If non-free isn't pulled e.g. because of a typo or the repo being off you should get an error. apt update tells me:

There just was a sync problem with the i386 main repo.

Check your sources.list thoroughly and show us what you are getting on apt update ...

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.
You have run into one or the other misunderstanding or slight mistake, but I see nothing that cannot be sorted. Attack it one by one ...

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.

#704 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-free

That will do the job.

#705 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.

#706 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 ....

#707 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.

I scanned through the man apt_preferences, the Ubuntu wiki article, and other in the internet before posting here, didn't see that in the examples given ....

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: 1001

When 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?

#710 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.

Yes it does, thank you for the reminder. I thought I had added the runtime during the installation, looks like I didn't. The missing file is added to /lib/udev now.

On my laptop, I initially installed Daedalus/openRC/Cinnamon DE with --no-install-recommends, no pulse. No mixer installed by default and displayed in the panel.

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?

Thanks, rolfie

#714 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » amixer-gtk » 2022-12-16 15:00:01

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.

#717 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.

#719 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] How to get hardware info » 2022-12-10 21:26:49

Some thoughts from my end:

inxi, hwinfo and lshw are not part of a default installation, you need to install them if you want to have them available.

Pinging the router errors "Network is unreachable"

eth0 = eth"zero" or did you use etho = eth"ooohhh"? Typo or mistake?

Just came across some article that was mentioning strange router setups that only talk to a single PC with a defined MAC address, all others are ignored. What are the leds on the NIC doing after power on? What type and brand is your router? How is it setup?

Interesting: you are running a 686 kernel on a computer that should support amd64. What is the reason for that choice?

Don't think that is causing the issue, but it may mean that its advisable to re-install the PC with an amd64 iso for optimum performance.

It also would make sense to show us the dmesg or syslog outputs related to the network adapter.

I was about to ask you to run an apt update/upgrade as next action and try to load a backports kernel. Won't work that easily without network.

#722 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Daedalus and access to efivars » 2022-11-30 21:54:10

With efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars efivarfs ro 0 0 in the fstab I am also getting a boot error, copy from the bootlog:

Wed Nov 30 22:39:45 2022: Mounting local filesystems...mount: /sys/firmware/efi/efivars: efivarfs already mounted or mount point busy.
Wed Nov 30 22:39:46 2022:        dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

No trace of this message in syslog and dmesg. messages just shows information from Nov 23rd the day I installed Daedalus on this machine. Same behaviour as on my laptop.

# grep efivars /etc/fstab /proc/self/mounts
/etc/fstab:#none	/sys/firmware/efi/efivars  efivarfs  ro		0	0
/etc/fstab:efivarfs	/sys/firmware/efi/efivars  efivarfs  ro		0	0

# mount -t efivarfs -o remount,rw none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
# grep efivars /proc/self/mounts
none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars efivarfs rw,relatime 0 0

Looks like despite the error the remount to ro worked, and also switching back to rw.

Maybe there is a mismatch between messages and what is happening under the hood. My machines are not haunted, I guess we are coming closer to the root cause.

On my X570/Ryzen9/6700XT system I have added none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars efivarfs ro 0 0 to the fstab, no errors during boot.

# grep efivars /etc/fstab /proc/self/mounts
/etc/fstab:none	/sys/firmware/efi/efivars  efivarfs  ro		0	0
/proc/self/mounts:none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars efivarfs ro,relatime 0 0

/etc/fstab:none	/sys/firmware/efi/efivars  efivarfs  ro		0	0
/proc/self/mounts:none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars efivarfs rw,relatime 0 0

I'll change the fstab entry the one I used for Chimaera using efivarfs as label. Will post the results after reboot.

#724 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Daedalus and access to efivars » 2022-11-30 21:02:29

I have also applied the solution to my workstation now. Both fresh installs from netboot, stock kernel, openrc as init.

#725 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Daedalus and access to efivars » 2022-11-30 07:40:08

@Ralph: thank you, your explanation makes sense, tried it and it works. The error during boot is gone.

Summary:
* Let mountkernfs.sh attach the efivars.
* To change the efivarfs to ro, specify in the fstab none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars efivarfs ro 0 0
* If you need to modify anything in the efi settings, remount rw with mount -t efivarfs -o remount,rw none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

@aluma: you pointed in the right direction.

Thank you all for your contributions.
