In the interest and support of non commercial music streaming, somaFM have recently added two new channels to their network:
Synphaera Radio: https://somafm.com/synphaera/
n5MD. Radio:https://somafm.com/n5md/
If you like ambient spacey tunes then this will probably be to your liking. If ambient spacey is not your thing, give it a try anyway.
#52 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Wifi not listing networks when outside of home,Thinkpad X250 » 2021-02-21 02:05:59
that is strange behaviour. Maybe you accidently hit the wifi button on or near the keyboard. I know on my laptop i have a kill switch button that is sensitive and it softblocks the wifi, ive accidently hit it in the past and not known then thought i had software issues when in fact it was PEBKAC.
what does rfkill say?
# rfkill list
Thanks dice ,yes that is what I initially thought was happening, I was somehow disabling the wifi.
Update:
I have managed to get the wifi working while out and about but not sure what I did or what the original cause of the problem was.
1. At home I configured my laptop to connect to my mobile hotspot.
2. Went out again and turned on laptop - opened Wicd and no networks available as before.
3. Enabled my mobile hotspot and refreshed Wicd and there was my mobile hotspot and about 10 other nearby wifi networks showing.
So it seems for some unknown reason I needed a configured network to be in range for Wicd to initiate the detection of other networks.
I disabled the hotspot and rebooted the machine again, then refreshed Wicd with the hotspot disable and it found various networks in range, enabled the hotspot and it found that too.
So I think I will say its working now and solved, with a caveat that it seem to be an anomaly with this laptop, as I have had Devuan and other distributions on various laptops in the past and have never come across this issue before.
Thanks

Hi all, I have a strange one here.
Recently purchased a Thinkpad X250, quickly replaced the SSD and installed Devuan of course.
It works perfectly well except one strange issue with the Wifi.
I went out this morning to do a bit of work on my laptop at a local cafe, enabled my wifi hotspot on my phone and was surprised to see in Wicd that no networks available to connect too not my mobile hotspot or any other network in range. Checking my phone there were plenty of wifi networks in range.
At home the wifi works perfectly well Wicd lists my wifi network plus any others that are in range, it also list and connects to my mobile hotspot as well.
Not sure why out of the house the wifi doesn't seem to work?
My old laptop, a Sony Vaio with Devuan installed never had this issue.
Thanks

Also, you can check the simplest one- the AV-98 client. It's written in Python and runs in a terminal. AV-98 has no "strict dependencies", i.e. it will run and work without anything else beyond the Python standard library.
I haven't tried Amfora but I am quite liking the simplicity of AV-98

@andyprough Not a problem, I'm going to try out Lagrange too, always interested in trying new browsers.

@andyprough. I'm using Kristall nightly and elpher in Emacs both are Appimages so it depends on how you feel about using Appimages.
The reason for using the Emacs Appimage was the version in the repos doesn't support elpher.

Hi all,
I have recently discovered a new Internet protocol called Gemini. https://gemini.circumlunar.space/ A sort of a modern take on the Gopher protocol. As a lover of text and minimal design, it's a breath of fresh air from the migraine the Web gives me every time I open a browser these days.
Just wondering what the thoughts of the community are on Gemini.
A Gemini site is called a capsule.
Here is my Capsule

#59 Devuan Derivatives » Kernel panic booting Dowse on a Raspberry pi 2 » 2020-04-27 10:37:17

Hello I'm wondering if someone could help me with a problem I am having with dowse on a Raspberry Pi 2
When I try to boot the image I get a Kernel panic error. I have re flashed the SD card several times and re downloaded the image but I still get the same error below.
"end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b
random: crng init done"
I have looked at a few forums about this error regarding the raspberry pi, the solutions are reinstall it to the SD card or replace the SD card.
Press enter on the keyboard or plug in a mouse.
Apart from replacing the SD card none of these seem to resolve the error sadly. I tested the SD card with Raspbian and it worked fine so I think the SD card is okay.
Hopefully someone might be able to help with this error, dowse looks like a really interesting project.
thanks
ruenoak.

This is my favorite talk from the Devuan conference. I've watched it many times.
Hopefully one day I will be able to make it in person to a future Devuan conference.
#61 Re: Other Issues » LibreOffice 6.1.5 or 6.4.2 to ASCII from Beowulf or Ceres repos? » 2020-04-01 08:28:15
Hi Monti I could be wrong but I don't think backports are ready for Beowulf.
I was able to run LibreOffice 6.4.2.2 using an Appimage from here: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/
seems to work fine for me.
hope this helps.

#64 Re: Off-topic » Life after Firefox » 2017-06-06 06:59:19
Seamonkey user here yip old school Mozilla. though I wonder, Seamonkey and other Firefox based browsers, how long do they have?
Seamonkey 2.46 is based on Firefox 49 but eventually they are going to get to 57 and then what? I don't think they are big enough to go it alone.
I have Vivaldi installed and it's a good browser, I will try GNU Icecat looks interesting, hmmm maybe I'll just go back to using Lynx!
#65 Devuan » Devuan running seti@home on Digital Ocean » 2017-06-05 09:15:50

Hello, first off thanks to everyone for Devuan it's a great distribution!
I decided to setup Devuan on Digital Ocean to run as a Seti@Home server
Being a long time Seti@home fan and all things Astronomical in general, I thought it would be a good idea, and running on Devuan, a better idea.
I already have an older Ubuntu 14.04 server running seti but more the merrier I think, and it also does a few other things besides Seti.
I first upgraded Debian Jessie to Devuan then installed the boinc seti app and configured it.
It runs really well.
If anyone is interested in the Seti@home setup, I followed this tutorial here.
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ … r-debian-7
Thanks again for a great Distribution.
Ruenoak.
