(I still don't know why it keeps creating an access.log.1 and an error.log.1)
The logger creates a new file when the log reaches a specified size, and adds a number to the older log. e.g. syslog becomes syslog.1, the current contents remains in a new file syslog. if there was a syslog.1 before it becomes syslog.2. As many versions are kept as specified.
This function is called log-rotate.

Yes got the same ntpsec version installed, and yes, updating is a daily task.
What happens if you change the configuration in the left window which is the one from the gnome-system-tools from manual to internet time?
Or switch the Network Time button in the right hand window to enabled?
According to my notes this is required to enable updating the time from a server.
BTW: just learned that I am missing the native Cinnamon app (your right hand screen). Did my installation with --no-install-recommends. Another side effect. Something to look into.
Thanks for following up ...
Edith: No, got the Cinnamon Date and Time app in my settings. What happens here: I can switch to network time without a complaint from the system (root password is required) and close the app. When I call it up again its back to manual.
#628 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Daedalus and ntp, gnome system tools not working » 2023-01-02 20:28:11
Yes I didn't ... to little trouble recently ...
Don't worry, troubleshooting is adventure ...
Well, in summary, the required packages are present, the service is working as required. Still the same, when I try the date and time tool from the gnome-system-tools trying to go away from manual mode, the program is complaining about ntp not being present.
#629 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Daedalus and ntp, gnome system tools not working » 2023-01-02 20:22:32
Puh, survived the update. sysv-rc-conf is removed, openrc still active.
#630 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Daedalus and ntp, gnome system tools not working » 2023-01-02 20:19:08
Thanks, I did not think about to use apt list to check if the program is coming directly under the same name. Just looked into the rcx.d directories.
And you can be sure I read the Beowulf release notes to find out about su -. I usually never use sudo, all my machines have a separate root account, and I have configured them with all tricks I have learned. I am an early adopter ...
Well, I haven't had any trouble yet with services not working, so I am blank in that aspect of the system. rc-status tells me the ntpsec service is running under the default level. And sysv-rc-conf lists an x for 2,3,4 and 5.
Well, just saw that the installation of sysv-rc-conf removed openrc. Well, reinstalled it and am being told to reboot immediately....

Auflistung… Fertig
ntpsec/testing,now 1.2.1+dfsg1-8 amd64 [Installiert,automatisch]In /etc/rc2.d is a file called S03ntpsec, I guess that means ntp should be enabled.
Haven't got sysv-rc-conf, command not found. I am using openrc on all my Beowulf/Chimaera/Daedalus installations.

Running Daedalus with Cinnamon as DE, tried to configure ntp as before in ASCII, Beowulf and Chimaera and failed.
ntp and ntpdate are installed, but there is not /etc/ntp.conf as before. I found the ntp.conf with slightly changed contents now in /etc/ntpsec and entered my settings.
Time and Date from the gnome system tools package does no more permit to change to internet time, it complains about a missing ntp installation. I guess the package has not been adapted to the modified ntp package yet. Can somebody please confirm?
Happy new year, rolfie

Am I better off re-installing as Chimeara? Daedalus seems not quite ready yet for less mainstream kit.
Why? I have got my main desktop running Daedalus for more than a month now without major problems, my laptop is on Daedalus for 3 months now, and I am just installing Daedalus on an older AM3+ PC for test purposes.

