#101 Re: Other Issues » Real.video/yandex/not supported in this browser? » 2018-08-19 19:49:10
By the time I saw your previous thread about real.video, it was solved. I had the same problem, same errors, and solved it. I don't know what you did, then, to fix it, but here's what I did. Maybe it'll help?
After finding nothing recent or relevant from searching, I renamed the browser's dot directory in /home to dot old. Using the newly created default settings, and without any plugins or extensions, I got sound and video at the real.video site. That told me the problem was local.
I deleted the newly created default directory and went back to the original. I figured NoScript was the culprit and found the same as fsmithred... a ton of sites all wanting to 'help' me watch a video. By trial/error I eventually found the 2 or 3 sites I needed to allow so the videos would work. My security settings caused the real.video problem.
I went to yandex and their videos showed mostly from youtube, with some from dailymotion. The problem was XSS... cross site scripting is required. As a test, I disabled NoScript and the videos worked. A suggestion... go to hooktube (or youtube) and search 'yandex' for their videos.
FWIW, I'm using Pale Moon.

Yes, I did misunderstand what you were after. If I had an answer I'd post it, but I don't. Good luck.

Just got mine two weeks ago, also a 3B+. The 'no boot' has happened twice for me... once when I didn't seat the micro SD properly, and the other time I needed to re-flash the img file to the micro SD with Etcher to get it to boot. If that hadn't worked I'd have downloaded another img file and tried again.

Thank you for the work you're doing, msi!
I'd like to suggest adding a based-on comment.
My guess is that most users trying a new-to-them distro are current Linux users having some level familiarity and personal preference; as opposed to someone completely new to Linux. I've found it easier to choose when I know a distro's origins... without having to hunt for it.

Excellent news!
Congratulations and thank you!

Have you thought about using captcha - http://captcha.net/
Was thinking of suggesting the same, but when searching the Past Month I found a lot of stuff like this: robot beats 'I am not a robot.'

Appreciate the welcome, golinux. I agree, it's likely happy Devuan users.
The troubling thing to me, sgage, is how so many seemingly independent distros agreed to systemd. I understand the based-on distros with few devs. But the rest of them agreeing in such a short period of time? Seemed like dominos. I don't understand what would draw them away from their independence to integrate (in hindsight) a half-baked init system.
I also re aquainted myself with OpenBSD, just in case.
DragonflyBSD seemed right for me... just in case.

It's really good to see this forum. Seems to me a distro's forum, unofficial or not, is the single most important point of contact to facilitate good communication among its users. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I don't think trying to reinvent the forum wheel is a viable way to attract new users and create an active community. I'd like to see Devuan (and distros like it) succeed, as there's no better way to say 'No thanks' to systemd. To those responsible for this site, Thank You.
Seeing how systemd came to be included in Debian, and in almost every popular and based-on distro so quickly, was sad to watch. The upgrade to Jessie didn't affect me at first as my desktop is Fluxbox/Rox-filer with a console login. However, that soon changed. For example, DE-independent transmission-gtk needed about 15MB to install on my setup in Wheezy. A Jessie update needed about 100MB, adding GTK3, Adwaita icons, gconf2, glib-networking, desktop-schemas and more. Didn't like Gnome pushing its way into the OS, even without systemd as init.
I tried a number of distros from the list on Without Systemd as I followed Devuan's development. I liked several, but whether familiarity or wanting to see Devuan do well, I waited for the iso. Tried the iso in VBox for a while, then installed the base OS to the HD last summer. It's been my default since then and haven't had a single problem. 
FWIW, I don't often post but I do like to read. I discovered when composing a post with a good explanation of the problem, the relevant log output and search results I've tried, proofreading before posting often suggests stuff I hadn't yet thought of or a different direction to take. It usually helps me fix the problem.
With Debian as my default since Etch, I switched to Devuan for the same reason it was developed. I'm grateful, and to those who created and maintain it, Thank You!
