Liebe Posteo-Nutzerin, lieber Posteo-Nutzer,

wir haben soeben einen unsicheren E-Mail-Empfang vom Absender flux@dev1galaxy.org (dev1galaxy.org, 5.135.82.176) abgelehnt. Wir haben die E-Mail wie gewünscht nicht angenommen, weil Sie die TLS-Empfangs-Garantie aktiviert haben.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
das Posteo-Team

I received above message from my Mail provider twice already:
It says :

unsecured mail from flux@dev1galaxy.org  has been refused by us (posteo.de), because of missing TLS ...

I have choosen to activate the feature TLS Reception on my mail account, as this feature throws out a lot of spam already before the reception in the mail server.

It might be sensible to provide TLS for dev1galaxy.org mailing activities. That surely is not spam.

Best regards

#77 Re: Other Issues » (Unattended-upgrades) Apparently I'm running Debian... Again. » 2023-01-08 15:03:36

Tested this at beowulf and after

aptitude show unattended-upgrades
Paket: unattended-upgrades                      
Version: 2.8
vi 50unattended-upgrades
%s/debian/devuan/g
%s/Debian/Devuan/g
:wq
unattended-upgrade --debug | wc -l

189 lines showed up (many) of debs, which can be upgraded.
In Devuan beowulf the problem is not fixed yet

#79 Re: Installation » FAI (Fully Automatic Installation) from debian to devuan » 2022-12-24 18:36:26

i think, the trick is to modify
/usr/share/doc/fai-doc/examples/simple/basefiles/mk-basefile
and to include devuan amongst the other distros.
probably needs a contact to upstream

merry Christmas

Hi
grepping the conf for active lines

 /etc/fai/apt/sources.list 

shows

3:deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
4:deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free
11:deb http://fai-project.org/download bullseye koeln

Should not point line 3 and 4 to deb.devuan.org to get a clean devuan install on the client?

cd /etc/fai/

#82 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] fresh devuan install fails with debootstrap chroot warning » 2022-11-07 10:46:54

I finally burned the server ISO on a cdrom , connected a Year 2000 cdrom drive with the IDE connector,
The standard Install of devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_server.iso makes huge /home /root / partitions and a small /var partition.

So I had to make an expert install with no /home partition,
and evaded lvm.
Partition  / , Partition /tmp Partition /usr , Partition /usr/local/ small , all <= 6 GB
The rest for Partition /var 230 GB .
Installation successfull.

Another thing is that I chose expert install on my first attempt but aborted due to the following reason:
When being in the partitioning window, I was presented with only 4 (or 5) choices for a filesystem (ext2 being one of them, but neither ext3 nor ext4).
As I wanted ext4 for / again, I aborted and chose automatic install where it was available (along with a lot more choices).

Just wanted to let developers know that there may be a glitch in the installation process (at least in my configuration).

I fell over the same threshold.
I wouldn't call it a glitch.
The expert install is not really an expert install, as it is not complete in all needed options.

#84 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » local search engines » 2022-06-23 22:52:24

I looked now at recollindex, which i run from a cron job, which calls a bash shell , which calls recollindex -x
runs as user 1000 for its $HOME and /usr/share

#!/bin/bash 
# recollindex indiziert alle Dateien

. /usr/local/bin/log_functions.source

open_log

RECOLLINDEX=/usr/bin/recollindex
[ -x ${RECOLLINDEX} ] || exit 1

# alte Indices nach *.old verschieben, um einen Vergleich zu haben. 
 
cd ~/.recoll/xapiandb/ || exit 2

for datei in  *.glass ; do
	[ -f ${datei} ] && mv "${datei}" "${datei}".old
done

#	echo $(date +'%F %T') $(hostname) alte Indices nach *.old verschoben

LOG=~/.recoll/recollindex.log
if [ -s ${LOG} ] ; then
	mv ${LOG} ${LOG}.old
	touch ${LOG}
fi

cd ~ || echo "cd home failed"  

# der Indizierungslauf
$RECOLLINDEX -x
echo recollindex $?

echo "$(date +'%F %T') $(hostname) Recollindex Ende"

close_log_exit

The log_functions do some logging and recording

When I look ath the processes ,
all this bash shell has niceness 0 ,
but /usr/bin/recollindex -x runs with niceness 19 and all subprocesses
This sometimes does not finish therefore, also while the cpus are idling.

It is possible to manually renice as root the recollindex and its suprocesses to 0,
but I did not see and find, where this niceness is set to this extrem value.
It is not the idea to intervene in a cron job

Nothing mention of niceness in man recollindex or info recollindex. nor on the web. nor in the conf files

I tried to update the BIOS and ended several times with a CMOS checksum failure. Maybe the MB is doomed. Will test later again

I spent the day with digging in this horrible old BIOS and the Interaction with messed up USB sticks,
which do not behave as one would expect when isos are copied to them without proper complete erasing old partitions, mbr GBT and the like.
In this respect I miss a multiboot Stick (which works) for several Images and isos.

After having sorted this out, and using the regular Install of the netinstall iso I arrive at the same result

I wrote:
Failure trying to run : chroot "/target" dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/some......deb

from my post up there

/var/cache/apt is missing again.
However I copied the syslog and will bring it here, once  I open the box and move the /dev/sda to this thing I am using right now.

There must be a difference if it must work on bare metal of 2008.

it is possible to see the memory needs.

