Devuan is the best Linux distro.

Hi guys,

what is the main difference between /bin and /usr/bin and what do you think about this last Debian decision? Thanks!

Files that are in /usr in the Debian 12 release should remain in /usr, while files that are in /bin, /lib* or /sbin in the Debian 12 release should remain in those directories.  If any files are moved from /bin, /lib* or /sbin into /usr after the Debian 12 release, they should be moved back to their Debian 12 locations.

I definitely solved it:

I came back to Debian to troubleshoot it...

On Debian I used this method:

http://portal.mozz.us/gemini/omg.pebcak … ian-12.gmi

It looks enough reliable, I'll test it for a week and I'll try to adapt it to Devuan, and stick with it. 🤞

what about replacing xfce4-screensaver package with xscreensaver?

yes I am exactly him...

Ha! I remember you! I used to be on that forum too (Ombra) years ago, nice to meet you again smile

Cool! These days I am bouncing between Devuan, Debian, FreeBSD and OpenBSD...

Anyway xfce4-screensaver is actually missing on the repo... perhaps is too thigh with systemd...

Well the issues is getting worst... 😩

I tested Debian on the same hardware, I bought to my daughter the same laptop and install Debian instead of Devuan, and it does not have issue whatsoever.

The problem is with Devuan and Runit, I guess. 🤔

To recap:

  • The XFCE4 settings logind workaround does not work anymore

  • I tried to edit logind.conf ignoring lid actions and did not work

  • I tried with acpid and acpi/acpi-support, both did not work

  • I tried disabling KMS, did not work

  • I tried the steps above with xserver-xorg-video-intel uninstalled, did not solve anything

  • I tried to general disable the lid botton, could not achieve it

So far the only things that works it is to manually suspend the laptop before to close the lid. If I forget to do so: if I am lucky I get the screen frozen but I can enter in another TTY and relaunch lightdm, I would point out that sudo service lightdm --fullrestart does not work, instead I have to use sudo killall lightdm and perhaps this is some how related; otherwise I get a striped black and white screen with a frozen keyboard and I have to type alt+print_screen reisub to force a reboot.

This is becoming problematic and I would really like to solve it issue, thanks. 🙏

Danielsan

Hi, I ended up here because I am trying to fix an issue with LID that I temporaraly resolved with this trick but some recent changes made it ineffective:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-power-manager -p /xfce4-power-manager/logind-handle-lid-switch -n -t bool -s true

When I open the lid the system got frozen but the mouse, therefore disabling it looks like a better solution, however I don't have the same output as GNU User:

find /proc/acpi -iname lid
/proc/acpi/button/lid
/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID

I am missing lid in the section he used to disable it:

cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
Device	S-state	  Status   Sysfs node
HDAS	  S3	*disabled  pci:0000:00:0e.0

Any suggestion? Thanks! 🙏

Apparently it was a bug, yesterday I got an grub update that fixed the issue, so if grub can't access to / because encrypted simply falls back to regular grub...

This line

Found theme: /usr/share/desktop-base/grub-themes/desktop-grub-theme/theme.txt

indicates that grub wants to read the path /usr/share/desktop-base/grub-themes/desktop-grub-theme. This path is available on an unencrypted system for grub and for the system when running update-grub at any time, no errros.
On an encrypted system, when grub starts, this path isn't available yet until the initramfs has opened the root directory. This is when you get the errors as from the initial post. When running update grub there is no error since then /usr/share.... is available.

Half understood... /boot is actually clear...

Are you tell me to update grub configuration and move the theme into /boot...

I don't need a theme at all how can I remove it? I prefer plain old-style grub perhaps this is even better to solve it... 🤔

acpi also deals with lid closure.

Glad xfce4-power-manager works for you though.

After some recent updates this trick stopped to work...

What did you mean with acpid? Is it something to install additionally?

Hi folks,

I need help to troubleshoot this issue.

When the AC is uplugged closing and opening the lid causes the screen to become totally insensitive, I can move the mouse but I can't click anything.

If I g too the TTYs and I try to restart the lightdm(runit) through sudo service lightdm stop/start this command doesn't work, but killall lightdm does.

Suspending works, hibernate doesn't, I am not sure if the issue is always because the eMMC storage, by the way I haven't found any hints because I don't know where I actually should looking for.

It doesn't matter now, but I'm not sure what you meant with "Already posted"? Afaict your OP doesn't include output of either ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid (note the -l) or blkid, which both are ways of seeing the associations between uuids and partitions.

I posted the first command but not the second... And actually the partition it was unable to find was the LVM one belonging to root...

When this is the case you may need to move the theme files to the unencrypted /boot.

This sound interesting, actually the theme as changed.

However /EFI and /BOOT are over clear partitions...

From /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_THEME=/usr/share/desktop-base/grub-themes/desktop-grub-theme/theme.txt

Hi guys,

I am pretty sure this a bug or a regression, is happened around a couple of week ago, perhaps after an upgrade.

The laptop requires almost a minute to come out with this warning text:

error: no such device: 3ba85e43-bd5b-4a44-9544-41921221101b
error: no server is specified.
error: no server is specified.

After that it goes in grub and the os boot properly after typing the passphrase to unlock luks...

I fsck with a minimal-live iso the whole disk and partitions and nothing came out as issue or was fixed.

Indisputably is related with the storage and therefore with the eMMC drive, since the latter is the main storage for this laptop:

 ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/
3ba85e43-bd5b-4a44-9544-41921221101b@  F447-1A01@

You might want to look at overlay-boot from devuan/experimental for light-weight container-like hosts using linux namespaces. I.e. sharing the kernel by virtual hosts. (Source at https://git.devuan.org/devuan/overlay-boot)

Thank you because, I read several article about the topics and namespaces aren't meant to persistent, also are pretty trickery and require knowledge that I miss completely.
