How flexible are the Refracta tools? If I were to successfully install them (and their dependencies) on a non-Debian distro, like Alpine Linux, is there a reasonable chance that they would work?

Try using macchanger or randmac.

I would not use Slimjet. I recommend using Chromium instead.

If you do use Chromium, be sure to also install its sandbox:

# apt install chromium chromium-sandbox

However, using complete physical separation is a better approach. Your message stimulated me into thinking about this some more, and I am now considering buying an inexpensive tablet PC to use for Facebook. Either that, or an inexpensive Android smartphone with a fairly large screen. But probably not, though, since I hate browsing the web on a phone.

And there's another good reason for choosing an Android tablet. Although Android is based on Linux, Google has done a lot of work on hardening the OS. However, if you decide to go this route, do not install the Facebook app. If it comes preinstalled, uninstall it or, if that's not possible, disable it. At least one privacy expert has stated that the FB app is essentially spyware.

Glenn,

I recommend downloading the most recent BIOS update for your computer and saving it in a safe place (preferably multiple places). Does your computer use UEFI or the old-style BIOS?

Then become very familiar with how to use flashrom.

Website: https://www.flashrom.org/
Package: flashrom

Very important: Always make a backup copy of your current BIOS before using flashrom to flash it with a new (or clean) version. Do it even if you suspect that your BIOS has been corrupted or maliciously modified.

The first time I used flashrom to update my computer's BIOS to the last available version, I lost internet after rebooting. After a considerable amount of research, I learned that the chip that holds the BIOS, also holds something called the SMBIOS. On my computer's motherboard, the SMBIOS contains the MAC address for the network card, the motherboard serial number, and some other information. Flashrom had overwritten the SMBIOS with zeroes, so that info was gone. That's why networking was no longer working. Fortunately, I had the sense to make a backup of the BIOS before I flashed it, so I just restored that and I was back in business.

For years I felt frustrated that there seemed to be no easy way to restore my computer's BIOS to a pristine state. Recently, I resumed my research on this problem and discovered that there are DOS utilities that allow one to edit the SMBIOS. I downloaded one of them but haven't tested it yet. If it works, I'll be able to insert the missing SMBIOS data after using flashrom to flash the chip holding the BIOS with the last available update.

I refuse to deal with the useless bloat that is Network-Manager, so I will stick with Devuan Beowulf and WiCD.

There is a better solution:

# apt install connman-gtk connman-ui

And, optionally, connman-vpn.

Then, for better Devuan compatibility, make this configuration change:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=48040#p48040

Now remove all wicd-related packages.

This may be enough:

# apt remove wicd-gtk

Reboot.

Optional:

Before doing all of the above, run this command:

# aptitude -d install wicd-gtk

That will ensure that wicd-gtk and its dependencies are present in the package cache. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong and you lose internet connectivity, this will allow you to easily reinstall wicd-gtk.

For anyone who is running connman and having this problem, there is a simple fix.

Edit this file: /etc/init.d/connman

Change this:

DAEMON=/usr/sbin/connmand
DESC="Connection Manager"

To this:

DAEMON=/usr/sbin/connmand
DAEMON_OPTS='--nodnsproxy'
DESC="Connection Manager"

Reboot.

After my post last night, I realized that my Chimaera-based Refracta system uses connman, whereas my Daedalus-based Refracta system uses Network Manager. As an experiment, I installed network-manager-gnome and removed connman, connman-gtk, connman-ui, and connman-vpn. Now apt update works. However, I don't recommend using this solution on Chimaera because Network Manager isn't quite working right (which is probably why the system came with connman instead).

THE SOLUTION IN THIS POST IS DEPRECATED. Please go to https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=48040#p48040 for current working solution.

This is my original solution to this problem:

# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1        refracta                localhost
::1              ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0          ip6-localnet
fe00::0          ip6-mcastprefix
fe02::1          ip6-allnodes
fe02::1          ip6-allrouters

# U.S. Devuan mirror -  mirrors.hyperreal.coffee
172.234.26.53	deb.devuan.org

# Alternate U.S. Devuan mirror -  dev.beard.ly
#198.58.118.8	deb.devuan.org

As you can see, I added two mirrors to my hosts file. I could have just used one, but I wanted to have a backup mirror listed as well to make it easy to switch in the event that my primary mirror is ever offline for some reason. I obtained the IP addresses of those mirrors using nslookup. It's not a "perfect" solution, but it works.

The Devuan mirror list can be found here:

I have Daedalus-based Refracta on an old laptop that I use infrequently. I ran apt update on it this morning and there were no problems. I wondered if maybe the problem had been fixed. I just tried doing the same on my Chimaera-based Refracta system, and it failed the same way as before.

Since yesterday, apt has been failing for me on a Chimaera-based Refracta system. It appears to be due to some kind of network issue. I assumed that it is (most likely) being caused by my ISP, but I may be wrong. Anyway, I was wondering if maybe the OP is having the same problem. However, without seeing the error messages I can only guess as to what the problem might be.

If apt fails, there should be error messages.

