dont use google chromium, sorry couldnt resist.

Might be something to do with gnome-keyring maybe?

How do you clear the usb stick before you dd the iso?

Try below and see if works.

sudo wipefs --all /dev/sdX

sudo gdisk /dev/sdX

choose option X for expert menu then Z to Zap

There is more to be done which i have just found out, seems xserver-xorg-video-intel package provides the free as in freedom i915 driver but you can go further and enable non-free drivers if you like from package firmware-misc-nonfree in either stable or backports.

This is how i did it if you are interested, but you must download  firmware-misc-nonfree and install the firmware first...

create the file /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf

add to it

options i915 enable_fbc=1 enable_guc=3

then do commands below

sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo update-grub

then reboot

check to see if i915 non-free (DRM) is loaded by doing below command

sudo dmesg | grep -iE "huc|guc|dmc"

source: https://gist.github.com/Brainiarc7/aa43 … dd835efe57

This is what should be shown more or less from the dmesg...

I installed firmware-misc-nonfree from backports.

Im actually getting better screen picture now, i was getting ghosting a bit but it seems to have gone!

You would need to install it once you have a bootable system with sysvinit or openrc thus replacing the init.

see here: http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3628

its under non-free firmware, did you install from non-free or disable it somehow.

The NUC 6CAYB needs Intel "Broxton" GuC firmware as mentioned in below link.

https://packages.debian.org/buster/firm … sc-nonfree

But im pretty sure this should be automatically installed unless you chose not to install non-free firmware.

Thats odd, that command should display something, mine displays what graphics hardware is used and the kernel driver and module in use which should be i915. Do what rolfie suggests and install the 5x kernel in backports, might fix the issue, might not?

by black screen is it completely black or is there text on screen as well like a kernel crash?

I have the same nuc as you except for less ram.  It might be something to do with the graphics or possibly a kernel parameter in use, have you added in any kernel parameters in /etc/sysctl.conf or in /etc/default/grub ?

What does below command say?

lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'

Pretty good review too, brings up some minor details like runit and the installer but overall pretty decent.

Edit: interesting tidbit Jessie brought up in regards to the difference in the live installation and the install media, apparently the live installer which is refracta-installer gains 20% percent more resource usage over the devuan/debian installer? Perhaps refracta is picking up more resources than it needs to in some instances?

Yeah i think i will Hoas.

Tint2 is usable with yaxwm but the taskbar needs some work to get it to play nice, not very suited though but something could be hacked together using executors for sure, just not how im doing it probably lol!

Cheers

Thanks Marjorie, i might have to see how some desktop environments do it.

thanks ralph but im interested in someway to list inactive desktops that are being used but hidden from view, similar to how dwm status bar shows all workspaces 1 - 9 but shows you inactive workspaces being used.

I believe wmctrl -l will just list active workspaces but not what workspace number is being used

So right now i have open workspace 1,2 and 9. 1 and 2 have the x-terminal-emulator open and 9 has firefox open.

0x00c00006  0 hostname st
0x00e00006  0 hostname st
0x01200003  0 hostname desktop / workspaces / Off-topic / Dev1 Galaxy Forum - Mozilla Firefox

it would be nice if wmctrl listed the inactive workspace numbers in above output.

Anyhow just curious and the more i think about what i want to achieve with tint2 the more i dont think it is possible. But ill show what ive done so far soon.

Edit: it also might be the window manager im using not having valid/compliant properties.

im from the future
