#551 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Devuan CD2 do not boot » 2023-09-30 19:16:57
You can only boot CD1 and then also read in CD2 during installation when the installer asks.
In addition the message indicates a problem with Secure Boot. Switch it to "Other OS" in the Bios.

If I am not mistaken you are on Daedalus, correct?
Then forget the idea to install a complex Ubuntu application on a Devuan system. The required dependencies live in their Ubuntu universum, and most likely they do not fit to Debian/Devuan. And for sure an Ubuntu package will not be considered for fixing it into Devuan.

Tested the devuan_daedalus_5.0.1_amd64_netinstall.iso in a VBox VM overwriting an older installation.

That is one of these small flat modern M2-SSDs you find in up to date computers nowadays, typically 22mm wide and 80mm long (other lengths possible). They talks to the PCIe bus via a protocol called NVMe while conventional SSDs like SATA HDDs use AHCI as communications protocol.
Have a look on Wikipedia.
I am pretty sure the main drive in your Win11 laptop is a M2 NVME SSD.
#555 Re: Installation » cant boot with devuan live usb stick on Windows 11 Pro » 2023-09-22 12:34:27
can i install parallel to windows 11 pro?
Yes. As first step you will have to reduce the space Windows11 takes on the NVME.
My approach would be:
- Reduce the Win11 space by 128M using a gparted life on USB stick.
- Make sure Win11 still boots ok.
- Obtain a Devuan Daedalus netinstall (when the laptop has LAN on Board) or the Daedalus DVD if no LAN is available. Put one of them on a stick and boot from there and install into the empty space using manual partitioning.
#556 Re: Installation » cant boot with devuan live usb stick on Windows 11 Pro » 2023-09-22 12:26:02
I agree with Fred, you need to go into your bios setup and switch off secure boot, enabling/allowing legacy boot.
This is not 100% correct. You can disable Secure Boot, but normally the PC/Laptop will remain in UEFI mode. In addition, very modern UEFI implementations have skipped the possibility to enable CSM = Legacy mode.
I guess the OP will need to install Devuan in EFI mode.
#557 Re: Installation » cant boot with devuan live usb stick on Windows 11 Pro » 2023-09-21 21:27:04
I would say booting from a running OS into another one normally is impossible.
Suggestion: look into how to use boot override on the Windows laptop. Start the stick with Devuan Life from there.

#561 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] gimp not showing the menus . » 2023-09-16 18:56:48
As debian user i say no its not normal behaviour every version of gimp works there so its devuan bug.
I wouldn't blame it to Devuan. Gimp works fine and shows full menues on my Daedalus with Cinnamon DE.
@OP: which DE do you use?
Edith: by the way, except for banned packages that rely on or are systemd, the vast majority of Devuan packages are 1:1 Debian packages.

#565 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] How To install a virtual machine inside devuan chimaera, later stable » 2023-09-08 19:25:32
You can directly download VBox from this web page: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
For Chimaera use the Debian11 file, for Daedalus the Debian12 file. Copy this file to /tmp and install it as root with dpkg -i . You may also download the extension pack if you require e.g. improved USB support.
#566 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Connection to localhost:631 » 2023-09-08 17:58:32
@Andre4freedom: The automatic setup is called IPP. When I bought the printer and installed it, can't remember if it was under Beowulf or Chimaera, I got a bunch of entries in the cups administration, and none really worked. I was totally confused getting in contact to something I never saw before. So I switched off this IPP feature in the printer, deleted all the not working printers, and configured it the traditional way with a PPD file and an individual entry in cups. Kept this for Daedalus ...
#567 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Connection to localhost:631 » 2023-09-08 17:51:53
Well, problem solved.
Nemo claimed that cupsd.conf is a binary file, so initially I didn't bother to look at it. Got a hint from the German Debian forum to look at the "Listen" entries in the cupsd.conf. Tried to open it with geany in a root terminal, and found that the contents was plain text. Well, the "Listen" entries on my workstation were both identical pointing at /run/cups/cups.sock. Changed the first one to localhost:631, restarted the cups service, and voila, the problem is gone. Somehow the file was modified some time in Feb this year. There is a backup with the same timestamp which is one line longer due to a comment in line 1, the listen entries are also bad. Now I get:
# ss -ltnp sport 631
State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port Process
LISTEN 0 128 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* users:(("cupsd",pid=18184,fd=7))
LISTEN 0 128 [::1]:631 [::]:*Crosschecked with my laptop which is working: the cupsd.conf looks different and is significantly bigger. There are lots of comments in the file, not only directives for cups like on my workstation.
Interesting troubeshooting ...

Looks like no cups service is running, but why? Restarting the service has no effect on the problem.

Using http or https makes no difference. Emptied the cache, cookies, still doesn't work. A ping to 127.0.0.1 or localhost is working.
Crosschecked against my laptop: same FF-ESR version on board, connection to localhost:631 is possible, I get the cups menu.
Compared hosts and interfaces contents, the same for localhost. Difference between the two systems is that I let the network-manager handle all connections on the laptop while I use fixed IPs on my workstation.
Is it possible that I get interference from there? Tried to remove the network-manager on my workstation, but that also wants to remove Cinnamon.

I am running Daedalus with Cinnamon and Firefox ESR since about 10 months on my workstation. I did set up my Kyocera P6230 when configuring the system during this time, and I did use https://localhost:631 in FF to configure my printer. Now I tried again to see if I could find some settings again, and my up to date FF-ESR tells me no connection to https://localhost:631.
I have checked hosts, network settings and anything I could think about. Could find nothing wrong. No more connection to localhost re. setting up cups. Can't tell when I last used it.
What may have changed meanwhile?
#572 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Howto hibernate » 2023-09-07 20:33:10
The intention is not to switch power off the PC after putting it to sleep. Its just to enable some sort of power saving when I am off of my PC during the day. I switch off anyhow during the night.
Well, my experience during the past days is that mostly its working fine. Also the backports kernel 6.4 installed today seems to work.
Just had an issue once some days ago that I could not update web page in Firefox any more. A reboot was required to fix.
For me its solved.
#573 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Keyboard issue, theme installation » 2023-09-07 12:14:15
Show the printout of:

#574 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Keyboard issue, theme installation » 2023-09-07 11:56:34
Next time one problem per post please, makes answering and follow up much easier.
To the keyboard issue: I never cared for any keyboard model. Locale and keyboard layout are usually defined during setup, im my case Germany/German. Maybe you take a read into the Ubuntu wiki, or search the web a bit for the keywords "linux configure locale" and "linux configure keyboard".
What I haven't seen is a exact description of your problem, so a specific answer isn't possible.
My locale shows:
$ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=In /etc/default/keyboard I find:
$ cat /etc/default/keyboard
# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE
# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="de"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""
BACKSPACE="guess"That works for me.
Maybe you tell as a bit more about the problem? What is your locale? Which keyboard settings are used? What does not work?
