#26 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » UDEV problem - Brother MFC7420 » 2020-02-26 14:25:35
try installing libmtp-runtime and check again..
has been installed.
I just did an upgrade to an old i386 machine (ASCII+backports) and installed xsane+cups there. I noticed that udev had been replaced by eudev. Same problem after the upgrade.
regarding the linux image: on another machine (notebook) the proposed 4.9.18-06 kernel lead to an unbootable system unless i also installed linux-firmware-free. Which is not a dependency. But i'll give it a try

Hello, i reinstalled my desktop machine with Beowulf (as an upgrade from ASCII 2.1)
Everything seems to work fine, with one severe exception: my MFP printer is not accessible, neither as a printer nor as a scanner.
The following error message does occur after the device is detected normally:
[72188.051622] usb 1-1.3: new full-speed USB device number 11 using ehci-pci

...I verified that this is actually the MFC7429.
As .../1.1.3 appears to contain all the subdevices of the printer. So my question: did the device naming scheme change recently? Should i switch back to an older kernel until this is represented in udev/mtp ?
BTW: here the output of uname -a

On my very new notebook i (64bit ASCII) i tried Iridium, but failed due to a library version mismatch - the binary is made for Ubuntu.
Today i gave it a try after upgrading to beowulf. Well, to make it short: it crashed.
reminds me of the shortest version of ancient Netscape 2 ...
#!/bin/sh
touch core
/bin/echo "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" >&2
exit -1Back to the audio problem: on my systems (both beowulf as well as ascii) the browsers work directly on card0 - and they mix: chromium, palemoon, qupzilla, vlc
No additional config required. libpulse is pulled in by the dependencies and surely used (but vlc was a self made ALSA version without anything pulse).
The only thing that must be ensured if an additional high quality sound card is used: it must be assigned by the kernel as card0. Even if the onboard sound is disabled in BIOS (my desktop plays through a mixing console attached through USB), additional cards are by default not mapped as card0.
(i could not check the behavior with multichannel devices).

environments
machine a:
Linux v165062 2.6.32-042stab140.4 #1 SMP Fri Oct 11 11:36:17 MSK 2019 i686 GNU/Linux
sysvinit and related programs: 2.88dsf-59.9+devuan2_i386
machine b:
Linux v165051 2.6.32-042stab140.4 #1 SMP Fri Oct 11 11:36:17 MSK 2019 i686 GNU/Linux
sysvinit and related programs: 2.88dsf-59.2+devuan2_i386
dependencies all on latest patch level like machine a, well except the selinux lib.
You see two vservers in an old OpenVZ environment hosted on the same physical hardware. Both started as Debian 7 installations and were upgraded through Debian/Devuan lenny.
Machine a(!) hangs during init, machine b boots just fine. During the upgrade of machine a, sysvinit-core did not install correctly. I reinstalled manually from the system console.
Strange enough, sysvinit-core was simply not upgraded on machine b - apt's che provides the younger binary, not the installed version.
I found a dirty workaround to get machine a up and running:
/etc/init.d/networking stop
/etc/init.d/networking start
then start the contents of /etc/rc3.d in a for loop.
I am looking for a hint to make machine a a fully bootable again. Downgrade sysvinit-core and all its dependencies? How?
Better suggestions?
BTW: both machines are productive servers, so rebooting is a problem. Especially on machine b.

This one?

Debian/Sid has it and a quick and dirty rebuild on ASCII is doable.
Yes, that one.
Falkon is going to be integrated into KDE, and hence Qupzilla will die, at least as a standalone browser.
There is a significant community outside the KDE/GNOME/XFCE folks, and these (or maybe especially these?) might be the main community for the smaller browser projects independent on any desktop.
Anyway, regardless if someone likes midori or not - it is part of debian and hence devuan. In a meanwhile old version. A reasonably well tested port might be a serious candidate for the backports, won't it?
But anyway, i think i'll try a build and check the sid patches before, as soon as i have the time.

No picture but a description. Windowmaker. Style "Golden". Background suitable image or just "wheat shades". Terminal urxvt with X11 font color "gold", background a really dark gray. wmtime as the only dockapp, well on the notebook wmbattery, too.
Still clean and elegant after all these years (i am using wmaker since version 0.17)
#32 Re: Off-topic » Life after Firefox » 2019-03-25 18:42:01
Well, we all have our preferences. Here on my large ASCII desktop (64bit hardware with 32 bit OS) i am running qupzilla (pretty unstable...), chromium and palemoon more or less permanently and midori for specific tasks where i want to ensure that everything is cleared after the session (banking...).
In NetBSD/i386 midori is the only acceptable browser - native alternative is just an old and slow version of firefox... but anyway, midori is an interesting project i am following (and using) for quite a while. And midory 7 uses a much cleaner GUI that 0.5.11 ... so it would be really nice if there was at least a debian package..
On my very new notebook i (64bit ASCII) i tried Iridium, but failed due to a library version mismatch - the binary is made for Ubuntu.
So in conclusion, there seems to be the need of a free, not too feature overloaded web browser, ideally independent on any specific GUI environment.
#33 Re: Off-topic » Life after Firefox » 2019-03-25 15:53:35
Hi, maybe it is best to continue in this thread although it is fairly old:
midori. More specific its latest version, midori-7. On my old box running NetBSD 8.0 it looks really promising. (And Midori 0.5.11 crashed when i treid to log into paypal.) Any packackes available for Devuan (i am here on ASCII)?
