Ok yeah there is no option in the graphical installer to set the new user as a sudoer
Better get reading up on sudo then. Its not a hard concept.
#53 Re: Installation » Help with bootup info and stuff » 2019-06-16 15:39:07
Im pretty sure the devuan installer (same as debian installer) gives you the opportunity to add your user to the sudo group, im not sure how it goes but i think its some sort of prompt saying add user to sudo or something in the installer. Maybe you are confused on that step?
#55 Re: Installation » Help with bootup info and stuff » 2019-06-16 15:21:23
Ok yeah hold up I'm installing devuan right now again on the other half of my partition
What I mean, if I remember right it says "user is not in the sudiloers" and then if I run that command it says permission denied. And I _have_ to log in as root to do so by t bare with me here. Almost installed brb
You need to put your user in the sudoers then.
generally adding user to the wheel group would suffice, but i dont think devuan has a wheel group setup. You could just add it to admin group maybe?

Looks like you are not using sudo properly. Dpkg and apt need root rights, sounds like you have a $PATH problem if you want the user to accept the settings. I wouldnt know i dont run wine or any microsoft crap on my machines.
Shouldnt you use like below?
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wine32I dont tinker around with devuan anymore so i could be incorrect but im sure you cant run dpkg and apt together especially like you have done, I have one machine that runs a media center tv and it has been a set and forget setup. Ive never used dpkg alongside apt so im sure those two run together will conflict.

So two maintainers have left then?
Debian have over 250 developers so I'm sure they'll manage
tmartins wrote:People are saying that if you want a "stable" systemd-based system, you have to choose CentOS or Arch.
Which people?
Arch isn't stable at all, it changes all the time. It is surprisingly reliable though, as long as you install the LTS kernel — the non-LTS kernel breaks a lot (and certainly more often than systemd).

#60 Re: Devuan » UsrMerge on Devuan? » 2019-05-18 16:52:29
So far from that link i posted i get the impression debian want more compatibility with other unixes/linuxes in behavior, so far only one is listed, solaris. I suppose this purely from a dev point of view in regards to unix to unix compatibility?
Why would debian need to be compatible with other unix and linux? It is a universal operation system but it is its own operating system that operates independently from others. Unless we are headed for something like microsoft windows for linux, i dont see the point in this.

#62 Re: Installation » [solved]Paused at installing grub? » 2019-05-18 16:18:20
Use the installer iso's located here https://mirror.leaseweb.com/devuan/devu … aller-iso/
Have a read of this https://mirror.leaseweb.com/devuan/devu … README.txt
Im assuming you have a 64bit computer, if so choose the first iso amd64_cd_1.iso
The default desktop is XFCE4. Just go with that, it is a good lean desktop that will be easy on memory.
#63 Re: Installation » eeepc-acpi-scripts in ASCII » 2019-05-18 16:04:22
You would have to upgrade to unstable/ceres for that i think, or do some sort of apt repository pinning magic.
I would have a try at installing from upstream source first maybe?
#64 Re: Installation » [solved]Paused at installing grub? » 2019-05-18 15:43:27
What version of devuan are you installing, what did you download and put to usb stick or dvd/cd ?
Are you dual/multi booting?
I am a bit confused as fsmithread seems to think you are using refracta installer but i dont think pure devuan uses refracta installer?
#65 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » (EE) in Xorg.0.log -> systemd-logind failure » 2019-05-17 17:20:28
I think the desktop dependency is not handled all that well with devuan ,most likely a byproduct of systemd scope creep. I remember a few months ago i tried installing a minimal Lxqt desktop but devuan wanted to bring in a massive meta load of deps to complete the task.

New side-channel attacks are getting lots of attention, but other more serious threats should top your list of threats.
If you judged the severity of a security vulnerability by its number of mentions in the press and social media — a silly thing to do, by the way — side-channel exploits would seem to be the end of the computing world. But does the reality of the situation really match the hype?
Many side-channel attacks actually require both technical sophistication and patience. Speculative execution side-channel attacks like Spectre and Meltdown require quite a lot of each of those qualities. Other types of side-channel attacks, such as the recent page cache vulnerability, require less sophistication on the part of the attacker but are more easily thwarted via software updates.
The bottom line is that there are many other cyber threats that your organization most likely will face today than a side-channel attack, security experts say. The more severe threat candidates encompass common attacks and vulnerabilities, as well as user behavior - most of which have been responsible for real-world business losses. The new generation of side-channel vulnerabilities are mostly still - as far as we know - the stuff of research, not crime.
That doesn't mean you should ignore side-channel threats. Mounir Hahad, head of Juniper Threat Labs, noted that the "latest side-channel attack is severe, in my opinion."
With that caution, here is a rundown of threats that are more imminent than those splashy side-channel attacks.
(Where do you place Spectre, Meltdown, and their malicious kin in your hierarchy of threats? Which threat keeps you up at night? We'd love to know your thoughts — the comment section is open).

I think xserver-xorg pulls in all the video, inputs as a metapackage etc. Could be wrong though, but if you are installing xorg packages with flag --no-install-recommends that might be a hindrance.
Go xserver-xorg-video-all just to be sure.
Been awhile since i did a minimal install but last time i did im sure i needed xinit and xterm installed for startx, whether they have been added to a metapackage im not sure atm.

what is libnssWTF.so ?
I dont touch development branches of anything, especially browsers, im not a developer. Im a user.
#69 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Mozilla Firefox unacceptable tactics - PLEASE ADVISE » 2019-05-05 15:52:08
To add, there is no "official fix yet". Firefox is not advocating such temporary fixes outlined in this thread. When you mark a setting such as studies and diagnostics to disable they should stay disabled and not affect your addons, reports ive heard is that firefox has been able to reverse these settings that the user has made manually.
#70 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Mozilla Firefox unacceptable tactics - PLEASE ADVISE » 2019-05-05 15:33:08
I would stop using the browser until they fix that issue, looks like it is intentional. Lots of revenue lost to adblockers and i bet they are feeling the heat from corporate so and so's.
