#101 Re: Installation » Devuan 5 not Booting on 2005 Toshiba Tecra A7 Intel Centrino Duo » 2024-12-29 04:54:55
You have solved the mystery, it got updated at just past 3:06PM Dec. 27 2024 by synaptic when it installed the new base-files:i386 package.

What would have caused the other 2 Notes to no longer be displayed?
It is only or should only be displayed when the base-files package is updated and the information in the os-release file changes.

Check to make sure you have the libgtk3-nocsd0 package installed that is the package that contains that file.

#104 Re: Installation » Epson Printer Driver (PC Fax) - systemctl not found? » 2024-12-28 01:18:39
but on ubuntu have received fax (via webservice), it was bit strange noises
obviously never used a phone modem to connect to the internet. Those strange noises are the handshake as it is called when the machines negotiate the connection. A common sound heard in the old days before ethernet became the connection of choice and you had no choice but to use the telephone modem to connect. And got to connect at a whopping speed of ~4k/s for the fastest of them modems. See if one of them services have a test number to send to and of course get them to send another to confirm you can receive. If receiving then you can send.

PC-FAX (old version)
does install and need no "systemctl"
but could be that in future version this solution no longer works since cups is giving some message that in future CUPS some feature may be disabled or similar.
It is definitely possible they disable the feature you rely on, it would not be the first time they have done things like that. So looking at that, did it work with installing the old package?

/opt/epson/epson-pc-fax2/
I highly doubt that fax directory is in the path so will never be found.
zeus@9600k:~$ echo $PATH
/sbin:/home/zeus/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
root@9600k:~# echo $PATH
/root/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/binTry.
ln -s /opt/epson/epson-pc-fax2 /usr/local/bin/epson-pc-fax2To link it to a directory that should be in the path. I think I have the link command correct, I have to look it up most times, if not try it the other way round.
Edit: can you link to the download page you got the file from so I can look at it, I do not seem to be able to find it.

I used to love lilo very much
Indeed me too but we needed to yet again chase the new shinny, a wide spread disease in Linux, get something working great then they have to blow it all up and start with the latest fad yet again. I do not know how many times I have seen it happen in these few decades of using it, to numerous to list really.
#108 Re: Installation » Epson Printer Driver (PC Fax) - systemctl not found? » 2024-12-27 16:04:20
Damn looks like you either need to edit the package or give up on the fax in it. I would think there is not a lot times you need a fax machine.
Edit: Another option is just extract the package and manually move the files to where they would normally be installed. I would think the systemctl is just restarting the CUPS daemon for it to find the new .ppd file(s) is should probably be installing, plus maybe a binary for the fax function.
#109 Re: ARM Builds » refractasnapshot-base syslinux arm64 » 2024-12-27 12:49:55
Does a Debian arm64 installer iso boot syslinux?
From playing around with my Pi4 they use uboot I believe it is as they have all the files required to boot in the /boot directory with the device tree overlays (.dtb files) that are used. They do not boot the same way as other machines. Now I mount the drive for it they are in the / of the drive.

BIOS to specify what type of time was being set in the BIOS when what he was saying was to use the UTC time for my Region and Location to set the time in the BIOS. big_smile
Yes as has been pointed out you set the time in the BIOS/UEFI to the offset from UTC for your time zone. For instance in mine it is set to 4 hours less than UTC as my offset is -4 this makes everything work properly when the systems use UTC as most all *nix systems use it, like Linux, the BSDs & MacOS. Only Windows usually defaults to using local time as the multitude of postings of "why does my clock change when dual booting" can attest to.

Give the replacement package for it a try, it does not get installed by default. Either that or download the package extract it then make the edit to not call systemctl after that using the dpkg-repack to get new package to install.
zeus@9600k:~$ apt info systemctl
Package: systemctl
Version: 1.4.4181-1.1
Priority: optional

Description: daemonless "systemctl" command to manage services without systemd
"systemctl" is a replacement command to control system daemons without
systemd. "systemctl" is useful in application containers where systemd is
not available to start/stop services.
.
This script can also be run as init of an application container (i.e. the
main "CMD" on PID 1) where it will automatically bring up all enabled
services in the "multi-user.target" and where it will reap all zombies
from background processes in the container. When stopping such a container
it will also bring down all configured services correctly before exit.#112 Re: Installation » Devuan 5 not Booting on 2005 Toshiba Tecra A7 Intel Centrino Duo » 2024-12-27 05:30:05
When I reload Synaptic, I get the following message at the end:
That is not what is needed, we need to see the contents of the /etc/apt/sources.list file to confirm the correct lines in there.
# normal devuan sources
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main contrib non-free non-free-firmwareYou should see a line similar to what I have above listed for the main updates, then the daedalus-updates & daedalus-security on their own lines in the file too.

What is the correct way to fix this?
Set the BIOS time to UTC or change the /etc/adjtime to say LOCAL instead of the UTC time it is now set too.

Edit#3: sleuthing around the internet today, I guess I should have used su - to get the correct path.
From my install notes when I seen this come through.
SU changes not noticed here but may be in future so may as well set it up.
Changes in su
- The behavior of su has changed. Use 'su -' to get root's path or use
the full path to commands if you use only 'su'.
- There are several ways to get the old behavior. The easiest is to
edit /etc/default/su to add the line:
ALWAYS_SET_PATH yes
root@9600k:~# cat /etc/default/su
cat: /etc/default/su: No such file or directory
root@9600k:~# nano /etc/default/su
root@9600k:~# cat /etc/default/su
# Added to always have the PATH set for su.
ALWAYS_SET_PATH yesYou might want to create that file on your installs and install the lovely little program apt-listchanges which tells you thing like this when updating your packages..

A necro post to say thanks for the solution to getting even more of that scumbags code off my machine. Did not know I was even running it until I saw pulseaudio getting updated. Search and found this page with one of the easiest solutions I have ever done I do believe. Create an .xsessionrc with the contents from above the first one with the sleep 1 posting in it, install the pipewire-audio that removes the pulseaudio package then reboot to have working audio on the pipewire server. Perfect thanks again.

Well just chain them together like any other commands you can do.
