Puzzled and confused about gvfs (virtual file system processes)
I noticed those tasks running and wondered what they do. I did not find much of an explanation so I looked through the dependencies and dependants.
They must have come through the installed xfce that was on the live system I used to install Devuan. Lots of mate cinnamon and xfce dependants, very few items I ever use (engrampa, evince, pcmanfm..) So I used synaptic to see what would come off when uninstalled.
There are 7 of these gvfs pkgs and only the gvfs---bin is not installed, all have plenty of dependants. When I tried to uninstall only those 6pkgs were on the list to be uprooted. None of their dependants. Meaning?? They have alternative dependencies and gvfs is there as a helper?

You may have a look to another road with no gvfs and no udisk2 like udevil and spacefm

The main trick was to not use discard and use fstrim instead. Other than that, the other main advice from early ssd days was to avoid writing too often to the ssd.

I think this is not an issue anymore with modern ssds, however I still put /tmp/ to use ram as you did, and I still use a dedicated /var/ partition on an hdd, as /var/ and /tmp/ are the partition that use more write cycles.

By the way my /home/ partition on not on ssd, so I use symlinks to put my steam and playonlinux games that need disk speed.

@cretsiah . . . Did you find the Visual Install Guides on the website (navigation is at the bottom)? The one for the refracta cli install hasn't been done yet but the GUI install is there. The procedure is basically the same. It's harder to customize a refracta install but it's very fast. You can be up and running in 15 minutes!

I can't find this web page using links available on the main page , it's too bad

I don't know if it is easy to remove pulseaudio with the default apt settings. However on a system installed from scratch with recommended packages disabled, I added and removed pulseaudio later without any issues (ascii)

thierrybo · Hardware & System Configuration

discard is not needed but then you have to run the fstrim command (from util-linux
package) on your ssd weekly. The easiest way is to put an executable script in /etc/cron.weekly with this command :

/sbin/fstrim --all || true

Hi,

I don't understand exactly what you want. If you do not use a display manager and want to boot without starting X automatically, the common solution is to add startx in your .profile and only allow TTY1 to run it. If you don't wan to start X, just change to TTY2 to login:

if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ $(tty) == /dev/tty1 ]; then
	exec startx
fi

Agree, using apulse + firefox since more than one year now without any problem

Did you tried Bunsenlabs, it is an updated Crunchbang, although you may find it a little "bloated" compared to the original.

With some extra work, you can install Bunsenlabs on Devuan, although I gave up on that.

It is more harmful to activate backports, install packages from it and unactivate it afterwards because it might cause dependencies conflicts for further updates as in this other thread I answered this week. As a rule of thumbs, as long as you have at least ONE package installed from backports, keep the repository activated.

I always do a full-upgrade on stable, but I would not do that if I was using testing/unstable. However I ALWAYS read the command result before typing YES to see if it will not remove a bunch of packages. I had an issue one time where I did not read it and after running the command, even xorg was removed! So if you read carefully each command result before accepting it should be safe on "stable". If you feel uncomfortable with it, use just upgrade ( I believe "safe-upgrade" id for Aptitude).

By the way before using Debian and Devuan I used synaptic for ten years on Ubuntu, and in Synaptic the default was "Smart Upgrade" ( = full-upgrade).

I assumed it was advised to comment them out as soon as the backported package is installed. I must have misunderstood the instructions: "It is advised to disable backports and only enable to install specific packages." (devuan.org) https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list

Sorry but i'm afraid this was written by someone who do not understand how backport repository work in Debian. This seems to be a copy/paste advice from a sentence related to adding temporarily testing or sid repository to just install one package. However the advice to install only specific packages that you need is true. For me I need three things : a more recent virtualbox, nvidia-driver and kernel package.

HextorBRX wrote:

Ok then. So you are saying I should keep the above lines commented and a regular update such as sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade will upgrade the backported package and its dependencies?
Thank you

Yes, not commented. Every time i use sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade I get stable updates and for example new virtualbox versions from backports if available.

Neither https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ or https://wiki.debian.org/Backports advices to remove repository after installing a package, I trust more debian documentation to Devuan documentation on this topic and more than one year with this setup.

3) since there is no security support for packages from backports, all I have to do is install the backported package, uncomment those lines, and update-upgrade my system as usual?

You do not have to uncomment backport repository. It is not the same as adding testing repository to your sources.list. Backports are specially crafted packages to use in your "stable" system, to fit in stable and not breaking anything.

If you install packages from backports repository (with "-t ascii-backports") and let it in your sources.list, it will NOT bring you unwanted packages. You will only get updates to those you installed (and their dependencies) from these backports. This si even adviced otherwise you won't get updates to these backports.

I use devuan stable with backports repository activated for at least one year and the only updates I get from backports were packages I installed or their dependancies

thierrybo · Desktop and Multimedia

it seems you mixed backports packages. libglx0 (= 1.1.0-1~bpo9+1) is from backports, so perhaps you added backports to your repositories, installed some packages, then removed the repository. If you removed backport repository, add it again and try to install the more recent nvidia driver from backports:
apt install -t ascii-backports nvidia-driver

that is why I switched to "APT::Install-Recommends "false";" a long time ago...

I bought my motherboard in 2012 and never had these messages. One month ago I downloaded and installed the most recent bios for this mobo and now my Devuan is stuck 2 minutes at boot with a bunch of these ACPI errors. The system runs fine after that but I wonder if I will not install my previous bios.

Yes i tried pytyle2 and 3 eight month ago but I gave up, tiling is definitely not for me!