There is still plenty of 600,000kByte in RAM available(free)

However /var/cache/apt is not generated when going to the step of install base system

Tried the same with server install

I had the same
Warnung : Failure trying to run : chroot "/target" dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd.3.5.51_amd64.deb

/var/cache/apt/ directory is completely missing !

It seems, that the RAM of 1GB (-videoram) is not sufficient to install a devuan server, also it could once be done as an upgrade from the debian history

there is no top and the ps of busybox has no options. so I cannot see how much RAM is in use.

silently fails the installer without telling the true reason, why the install must fail

Hi
I ran a webserver with beowulf, LAMP, nextcloud which started failing the 23rd May 2022. Before on debian, later devuan.
Also ssh remote login and rsnapshot was scrapped. I took it from the net/grid on the 25th.
Yesterday I investigated and noted that fail2ban erases logfiles on every root login of root since 23 May. Having problem with upgrade to chimaera and especially ldconfig. This looks like another story. (hijacked?)

I decided to make a fresh install.
tried to make a fresh install now using the chimaera netinstall in expert mode. Release_notes_chimaera_4.0.0.md from Di 12 Okt 2021 12:48:01 CEST
this install fails repeatedly with a debootstrap error failing to chroot to "target/"  .... also in install mode.

HW is this old Intel atom described here https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=4693

iso written with dd to the usb stick

tested now with kernel linux-image-4.19.0-20 from beowulf, but the function is the same missing.

vgacon.c patch has been backported to 4.19. to remove the code.

Not everybody is happy with dropping this code, when LTv makes a ... decision

AND : /usr/bin/less is not available in runlevel 1 !

#92 Re: Other Issues » Scrolling Output in the Console Window » 2022-04-03 13:10:11

and I made another test :
ssh'ed from the console of the kernel 5.10 laptop to the server with Kernel 4.19
and the scrolling function is gone.

As I tend to work on the lowest level necessary this is really a PITA.

#93 Re: Other Issues » Scrolling Output in the Console Window » 2022-04-03 12:42:52

I tested tmux and screen on the DUT console.
They do not bring this functionality with them.

so Linus Tv is wrong, that nobody uses this functionality.
Anyone, who must access bare HW through  the keyboard without intervening ssh tunnels etc, falls back to the functionality.
This haṕpens mostly during the first manual install.
And it is annoying, if the function is there in all other forms of graphic terminals, shells and tunnels, but not during a direct access.

Who tells LTV ?

Well, there is no generic Devuan console. I guess you are talking about the terminals you can open on the graphical DE. There may of them, Gnome Terminal, Mate Terminal, xterm ....

Why don't you tell us a bit about the environment you are working on?

see above

There is a server (beowulf) which does not even have an xserver.
Edit:

used mostly through ssh , where the problem does not exist.

I have Laptops with chimaera, but also here I do admin tasks in the console.
Edit : And here the problem comes up.

Since some time I miss the function of page-up and page-down in the console. I do not recall when this was gone. If you want to see some output, which has passed the uppermost line in the console window, this output is lost. If you are lucky, you can repeat the event and pipe the output into less, then you can navigate in the output.

I happened to put an old 486 Desktop in service again last week, which was bought in 1998 and had not been in operation since Nov 2007 or so. Luckily it worked and it showed a SuSE7.0 install with kernel 2.2.16 installed and a fvwm95 desktop. that makes ~ 40 tasks !
And there I could scroll the console window up and down, I remember with Shift-Page-Up/-Down, as much as the size of the console memory permits.
How can i get this scrolling function in the devuan console again, as i do all administrative tasks in the console ?

happens not in x-terminals
depends not on zsh or bash (echo $SHELL)

This concerns

2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2

I have recoll at the moment as a local search engine. It does a good job with my own cronjob in building a nightly database as a local user.

However the desktop app sometimes freezes or blocks the x server completely  and then it must be killed from another terminal.
Or sometimes it does nothing seemingly from e.g. top.
After an undefined time there may be or not results of the search.
I am not happy with this recoll .

Edit : meanwhile I have seen that the recoll desktop has a cpu load of 1% maximum. Something restricts the application.
The niceness is 20 as all others.
When I wait for the result, I do not need a cpulimit or similar.

What is a recommended search engine having possibly a browser interface and running as root ?
What say se expörts?

since about Xmas my automatic updating  via apt-cacher-ng fails.
It fails to download the release files, packages list and the packages completely or sometimes it is extremely slow.

retrieving the files via a browser or with aptitude excluding the apt-cacher-ng works without problem.

this is an error , which comes up from time to time now after 5 month of no trouble .

so sometimes it works, sometimes not. what causes it?

Yes that did it.
leaving it to the network-manager to handle all interfaces does the trick.

When I start my other laptop, without a carrier in the eth0, it has a very long timeout of 1 minute, until it proceeds without the interface eth0.
the culprit is here from /var/log/boot

Fri Dec 10 10:42:01 2021: .
Fri Dec 10 10:42:04 2021: Configuring network interfaces...ifup: waiting for lock on /run/network/ifstate.eth0
Fri Dec 10 10:43:09 2021: done.

I found from 'man ip' that ip has a loop counter, default 10 loops, so probably there is a 'sleep' inside as well?

The kernel knows the state of the interface, maybe there can be a shortcut installed to jump that minute ?
from dmesg:

[11912.170762] r8169 0000:02:00.0 eth0: Link is Up - 100Mbps/Full - flow control off

Ask the kernel to check the carrier, before attempting to raise an interface w/o carrier ? Where to fix ?
Ideas are welcome.
