Ok wtf i had purge the follow packages :

 su -c "apt-get purge alsa-firmware-loaders alsa-oss alsa-tools alsa-utils apulse apulse-dbgsym gstreamer1.0-alsa libalsaplayer0 libclalsadrv2 libpulse-java libpulse-jni libpulsedsp libsox-fmt-alsa libsox-fmt-base libsox-fmt-mp3 libsox-fmt-pulse python-alsaaudio python-pyalsa sox tuxguitar-alsa volumeicon-alsa libroar2 mpd gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio libcanberra-pulse pavucontrol-qt phonon-backend-gstreamer pulseaudio pulseaudio-equalizer pulseaudio-esound-compat pulseaudio-module-bluetooth pulseaudio-module-gconf pulseaudio-module-jack pulseaudio-utils xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin speech-dispatcher speech-dispatcher-audio-plugins speech-dispatcher-espeak speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng pulseaudio-module-zeroconf paprefs pulseaudio-module-raop" root 

i remove all custom files and anothers temporal files with the follow commands :

 su -c "rm -rf /tmp/.esd-1000 ; rm -r /home/inukaze/.pulse* ; rm -rf /home/inukaze/.config/pulse sudo rm -rf /home/inukaze/.asoundrc" root 

i restart and right now, slim start before Xorg

After i login again to my desktop environtment i installed the follow packages

 su -c "apt-get install -y alsa-firmware-loaders alsa-oss alsa-tools alsa-utils libalsaplayer-dev libalsaplayer0 (0.99.81-2)
libclalsadrv-dev libclalsadrv2 python-alsaaudio python-pyalsa volumeicon-alsa" root 

i had started the "volume icon" i fill up the volume meter to 100% and i had working sound.

Well, the unique thing i must solve right now its the lines with bad format i ask before

Hi there, from 3 days ago i start to upgrade my distro version from Jessie to ASCII (Equivalent to Stretch).

I had the follow problems.
1 - Xorg start but slim does not (this is from jessie)
2 - i got new errors during boot like

[   12.537779] udevd[748]: starting version 3.2.2

How i must write for be compatible?

The another thing is trying to solve the audio output, right now i had just "output : dummy"
because the error "ALSA error: snd_pcm_open failed: Dispositivo o recurso ocupado."

i try the follow :

cp /etc/pulse/default.pa  ~/.config/pulse/default.pa

and comment the lines

### Load several protocols
#.ifexists module-esound-protocol-unix.so
#load-module module-esound-protocol-unix
#.endif

well i think is better delete this last file.

But i really need to repair the slim don't start automatically before Xorg.

This morning i purge some packages of sysvinit installed on my distro, anothers i dont use like upstart, plymouth, mdadm, cryptset or something similar.

Well i copy /etc/init.d/mpd to /etc/init.d/noip2 and i start the modifications. but one part i can't understand fine :

ok the main modification was things like :

MPDCONF=/etc/mpd.conf by NOIP2CONF=/usr/etc/no-ip2.conf
DAEMON=/usr/bin/noip2

and well the unique thing i don't understand what do is the line :
PIDFILE=$(sed -n 's/^[[:space:]]*pid_file[[:space:]]*"\?\([^"]*\)\"\?/\1/p' $MPDCONF)

because with mpd :

echo $PIDFILE
/run/mpd/pid

if i try with my modification
PIDFILE=$(sed -n 's/^[[:space:]]*pid_file[[:space:]]*"\?\([^"]*\)\"\?/\1/p' $NOIP2CONF)

echo $PIDFILE
                  

nothing happened.

Well i try to make accord to the system. but i change at the final i just let the file with the follow content :

during boot the another process show

i try to make it equal with my noip2 script, but i can't understand the PIDFILE and what do the sed in that variable.

Well let me restart to test the changes. because with manual start using rc-service, now run big_smile
The Process don't run automatically at boot. i don't understand why.
but right now, i not got errors with noip2 during boot process.

That are a command to generate the script from cli. its not directly the script. the first line inside the script is :

#!/sbin/openrc-run

if you read the lines, you see at the end, the command :

sudo tee /etc/init.d/noip2 ; sudo chmod a+rx /etc/init.d/noip2

For generate the file and make executable for all users.

#57 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » How i must write "openrc-run" script for launch boot service? » 2018-08-31 01:57:22

The problem is the noip2 don't start at boot anymore, after the last upgrade, when the runscript dont exist anymore in /sbin/runinit, instead follow gentoo wiki, i should use openrc-run for the shebang in the first line.