OK, thanks to my install records, I am online again

I installed again all missing manually installed packages:

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-dummy
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-void
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-evdev
sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

sudo apt install thunderbird-l10n-fr
sudo apt install kdenlive
sudo apt install steam  -> The following packages have unmet dependencies: 
                        steam:i386 : Dépends: libgl1-mesa-glx:i386 but will NOT be installed

sudo apt install htmldoc
sudo apt install openshot
sudo apt install -t ascii-backports virtualbox-qt
sudo apt install keepassxc
sudo apt install filezilla
sudo apt install playonlinux

I just can't install steam anymore, I have to investigate.

Still I do not understand what triggers all these removals.

But I noticed something weird. Some of the packages that were removed and that have been installed thereafter as dependencies are still "auto-removeable".

For example , "nvidia-settings" has been reinstalled when I installed "nvidia-driver". apt show nvidia-settings show the package as not manually installed : APT-Manual-Installed: no

But it is still listed as a package that can be removed automatically.

Hi,

I said to myself :I will not be the only one, but alas I do not see any message about this, so this should be my fault...

I use Devuan since 01/01/2018 (after 12 years using Ubuntu=setup), stable ascii, with backports activated. Here is the full list of programs I installed from backports :

- virtualbox
- virtualbox-qt
- libcuda1
- libnvidia-encode1
- wine
- wine32
- nvidia-driver
- nvidia-detect
- mesa-vulkan-drivers
- mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386
- vulkan-utils

I also use chrome repository:

deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

and ceres repository, but this is ONLY to show what is available with

apt list -a

, I never installed any program from sid,and the repository is pinned like this :

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: -1
Package: *:i386
Pin: release a=unstable:
Pin-Priority: -1

My setup use Openbox Window Manager but no Display Manager, I use startx to run Openbox.

I use

 apt full-upgrade

as I do usually. Yesterday I ran it, and now when I type startx i get :

/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc: 3: exec: /usr/bin/X: not found

Reading the apt log below, it turns out that XORG has been replaced by wayland automatically, how can this occurs?

By the way some important packages for me have been removed :

- default-jre and openjdk-8-jre
- alsamixergui
- xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-video-nouveau ....
- ffmpeg !!!
- simplescreenrecorder
- nvidia-driver
- yelp
- python-wxgtk3.0 python3-pyqt5 python3-poppler-qt5
- remarkable
- paprass
- breeze
- mesa-utils
- abiword
- kdenlive
- compton
- steam
- qt5ct
- rapidsvn
- zenity
- vlc
- xfe
- lightning thunderbird
- sqlitebrowser
- htmldoc
- vitualbox-qt
- openshot
- htmldoc
- keepassxc
- filezilla

So I know this will be painful, but what I did wrong and how to avoid this occurs again? From what I see in upgraded packages, I have SERIOUS suspicions on

google-chrome-stable

triggering all that mess.

Hi,
I installed steam on my system one week ago (I am not a gamer, but I wanted to test all the new stem/Proton stuff). Here is what I did for an nvidia gtx760 card:

Using only Nouveau drivers for my Nvidia card, I switched to proprietary drivers

Activate ascii-backports repository

# dpkg --add-architecture i386
# apt update
# apt install -t ascii-backports --install-recommends wine
# apt install -t ascii-backports --install-recommends wine32
# apt install -t ascii-backports --install-recommends nvidia-driver 
# apt install -t ascii-backports nvidia-detect
# apt install -t ascii-backports mesa-vulkan-drivers
# apt install -t ascii-backports vulkan-utils
# apt install --install-recommends steam

Check you have python package (for python 2.7) and python3 installed.

And I added nothing more. I didn't even installed the 32-bit OpenGL libraries as stated in Debian wiki, for the moment all is working fine.

I am also running a fresh devuan ascii, first installed nouveau, then "nvidia-drivers" 390 from ascii-backports : same message, but all is working fine. (GTX-760)

Use "apt update" instead of "apt-get update". Apt will prompt 'are you sure?' for each package; answer 'Y' and the update should work.
I think 'apt-get' is being / has been deprecated in favour of 'apt' so worth trying to use apt for all commands going forward.

apt-get has not been deprecated in favour of apt. apt-get commands are not "user friendly" for interactive use. So apt is build on top of apt-get, apt-cache ... to get nicer results and simpler commands, and as a result commands syntax is not guaranteed to not change. Howewer apt-get will be kept as-is and is suitable for sripting / use in programs.

This is all explained here : https://itsfoss.com/apt-vs-apt-get-difference/

thierrybo · Documentation

Yes,

as I came also myself in xinit not running on a minimal install without systemd, policykit and consolekit, it turns out that xserver-xorg-legacy was build specifically for "legacy" debian setups without systemd :

xorg-server (2:1.17.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium
The Xorg server is no longer setuid root by default. This change reduces the
risk of privilege escalation due to X server bugs, but has some side effects:
* it relies on logind and libpam-systemd
* it relies on a kernel video driver (so the userspace component doesn't
touch the hardware directly) -> kernel mode setting (KMS)
* it needs X to run on the virtual console (VT) it was started from
* it changes the location for storing the Xorg log from /var/log/ to
~/.local/share/xorg/
On systems where those are not available, the new xserver-xorg-legacy package
is needed to allow X to run with elevated privileges. See the
Xwrapper.config(5) manual page for configuration details.

Hi,

although for me it is safe to have libsystemd0 (but not systemd init), I did not understand how you can avoid installing it. It is a dependency of xserver-xorg-core, and unless you are running a server, any desktop environment or window manager will have xserver-xorg-core package.
