#476 Re: Off-topic » Building a standard kernel for a specific computer. » 2023-10-26 11:43:19
In my opinion, unneeded modules don't harm the system, just take up space on disk. I even do think (never did) that they can be deleted without issues if you know what you are doing.
Agree.
The question is different - the size of the kernel and the unnecessary code in it. For example, support for Intel and AMD platforms is built into the kernel. It is clear that for a particular computer one of them is redundant. Etc...
Regards.

Would it also be the same for minor ones?
eg: 4.9x -> 4.9y?
Yes, you'll have to rebuild.
The versions are different, here in "news" you can see the changes

#478 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Lenovo Ideapad 100e F-Keys Work in Mint/Ubuntu but not Devuan/Debian » 2023-10-25 04:42:38
Perhaps the following should be added.
On my ideapad the second OS is OpenSuse 15.4. The ideapad_slidebar module in it is also “invisible” for lsmod and hardinfo.
But at the same time, function keys works in OpenSuse and Devuan.

@Altoid
Hello!
Yes, when updating the kernel you need to compile a new one. Therefore, if a standard kernel is sufficient for your tasks, there is no point in compiling.
The most time-consuming task is the initial editing. There are more than 5000 lines in the file, about the same number of questions that need to be answered correctly.
Then it’s easier, just use this configuration file of yours.
My “couch surfer” Lenovo s205 is AMD 300/4Gb, even a slight improvement with a custom kernel is noticeable. Well, kind of fun...
Regards.

These packages are available in Devuan.
Maybe they are modified in Ubuntu, then there should be patches for the kernel code.
#482 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Lenovo Ideapad 100e F-Keys Work in Mint/Ubuntu but not Devuan/Debian » 2023-10-23 19:36:29
There are two kernel modules for ideapad (Daedalus for example )
/lib/modules/6.1.0-10-amd64/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko /lib/modules/6.1.0-10-amd64/kernel/drivers/input/misc/ideapad_slidebar.ko Are they loaded?
#483 Re: Off-topic » Building a standard kernel for a specific computer. » 2023-10-23 09:35:28
Daedalus.

Another question is that for this you need to have a modern computer.

#484 Re: Other Issues » malware on devuan repos or false positives? » 2023-10-23 09:02:00
yes, you're missing something, "1st message on devuan mirror files" is more accurate.
Understood thanks.
PS. You are needlessly offended.
From my own experience, I accept the skepticism of my colleagues. I stopped checking my home desktop with all sorts of сheckroot, etc. because over the years I have never seen any suspicious programs. As I understand it, home users have little interest in hackers, and if something gets into the distribution, there are more qualified people who will make a fuss.
Devuan is more of a distribution for enthusiasts than for cooperative or business use, security requirements and the risk of hacking are probably lower.
But that's just my opinion.
Regards.
#485 Re: Other Issues » malware on devuan repos or false positives? » 2023-10-20 15:27:25
that tool (clamav really) was running for years scanning all server files. this is the 1st time i got notifications and though i immediately thought of it as false positives, i guessed it'd be better to get official confirmation...
and not all "digests" give false positives notifications.
Why is it needed if after years of use this is its first message and it’s false? Or am I missing something?
Regards.

WHAT=sleep

PID=1217
WHO=NetworkManager
WHY=NetworkManager needs to turn off networks

This is Daedalus, which, according to distrowatch.com, does not have systemd.
#489 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Wireles-regdb. » 2023-10-09 08:56:32
The situation is obvious, the package is not tightly linked to other packages, is not installed by default, and apt does not object when it is removed.
Although the kernel still looks for it when loading.
Whether this is good or bad, as well as the issue of responsibility for the use of prohibited radio frequencies, is up to the developers to decide.

My post is not about the Wi-Fi card driver.
Quote:
"Linux allows changing regulatory domains in compliance with regulatory restrictions world wide, including the US FCC. In order to achieve this devices always respect their programmed regulatory domain and a country code selection will only enhance regulatory restrictions. This is in accordance with the FCC part 15 country code selection knowledge base publication number 594280. As an example if your device was programmed for operation in the US which allows operation on channels 1-11 on the 2.4 GHz band and you visit Japan which allows operation on channels 1-14 and you change your regulatory domain to JP you will not be able to use channel 12, 13 or 14 (CCK). But if you have a device programmed for operation in Japan and visit the US and you select US as your regulatory domain you will have channel 12-14 disabled..."

The question concerns computers with WI-FI.
Devuan Daedalus, when loading there is a pause to search for regulatory.db.
This is a database with the conditions for using WI-FI in a specific user's country.
It is in the optional
wireles-regdbpackage, which must be installed.
Otherwise, the user may turn out to be a criminal by accidentally turning on a WI-FI channel that is prohibited in his country.

HI rdav.
Of course, we each have our own entertainment and toys.
But I really do not understand why break one OS to install another? Today, disk capacity is not a problem; if possible, you can add another disk.
Spend time and get an OS littered with unnecessary rubbish, then puzzle over why it does not work as it should ...
But, I repeat, of course this is our free choice.
Regards.
#499 Re: Installation » Debian->Devuan Install Notes » 2023-09-06 12:53:04
Why this suffering?
Why not set aside 20...30 GB of hard disk space and install a clean Devuan right away?
And you can build your own kernel, just answer 5000 questions in the configuration file.
