It worked for me.
Which is why I posted the process with the terminal output so it would be detailed and easy to follow for anyone with the same problem.

You may want to read the posts after mine for further info.
Some steps I took may have been redundant.

It would seem that there isn't one for Linux, but can't say I'm surprised.

I use simple-scan 3.30.1.1-1+b1 amd64 with my trusty ca.1995 Umax S-6E, which is still going strong.
Easy to use and can save scans/series of scans (as *.pdf or *.png) to anything I have available.
But besides cropping, that's about it.

And, quite obviously, my box is definitely required.

... interesting, GParted declares it to be FAT16, but fdisk says FAT32?

I think there's still some problem with your memory stick.
Can't really say what but it may well bring you problems when you least expect/need one.
Murphy and all that.

Like I mentioned before, you may want to back up whatever files are in the stick and nuke it.

In my experience, the best way to do it is with the command line to clear it completely and then format it.

Do sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=4096 .
It takes a while depending of drive size, just wait for it till the printout shows up.

--> Make sure you do this with the proper drive letter <--
There's no turning back from dd

To check the drive letter you can use lsblk, dmesg, gparted or all three, just in case.
You don't want to nuke your laptop drive.

Once this is done and unless there's a hardware issue such as a fake USB drive, it should be clear of whatever is going on and you can use gparted or the command line to format it again.

I'd use FAT32 as there's no advantage in using FAT16 unless you have a use case which requires filling it with +50% very small files.

FAT32 is understood by practically every modern device using USB and there's no 8.3 filename restriction.
ie: kingstonusb.txt ends up being kingst~1.txt.

I think it is an issue with this specific USB stick, not with your installation.
Maybe a geometry issue?
Invalid cluster numbers?

My on-board memory is a bit foggy ...  8^|

You may want to try running fsck.vfat -n /dev/sdc1 for a read-only check and post the result.
or
fsck.vfat -a /dev/sdc1 to check the file system and directly fix it.

Another possibility would be to just do a full reformat with gparted or disks to FAT16 or whatever you need.

Seems like read/write errors to a solid state drive, ACPI/BIOS errors and various firmware errors.

Is this a very new laptop?
Brand? Model?
Do you have the latest available BIOS installed?

I suggest you burn a live Devuan Beowulf *.iso to a USB stick, see how it boots from that and post the result of sudo dmesg | grep -i "error\|warning\|fail\|segfault\|fatal".

Let's see what that shows us.

Did you install the gentoo image as per the instructions on the page I linked to?

The boot disk in this CM-iGLX unit (ie: drive C:) is the on-board Flash Disk which holds the gentoo.img file.

I'd first check out these links from the OEM:

CM-iGLX Linux documentation
http://mediawiki.compulab.com/w/index.p … iGLX_Linux

CM-iGLX Linux documentation wrote:

This page contains links to information about Linux kernels, packages and software development for CM-iGLX modules.

- Getting started with Linux on CM-iGLX
- Gentoo Linux for CM-iGLX
- CM-iGLX Video Input Port

CM-iGLX Linux Gentoo kernel & filesystem image September 4, 2011
https://www.compulab.com/wp-content/upl … -linux.zip

You may want to check the documentation.
This is not an ordinary old pc, there are specific instructions for installing and booting with the image from the zip file.

When you have been able to get that done, have a look at the dmesg printout to see what hardware is being recognised and which drivers are being loaded.

That will give you an idea as to how to proceed with a Devuan kernel.

dmesg is a good place to start:

I'm not in a situation to argue for or against.

But to me it seems like an unwarranted excess on behalf of the Debian crew.

Just like having apparmor installed and enabled by default.
Or ignoring the fact that it is disabled in the kernel command line to reinstall and enable it again when upgrading the kernel.
But Poettering seems to be in charge, so I'm not at all surprised.

My point is that if you want to install apparmor, then do it installing all the needed dependencies/utilities with it.
No need to fill up the system with files I won't be using.

It's like going to the cinema with a bathing trunk under my trousers.

Sure.
I know well enough not to muck with stuff in /etc so I will let that be for the moment.

But it isn't so much that I'm bothered by them.
I'm bothered by the fact that they are quite obviously* apparmor files and not dbus files.
* /etc/apparmor/*, /etc/apparmor.d/*, /etc/apparmor/init/*

In my "non-expert/developer/programmer" opinion, they should not be there unless apparmor is actually installed and enabled.
ie: What do I need them there for? They got there because apparmor is installed and enabled by default.

How come they are not removed/purged when apparmor is removed?

apparmor and tomoyo should not be foisted onto your installation unless you actually want to install them.

I have the idea that something is not right here.
For whatever reason it reminds me of how MS wove IE into Windows 95 so as to make it almost inoperable if it was pulled out*.
* to be able to choose an alternate browser. 

Eventually MS were found out and exposed, but by then the damage was already done.

Hello:

Why is there a dbus dependency on libapparmor1?
I don't understand what is going on.

ascii w/backported kernel installation:

groucho@devuan:~$ aptitude why libapparmor1
i   slim Depends dbus                    
i A dbus Depends libapparmor1 (>= 2.8.94)

i   dbus-x11 Depends dbus                    
i A dbus     Depends libapparmor1 (>= 2.8.95)
groucho@dev-pihole:~$ 

chimaera VM:

root@chimaera:~# aptitude why libapparmor1

apparmor is not installed in any of these three Devuan machines.

See what I am referring to?

