#502 Re: Off-topic » Anyone know how to compile firefox from source from Devuan? » 2021-11-13 21:09:44
here's what I did. from git,
installing firefox from git
archived : /home/glenn/local/archive/src/apt/SOURCES/firefox-93.0.tar.bz2
cd /opt
wget https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/93.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-93.0.tar.bz2
tar xfj firefox-93.0.tar.bz2
/opt/firefox/firefox
remove the old firefox links
mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefoxold
or after backup of bookmarks and passwordz
apt remove firefox-esr
create new link
ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefoxWorks for me, I hope it works for you.
ps. no compiling ;-)
#503 Re: Installation » How to have updated firefox-esr in Chimaera? » 2021-11-12 23:20:17
The ESR version is the repositories is no longer supported by Mozilla and the new version is blocked by Mesa & rust:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/firefox-esr
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=998679
Just download the tarball from Mozilla and live with the added telemetry. It's the only way to be secure online.
I did the same....

Status. Since writing this post I have reloaded both my laptop and desktop systems to the new Chimaera (amd64 desktop) release and all is back to normal.
I have got into the habit of using the now familiar apt-get for command-line repo installs of packages and never really used apt unless I was following directions from a post here... For packages from my .deb backups I generally use dpkg -i -G .
Anyhow, Live and learn. I liked the excitement of the rolling release of testing, but I prefer the durabillity of the official release.
Thank you, sorry for the noise. ;-)

The testing & Daedalus is there because I felt adventurous a few weeks back.
Chimaera is the medium I installed from lately. (I do that a bit)
And Beowulf is for backports and other packages I use that weren't available in Chimaera at the time I re-installed the OS.
This is on my laptop where I feel a bit more adventurous.
I was wondering how to fix the signatures as it mentions in the error, changing version numbers and codenames...
Thank you for the replies

Hi I got this message when updating today, Knowing the newest release has arrived.
I had a look at the man page but didn't see a way to correct the error, can anyone help.
Repository 'http://deb.devuan.org/merged testing InRelease' changed its 'Version' value from '4.0.0' to '5.0'Repository 'http://deb.devuan.org/merged testing InRelease' changed its 'Codename' value from 'chimaera' to 'daedalus'This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details.My sources list, yes... it could be simpler.

linux-image-amd64 is a "Task" package, enables updates for your amd64 kernel.
What you do need is Guile, dkms, linux-headers and linux-headers-common to suit your kernel version, linux-image-5.10.0-9-amd64 (5.10.70-1) installed to get your nvidia drivers/modules installed and running.

it was as if someone has opened up my computer and removed all network cards.

I've read this thread and it seems there's been much confusion about this process, but there is a simple solution: use Rufus to create the boot USB stick under Windows. Rufus has always worked under Windows for me to make bootable Linux sticks for many distros: Debian, Devuan, Linux Mint, Slackware, CentOS, et cetera. Rufus is "intelligent" when creating USB boot sticks and you do not have to install Rufus if you use its "portable" edition. It has great support if you need it also. Best part: it's free.
I hope this helps.
+1 Rufus, had always worked for me too.

r8169 is a realtek network chip of some type. If your network is ok you can disregard the error message.
That file is probably in one of the other firware packages. Or the system was too slow to load it in time for the message. IMHO