#636 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] HP envy 360 with ryzen and radeon multiple issues Q » 2022-12-31 15:57:43
Well, you are getting confused by mixing up two naming schemes.
1.) There is the Debian way to name their kernel/header packages: 6.0.0.6-amd64 tells you its the 6th version of the 6.0.0 kernel. This is a very Debian specific way to name the deb package.
2.) Linked to that is the official naming scheme by Linus: 6.0.12-1 corresponds to the 6.0.0.6 Debian package.
To avoid too much confusion, you might consider using dummy packages for kernel and header that make sure always the correct version is updated: linux-image-amd64 and linux-headers-amd64.
You might consider installing build-essentials or dkms, these packages also pull in the headers.
#637 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] HP envy 360 with ryzen and radeon multiple issues Q » 2022-12-31 15:16:21
Have a look at https://www.devuan.org/os/packages. For Daedalus the sources.list must contain the main repo line only.
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main contrib non-freeThat will do the job.
#638 Re: Installation » Localisation on Daedalus previews broken » 2022-12-30 20:52:15
Still the same on the preview dated 2022-12-26.
The May version can be installed fine without mirror (the keyring update via network requires an user input thats not possible), and after first boot apt update does its job ok.
#639 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Five-or-more pinning to older version » 2022-12-16 18:49:43
Well, don't fully understand the reasoning. The filename did not include the epoch, and I used that info for the pref file. The epoch is present in Synpatic and when you look closely to the printout of apt policy, but I never thought it would be important, based on the examples I saw.
So far so bad, its solved. Again what learned ....
#640 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Five-or-more pinning to older version » 2022-12-16 18:37:41
Why is this "1:" you call it epoch required? Well it works this way.

Daedalus with Cinnamon DE.
The counting of results of the game five-or-more is broken since Chimaera, and hasn't been fixed in Daedalus. I removed the package from the installation, downloaded the older version five-or-more_3.30.0-2_amd64.deb from Beowulf and installed it with dpkg -i. I think I had to install an additional dependency. The older program is working.
To keep the package, I added a file five-or-more to /etc/apt/preferences.d with the contents:
Package: five-or-more
Pin: version 3.30.0*
Pin-Priority: 1001When I run an apt update this setting is ignored, I still get the version 3.32.3 listed as installation candidate.
What is wrong in my setup? Why is the preference ignored? Shouldn't I see the setting immediately in apt-cache policy?

#643 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] GUI mixer in Daedalus » 2022-12-16 16:38:58
volumeicon-alsa does the job, thank you for your recommendation. I was searching for something from Cinnamon w/o success.
After installation, you have to reboot to make the integration work correctly. Now I see the same thing with ALSA/Pipewire I saw in my Chimaera installation with pulse.
Additional remark: never got happy with ALSA on its own on my PCs or laptop. Too many devices, no easy to use configuration tool, cryptic naming .... Since ASCII I did use Pulse with a grrrrr ..... but it worked had I got Audio to work easily. Now I have tried Pipewire on my laptop, and it also seems to make it easy to configure Audio. The real challenge will be my wifes PC since she has a 5.1 system, a camera and a headset for video conferencing.

Tried alsamixer-gui and amixer-gtk, none of them show up in the panel and is working. Pure ALSA did not really work, had no working audio.
Just added pipewire, and got the audio working. Still got no mixer. What do you recommend to install/use?

When you look on your screenshot in post #25 at SCSI1 #1, there is an EPS = efi. You have a relatively recent HW, so an efi installtion is advisable.
But: I am out with any RAID stuff. I have tried U320 SCSI RAIDs on Windows XP and 7, and damned them as unreliable, no matter if RAID0 for speed or RAID1 for some sort of backup. All my Linux boxes are running either from a single HD on very old stuff, on newer units SSD or NVME. RAID is no backup. It just complicates things (for me at least).
To delete something that has been set: select the partition by moving the cursor to it, them you can set properties or even delete that partition.
#650 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] How to get hardware info » 2022-12-12 19:02:53
Now I can't find any menu that will allow me to make granular partition changes.
On https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation … all-devuan is a nice description of a default installation with screenshots.
In Step 10 you have to choose Manual to get full access to the disks/devices/partitions the installer sees. You may also use a gparted live cd to adjust the disk setup, but you will have to go through the assignment via Step 10 anyhow.
Note: from what I have seen you are running an efi installation. Add a ESP as first device with 128MB/FAT32.
