#1401 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Wicd in Chimaera (It's not, but...) » 2021-08-23 11:07:17
Is it wise to use wicd now that Python2 is obsolete? https://packages.debian.org/experimental/python3-wicd might be a better idea even if it's from experimental.
#1402 Re: ARM Builds » DHCP client problems after upgrade to Chimaera » 2021-08-23 11:05:27
Have you tried removing the IPv6 configuration? Do you need IPv6?
Do static addresses work? My old router used to "run out" of DHCP slots so perhaps check that as well.
#1403 Re: Other Issues » Missing LSB tags under Chimaera » 2021-08-19 05:37:33
The error message is from insserv(8) so I think it's referring to a script in /etc/init.d/ (called "cgroups"). Do you have such a script and if so does it contain the LSB headers? See the first code block on this page for an example.
And note that your changes to /etc/os-release will be overwritten if the base-files package is updated. EDIT: actually APT might ask a confusing question about it instead. That's always fun when you're in a hurry...

I guess next step would be to try on Debian live?
Yes. The new bullseye images should be available now.

See my "SharpBang" menuentry here:
https://github.com/Head-on-a-Stick/conf … rub.cfg#L7
The loopback line & fromis= statement declare the full path to the location of the ISO image.
EDIT: hd1,gpt3 in the loopback line translates to /dev/sdb3 (or /dev/nvme0n2p3 in my case).

$The firmware is already installed and loaded onto the card, as indicated in the last line of your posted output.

#1409 Re: Installation » Is it possible to use pipewire in devuan 4? » 2021-08-08 21:05:14
Alpine uses a file at /etc/xdg/autostart/ to run PipeWire automatically for most desktops:
https://git.alpinelinux.org/aports/tree … re.desktop
the main developer is the same who invented the pulseaudio crap
No, the PipeWire creator & main developer is Win Taymans. EDIT: although they do work for Red Hat :-)

#1411 Re: Installation » My chimaera install issues #2: Can't abort LXQt WM choice » 2021-08-01 09:07:31
... that is, if you get that window at all. If a default WM were to be chosen, it would be a different matter.
I'm pretty sure that dialogue is only displayed because you had more than one compatible window manager installed. If you had just selected LXQt alone then only one window manager would have been installed so you probably wouldn't have seen the question. Feel free to confirm or deny this empirically :-)
EDIT: at any rate there isn't anything Devuan can do about this quirk of the LXQt login system (IMO).
#1412 Re: Documentation » root-Terminal under Beowulf with Mate desktop » 2021-08-01 09:00:28
There's no need to run the entire terminal emulator as root — only the shell itself needs elevated privileges. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle … _privilege
So perhaps try this file at /usr/local/share/applications/root-terminal.desktop instead:
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Root Terminal
Comment=Run terminal emulator as root
Type=Application
Exec=x-terminal-emulator -e sudo -i
Categories=System;TerminalEmulator;^ That example calls the x-terminal-emulator alternative as your normal user and runs a root shell in it. No need for pkexec at all

#1415 Re: Installation » My chimaera install issues #2: Can't abort LXQt WM choice » 2021-07-30 20:13:48
Are you sure that the "culprit" here is lxqt upstream?
Not sure, no, but if there is a problem with the initial login to the desktop then that sounds like an upstream bug rather than a packaging bug. Devuan chimaera is still close enough to the bleeding edge for upstream bug reports to be appropriate.
More specifically, are you saying that I shouldn't even reportbug against the lxqt package?
That's just a metapackage.
#1416 Re: Installation » My chimaera install issues #2: Can't abort LXQt WM choice » 2021-07-30 20:02:22
The issue here is that if somehow the window manager selection dialog has been opened, you can't abort/cancel, that's all.
My apologies, I should have read your OP more carefully. Have you raised this issue with the LXQt developers? I don't think Devuan can do much about that sort of thing.
#1417 Re: Installation » My chimaera install issues #2: Can't abort LXQt WM choice » 2021-07-30 19:54:26
The default window manager for LXQt is openbox. If you want something else then my link explains how to change that.
#1418 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] New kernel adoption policy in Debian » 2021-07-30 17:49:28
Debian bullseye is frozen now so it will be on the 5.10 LTS branch until it goes EOL in 5 years time. This also applies to Devuan chimaera.
Once Debian 11 is released testing/unstable will continue to track the mainline kernel (testing usually delayed by 10-14 days) until the next freeze.

#1420 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » how do I set the default directory to / when I use su? » 2021-07-30 17:20:10
Or add this line to /root/.profile:
cd /But you would have to call su - to ensure that the file is read.
#1421 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Browsers and the demise of Adobe Flash Player » 2021-07-21 17:10:38
Both of the linked sites work fine for me. The cartoons need javascript to be displayed properly but my beloved Guardian still works even without that.
EDIT: I don't have Flash Player installed. Obviously. Using the firefox-esr package from Debian bullseye (Wayland enabled).
#1422 Re: Installation » It's not just Wondows: apparently we have a problem » 2021-07-21 17:04:28
It's a local vulnerability so unlikely to trouble most desktop users. But it is exploitable in Debian 11 (and hence Devuan chimaera) because user namespaces have been enabled by default:
https://www.debian.org/releases/bullsey … namespaces
Bad decision...

Hmm. How about https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p1684912? A bit of a stab in the dark but a possibility if you've installed GNOME on top of Xfce.
