OK, I confess:
You now totally lost me.

Anything I can do solve the problem ?
Or is this even a problem? (the ff is, but I mean the "empty chimaera -updates")

#77 Re: Installation » chimaera update firefox broken/ linux-image not updated » 2022-01-01 11:35:23

Yes (as in: I ran it again just now, so I'm not sure, if it was there before. I did a reboot inbetween)

apt update
Hit:1 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-updates InRelease
Hit:3 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security InRelease

And yes FF still broken in the fluxbox windows. (But maybe this is the last push to change to PaleMoon as default browser...But FF might be still necessary on some occasions)

#78 Re: Installation » chimaera update firefox broken/ linux-image not updated » 2022-01-01 10:21:37

I did the

apt update && apt full-upgrade

now. (No idea how I missed that in my Beowulf - Chimaera update.)
But..

 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     release a=now
 500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security/main amd64 Packages
     release v=4.0,o=Devuan,a=stable-security,n=chimaera-security,l=Devuan-Security,c=main,b=amd64
     origin deb.devuan.org
 500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera/contrib amd64 Packages

     release v=4.0,o=Devuan,a=stable,n=chimaera,l=Devuan,c=main,b=amd64
     origin deb.devuan.org

Do I miss something? The order of the "brands"(is that the right word?) is not important or is it?
Like these 2 line do the same?:

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-updates main non-free contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-updates main contrib non-free

at least I can spot no (other) typo in my sources.list

The linux-image is updated after that, though.

#79 Re: Installation » chimaera update firefox broken/ linux-image not updated » 2021-12-31 21:53:24

I just did an routinely update of my chimaera installation.
(running fluxbox).

Firefox (91.4.1esr) is now missing the window frame, so it can't be moved nor resized. Additionally any popup window like the "about-version" will stay on top and won't be closable.   Any fix for that?
(I'm open for any browser alternative now, too, since that is kinda one annoyance too much)

Also linux-image-amd64 is marked as "kept back"  after the update (and reboot) as the only package.

OK, first apologies for not reading my logs properly (I usually do that and understand it, might wise to not do those things with a migraine head...).
If happen to come to germay (once you are allowed anyways), barbecue is on me.

And thanks, you where totally right. Group "dialout" it is, which confused me a bit first, till I remembered what the tty serial was firstly used for... *sound of the modem in my head*

I'm trying to get my devuan notebook to connect to may Lasercutter.
Software that came with the cutter is Lightburn and I can transfer files by using a thumb drive (copy the *.rd file onto it and the plug the drive into the cutter). But there is an interface to connect the cutter directly to USB (similar to a printer)
I have already installed pmount, so users are able to mount usb devices. The connection to the cutter is shown in the logs:

Sep 14 19:02:16 devuan kernel: [  526.280262] usb 3-1: new full-speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd

Sep 14 19:02:17 devuan kernel: [  526.504635] usb 3-1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0

So next step is installing "usbmodeswitch" to get usbserial?

#85 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Mounting and shutdown not allowed as normal user » 2021-09-14 17:12:30

yes. Thanks.
I normaly don't use this much, but now I have to set up a machine, which serves as the operating terminal for my lasercutter, which will be used by others, too.

So next step is automounting USB thumb drives.

#86 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Mounting and shutdown not allowed as normal user » 2021-09-14 16:34:56

well. I thought I found my solution, but no "usbpmout" in the repos (I assumed a typo, but no usbmount either).

running beowulf.

Notebook of my son (tuxedo)

We can manually start it from grub, but something is off.

set prefix=(hd0,gpt4)
set root=(hd0,gpt4)
insmod linux
insmod normal
normal

what bothers me is this:

~# lsblk

sda              8:0    0 931.5G  0 disk

We havn't done that delibrate, but the sd4 and sda1 having a /boot part seems off.

It is running beowulf, freshly updated.

Any hints where to start fixing?

As I'm about to do more 3D CAD and stuff, I' (finally) try to use a "Spacemouse".

There is free software for that:
http://spacenav.sourceforge.net/
And it was in the repos till debian 9 and is again in 11. Here is the reason:
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1021360 … m-testing/

So my question: Is there any way that this will be in beowulf backports some time. I myself sadly have next to no knowledge in packaging and alike.

#89 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Graphic on a Thinkpad with NVidia card » 2021-02-27 21:30:23

The BIOS on my specific machine has no BIOS setting
Config → Display → Graphics Device
hence no "discrete"
I think I should look into the Bumblebee stuff.

Is there a good way to find out, if this Notebook actually has a Nvidia Optimus feature?

#90 Re: News & Announcements » How you can help Devuan » 2021-02-27 09:57:21

Somehow I still miss, if donations for devuan are non-profit donations, which are accountable as costs inside a company.
But since donations go to a non-proft organisation (dyne.org), it should be possible to get the according receipt?

#91 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [100% SOLVED] Pulseaudio - I can't start it [100% SOLVED] » 2021-02-27 09:43:51

For me that is a Yes.
Needed the hint to release notes, but that's because I generally do my installs like this:
Install a minimal system and than all the things I want. Which for me is Fluxbox as WM, which needs the adjustment to pulseaudio mentioned in the release notes.

#92 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Graphic on a Thinkpad with NVidia card » 2021-02-26 21:51:59

1. thanks for the hint
2. sadly this menu point is missing in my Thinkpad (T460p)

But I start to kinda like the idea of using the nvidia card only when necessary (power consumption wise)

(First I need to get a working docking station, which is a pain because there are docks with DP and DVI, which are mutually exclusive. In whatever universe that should make sense)

#94 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [100% SOLVED] Pulseaudio - I can't start it [100% SOLVED] » 2021-02-26 21:15:38

I have pulseaudio Problems on Devuan too.
So just to get it right: Just by creating these dir/file:

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/pulseaudio-system.conf

you were able to solve the pulseaudio problem? All the other config changing above are unneccessary?

My "new" thinkpad T460p has 2 video cards:

 lspci
...
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 530 (rev 06)
....
02:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM108M [GeForce 940MX] (rev a2)
...

I found this instruction:
https://www.unixmen.com/how-to-make-nvi … on-debian/

But this is how to set up to use the two cards alternating. So you choose which video card is running every time you start a program.

I'm not entirely sure if I want that or rather  have the nvidia card running all graphic all the time.

#96 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » change timezone [solved] » 2021-02-25 20:58:04

Well, yes, perhaps. But nowadays most of the searches will give you the "timedateclt" solution.
And I find it quite interesting to finally "kinda by accident" found out how it is done internally.

Also: I was wondering what requires less typing ;-)

Btw: I must have messed up this while installing. (wonder where I missed the "Europe" path in installation.

I messed up my timezone.
But I'm not totally sure how to fix it.
Is it "just" to set the correct link here:
ls -l /etc/localtime

EDIT:
Yes it is. Use

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Central /etc/localtime

Example to set it to US Central "on the fly"

#98 Re: Installation » [solved] T460p won't boot from internal hdd » 2021-02-25 08:30:10

Well, a mix of both, I guess.
I think, I did combine 2 things incorrectly: EFi turned off in BIOS and installing with a GPT partition table. (again, btw., like my last Debian install).
I chose to turn off the EFi boot an use a mdos part table, which is working.

I think i had that once, but can't remember the fix.

I installed my Thinkpad T460p without any flaw, but the new installation won't boot from the hdd.

I guess I misse dthe botable flag on the the boot partition, but there seems no fix with fdisk for that.

So how do I fix this from the (reduced) shell in rescue mode?
