I came to this observation because calling eom (eye of mate) from thunderbird does not function any more since latest thunderbird 78.14.0

before I could open graphic views from thunderbird for svg.
From desktop and/or command line eom works as expected.

I had a setting to display a graphics which I receive everyday, an overview of the activities of a server the day before.

Opening thunderbird though the mate desktop and clicking on a picture attachment starts an eom process

ps ax | grep ' eom'
14500 ?        Sl     0:02 eom /tmp/mozilla_$USER/sar07_xxxxxxxxxx.svg

The process starts, the picture exists, but eom does not show a window.
eom survives the end of thunderbird process, so it is detached.

Opening thunderbird though a command line in a mate terminal and then doing the same ,
clicking on an attached graphics, starts an eom process, the window appears and it is empty.

Clicking Next/ Previous then displays the graphic files in the /tmp/mozilla DIR., also svg

Opening png with eom works from thunderbird
opening pdf with atril works from thunderbird.
It seems, there is room for improvement.
The problem seems to be svg related.

Thanks
I can/could 'iasl -c' a new DSDT , but once the kernel had a way to incorporate that in the boot , but it was lost after kernel 2.6
Best would be to have that integrated in the initramfs build.
Chances are nothing to have that in the BIOS EEPROM.

seems I have to do more with newer kernel versions,
I like to have these fixed for this hardware and if possible within the operation of new kernel updates.

I tried to follow
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3904
Having a problem debugging linphone, because no microphone sound,
according this
https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/linphone/
Linphone 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 ist ein SIP-basiertes, videofähiges Internet-Telefon mit einer GTK+-Oberfläche, das die Soundarchitektur ALSA nutzt.

I discovered that linphone uses pulse libraries same as mate-setting and mate-volume and firefox-esr and chromium

long story short result : trying to remove these libraries breaks task-mate-desktop, Docs below

a) what are the consequences of having these package in the system but not pulseaudio server ?
b) How can I avoid that progs such as linphone , firefox, chromium search to attach to a pulseaudio subsystem and use only alsa?
c) or is some configuration possible to hide the pulse libraries
d) is it a bug or "it is a bug!" ?

I still have package libpulse0 in my system.
I still have package libpulse-mainloop-glib0 in my system.

apt-file search libpulsecommon
libpulse0: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pulseaudio/libpulsecommon-14.2.so

aptitude remove libpulse0

Hi
I try to compile my own (hopefully slimmer) kernel now, but I miss the point . At
make menuconfig / oldconfig / localoldconfig / xconfig. 146 options are shown from tab completion, but these are not.
which packages provide these make targets ?
I need to reduce kernel size and weed unneeded out.

Hi
If you dont get a login Prompt, check your /etc/inittab
look at these lines

...
# The default runlevel.
id:2:initdefault:
....
# Format:
#  <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process>
#
# Note that on most Debian systems tty7 is used by the X Window System,
# so if you want to add more getty's go ahead but skip tty7 if you run X.
#
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6

the 6 lines shall not be commented out.

in Runlevels 4 5 you have only one text console !

b) avoid the graphical login
edit /etc/init.d/slim (i have lightdm so I show you what I did)
do with your editor
vi /etc/init.d/lightdm
shift the "2" from line Default-Start to the line Default-Stop
result must look like this

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:          lightdm
# Should-Start:      console-screen kbd acpid dbus hal consolekit
# Required-Start:    $local_fs $remote_fs x11-common
# Required-Stop:     $local_fs $remote_fs
# Default-Start:     3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 2 6
# Short-Description: Light Display Manager
# Description:       Debian init script for the Light Display Manager
### END INIT INFO

now do

update-rc.d lightdm remove
update-rc.d lightdm defaults

should apply similarly to slim
worked on my desktops

do

init 3

to start your graphical login

HI

I have a devuan beowulf installation.
I use aptitude after 1st install as my bread and butter tool for system maintenance. aptitude 0.8.11-7, same aptitude-common 0.8.11-7

in the section preferences there is written
URL to use to download metadata
http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs

That means meta data of devuan packages will not be downloaded through this channel.
As there is a changelog inside the package, is there a case where a package has the changelog not inside?
a) If no : SOLVED, but then the setting is not important and may be deleted, minor bug,
b) if yes: major bug against devuan aptitude package

there is no information in man 8 aptitude nor in aptitude-doc-en, where this can be modified.
please advise.
setting possible maybe in $HOME/.aptitude/config?

best regards

I remember programming locomotive controls with a 8086 back in 1986. The system had 16kbyte SRAM with an option for a 2nd 16kByte. So I put the second SRAM into the socket. Powered up, loaded the program. run it. Writing value<>0 to the second RAM resulted in all being 0 or false. Damn. Checking the program. Reading the address contents again and again. Eventually RTFM again. 2nd RAM needs a jumper next to it. Put the jumper. Works.

Clue : If you use beer everything will be false.

2nd Clue : The keyboard will become sticky with a Weizen inside. tried that too.
