#76 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] How to get hardware info » 2022-12-10 19:31:19
From the aforementioned Ubuntu forum:
As root, obviously:
dmesg | grep e1000e
modprobe e1000eWhat results does that yield?
Further down that thread there's a link to the Intel drivers site, try building it from scratch as per the instructions.
HTH!
#77 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Devuan jfs boot warnings and errors » 2022-12-06 16:14:11
No. I'm using JFS on all my partitions/disks and it boots pretty quickly. Having said that, I had some issues with one drive (with a JFS partition) but that turned out to be a hardware failure. Fortunately I already had anticipated said failure coming so I had saved my data to a different drive and after a last sync between them the failed drive is now out of my desktop.
In any case, I don't see the JFS warnings/issues you mentioned in your posted dmesg abstract.
For starters, post the contents of the /etc/fstab file. I'm also interested in your CPU make/model and installed RAM capacity.

The western media has completely glossed over and hidden the fact that Neo Nazi militias actually rule Ukraine, through a puppet. And when I say "Neo Nazi militias", that's precisely what I mean - i.e. fanatics who style themselves on the SS, worship Adolph Hitler and would ethnically cleanse most of Europe in a heartbeat if they had the chance.
Yeah, these fanatical Ukrainian SS-militia, worshiping Hitler and probably provoking a dirty war with your KGB-President Vladimir Putin are ruled by a puppet.
A
JEWISH
puppet
Yeah right... 
In case you're wondering, you're completely contradicting yourself by your statements. Never mind, I didn't expect anything less from Russian trolls.
Some of you need need to turn off the fucking TV news / put down the biased tabloids, which only ever repeat the state sponsored narrative and start thinking for yourselves.
I already do, hence my stance on Russia, in particular your spectacularly failing president and his criminal cronies, sorry (not really!) businessmen
Russia is rotten to the core and it will be a matter of time before it crumbles.
Again.
Like it did in the 1990's. Because the cause of the rot hasn't gone: greedy criminals are still in charge, the real puppet is Putin.
And that's my final word on it.

Welcome!
Unfortunately, due to events instigated in Moscow, Russia isn't very popular right now. Nothing personal, but it seems you've chosen the wrong time for this adventure. Consider putting it on hold while the situation improves. That might be a while though.
#80 Re: Installation » Build Packages » 2022-09-03 06:24:58
For starters, you need to install the build-essential package. It doesn't have any code itself, but its dependencies create a complete build-environment.
#81 Re: Installation » Revised migration page on www » 2022-08-11 21:43:55
You can fix that with the following (and it should be in the instructions too!)
echo "ALWAYS_SET_PATH yes" >> /etc/default/suThis forces the shell to set the root path if you elevate permissions from a regular user to root, using su. It works, even skeptical me was converted. This was default behavior until upstream Debian changed it, citing "this was originally as intended under Unix" or something of that nature

#83 Re: Installation » Migration plan (Debian > Devuan) » 2022-07-24 05:26:29
Mind, you cannot create a copy of a running system, you need to run from a live-CD when you create the image.
I'm not sure it'll work as you want, so proceed at own risk!
#84 Re: Installation » Migration plan (Debian > Devuan) » 2022-07-23 23:02:48
Investigate the use of the apt options --get-selections and --set-selections in the apt man page
man apt
apt --get-selections > selection.txt
apt --set-selections < selection.txtBtw, do NOT use dd to backup your disk to an existing backup drive. Unless you don't care about the data that's already on it :-\

#86 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Severe damage to ext4 filesystem - advice needed » 2022-02-12 17:39:11
It's probably better to use dmesg:
{sudo} dmesg | tailwill give you the last 10 lines, usually enough to find which drive letter the kernel has assigned to the USB stick you've just inserted.

#89 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] youtube-dl upgrade problem » 2022-01-20 16:07:15
This is the latest version for yt-dl:
# youtube-dl -U
youtube-dl is up-to-date (2021.12.17)Meaning that the dev has now resumed work on this project.
I'm using a different method of keeping yt-dl current. After installing via apt, somebody advised me to "overwrite" (re-link) the executable with a later version and then use the -U functionality (as root!) to keep said executable at the latest version. I can't recall ATM where I got it from, maybe on these forums?
Not pretty, but it works
#90 Re: Installation » xorg start only as super user! why? » 2022-01-06 23:36:37
For startx to work, you need the xinit package. And if it's not pulled in as dependency, the xdm package as well.

OpenSSH is a project from the OpenBSD folks, perhaps that's an avenue to try?
#92 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] [Beowulf] eudev upgrade failed » 2021-11-27 22:46:13
Thx all, but I managed to solve it, at least by the looks of it.
I knew from my Funtoo days portage had the option for emerge to completely re-install all installed software with a clean tree and I found a command effectively doing the same for aptitude:
aptitude reinstall '~i'That still gave me an error, so I moved the entire directory /var/lib/dpkg/info to a temporary location and recreated the /var/lib/dpkg/info directory itself. I reran the reinstall command for aptitude and all packages were nicely re-downloaded after cleaning out the package cache. So, everything is now reinstalled and after a reboot for a new kernel, all is well again
#93 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] [Beowulf] eudev upgrade failed » 2021-11-27 17:50:38
OK, thx for helping anyway. I may put in a new(er) SSD for the OS while I'm at it, perhaps recover some settings from the old disk.
#94 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] [Beowulf] eudev upgrade failed » 2021-11-27 16:06:36
Well, that didn't work as advertised:
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
files list file for package 'libnet-ssleay-perl' contains empty filename
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)Furthermore, the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/libexpat1:amd64.list doesn't actually exist:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 67 Sep 19 2019 libexpat1:amd64.triggers.bak(the .bak extensions are mine, I moved them as suggested, so it's fairly easy to restore)
The machine is my file/backup server, not my daily-driver desktop. That one is quite alright and updated just fine as I'd mentioned before.
The system drive for the server is /dev/sdc, the other 4 are HDD's for the RAID6. here's smartctl:

Selective Self-tests/Logging not supportedA bit long, sorry. The file system (JFS) is fine, it's checked on every boot, last reboot was just 7 days ago. The drive is relatively old, re-used and replaced an even older drive (which had 60+k hours on it) and I may replace it with a newer one, although I'm hoping to upgrade the hardware and get an NVMe drive for it instead. (this older system can't boot from NVMe, so that's why it uses a SATA drive)
#95 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] [Beowulf] eudev upgrade failed » 2021-11-27 15:12:57
Update: it failed, I still get the error:
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
files list file for package 'console-setup' is missing final newlineReinstalling console-setup didn't help either. Purging libexpat1 will remove 122 packages depending on it, via the dependency chain on dbus, so that's not really an option.
That said, it's now affecting the upgrading of other packages as apt, as well as aptitude, will clonk out with the above error and not upgrade other packages at all.
For completeness:

Hmmm, oddly enough, upgrading the exact same packages on my desktop went flawlessly. Difference: I used apt on the server and aptitude on the desktop.

You still need proprietary boot files from an SD card to boot via the network.
You should be able to have the RPi boot from a server and make it have a session there (thin client model), so the RPi is only a "transport portal" (for want of a better explanation) between your in/output devices (mouse/keyboard/monitor) and the actual system you're running (on the server).
