#76 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Anacron symlinked to "true", again. » 2022-06-25 09:23:28

(temporary) workaround, remove live-config package if you don't need it, and reinstall anacron afterwards.

#77 Re: Other Issues » APT want to autoremove too much package.. » 2022-06-25 09:22:28

how is this weird?
a lot of packages depend on the existence of a DM and you're removing both (lightdm + slim).
nothing weird there.

what's weird is how does slim gets reinstalled after you purged it initially.. something's missing in between probably.. you can't purge the same package twice..

#78 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Anacron symlinked to "true", again. » 2022-06-24 20:44:51

anacron looks good over here.. (never used refracta installer though).

but before messing up with diversions etc,  did you try : `apt install --reinstall anacron` ?
and what's the output of `dpkg -S /usr/sbin/anacron`  ?

#79 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » how on Devuan analyze boot time? » 2022-06-23 19:30:57

bootlogd or bootchart? never really bothered with that tbh.
there's also systemd-bootchart, not sure if it's dependent on systemd, if not, maybe it can be used in devuan too.

no, mariadb is a fork of mysql. 2 different products. you can see OP is using external repo specifically for mysql.

#81 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] devuan icon question » 2022-06-19 17:38:51

thanks for the links, i already had the git repos cloned locally, just thought i asked for a package instead.. (devulcan.svg rocks btw smile )

deepsea start-here.png is actually the gnome icon, so i guess it's based on gnome-icon-theme(?)... just a suggestion, it could be replaced with devuan logo in devuan icon-themes for default usage by any other panel in devuan. (and iirc, some panels use /etc/alternatives/start-here* diversions, so that could also point to devuan logo instead.. )

anyway, another note to future "quests", there are more deepsea icons (= deepsea-icons-square-swoosh and deepsea-round-icons that are not included in official deepsea-icon package...) in https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documenta … ra-deepsea

thanks.

which icon package has devuan emblem (or something similar/alternative to debian-swirl.png) ? 
looking for an alternative to /usr/share/icons/*/24*24/places/start-here.png
deepsea icon package is already installed, but it's not included there. (ceres).
so far i could only find a reportbug included svg (/usr/share/reportbug/devuan-emblem.svg) .

thanks in advance.

#83 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] ungoogled-chromium, Iridium, or LibreWolf, please » 2022-06-03 13:11:01

nope, these builds from the link i posted are from an official member of ungoogled-chromium.. please check better next time.
they're not from some random github user.. so, if you don't trust him, you shouldnt trust any binaries from ungoogled-chromium either.

edit] so they decided to fix downloads, and now Eloston builds and posts in official link :

#84 Re: Documentation » unknown error during apt-key execution » 2022-06-03 11:39:52

devuan keyrings should work by default in devuan installations . 

ls -la /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d ?

what's the devuan-keyring version? (apt policy devuan-keyring)
read the release notes : https://files.devuan.org/devuan_chimaer … _notes.txt

btw, could also be a mirror problem. maybe retry with it.deb.devuan.org or another specific mirror.

#85 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] ungoogled-chromium, Iridium, or LibreWolf, please » 2022-06-03 11:33:52

note, still behind on versions : 98.0.4758.80-1.unportable1

there's also rofi, dmenu replacement (amongst other things.)

#87 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] pkgmaster.devuan.org unaccessible through IPv6 » 2022-05-15 21:06:19

seems pkgmaster.devuan.org ipv6 address has changed sometime during the last few days.. that's what probably caused the error.

#89 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Runit - sym-linking sv » 2022-03-22 15:41:43

never used xen, so not sure i understand correctly, is there a xen runscript available that is not working?
if you want to use the sysv script maybe this helps : https://salsa.debian.org/runit-team/run … ian/README
* readme mentions how to switch from sysv script first then how to switch back.. you probably want the latter (?)

disclaimer, haven't used any of these, just read their features/faq since "can't read user email" drove my curiosity. so, from a fast glimpse,
swisscows seems to use mailvelope addon for browsers for their roundcube webmail (gpg encryption), so both sending/receiving parties need to exchange keys first.. not very user friendly, but they might have good documentation/guides about it, don't know.
good thing, encryption is done on user's machine, not on swisscows, bad thing, it uses javascript opengpg which is not considered very secure by what i've been reading around.
protonmail uses server encryption (inhouse AES or dovecot mail_crypt perhaps? not sure) and also has gpg support, so bad thing they have the encryption keys for the server (if i understand it correctly), good thing -if you trust them- everything is encrypted by default..  they also have these encrypted attachments links which is interesting.. and also encrypted messages expirations.

both based in CH, both use FOSS, both supposedly care about privacy.
communication wise i think they both will be using latest secure ciphers for smtp/imap/pop3, and tbh i think everything else is pretty much the same.
so, i'd say protonmail has a more user friendly encryption scheme (but maybe limited to paying customers only?), while swisscows gives the opportunity to use gpg.. but not out of the box (?).

just 2c.

#94 Re: DIY » Runit: dbus runscript broken » 2022-03-18 09:09:45

no problems with openbox either, but changed runscript as proposed, no actual difference noticed. everything works as it did before.

#95 Re: Other Issues » How can we get Parent release name in devuan , for example Bullseye? » 2022-03-14 18:05:26

seems that's only in bullseye/stable and only for debian_version. devuan_version shows chimaera.
in testing/ceres i get release name :

/etc/debian_version :
bookworm/sid
/etc/devuan_version :
chimaera/ceres

edit] hm, chimaera should be daedalus, no?

#96 Re: DIY » Runit: dbus runscript broken » 2022-03-14 18:03:19

same with @fsmithred, unable to reproduce.
currently running lightdm & MATE on devuan ceres (sid), but mostly work with openbox.
dbus 1.14.0-1devuan1
runit 2.1.2-45
will also try with the suggested line on next reboot.

#97 Re: Other Issues » How can we get Parent release name in devuan , for example Bullseye? » 2022-03-14 09:54:18

look at : /etc/debian_version
its included in base-files package, along with /etc/devuan_version

#98 Re: Off-topic » What are you reading/want to read ? » 2022-02-22 19:15:30

correct is "as soon as nazis/racists come in, earth is doomed.. again."

everything is politics, even the systemd "series".. so, being "neutral"/ignore/look the other way, isn't the "nice" thing to do.
it's obvious, a nazi bastard is crawling around here, spreading misinformation.. talking about 2 sides on racism... nope, there's just people and racist bastards..

p.s. lots of books about it.