Hi there. some days ago, i post this thread -> https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2306
and well yesterday i upgrade the software on my Devuan Jessie.

Right now, the Service don't start at boot. the first was the "/sbin/runscript" don't exist anymore
the second is i modify the first line on the script, there are the command to generate the script :

echo '#!/sbin/openrc-run

description="Start/Stop the no-ip daemon"

depend()
{
        after *
        keyword notimeout
}

start()
{
        ebegin "Starting NoIP"

        /usr/bin/noip2

        eend $? "Failed to start NoIP"
}

stop()
{
        ebegin "Stopping NoIP"

        killall -TERM /usr/bin/noip2

        eend $? $"Failed to stop NoIP"
}' | sudo tee /etc/init.d/noip2 ; sudo chmod a+rx /etc/init.d/noip2

and right now in the /var/log/boot :

Thu Aug 30 18:31:38 2018:  ^[[1m^[[31m*^[[m noip2: not enough arguments^[[K
Thu Aug 30 18:31:38 2018:  ^[[1m^[[31m*^[[m ERROR: noip2 failed to start^[[K

when i reach my desktop environment and i try to run it directly from cli :

sudo service noip2 start
 * WARNING: noip2 has already been started

ps -A | grep noip

the "noip2" is not running. with the old version of runscript works perfectly. but right now i don't have idea how to make it work.

HI there, i am trying the "noip2" startup automatically with system boot. but i dont know why the follow process don't work with Devuan Jessie 1.0 :

sudo touch /etc/init.d/noip2
sudo chmod a+o+x /etc/init.d/noip2
echo '#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/noip2.sh

# Supplied by no-ip.com
# Modified for Debian GNU/Linux by Florian Moesch

. /lib/lsb/init-functions # modify for your init-functions

PROG=/usr/local/bin/noip2
NAME=noip2

test -x $PROG || exit 0

case "$1" in
        start)
        echo -n "Starting dynamic address update: "
        $PROG
        echo "$NAME."
        ;;
        stop)
        echo -n "Shutting down dynamic address update:"
        killall $NAME
        echo "$NAME."
;;

restart)
        echo -n "Restarting dynamic address update: "
        killall $NAME
        $PROG
        echo "$NAME."
;;

status)
        status_of_proc $PROG $NAME && exit 0 || exit $?
        ;;
        *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {status|start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
        esac
exit 0
' | sudo tee /etc/init.d/noip2
sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/noip2 ; \
sudo rc-update add noip2 default ; \
sudo rc-service noip2 start

if i restart, and use :

ps -A | noip

Is not running for start i must use :

sudo rc-service noip2 start

What is wrong with the script?

Hi there, every time i need manual download of a specific package of Devuan. the site don't find anything.
You had planned to fix it ?

Too many times i need enter directly to :

http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/di … 4/Packages
http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/di … 4/Packages
http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/di … 4/Packages

http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/di … 6/Packages
http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/di … 6/Packages
http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/di … 6/Packages

To try get the full url where synaptic download files. sometimes i fail, because in some folders don't have any file, or if have files much are empty. and that make some hard find a single package i need.

Try PCLinuxOS.  It has it's root in Mandriva.  No systemd.

i had used before, but i just use like for 6 months, and after i continue searching a distribution better adapt for my necessities, after of that, i had installed Gentoo, and after Gentoo i use "Linux From Scratch", and after "GoboLinux" i love GoboLinux, allow me a better control of versions of each library and application.

Well the lastest version of PCLinuxOS no included by default Xfce. just KDE or Mate, the FullMonty Desktop are discontinued. but is a Great Distribution

Of course we do.  But if you want USB support you'll have to get it from Oracle.  Just add their repos to sources.list.

i do not need get it from Oracle, with the packages available on Devuan Jessie repositories. works for me.
But i got some strange issue, the first time i try to create a new machine i got this message

Well reading the logs and with various trys, the message don't changing but i finaled solved with the follow commands :

Yes that is better, and the thread answer should be better if another members follow the main idea put on the title of the post. because i never mention change the bootloader installed by default devuan. i like grub because for me evers works and syslinux too. i just specify the software i consider be better came by default on the installer iso image for final users when the installation is finished. and nobody tell if prefer the devuan developers change the default boot loader for some specific reason.

my reasons for change the default packages, is for make more comfortable and a experience more near to "out-the-box" for the final users, and ready the set most common for final users and intermediate users, because if an intermediate use installing devuan, can decide if install without graphical system. for use for example like in a server, an finished a fresh installation had very useful software like : gpm, mc, links2, joe, nano (this already came), tools for use git and manual compilations.

if a final user the most common behaviour is by default install a graphical system and for example this iso, came with xfce. but don't included synaptic, or a method to connect via wifi (for that on my main pc, i made a virtual machine and do the installation just for download and install the package necessaries for activate the network-manager-gnome applet on xfce and copy to canaimita to get access to internet from that netbook / mini-laptop ) and final user can need a text editor like mooedit / medit, a graphical web browser to begin searchings on internet about how do things on their new operating system devuan.

