#427 Re: Documentation » [HowTo] Install VirtualBox 6.1.36 on DEVUAN 5 » 2022-08-31 22:52:51
I used to use vBox, I thought it was really good. Generally I used to use it for one game "DiD's F22".
Once that game was irreversibly tanked remotely, I gave up on vBox.
But I remember struggling to get vBox configured and eventaually having a system that was reliable and flexible.
I was still using Mandriva in those days.

#428 Re: Other Issues » move Devuan to a bigger partition » 2022-08-30 03:44:56
For the /home directory, I would use rsync -avh to copy files back to the new home.
But the system dir is another thing. when you format or change a drive size it will get a new UUID, you'll need that for fstab and possibly grub.
blkid and lsblk helps.

They don't ship to Australia.
I can send the bill to Aust, but not the product.
I sent an email alerting them of the ommission, and they suggested I use the .com.au site, <edit> https://www.spreadshirt.com.au/shop/clothing/t-shirts/ </edit> ... but I can't find the product (coffee cup, t'shirt) on that site.
Looks like they don't want to sell stuff.

a readme.txt from https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla. … README.txt
Please use download.mozilla.org to retrieve the latest Firefox beta.
For example, if you wish to download the US English installer for Windows (32bit)
the url is
https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-beta-latest&os=win&lang=en-US
This could be pasted into the location bar of a browser, or used with curl or wget, e.g.
wget -O FirefoxSetup.exe "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-beta-latest&os=win&lang=en-US"
...see the doc for a listing of the commandline options...
you may see the versions here... https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla. … /releases/
#435 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] install either Firefox Beta or Nightly » 2022-08-07 22:49:47
I see it's not nightly, or Beta but, whenever a dot release is released I get a new version to download.
I'm running FF 103.0.1 from mozilla ... https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

#438 Re: Installation » devuan_daedalus_5.0.preview-20220704_amd64_pool1.iso » 2022-07-28 23:15:34
Hi, I installed devuan_daedalus_5.0.preview-20220725_amd64_desktop.iso to a spare HDD yesterday. (edit iso name)
It was interesting to see the desktops of Gnome (I have seen it Gnome on Ubuntu Uni PC's) since 2009/10)
I like the gtk3 Login manager, maybe because It's different, refreshing change.
I installed lxde, lxqt, Gnome, KDE and Mate.
The Devs have done a great job on this. Thank you.
My biggest surprise was how slow HDD's are in comparison with SSD's.
I did a simple install setup, just one partition for /. There is a swap file as well.
I'm tempted to upgrade Dev4 to Dev5... maybe.
#439 Re: DIY » /etc/network/interfaces vs dhclient -s » 2022-07-28 22:50:57
if you have a connection to the internet you may try Sheildsup (press "Proceed") "All Service Ports" https://www.grc.com/shieldsup
it will "Determine the status of your system's first 1056 ports".
Quick and easy.

Btw, do NOT use dd to backup your disk to an existing backup drive. Unless you don't care about the data that's already on it :-\What I meant is something like
dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/backup/sda-backup.ddwith the USB disk mounted at /media/backup. So my dd backup would just be a ~30 GB file on that disk (among other back-uped things).
Thanks for the get/set selection examples!
Gregor
Just backup what you need... separately. Because you may end up in a loop when dd gets up to /media and starts backing itself up.
dd is a good copy-disk, but rsync can do directories and to make it a bit easier (faster/smaller) use rsync instead of dd.
rsync -avh /usr/local /media/backup/sda-backup/usr/
rsync -avh /home /media/backup/sda-backup/my two cents worth. :-) All the best!

#447 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] edit music file properties as in Windows » 2022-06-11 00:05:47
easytag is in the usual repository, but it has strange behavior. I installed it, started it, looked around, and changed the directory, only to be confronted with a message along the lines of: "Files have been modified; save or discard?" Except that I made no changes at all. I uninstalled it.
I also found easytag had some database lookup and (re)generate actions happening,
but once it's user-settings are configured it doesent hunt around so much.
I still like easytag.

#449 Re: Other Issues » Alsa Default issues - Audiobox USB + mobo Onboard + AMD HDMI » 2022-06-06 11:47:32
Correction!
I think removing the module, as I specified before may have been causing kernel lockups.
I saw one error that mentioned the snd-hda-intel module, which is dependant on (or to) snd_hda_codec_hdmi.
I'm using HoaS's asound configuration for ~.asoundrc, No lockups.

Thank you charliebrownau, let us /me know how you go with no pulse...
I'd prefer not to use pulse but each time I try I end up with something/s not working, mostly web browsers audio.
Maybe I could use your tips.
Have a great day!
