#101 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » fluxbox: no window decoration in firefox and thunderbird » 2023-01-07 12:02:28

mclien

I'm still digging, because I had some issues back with an upgrade already:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=4759&p=1
But my there implemented fix to add this into about:config of ff:
gfx.webrender.force-disabled = true
Is, a) not entirely removable, b)doesn't fix the problem when changing to "false"
I'll try you suggestion (and a new profile on ff)

I know this is mentioned elsewhere, but I fail to understand.

Best guess is, the solution is hidden (to me) somewhere here:
http://git.fluxbox.org/fluxbox.git/commit/?id=dcdde4d32c93d01df205bc06d7dfcbd356be031f

Do I understand this correctly, that I would have to compile my own fluxbox to get rid of it?

(I think @head_on_a_stick mentioned that in the debian forum)

EDIT:
I also can't get a focus on the firefox window, if any other window with decoration is on the same desktop.

I run chimaera on this machine and on a fresh install. My upgraded machine has the problem, the fresh install hasn't

Only difference I noticed so far is the not upgraded linux-image:

<upgraded machine>~# uname -a
Linux devuan 5.10.0-10-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.84-1 (2021-12-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
<fresh installed machine>~# uname -a
Linux devuan 5.10.0-20-686 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.158-2 (2022-12-13) i686 GNU/Linux

(ok, second one is an old i386, but that should make the difference?)

Thanks for that.
As first step (as I needed it really soon) I just configured the wlan0 and network interfaces as root.
But the version to use netdev groups is neat, I'll look into that.

There is a cli tool for searching the access point in the area, but can't remember the name atm. Might be nice to fins the free public access point.

Hello,

I used wicd in the past to connect to different WLAN (like at work, at the makerspace etc)
I seem to stupid to find the right way to use that from userspace.
Is network-manager the way to got? and if so, is there another frontend that doesen't require all the gnome "extra-weight"?
I'm using fluxbox.

EDIT:
Well on that machine I'm root anyway, so
/etc/network/interfaces
ifup and ifdown are my friends, I guess.

From here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=267158
I got this hint:

[..]but you might want to try this about:config tweak, worked for me for Fluxbox:

- Check that gfx.webrender.all is set to false (it was already set to false here).
- Toggle gfx.webrender.force-disabled from false to true.

Worked for me.

#107 Re: Installation » chimaera update firefox broken/ linux-image not updated » 2022-01-02 21:47:34

Perhaps, but that wasn't the esr and a somewhat higher Version number.
I think it is just something missing to work with the window manager.

BTW: There is no upload integrated in DG, right? So upload elsewhere and link hiere?

OK, I confess:
You now totally lost me.

Anything I can do solve the problem ?
Or is this even a problem? (the ff is, but I mean the "empty chimaera -updates")

#109 Re: Installation » chimaera update firefox broken/ linux-image not updated » 2022-01-01 11:35:23

Yes (as in: I ran it again just now, so I'm not sure, if it was there before. I did a reboot inbetween)

apt update
Hit:1 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera InRelease
Hit:2 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-updates InRelease
Hit:3 http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-security InRelease

And yes FF still broken in the fluxbox windows. (But maybe this is the last push to change to PaleMoon as default browser...But FF might be still necessary on some occasions)

I did the 

apt update && apt full-upgrade

now. (No idea how I missed that in my Beowulf - Chimaera update.)
But..

     release a=now

Do I miss something? The order of the "brands"(is that the right word?) is not important or is it?
Like these 2 line do the same?:

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

at least I can spot no (other) typo in my sources.list

The linux-image is updated after that, though.

I just did an routinely update of my chimaera installation.
(running fluxbox).

Firefox (91.4.1esr) is now missing the window frame, so it can't be moved nor resized. Additionally any popup window like the "about-version" will stay on top and won't be closable.   Any fix for that?
(I'm open for any browser alternative now, too, since that is kinda one annoyance too much)

Also linux-image-amd64 is marked as "kept back"  after the update (and reboot) as the only package.

OK, first apologies for not reading my logs properly (I usually do that and understand it, might wise to not do those things with a migraine head...).
If happen to come to germay (once you are allowed anyways), barbecue is on me.

And thanks, you where totally right. Group "dialout" it is, which confused me a bit first, till I remembered what the tty serial was firstly used for... *sound of the modem in my head*

I'm trying to get my devuan notebook to connect to may Lasercutter.
Software that came with the cutter is Lightburn and I can transfer files by using a thumb drive (copy the *.rd file onto it and the plug the drive into the cutter). But there is an interface to connect the cutter directly to USB (similar to a printer)
I have already installed pmount, so users are able to mount usb devices. The connection to the cutter is shown in the logs:

Sep 14 19:02:16 devuan kernel: [  526.280262] usb 3-1: new full-speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd

Sep 14 19:02:17 devuan kernel: [  526.504635] usb 3-1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0

So next step is installing "usbmodeswitch" to get usbserial?

yes. Thanks.
I normaly don't use this much, but now I have to set up a machine, which serves as the operating terminal for my lasercutter, which will be used by others, too.

So next step is automounting USB thumb drives.

well. I thought I found my solution, but no "usbpmout" in the repos (I assumed a typo, but no usbmount either).

Notebook of my son (tuxedo)

We can manually start it from grub, but something is off.

set prefix=(hd0,gpt4)
set root=(hd0,gpt4)
insmod linux
insmod normal
normal

what bothers me is this:

~# lsblk

We havn't done that delibrate, but the sd4 and sda1 having a /boot part seems off.

It is running beowulf, freshly updated.

Any hints where to start fixing?

As I'm about to do more 3D CAD and stuff, I' (finally) try to use a "Spacemouse".

There is free software for that:
http://spacenav.sourceforge.net/
And it was in the repos till debian 9 and is again in 11. Here is the reason:
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1021360 … m-testing/

So my question: Is there any way that this will be in beowulf backports some time. I myself sadly have next to no knowledge in packaging and alike.

The BIOS on my specific machine has no BIOS setting
Config → Display → Graphics Device
hence no "discrete"
I think I should look into the Bumblebee stuff.

Is there a good way to find out, if this Notebook actually has a Nvidia Optimus feature?

Somehow I still miss, if donations for devuan are non-profit donations, which are accountable as costs inside a company.
But since donations go to a non-proft organisation (dyne.org), it should be possible to get the according receipt?

For me that is a Yes.
Needed the hint to release notes, but that's because I generally do my installs like this:
Install a minimal system and than all the things I want. Which for me is Fluxbox as WM, which needs the adjustment to pulseaudio mentioned in the release notes.

1. thanks for the hint
2. sadly this menu point is missing in my Thinkpad (T460p)

But I start to kinda like the idea of using the nvidia card only when necessary (power consumption wise)

(First I need to get a working docking station, which is a pain because there are docks with DP and DVI, which are mutually exclusive. In whatever universe that should make sense)
