Gives me information of what's installed from the apt repertoire?
I find why and why-not quite enlightening.

if you want to see what is on your system use dpkg

OK.

groucho@devuan:~$ dpkg -l | grep -i consolekit
rc  consolekit                             1.2.1-8                             amd64        framework for defining and tracking users, sessions and seats

Had an idle half hour while waiting for something, like we are all doing these days.
Upgrade worked, without issues.  =^D

Then I checked to see:

groucho@devuan:~$ apt list | grep -i installed | grep consolekit

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

groucho@devuan:~$

OK, consolekit is no longer installed.

I went further and found this:

groucho@devuan:~$ apt list | grep -i consolekit

And ...

groucho@devuan:~$ aptitude why-not libpam-elogind

The often unread Release Notes for Beowulf say:

Both slim and lightdm will work with either libpam-elogind or consolekit.
Slim is the default login manager for Xfce. Lightdm is the default for
the other desktops.

If No dependencies require to remove libpolkit-qt5-1-1 it may be worthwhile leaving things as they are for the time being.
It could be that the libpolkit-backend-consolekit-1-0 conflict with libpam-elogind eventually gets sorted out. (?)

Makes sense?

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libpolkit-qt5-1-1 : Depends: libpam-systemd

So then I tried to see if I could install the missing dependency:

Is consolekit no longer used?

I'm having more problems with video feeds in Pale Moon 29.0.1 (64-bit).

I had been putting off upgrading from ASCII to Beowulf for the longest while.
The thought/possibilty of WINE/PMail/IrfanView or X acting up really put me off.

But then I saw Perseverance land on Mars (safely) and said to myself: iof NASA can do that, I can upgrade to Beowulf.

So ...

About maybe an hour or so later, here I am.

A few configurations did not make it eg: custom terminal colours and window styles, but I'll manage.
Unfortunately, my VirtualBox installation went south.  8^-7
But that's for another thread.

With respect to Palemoon and the video feed problems: the one at the WP is fixed. It seems I can see it without problems.
But a couple of the movie sites I frequent still do not work.

It's still the same version 29.0.1 (64-bit) so it was not (?) a Pale Moon thing.
No idea what is missing.
Maybe some codec?

Just thought I'd send a heads up.

Hello:

I'd appreciate suggestions for a web radio streaming package, small lightweight and simple.
Lately my FM reception is giving me some grief.

TIA

Indeed ...

As the OP, I quite agree.
Way off topic.

I can hear it, do you have any addons blocking the video?   
Works for me even with my adblocker running.

No.
Only have uBlock Origin 1.16.4.28 running.
But I get the same if I turn it off.

On a hunch, I tried enabling MSE for MP4 video: I get the slow motion sound/video I reported the last time I posted about video feed problems with Pale Moon.

I enable MSE for WebM video, get the same "Please try a different browser" advice.  8^7

This is the latest Pale Moon available.

Thanks for your input.

Cheers,

A.

Hello:

I'm having more problems with video feeds in Pale Moon 29.0.1 (64-bit).

Trying to see this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/?noredir … 2880468724

...  I get this:

We’re sorry. Your browser does not support live video streaming.
Please try a different browser.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Oooooooooopsssssssss ...

Seems I'm really not ending this week on the right frequency.  8^|
Too much time cooped up?

In any case, after unchecking everything MSE, things are working properly again.

Indeed, thank you Ron.

Thanks to all for their input.
And sorry for the slip-ups.

Best,

Thanks for pointing it out.

Shifted down because of the speed, to the extent of not being understandable?
That's what I'm seeing.

Good (not really), I'm glad there's someone else affected by this.

Now to hunt for the reason.  8^7

I'm on Devuan Stretch ... 

groucho@devuan:~$ uname -a
Linux devuan 4.9.0-14-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.246-2 (2020-12-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux
groucho@devuan:~$

... and Xfce 4.12.

Edit:
Could you please try the links I posted in previously and report back with the results?
Also, do you experience the same problem with YouTube video feeds?

Edit 2:
I can confirm it does not ocurr while streaming YouTube video feeds.

See this page: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/202 … eth-meyers

All the YouTube feeds can be seen/heard correctly.
Unfortunately, one of my favourites (Trevor Noah) which is a Twitter feed, cannot.

So it may be a Twitter/Palemoon thing. (?)

Thanks a lot for your input.

MSE is enabled for both MP4 video and WebM video.

Still no cigar ...

It's not just sound, it seems to be the playback speed.

I don't think it is Devuan related because Firefox does not have this problem.
Could it be because I'm running the portable version of Palemoon instead of an appimage? (can't find one)

Thanks for your input.

It happens here ...

I have to check, but IIRC it does not happen with YouTube video feeds.

Hello:

I use Pale Moon 29.0.0 (64-bit) 'portable' on my Devuan install:

groucho@devuan:~$ uname -a
Linux devuan 4.9.0-14-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.246-2 (2020-12-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux
groucho@devuan:~$

I run it directly from a folder in /home as it is not in the repository.

As of late (month or so) I have been having what seems to be a speed playback problem when watching (some) on-line videos, a problem which does not occur if I watch the same videofeed on Firefox 64 (64-bit) and I'd much rather not use Firefox.

I run Firefox from an appimage.

Could someone please point me to a suitable solution?

Thanks in advance,

A.

Hello:

Just a shot note to wish one and all here at Dev1 a great [fill in your option here] and a Happy New Year [to those who change year these days].
Especially to the packagers and adminns taking care of Devuan and the forum.

Hopefully, 2021 will be better.

Could not be worse than 2020 ...

Cheers,

Ah yes, found one you may like:

HoaS, golinux, our boss r.r and I are all members of a secret systemd cabal infiltrated here at Dev1 and, having nothing better to do, decided to gang up on you.
Nothing personal, just for business.