Then there's what happens when you add apparmor=0 to the kernel command line.
Only the ascii VM reports it as being disabled:

groucho@dev-pihole:~$ sudo dmesg | grep AppArmor
[    0.286356] AppArmor: AppArmor disabled by boot time parameter
groucho@dev-pihole:~$ 

The chimaera VM does not:

root@chimaera:~# dmesg | grep AppArmor
root@chimaera:~# 

Not does the ascii installation with the backported kernel:

groucho@devuan:~$ sudo dmesg | grep AppArmor
groucho@devuan:~$ 

I fail to see what an apparmor library has to do with dbus.
Or why the chimaera file system has acquired all these apparmor related files if it is not installed or has been purged.

Anyone know or have comments about this?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

A.

Found it.
It was me bitching about AppArmor earlier this year:

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=4329

Now I have to re-check and see if it is really true that security=none disables both tomoyo and AppArmor, making apparmor=0 unneccesary.

Hello:

Thanks for the link, I'll have a look later on.

Head_on_a_Stick wrote:

EDIT: the AppArmor lines in dmesg are from the kernel module.

My main system is this one and as you can see it is Devuan Beowulf with a backported kernel:

groucho@devuan:~$ uname -a
Linux devuan 5.10.0-0.bpo.3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.13-1~bpo10+1 (2021-02-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux
groucho@devuan:~$ 

AppArmor is not installed but like in the OP, libapparmor1 is there:

groucho@devuan:~$ apt list | grep installed | grep -i apparmor
--- snip ---
libapparmor1/oldstable,now 2.13.2-10 amd64 [installed]
groucho@devuan:~$ 

But with this kernel it does not make itself known via dmesg like with the Beowulf kernel.

groucho@devuan:~$ sudo dmesg | grep -i apparmor
groucho@devuan:~$ 

Makes me wonder why ...

Thanks for your input.

Best,

Hello:

I am in the process of building a (light as possible) Beowulf installation on a separate disk in my box.

root@devuan3:~# uname -a
Linux devuan3 4.19.0-18-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.208-1 (2021-09-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@devuan3:~# 

One of the things I do not want running is AppArmor.

I added the bit security=none to the kernel command line and purged it but I still get this in dmesg:

root@devuan3:~# dmesg | grep -i apparmor
[    0.328030] AppArmor: AppArmor initialized
[    0.569017] AppArmor: AppArmor Filesystem Enabled
[    1.257404] AppArmor: AppArmor sha1 policy hashing enabled
root@devuan3:~#

So I looked to see what was going on:

root@devuan3:~# apt list | grep -i installed | grep -i apparmor
--- snip ---
libapparmor1/oldstable,now 2.13.2-10 amd64 [installed,automatic]
root@devuan3:~# 

AppArmor is not installed but it left behind its crap, which seems difficult to get rid of:

root@devuan3:~# apt purge libapparmor1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 dconf-service : Depends: default-dbus-session-bus but it is not installable or
                          dbus-session-bus
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
root@devuan3:~#

So what is causing this?

root@devuan3:~# aptitude why libapparmor1
i   dbus Depends libapparmor1 (>= 2.8.94)
root@devuan3:~# 

dbus is installed and up to date:

root@devuan3:~# apt install dbus

dbus is already the newest version (1.12.20-0+deb10u1+devuan1).

And dbus-session-bus can't be installed:

Note, selecting 'dbus-x11' instead of 'dbus-session-bus'

I have a faint memory of having come across this before but I cannot find it in the forum.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

I think we could consider (in some way) honouring the name.

I could not find a colour associated to Daedalus (the architect, father to Icarus), but there is a butterfly (found all over Africa), called Hamanumida daedalus [genus - species], which has a lovely green colour in its wings:

Been there and done that.
Quite a few times actually.

Assuming that because it was a [Sun/HP/IBM/Dell/Sony/whatever] unit, it could not be what I suspected from the start.
25+ years later, I know better.

Glad you got it worked out.  8^D

Yes, that did it.
Thank you very much.  8^)

Edit:
Only problem is that if you configure for line numbers, scraping the content (copy to paste) will do so with both the content and the line numbers.
I think (?) most editors behave in the same manner.

Hello:

Although I have yet to master it, jED is my favourite editor.
Must be my many years under the shadow of MS editors.  8^/

One issue I solved long ago was the line numbering which (for some strange reason) is not set up by default.
Or an option to be quickly configured in a drop down menu.

You just generate a .jedrc file in your /home/user folder with this content:

LINENUMBERS = 2;

public define global_mode_hook (hook_name)
{
   
       set_line_number_mode (1);
}

See:  https://travelingfrontiers.wordpress.co … ed-editor/

The problem with this is that it is set up on a user basis and I'd like for this to be the default system-wide setting.

This came up while needing jED with line numbers while working on a VM without sudo.
I had to su or su - and line numbers were not available.

Any idea on how to get that done?

Thanks in advance,

A.

Yes, it seems to be the same one I cited in my post.
ie: Version 1.7.4+tb2-6+devuan2

But the questions you originally posed remain:

1. Is anyone actually using it?
2. What issues if any?
3. Is it secure?

Thanks for your input.

If I can avoid it, I'd really want to continue using both WiCD and SLiM.
I see the SLiM 1.3.6-5.2+devuan1 package is in the /merged  chimaera/main amd64

I run a netbook which is i386 (Asus 1000HE), is SLiM available for devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_i386?

I also see the WiCD 1.7.4+tb2-6+devuan2 package is in /merged  chimaera-proposed-updates/main amd64

Anyone using it reliably?

Thanks in advance.
