Just some cosmetic adjustments on Conky. Hardly to do anything surprising with a WM like CWM except to stay tight and simple smile

Is that still tint2?

Thanks smile

It's only conky-std, i'm using it as a panel to have mouse menu(s) features of cwm.

-Left click to conky it showing all open windows><
-Right click show application>< menu like openbox menu
-Midle click to show group><

Tint2 works somewhat okay to say (on cwm), but to me it is not an ideal couple as with openbox.

@fsmithred thanks for your tips, I did not know about borta.devuan.dev that page looks so helpful bookmarked!

Currently "deb.devuan.org" is goin fine, just did the next update on testing. I will consider waiting a little longer also by monitoring apt-panopticon link.

Thanks again.

This is SOLVED!

Hello! For two months i haven't any issues with "deb.devuan.org" on my sourcelist.

Yesterday i noticed an anomaly that it fixed itself but, This morning it appeared again.

I only have a single line because i'm on testing. This line worked very well for two months and a half, Managed to stay on testing without concerns, as i said just yesterday i noted first repo error. As i look at it, alternative mirror lines it is suggested, so i ended up here
http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt

I haven't made any changes yet, what do you advise for this case? just to wait to settle itself or to change the list from one of the mirrors?

P.S. I took promptly a look at the forum search, but did not find any similar current (testing-repo) concerns.

Thanks for any advice

That's sounds good. Thank you for sharing Vernon, I haven't done anything like this before despite the fact that i have used VLC for years locally just for playing audio, video or streaming generally. Somewhere where I have installed VLC I will look to work with it.

I have smart tv and exactly Samsung, I am reading it with interest and after have finished working with things i have in hand will check it up.

Regards!

P.S. have installed linux-image-amd64 and currently primary kernel is 5.7.0-2-amd64 and 4.19 secondary.
Also got first testing updates just this morning.

This thread is solved for all my requests.

Devuan team have done an extraordinary job that have produced stability even on testing.

Thanks to all!

VLC has a great user interface, plays just about anything, and supports native UPnP streaming so VLC can play music and videos directly from Kodi or minidlna.

Hi, VLC it is very good, i use on other hardware somewhere else, but on the current obsoletes i'm running it is very limited. The GUI will make it harder for it. So mpv its better because it's light and faster. KODI no and no due to its high weight.

Beowulf is the past now for me, chimaera/testing is the current up to the next stable.

Thanks anyway

It's OK Hoas, i have passed on testing now, so i got rid python2. Still it's good to have the right command, i'm saving it to use other time if needed.

Best Regards!

#116 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] mpv (0.29.1-1) dependent on python 2.7 » 2020-08-20 15:03:50

If first line "chimaera main" gets apps/packages updates without security i'm ok to give a try until the transition to the next stable is made. So, i leave with only the single line to not mix the versions, also i should read more about testing.

Despite the fact that I have used testing before, 5 years have passed since then i almost forgot everything while staying long in the stable.
I may call this topic finally completed/solved.

Thanks once again for everything.

Edit hey HevyDevy, thanks for your input aswell bro, I will read carefully all the recommendations.
I have made backups in case i do stupidity. I will try to read more, today I got a little euphoric as it went great passing to testing.

Thanks larsH & fsmithred
I Haven't installed linux-image-amd64 so this was the reason for not updating automatically the kernel. Good to know.

✓ nili@ ~ $ apt-cache policy linux-image-amd64
linux-image-amd64:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 5.7.10-1
  Version table:
     5.7.10-1 500
        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera/main amd64 Packages

For the moment i will let it with stable kernel until i have to adjust some personal settings, days later i will give a try installing kernel 5.7.10-1 manually.

You already have the only line for chimaera in your sources.list. There won't be any -updates or -security repos until after chimaera goes stable (or maybe after bullseye goes stable).

Thanks for clarification of this part, I'm interested in getting update of course, I can not leave without any update until the next version.

So adding another line should fix it?

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-updates main non-free contrib

Regarding Security i want them aswell, but i'm afraid of mixing repos stable/testing because of conflicts later.
Any extra advice on the most appropriate testing list would be highly advisable.

I want testing with updates
If it is possible testing with updates + security i want them aswell.

Thanks so much all for your suggestions

#118 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] mpv (0.29.1-1) dependent on python 2.7 » 2020-08-20 13:49:39

I went to Testing repo with a single line

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main non-free contrib

Everything went bloody wonderfully within 10min from stable to testing. So, i installed mpv (0.32.0-2+b1) with python3.8 dependent.
No more python 2.7 around.

The only concern that bother me now, it has nothing to do with this topic, but since we're almost closed here i'm asking.
It's about the Kernel version.
50247298578_156ebcd0ce.jpg

The only package that hasn't been upgraded is the kernel? Maybe because i left only one repo to the sources.list?
I used only a repo long ago so i did it again. It's ok to have stable kernel on testing repo? i have nothing issues with this kernel. I am satisfied even if it stays and if nothing wrong.

P.S i even boot it to 50MB > 70MB Openbox+Tint2+URxvt smile Obsoletes are always fun.

Thank you!

#119 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] mpv (0.29.1-1) dependent on python 2.7 » 2020-08-20 10:03:31

@larsH, Thank you for your answer.

I will consider passing to the testing repo. Have been used testing before on #!.
Perhaps it's a good chance to try it again. First i will prepare a few things and i am giving a way to testing.

@Hoas, Ouch! i thought Debian have killed it for good python2.7. EOL so kaput! I have replaced some apps depending on python2.7 i was left alone only to mpv.

Well, i installed tried what you advised. I can not find where the dependency it is smile I see no python2 in the list, or who is the dependency factor. Please understood my lack of information. First time i use these tools, maybe i will need them in testing, i had years with stable repo as i did not have much time for testing rehearsals.

Here are the results.
mpv.dot
mpv.svg

Anyway, i'm doing a repo testing lap to fall short the road. It would be better to have SID, but I do not have too much time for it.

Hello guys! I'm not sure if i should address this request here or on the Debian forum, but just installed Devuan 3 (stable) recently minimal NETINST and notice that package MPV video player is dependent on python 2.7 during the installation, meanwhile we know that support for this package is over.

But infact i don't want python2.7 to be installed at all. Nor i want youtube-dl to be downloaded automatically by apt, as always i did it manually by official-download

From Debian mpv other Packages Related to mpv i do not see any python listed, therefore I do not understand where this need for it comes from?
As well Devuan packages mpv shows no python on the list.

I doubt the dependence on the python it is under the pretext that it is necessary for "youtube-dl"? or accidental dependence? and therefore seeks to install it?

Strangely when i do apt-cache show mpv i not see mpv to have dependent on python.