User error / "Finger trouble" / PEBCAK / whatever...  You said you're not using UEFI, therefore I can't see why LILO doesn't work, considering that you must be using a DOS MBR...

exactly i don't use EFI technology, because i don't have access to buy a modern pc. and the reason of that fault i don't know why. but thanks to that limitations i had learn much more searching the alternatives works better for me needs.

Well you don't prefer it - systemd/udev pretty much determines you use it.  Though in general terms unless you're swapping out disk drives regularly, I can't see why your device nodes are being swapped around so much.

You can also use UUIDs with LILO by the way (lilo.conf(5)).  This is specified in the root= stanza.  Of course it means you doing a little bit more work, reading some man pages and learning new stuff, instead of some bloated "automagic" code doing it all for you.

since 1998 i am learning about this operating system and each piece of software used in each distribution.

i don't like systemd, systemd with my more older hardware, had damage several to bios. on my main pc, some part of hardware, is too much close to be damage because when my pc uses systemd. the temperature is very bad informed, and the overheat is too much, the last time i try use systemd, s2 pins of one of motherboard connector was burned and parts of the wires melted a bit that power supply i replace immediately because don't work anymore. and things similar happends to my with a very old hardware when i try systemd distributions.

with posix system and distributions compatibles with my pcs with init systems like : BSD , runit, openrc, sysvinit, upstart, launchd, SMF, finit, Epoch. i don't had problems like i describe above.

well tomorrow i try LILO with UUID with slackware, for see if works fine. this evening i had try again "generic" and "huge" kernels adding an additional menuentry instead of use

root=/dev/sda3

, i try with

root=UUID=1c07b419-4a08-4326-b4c4-fd9ac9cce46e"

. and i receive again the

"Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0)"

when i delete the

UUID=1c07b419-4a08-4326-b4c4-fd9ac9cce46e

, the result is the same. for that i think on slackware the UUID is doing nothing.

I agree that it would be helpful to have synaptic installed by default. From there, you can add whatever else you need without having to go to command line.

Yes

fsmithred wrote:

But I will say that your timing is good. Installer isos for ascii are coming soon, and we can look at the package selection for the CD and make some changes (I hope.) I had not looked at the package list for the CD in many months, and I forgot that synaptic is not on the CD at all.

well my list of suggested software is to be more friendly with final users. and when don't want install graphical environment like : Xorg + x11 windows + slim + xfce + etc . . .  and the users just want to make base install. i think its better the distribution came with appropriated software for use without graphical system, with software like : gpm, joe, links2, aptitude, mc, twin (textual window manager)

well i think the twin can be better if some developers can do something "graphical" (is acceded by framebuffer) like "links" when you ran for init level 3 / telinit 3 / runlevel 3 (well Single User, distro depend). and lauch that web-browser with

links -g

its very useful for a system without graphical environment, but twin i don't mention before because i don't consider enough mature yet.

and by this way, i think is a good idea when i want to install devuan in a server. and the sysadmin can add the additional packages needs like : samba, nfs, kerberos, ldap, etc... , with a useful installation can start search with links for example in "graphical" mode, to work more comfortably

One more thing - it would be better if you did not ask the same questions in multiple threads. Now the information is scattered all over the forum.

Nonsense.  Slackware still uses lilo, it's tried and tested software (like sysvinit).

i try LILO first on my main pc, and a few days ago i try with a netbook knows "Canaimita" model "a101a3" here on venezuela, and in none of this machines LILO works. never boots from menu entry for me.

A basic lilo configuration can be nothing more than:

boot=/dev/sda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b

message=/boot/message
lba32
compact
default=linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz
	label=linux
	initrd=/boot/initrd.img
	read-only
	root=/dev/sda1

Compare that to the numerous grub configs.

But LILO (ELILO) is no longer maintained, mainly because too many Linux distributions prefer the complex idiocy of grub...

Where LILO epitomises simplicity and the KISS principles (UNIX philosophy) - grub is one of the best examples of complexity, bloat and feature creep I've ever seen.  It's garbage, yet everyone is using it...

