 20:58:52

kapqa

maybe this has not been playing because alsa is picking the internal HDMI as the choice 0
and snd_intel_audio as choice 1

after deleting .asoundrc (that was used for selecting a usb soundcard)
and changing the order of sound cards as here
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … sound_card

the sound would play.

Thank you very much, forgot quite about apulse.

on devuan jessie it is not available, but on beowulf i could install it;

however, the audio would still not get through.

thanks ,

i have tested now a bit with devuan jessie and beowulf,
and it seems that the

alsa

package is missing on both distros.

some things don't seem to function as they would on an older distro like

lubuntu 12.04

which is alsa-only.

when i try to playback audio in browser from this site here

http://www.gaia.com/

it would not play on my alsa-only devuan computer;
however, on the same computer, running lubuntu 12.04, the audio would play.
something is probably missing on the alsa-side, but i cannot see how to install the packages from the repo as alsa seems missing altogether.

Thank you very much for the precious work on this distro°!

Using it quite some time now!

What i noticed: even on Beowulf (XFCE) the network discovery is not present.
To "browse network" become operable in Thunar, i have to install first "gvfs" and "gvfs*"

dont know if this is a bug or because of security concerns;

also great to see that Alsa is still supported for firefox *ilike*

Not recommended though, old versions of FF are riddled with known security vulnerabilities. Your system will be wide open if you run those.

@rolfie: the Mozilla FF versions are not compiled with --enable-alsa. And they have user studies (embedded spyware) enabled by default, unlike the De??an packages.

thank you for your help!

is it possible to

extract the contents of .amd64 deb file locally to achieve something like a local portable copy of firefox-esr instead of installing it directly onto the devuan/debian system?

the only alternative to firefox seemed to me seamonkey, but some add-ons are not compatible with seamonkey.

i still use this older guide here to remove pulseaudio with alsa

http://linuxg.net/how-to-properly-repla … n-squeeze/

problematic only is alsa a bit when i try to use an external usb soundcard, as it requires some effort to get this soundcard working;

with pulseaudio it is more elegant, just by installving pavucontrol one can easily manage several soundcards.

hello ,

thank yo very much for your help.

today i downgraded to devuan jessie on my t60 laptop (the newer devuan/debian seems no longer to offer icedtea-plugin for java, needed for some playback on older websites)

now i have firefox 68.6.0esr (64-bit) ESR quantum? release

is it possible to use this browser also with alsa-only?

i don't think  i will be able to use basilisk on here with devuan jessie;

normally i use firefox 52 esr + seamonkey + chromium (for netflix)
but the firefox 68 seems quite fast and most of the things i need seem to function.
sadly, the older plugins won't function, but quite a lot of add-ons have already been updated or adapted.

it seems that it is missing gnome-mplayer which is also deprecated since jessie

Hello ,

i would like to use gecko-mediaplayer as npapi plugin for firefox 52.

it seeems that for some reason this package (like totem-mozilla) is no longer being included/developed in recent distro.

is it enough to install it by downloading it from here

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/gecko-mediaplayer

and putting the files in the respective folders as listed here

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd6 … r/filelist

for some reason with debian there is no retrocompatibility guaranteed, and very often a package that was for jessie would no longer be installable on a higher iteration like stretch or buster, which is a real pity.

is is possible to download the .deb for firefox-esr 52 with alsa enabled?
the version on devuan ascii is ff-esr 68+ but i would prefer to use an earlier version for compliance with legacy add-ons.
i think firefox-esr 52.9 is the last to support officially the legacy add-ions.

i do use firefox as my main browser and would like to learn to compile it for use with alsa-only system.

it seems that the newer 52+ firefox require pulseaudio and also drop support for classic plugins.

this site here offers support on how to build firefox for linux desktop:

python bootstrap.py

the error comes

On Devuan Beowulf this error is still persistent (with XFCE4).

after installing "gvfs*" network places  would show up, but afterwards, when clicking a folder on my network drive,

an "open with" dialogue comes up and asks me with which program i want to open "unknown" file ...

hostname is "t400"

that was set when setting up devuan (i gave it a name whatsoever).

smtp server? non that i know of. i use thunderbird as email client.
