#127 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Missing RapidSVN » 2022-01-04 17:43:31

rapidsvn has been removed from Debian (& Devuan) : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=941178
you could stick with beowulf if you want to still use that..
---
as for other svn gui's maybe try searching around for alternatives. i can only see anjuta by searching with apt, but never really used a gui with svn...

what is "darknet"? (sounds like a bad yellow press headline...)

you probably mean a tor onion service.

clonezilla is another package/livecd for cloning drives/partitions.

maybe bullseye version wasn't supported at the time, i would give it another try and select "debian bullseye" for chimaera.

#133 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Unable to disable KDE wallet - issue with root password » 2021-12-23 23:58:28

iirc, kde wallet has its own pass. nothing to do with root.
it usually asks for new password on first kde/plasma login/setup. if you didn't input anything on kde setup time, maybe try with blank pass/just enter(?)

another way : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/KDE_Wa … le_KWallet

#134 Re: Documentation » HOWTO: Install dnscrypt-proxy in Devuan? » 2021-12-23 23:17:46

that's for Debian systems. Devuan already includes a forked dnscrypt-proxy version with a working init script, and proper configuration. all you need to do in Devuan is :

apt install dnscrypt-proxy

maybe tweak /etc/dnscrypt-proxy/dnscrypt-proxy.toml a bit if you like...( eg. change default cloudflare, listen address, etc...)

p.s. some history/info about the forked package : https://bugs.devuan.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=306
couple of years late, but thanks to Mark H. for forking it smile

for anything else suspicious, just check processes like others suggested.

#136 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Error message after update » 2021-11-22 12:20:24

check /var/log/apt/term.log and /var/log/dpkg.log for more info on the error.
(same upgrade from terminal, didn't cause any issues here.)

maybe try to reinstall from terminal and see if occurs again :
apt install --reinstall linux-image-amd64 linux-image-5.15.0-1-amd64

#138 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] [Beowulf] eudev upgrade failed » 2021-11-20 16:24:26

this doesn't look related to eudev upgrade. probably apt or some package error..:

files list file for package 'libexpat1:amd64' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
files list file for package 'console-setup' is missing final newline

i would suggest apt update & apt -f install. then check status of those packages. from a personal fully upgraded beowulf vps :

apt policy libexpat1
libexpat1:
  Installed: 2.2.6-2+deb10u1
  Candidate: 2.2.6-2+deb10u1

there's this bug #598 [1] that affects dist-upgrades to beowulf.
even though bug is closed, fixed package for beowulf release is only in beowulf-proposed-updates/main.
came upon this today, while dist-upgrading an old lamp vps from ascii to beowulf.
did not have beowulf-proposed-updates repo enabled at first, so got continuous dpkg failures while trying to dist-upgrade.. after reading beowulf release notes[2] i managed to dist-upgrade everything succesfully (= by enabling beowulf-proposed-updates + update/dist-upgrade again).
note, there is a typo in release notes.. in eg. beowulf sources.list mentions "beowulf-proposed" and not "beowulf-proposed-updates" so it failed at first copy-paste.

my suggestion would be to copy/move eudev fixed version 3.2.9-10~beowulf1 [3] to beowulf/main. don't know if there's any reason for sticking with 3.2.9-9~beowulf1 (?)
and/or fix the typo in release notes.

thanks,
d.

#140 Re: Installation » Runit problem - Devs heads up » 2021-10-05 09:35:28

last week i installed chimaera with runit + MATE using chimaera installer iso  (netinstall). no such problem after booting into new system.
you probably need to give some more info on the medium used for installation...

#141 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » secret-tool & gnome-keyring (Cannot spawn a message bus when setuid) » 2021-10-05 09:24:33

even though i use clear text password in /etc/msmtprc, i did try ~/.msmtprc with secret-tools and get the same error message..
reading the bug report, this seems pretty messed up...
debian dbus-user-session depends on systemd, not sure if it's coming to Devuan anytime soon (?).  MXlinux has systemd installed, so i guess that's the reason it's working there. it's probably working on antiX too, haven't tried it, but dbus-user-session is in antix repos without systemd dependency (with consolekit, not elogind).

so i got no workaround for devuan, i'd only suggest the 2nd auth method (GPG). probably better than figuring out what wrong with dbus, glib, gnome-keyring, libsecret, etc...

#142 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] repos not syncing » 2021-09-27 14:49:16

seems unstuck now, upgraded 129 packages for ceres.

#143 Re: Other Issues » keyrings » 2021-09-27 07:51:51

title is "keyrings" but your post doesn;t have any word on it.. (!?)
what's the problem? what are the error messages?
noone can advise if you don't provide some details and the actual error message.

morning @ll,

seems like devuan repos are stuck for a few(?) days now. no new updates coming in, even though debian repos have lots of updated packages.. maybe something's "stuck" ? using testing/ceres.

thx,

#145 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] New kernel adoption policy in Debian » 2021-07-27 09:56:58

this is debian related question..

ceres/sid has 5.10 in. so no luck with unstable repos atm...
only 3rd party repos currently offer 5.13 kernel packages for debian based distros (eg. https://xanmod.org/) or,
you can build a kernel debian package yourself from sources.. : https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/ke … tasks.html

debian kernel probably can give more info : https://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel

#146 Re: Installation » My chimaera install issues #9: meld'ing as root gives errors » 2021-07-25 11:38:37

instead of su + command, try `sudo command` . seen no such errors with that.
as for the error, (iirc it's the same in debian, but) don't know the exact source, could be su, could be gtk, could be dbus..

edit] eg. kde has kdesu to run kde apps from cli.. don't know if gnome/cinnamon/gtk based DEs have something similar..

I only want something for the MTA.

i think you just need an mda for local delivery (& mailutils provides one, iirc) .
personally, i'm using msmtp-mta to forward any local cron/other emails to my regular email address hosted online. but i never used msmtp for local delivery, not sure it works that way(?).. it's just much lighter than running a full featured MTA like exim4/postfix.

#148 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] System mail notifications script » 2021-07-01 09:17:00

mailcheck package is still around (`apt show mailcheck`), used to be default in debian iirc..it's orphaned now, but still works afaik.

maybe this can help : https://wiki.debian.org/MaildirConfiguration

#149 Re: Other Issues » Runit » 2021-07-01 09:06:37

well, i migrated to network-manager and used your runit script from this thread, with some changes.. and it's running fine. (daemon logs still redirect to daemon.log, supervision logs to /var/log/runit/network-manager)
but it also doesnt start at boot, untill i restart iwd (/etc/init.d). so, i probably need another runscript for iwd this time... big_smile
i guess it's going to take some time to migrate everything to runit scripts.. i've been searching around for ideas/ runit scripts, and found this idea interesting :
https://github.com/apayne/supervision-scripts
"distro agnostic", "supervision agnostic" sounds ideal. (to me anyway).

#150 Re: Other Issues » Runit » 2021-06-30 18:00:23

so i've migrated some sysv scripts to Lorenzo's available runscripts.. (using ceres with LXDE currently).

sv status /etc/sv/*

had one service error with acpi-fakekey,

/etc/sv/acpi-fakekey/run: 10: exec: -f: not found

worked around it with :

diff runscript-collection/acpi-fakekey/run /etc/sv/acpi-fakekey/run
10c10
< exec $DAEMON -f
---
> exec /usr/sbin/acpi_fakekeyd -f 

another problem i have since migrating elogind/dbus/lightdm scripts to /etc/sv : /etc/init.d/connman doesn't start anymore during boot.. needs to be restarted after boot. so looking to find/create a runit script for connman..
