What for? Your approach isn't useful. Delete that line(s) and you're done.

#727 Re: Installation » How to have updated firefox-esr in Chimaera? » 2021-11-02 19:55:46
Why all this hickup - just checked my 78.15.0ESR: the upgrade to 91.3.0ESR is possible.

Try to replace slim (no more developed) with lightdm. I am running that on a 3700X.

#729 Re: Installation » Devuan was working ok, but now no internet » 2021-10-29 19:52:06
ahh, adding /sbin/blkid now works,
so sudo blkid gives command not found,
but sudo /sbin/blkid works!
Explanation: please read the Chimaera release notes https://files.devuan.org/devuan_chimaer … _notes.txt, especially the section about su (not a Devuan specific problem).

How do I display the uuid's of the disks?

Devuan is free from systemd. Thats the purpose.
#732 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] sysvinit, runit, or OpenRC? » 2021-10-22 19:10:15
I am using openrc since ASCII. Works fine.
My first encounter with runit in a virtual machine a while ago was frustrating. Didn't realy work. Though there are people that are using it with success now. Maybe its time for another try.

What is wrong with firefox-esr 78.15.0? When it is no more supported Chimaera will update to the next release.
Anyhow, I am using firefox-esr downloaded from upstream. It will tell me when the Upgrade to 91.2 is due. I can wait.

#734 Re: Other Issues » Devuan on Virtualbox share not working » 2021-10-18 19:38:00
You have to define the shared folder in the VBox Manager and then you need to mount it within Devuan. Refer to VBox manual.
#735 Re: Other Issues » Devuan on Virtualbox share not working » 2021-10-18 19:07:56
Not a Devuan problem. What exactly do you want to achieve, and what have you done as preparation?
#736 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Chimaera upgrade - Printing » 2021-10-18 17:18:35
Good that you got it working again the oldfashioned way.
In my private environment at home, I did disable IPP in the printer because it interfered with the classic ppd and did not allow to modify the options. This was on a Kyocera P6230 laserprinter a bit more than a year ago. The PPD control survived the upgrade from Beowulf to Chimaera.

Your update bypassed the apt database. Synaptic looks at the database and not at the application.

#739 Re: Installation » no ext3 and ext4 option for formatting partitions during installation » 2021-10-16 18:27:04
... and installed in expert mode. the only options for the file system were ext2, fat, fat32 and that was about it, as far as I can remember ...
This happens if you skip the step "load components". These "components" supply the required modules for the full installation.

#740 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Apt-get update error during Chimaera upgrade » 2021-10-15 16:21:40
The recommendation is to exclude all foreign sources from the upgrade. In your case Earth and Skype and maybe Zoom.
Once the upgrade is done you may take care for the other stuff one by one.

#741 Re: Other Issues » slow shutdown: remaining crypto disks busy failed » 2021-10-15 16:17:07
Well, I have several luks2 encrypted LVMs with ext4/swap running under Chimaera, no delays. As well upgrades from Beowulf as native installs.
What do you mean by overlay fs?

#742 Re: Devuan » As Debian 11 moves closer to Devuan. Is there any reason to stay on De » 2021-10-12 12:25:02
There's something to be said about purpose built devices; I would prefer to use Devuan over Debian, because Devuan is supposed to work 100% fine with SystemV Init. I know I won't need to fight with the system just to get it work and that means a lot to me!
For me, it's not about "not using ____", it's about continuing to use that which "ain't broke and don't need fix'n"!
Same for me,

#743 Re: Other Issues » slow shutdown: remaining crypto disks busy failed » 2021-10-03 09:51:14
Well, the symptoms are similar to the ones I had with ASCII and Beowulf. Encrypted LVMs were not shut down correctly.
When you see this problem with Chimaera I guess something along the cryptsetup packages is missing on your machine. I have installed:
cryptsetup
cryptsetup-bin
cryptsetup-initramfs
cryptsetup-run
libcryptsetup12
udisks2HTH, rolfie

Beowulf? Then you need to patch a file. Gone with Chimaera.

#745 Re: Installation » When did Legacy BIOS cease to exist? » 2021-10-01 19:48:48
.. and then you can remove the "supervisor password" with the machine still having disabled SecureBoot ?
Haven't tried that because the Supervisor PW disables any change of the BIOS settings. Since its a mobile unit I think PW protection makes sense.
And Chimaera is encrypted anyhow.
Maybe I give it a try while I am at home ....

#746 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Laptop cannot finish booting - Again! » 2021-10-01 19:09:50
I did not choose the display manager, I simply got whatever the default is. Is there some reasonably simply config file that can be changed to use a different display manager?
Yes, I'm getting seriously interested in upgrading. This string of disabling screwups is really getting frustrating.
Well, meanwhile I know what I want and how to install a system with SW I want from CLI level onward. I have read the release notes and the recommendations of the suitable combinations. I am happy with lightdm.
What I do is:
apt install xorg
apt install lightdm
apt install mate-desktop-environment-extras --no-install-recommends on older PCs/for my wife
apt install cinnamon --no-install-recommends on my workstation and laptop.
followed by installation of all the goodies I use and need (got a nice piece of paper documenting my procedures and experiences).
About switching the display manager: I have no experience with that.

#747 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Laptop cannot finish booting - Again! » 2021-09-30 21:07:38
I gave Slim a try on ASCII and abandoned it for LightDM. Get rid of Slim. I consider it to be a pain .....
And consider upgrading to Beowulf, works fine. Meanwhile I am on Chimaera on all the every day used computers. Its rock stable.

#748 Re: Installation » When did Legacy BIOS cease to exist? » 2021-09-30 20:52:54
Bought an Acer Aspire 5 laptop in April this year. No more CSM present, thanks to the agreement of the major HW/SW suppliers.
To be able to disable SecureBoot you have to set a supervisor password.
Installed Chimaera on it, since then working fine.

I get the same error on my wife's PC (Chimaera, openrc, MATE). When I klick ok, I get the dialogue.
No issue on my PC with Chimaera, openrc, Cinnamon.