My main pc nevers mantain for example "/dev/sda1" every time i reboot that change to "/dev/sdb1" or "/dev/sdc1" because of that i prefer use UUID.

on the Canaimita, when i install LILO, with generic kernel or huge kernel. when Slackware try to boot just do nothing. with GRUB if i don't use UUID (when i leave device path and partition number like root=/dev/sda3) . the mayor part of time i receive the message

Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0

Except on Slackware64 14.2, on this distribution grub on that point works inverse. just i must edit the line of linux root=/dev/sdX# . for boot the distribution fine. with Devuan + grub with uuid, evers works.

cynwulf wrote:

Sounds like stuff you could just configure yourself, according to your personal preferences/hardware...?

Bear in mind that there are other bootloaders, such as lilo - i.e. a simple bootloader of about 600kB (most of which is in fact bitmaps and man pages) which installs and loads entirely from the DOS mbr, not over 20MB of fancy, self indulgent, complex crap.  So it doesn't seem to make much sense to invest so much in customising one particular bootloader to a particular subset of hardware which might break things for certain users.

Amazingly the BSDs managed to come up with simple EFI bootloaders once there was a need for that, but still Linux distributions are still pushing this same "kitchen sink" solution (sound familiar?).

LILO don't evers works fine with all distribution installation, grub ever works where LILO evers fail.
the size of grub is near 3 MB installed. add just an aditional png of 8 bits (256 colours) non-indexed.

Just occupy just a few more mb, just if the image are in multiple resolutions like 320x240 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x768 , etc. a simple image can be very lightweight. 

i think is better idea is put a image in png (for example 7168x5376 its simple the size can be near 500 KBs) format and use convert to ajust resolution before put in the /boot/images/ folder, with the desired resolution.

using the follow command convert and parameters
"convert -colors <bpp> <path/to/source.png> -resize <Resolution> <path/to/output.png>"

for example

convert -colors 256 /isolinux/splash.png -resize 1024x768 /boot/images/DevuanGrub.png

The Debian Jessie installer, looks like do something like that, for put the grub background. you can try installing debian jessian on a virtual machine. when the installation is finished, and the machine is restarted the grub have a simple background image, and the is much less than 20MB.

i had installed and configure FreeBSD, GhostBSD and PCBSD. but here on venezuela, i don't have test a machine with EFI yet. and that "kitchen sink" solution, is not familiar for me.

Hi there. just a few days i had installed Devuan, in a Venezuelan netbook, knows like "Canaimita" model "mg101a3", and inside virtualbox. i notice some things like default software and another things.

when i try to put the iso on usb stick : with dd the "Live" isos, can't boot (i try with 8 different usb, and same result, checking the boot flag with gparted), with rufus can boot. rufus prefer by default fat32. and with this the symbolic links don't work. analysing the folder structure of installer iso. i think some changes should be made

i think the installer should be use the file directly without symbolic links. specially when the users need to put in a fat32 usb. i don't know if fat32 supports hard links. because when i put on usb stick using Rufus USB, the symbolic links are converted to text files of 0 Bytes, and the result its the installer don't install drivers like : Ethernet, wifi, or another's detected during the process.

on Canamita :
The Lives isos, too much times stuck near the finish of installation, or its installed complete, can't boot from grub entry.
The Installer isos, in Graphical Install, the trackpad don't work, just keyboard. the Text install works fine.

After the installation i think the file /etc/apt/sources.list, came by default something similar to this :

# Devuan - Pre-compile Binary/Executable Repositories :
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie			main contrib non-free	# Applications
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security		main contrib non-free	# Security

#SRC#deb-src http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-updates	main contrib non-free	# Updates / Upgrades

i think the source code repositories commented by default, because too many uses don't uses the apt-build tool for automatic compilation of available software of that repositories

The fresh installation of installer iso came with Xfce by default but don't came with things i consider necessaries :