None of these packages depend on systemd, none of these packages are forked by Devuan, security for them is not handled by the Devuan team.

That is not completely true. The package xserver-xorg-core does not come directly from Debian; it is a Devuan package. Is this true for any other Xorg-related packages? I don't know because I haven't had time to check.

By the way, someone pointed out this fact out a little over a month ago on this forum.

I'm using Firefox ESR from the repository on Excalibur with only ALSA installed, no PulseAudio or PipeWire. I didn't need to edit any configuration files. Is this a new feature?

No, I don't think so. Sound has always worked for me when using the Firefox ESR that comes from Debian. I've never had to do anything to get sound working. The only exception to that was when I was using the SeaMonkey web browser, which is not available in Debian/Devuan. For SeaMonkey, I was able to get sound working using apulse.

I suspect that the people having problems with sound not working are not using the Firefox ESR that is packaged by Debian. They are probably installing Firefox from a different source, and probably using a version other than Firefox ESR.

I should add that I have been using Refracta, and I am not sure how much that varies from a default Devuan installation. Although pulseaudio is not installed, some related packages are installed:

libpulse-mainloop-glib0
libpulse0

$ aptitude why libpulse-mainloop-glib0
i   blueman Depends libpulse-mainloop-glib0

$ aptitude why libpulse0
i   chromium Depends libpulse0 (>= 0.99.1)

apulse is also installed. However, it does not appear that Firefox is using apulse on this system. It may have been installed for some other reason.

Hi Nietz,

The website repo.jing.rocks is being blocked for "Phishing & Deception". That is the only reason it is being blocked. I have not configured the manual blocking of any websites via the router. If I wanted to block a website, I would use another means, like dnsmasq.

If I try to visit repo.jing.rocks using Firefox, I am presented with this message:

Whoopsie
Your device is not allowed to access this site.

We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but this site has been blocked. If you believe that this site was categorized incorrectly, you can report it as inaccurate.

When I last tried to access that URL (right after the aptitude upgrade failure), the block message was different, and indicated that the site was not safe to visit.

I also tried to visit jing.rocks and status.jing.rocks. Those websites are not being blocked.

I got my hands on a laptop, the Win8 license was stitched into the BIOS. Two disks, 256GB SSD and 500GB HDD. I prepared the SSD, separate sections of UEFI, Windows and Linux.

I recently did almost the same thing. Windows 8 was on the HDD, but it hadn't been updated in years, and my attempts to update it failed. It also looked awful.

I copied a Windows 10 22H2 ISO file to the HDD, extracted the ISO to a directory, and ran the installer (setup.exe, I believe) to upgrade to Windows 10. No license key was required. Then I basically wiped the drive, created a 1 GB EFI partition using Linux, and then did a clean install of Windows 10. Rather than create a new EFI partition, I may have just expanded the existing one using gparted. I'm not 100% certain, but that's probably what I did.

During the clean installation of Windows 10, I also ran a wonderful script called Windows 10/11 Decrapifier. On this laptop, which is about ten years old, it made a very noticeable difference. I use the script's default configuration except for one small change -- I enabled the search bar. Since Windows 10/11 Decrapifier is a PowerShell script, and not a typical Windows program, reading this how-to is a must: How to clean up a single Windows 10 machine/image using Decrapifier.

EDIT:

I had a problem when installing Refracta. The installation appeared to complete without a hitch, but GRUB apparently wasn't fully installed because when I rebooted, the laptop went straight into Windows. I was quite puzzled by that. Eventually, I realized that the most likely culprit was Fast Startup on Windows. I thought that I had temporarily disabled Fast Startup, but it appears that the method I used is outdated and no longer works.

Okay, go ahead and upgrade your OS with this command:

sudo apt full-upgrade

Then, for good measure, reboot.

if you haven't done so already, reboot to restore internet access.

Then execute this command and post the output:

sudo apt update && apt full-upgrade -s

now this is the proposed solution by aptitude

     Remove the following packages:                                             
1)     libpolkit-backend-1-0 [0.105-25+devuan9 (now)]                           
2)     libpolkit-backend-consolekit-1-0 [0.105-25+devuan9 (now)]                

     Upgrade the following packages:                                            
3)     gir1.2-polkit-1.0 [0.105-25+devuan9 (now) -> 0.105-31+devuan2 (oldstable)
4)     libpolkit-agent-1-0 [0.105-25+devuan9 (now) -> 0.105-31+devuan2 (oldstabl
5)     policykit-1 [0.105-25+devuan9 (now) -> 0.105-31+devuan2 (oldstable)]

I believe that that's the correct solution. On my Chimaera-based Refracta system, these packages don't even exist:

1)     libpolkit-backend-1-0
2)     libpolkit-backend-consolekit-1-0

In other words, not only are they not installed, they cannot be installed. So those packages are most likely leftovers, in which case they should be removed.

You need network-manager-gnome and not just network-manager.

Try to install it using aptitude:

sudo aptitude install network-manager-gnome

If there is a problem installing it, aptitude will offer possible solutions.
