but Xrandr does not detect the 2nd monitor

With Xinerama 0 the right screen (nvidia) remains dark.
With Xinerama 1, the virtual screen extend over both monitors. Mouse moves and windows can be shifted around.

1. there is a lot of loading and unloading modules, which may also explain complained slowness . Can this be avoided?

2. How to get xrandr working ? xrandr conflicts with xinerama. But i need xinerama for both monitors at the moment.

I sold my car last week.
I have a public transport ticket and a bicycle and two legs still in good order.
At least here it is possible to have no car and still come around. 
NO Car is better than ANY Car from the environmental view.
and Railway is better than Street traffic from the environmental view.
and no traffic is better than any traffic from the environmental view.
Use your choices.

Electric traction

has been around since 1879 on the railway with now only 20% of the energy consumption of the trucking industry.

I am wondering, what these lines are with the dash - at the end . Never seen this before.
Something to do with docker , which I recently installed?

so FB Groups is the only place to converse with other like minded people - in private groups, I hasten to add. wink

There are still people around who refuse to contribute to FB/instapound/wazzapp, and promote their refusal to those who invite to these groups

I use dnsmasq and these blacklists/blocklists
https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists
and my own blacklist . mostly FAGAM .
Also all sites, which refuse adblockers, will be added and not be accessed anymore.
This avoids a lot of traffic beginning with outgoing DNS inquiries. Saves time

Is it possible to delete a thread ?
I have opened a thread and described a proceeding which seem to not work anymore. see

It would be wise, to delete the thread otherwise I have to edit and delete its contents by individual message

My internet service provider gives me a new ipv6 range /56 about every 8 weeks.
Then I stumble over this 

ssh user@some other host
Warning: the ECDSA host key for ' some other host' differs from the key for the IP address '1111:2222:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888'

Offending key for IP in /home/xx/.ssh/known_hosts:8
Matching host key in /home/xx/.ssh/known_hosts:11
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

I do not want keys based on IPv6 . Each host in my intranet has a proper name chez moi.
That should be the identification for the keys
How can I suppress this seemingly automatic host key generation from varying references?

Definitely worth using on Linux, as it is not as safe as it once was.

It is not the linux which is less safe, it is the w(h)ine install in your $HOME, which is unsafe.

Stop the wine application which offers all the uncertainties of windows.
Stick in an infected usb stick and wine will begin to work and distribute the virus inside your wine-home. I have seen this live on my Laptop.
I used to 

apt remove wine*

and then have the directories scanned for viruses.
I Used antivir for that, still existing but it is no more in the distros I know

I need to speed up changes without breaking production platform(s).
Therefore I need to have a virtual machine for three purposes inside devuan chimaera

  • Run the already installed Win10 of this host for the purpose of updating my Navi from G????n. About every 4 weeks without necessarily restarting the computer.

  • copy the local distro installation and test the update  / upgrade / dist-upgrade e.g. to daedalus for this machine

  • test a fresh install of daedalus for this machine

eventually upgrade to daedalus and stable and

  • continue to have an experimental playground for testing things.

A net search is dominated by results on running *n?x inside a win$ows environment OMFG and other commercial solutions.

this workstation failed badly on updating to daedalus. dpkg locked in on the non-free nvidia driver. It broke the distro upgrade and it needed a fresh install.
This took days. The Reinstall is described elsewhere here.
Therefore I am careful || wary || overcautious || paranoid , when tinkering on production systems. Select as appropriate.

It's good you had an alternative method for installation.

I experienced  the same problem but with a chimaera reinstall on an UEFI system. Before the upgrade to daedalus had catastrophically failed.

After reboot the system ended with a prompt of some sort (grub could not find a bootable partition). From there I managed to install the efi-grub and then could successfully start the chimaera again.
With the same USBStick I installed several old Laptops with BIOS.

The history of this problem seems to reach a bit more into history at least back to chimaera.

Hi I had a rather smooth update/upgrade/dist-upgrade from chimaera to daedalus this night.

One package did not make it : fail2ban is now in a state where it cannot be removed, purged nor reinstalled

cat fail2ban_errors

This action must fail, because the fail2ban is not running from the beginning.
Stopping a not running process must not produce an error, because the wished result is already achieved. (initscripts?)

why does the removal procedure try to start the app ? 

dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq --remove fail2ban

  same result

locate fakegooglebot | grep -E "^/etc"
/etc/fail2ban/filter.d/apache-fakegooglebot.conf
/etc/fail2ban/filter.d/ignorecommands/apache-fakegooglebot

Nothing which I understand

Now I am lost, because this hinders other install activities . Each time dpkg is called, this errors show up, of course multiple times.

The configuration is easy  and well explained.

A test run has shown that the scan works, remains to do all the folders and their deletion rules.

This Lenovo P330 thinkstation has 2 video cards. The MB one from Intel (IGD) and a PCIe x16 Nvidia P2000 (PEG)
It came with the EFI setting Videocard at "PEG" . A monitor connected to the MB remained black.
The HW adapter from DP to HDMI was missing.
I had to remove physically the nvidia video card, to be able to access the BIOS and to change it to IGD.
Then I could setup devuan chimaera on the station. Grub menu, kernel boot and xorg.conf all fine.
But with this setting the nvidia card is invisible to the OS.

Setting the EFI setting again to "auto" or "PEG" makes the display black again.

But I could ssh into the station and run lspci.

Trying to create a working xorg.conf without the nvidia is only possible when the nvidia is powered off.

While testing the other EFI videocard options auto and PEG,
I had to take the nvidia out a second time physically to get back to EFI and grub boot option menu.

I want this card only to do computations (CUDA), because my requirements for the graphical display are low.

After starting the xorg-server , the kernel should power up the PEG and rescan the PCIe bus.

Is there a way to power up the PEG via kernel command, after EFI - grub - boot - kernel - xorg have done their thing,
Despite it is turned off in EFI ?
however grub menu and console goes into the dark  and are not accessible
Edit: 2023-05-25

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"

makes everything dark.

Edit 2023-05-26

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="fbcon=map:1"

I have now moved all the sorting into folders to my e-mail provider.

However they do not provide methods to delete older mails such as system mails or  forum threads.
This remains to be solved.