* network-manager-gnome				->	Network Manager Applet 100% Compatible with GTK2 Desktops like : Xfce4.12 & LXDE
* libgksu2-dev gksu				->	Libs(+development files) & Graphical allow asking the SuperUser password
* synaptic					->	Package Manager
* xfce4-terminal libvte-common libvte9		->	Command Line Interface Emulator / Terminal Emulator
* unrar-free un{zip,ar,ace,shield}		->	De/Compressor(s) CLI Tools
* engrampa					->	Graphical Manager for Compressed files
* Firefox ESR or Midori	or Seamonkey		->	Graphical Web Browser or Graphical Internet Suite {Browser, Mail, Composer, etc}
* links2					->	Textual Web Browser, in Native CLI (ttys) can support access to framebuffer (just launch "links -g") you can see images of webs
* gpm						->	Mouse Pointer (must enabled by default) for Native CLI
* mc						->	File Manager for CLI, supports a lot of functions
* joe						->	Text editor for CLI
* medit						->	Graphical Text editor, support some coloured syntaxes
* viewnior					->	Lightweight Image Viewer, support Animations, and svg format
* SMPlayer and/or VLC				->	Multimedia Player
* qpdfview					->	Lightweight PDF Viewer, support of PostScript and/or DjVU can be installed by plug-ins.
* galculator					->	Calculator
* xfce4-clipman					->	Lightweight clipboard manager
* xfce4-screenshooter				->	Tool for make Screenshots
* sdl1.2(-dev), sdl2(-dev)			->	Simple Directmedia Layer, too many software requires not just games. and all libraries, and devs, not ocalm, perl, or related to another software.
* pasystray					->	PulseAudio Tray Icon. very simple and useful
* mdm or lxdm					->	Mate Display Manager (gdm2 fork) or Lxde Display Manager, with UserList enable by default. can put a Devuan Theme/Background to be the default art. yes instead use slim.
* build-essential, intltool-debian, automake	->	Tools for manual compilation
* xfwm4-themes					->	Themes for the default Xfce Window Manager
* gtk2-engines{-murrine,-nodoka,-qtcurve}	->	Just the engines, remove the dependencies of "-themes" packages. the "oxygen" i don't recomend because ever theme is activated too many times when you try to change, don't works well and must delete the configuration files like ~/.gtkrc-2.0, for work the another themes again.
* libavcodec-extra-56, vorbis{gain,-tools}	->	Codecs & Tools for vorbis formats
* esekeyd, python-mmkeys			->	Support for multimedia keyboards
* libnotify-bin, xfce4-notifyd			->	Notification Daemon for Xfce4

[ Below can be optional, but i like came too ]

* Gimp						->	Image Editor by Pixels
* Inkscape					->	Image Editor by Vectors
* redshift					->	Nocturnal Red Screen Filter [Disabled by default, the user should configure geoclue first]
* xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin			->	Allow put QuickLaunchers inside the xfce4-panel
* mate-system-monitor				->	Tool for check resources/processes usage
* masalla-icons,numix-icons			->	This are not on the repositories
* audacious + audacious-plugins			->	Audio Player

if the network-manager-gnome (nm-applet) is installed by default the file /etc/network/interfaces, should be :

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

for the applet manage the connections. another thing i think during the installation process, when the file /etc/default/grub copy or created/generated. should ask if put maximum detected resolution or select resolution for a list to set the follow variables for example

  GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32
  GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
  GRUB_BACKGROUND="/boot/images/DevuanGrub.png"

and put "Devuan" in the menuentry, like "EXE GNU/Linux" says "Devuan" on Grub menuentries. in this case my monitor supports 1440x900@60Hz, but i don't like that resolution because from 2004 i ever uses Linux distributions and GNU/Linux distributions more for use videogames.

well i don't know how i can make a poll inside a thread, for another, just active a box with the software consider should came by default on the installation too

What's the full name of the iso you used?

devuan_jessie_1.0.0_amd64_CD.iso [Installer ISO]. For this cd image, not came with any tool for manage the networks, not network-applet neither wicd and by that i prefer discuss why software should came by default on the next isos.

i am from Venezuela, download this image i should wait near 3 days for the download, and is less a standard cd of 700 MB. download the dvd iso, are so slowly, the past year i had download the dvd of slackware 14.2 (32 & 64 Bits) i wait during 17 days for each downloads to been finished.

The firmware directory contains symbolic links so that they are easily found and at the same time are in their proper place in pool without having two copies on the media.

For the installation from USB is necessary make the copy, in fat32 usb stick, simbolic links are not supported, because of that the directory just have a text files with 0 Bytes.  and during the installation, for example with the netbook. fails the drivers of Ethernet and wifi.

libmirage, vhba, cdemu, cdemu-daemon, cdemu-client, gcdemu

                     Its my favorite software for mount cd/dvd images, works very fine with things like Final Fantasy 7 + wine, with another tools like "mount" or "aceitoneiso" with wine i can't access directly to cd/dvd label (i supose that is the executable reads for check the cd) and because of that the game never starts, ever ask for the cd when i not use cdemu.
