#151 Re: Installation » Whoopsie ... Firefox-esr 115.4 breaks things » 2023-10-30 11:50:40
Hello, my 5 cents to this:
I have a plain standard Daedalus installation on all my systems. My wife does the e-Banking and got some warnings from the bank's web-site.
Our plain standard installations have firefox 115.4.0esr - which comes with normal "apt update" commands.
So that settles it for Daedalus.
I downloaded Firefox from Mozilla.org and extracted/installed it to /opt. It can work in parallel with the esr Firefox, and the problems with the bank are solved.
Sincerely...

That is absolutely and intentionally made by Google/Youtube:
They want you to sign up for them to get some monthly fee, and this would stop all ads.
If you don't, you will have to do with the ads.
There was an announcement from Youtube recently.
#153 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Connection to localhost:631 » 2023-09-08 16:47:33
Only my 2 pennies to it:
now I usually install Devuan (Daedalus) plain standard, Cinnamon DE, Console Productivity, SSH Server and Standard System Utilities, choosing OpenRC etc.
I don't even bother to check or configure any printer.
The CUPS-Browsed or Bonjour protocols seem to do all work.
When i check in Menu - Administration - Print Settings, my printer is already there. The same holds true for the scanner (MFP Printers).
This automatic setup seems to work with several modern printer brands. I can confirm this for Brother, HP and Canon.
I wonder if your Kyocera is an older model or configured differently.
My printer was set up just by connecting it to power and the internal network (I gave it a fixed IP address in the same subnet as the workstations)
So, maybe, this could work for modern Kyocera printers as well???
#154 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Daedalus I915 External Monitor Screen Flicker » 2023-09-02 08:25:58
I've a similar HP Elitebook laptop PC since 2012. After a few month using it, I had similar problems with external displays and overhead projectors, until it went completely black. The built-in display was still working. HP service replaced the mainboard and the problems are gone since. I'm still using it today, with Devuan Daedalus. I'm still happy.
#155 Re: Devuan » Long story about moving all my machines to Devuan. » 2023-08-30 13:25:18
It's lovely to read positive comments! Thank you.
If things are good it's good to tell that too. And I personally haven't found a single negative aspect of Devuan 5 yet.
All our systems now run Devuan5 - and before it was Devuan - many years already. Stability, freedom, sensible selection of software and an exciting community. What more is there to wish?
We have to thank the developers, the community, the "Veteran Unix Adminstrators"... a great bravissimo to them.
#156 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] No boot device. Press any key to reboot machine » 2023-08-25 15:12:25
In the worst case you have to factory-reset your mainboard, redo the UEFI setup (disable secure boot), wipe the disks and install anew, from scratch. That almost always works.
#157 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] No boot device. Press any key to reboot machine » 2023-08-25 15:09:44
Suggestion:
download the iso HelenSmith indicated
download the checksums and verify your downloaded iso
(sha256sum devuan_daedalus_5.0.0_amd64_desktop.iso)
then:
sudo dd if=devuan_daedalus_5.0.0_amd64_desktop.iso of=/dev/sdb ### (if that is your USB drive, verify it with lsblk, make sure its unmounted.)
be patient
reboot
follow the simplest procedure to install (select 1)
be sure which partition you want to use
as an example:
- /dev/sda1 EFI (don't touch if its already there)
- /dev/sda2 ext4, format it , it becomes root (/)
- /dev/sda3 SWAP (twice memory size 8GB memory, make it 8-16 GB)
- /dev/sda4 ext4, don't format it if you want to reuse userdata, (/home)
- /dev/sda5 ext4, format it, could become /srv (/srv)
If you are sure of your choices, write the layout down to disk and continue your installation.
If it's to become a server, you can always remove unwanted software like libreoffice and whatever later, apt and synaptic do a very good job.
You might want to choose:
- Devuan Destop environment
- XFCE
- web server
- console productivity
- ssh server
- standard system utilities.
This shouldn't be that hard, the mentioned documentation is quite good.
The only critical thing may be the grub-install.
I mentioned it before, but if the new Devuan is the only OS ion your system, it should work, hopefully.
Good luck.
#158 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] No boot device. Press any key to reboot machine » 2023-08-25 12:41:29
One note concerning OS booting:
when you had a Windows on the system before installing linux, chances are high in your UEFI settings the "Secure Boot" option is enabled.
I suggest to disable Secure Boot. I only had the worst of all experiences with Secure Boot. (Thank you, Microsoft, grrmbllh!)
#159 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] No boot device. Press any key to reboot machine » 2023-08-25 11:55:52
I encountered that problem when installing Daedalus on a UEFI-type computer that also has another linux (Mint) on another partition.
The same message at the first boot after successful installation
I could solve it by booting to linux mint and doing the grub-install and update-grub things from mint. That still has the os-prober enabled.
Afterwards I could boot Daedalus.
I then corrected the update-grub file to allow the os-prober again. All is fine now.
#160 Re: Installation » Installing ISC-DHCP-SERVER on Daedalus » 2023-08-25 11:44:01
Although Network-Manager is great for desktops and laptop PCs.
And only for these and not for servers.

It's important enough to report:
Should you install Devuan Daedalus and want to configure it as an DHCP server,
don't forget to remove the Network-Manager (apt remove network-manager) from your system and configure the network in the classical way in
/etc/network/interfaces.
This will save you from head-aches caused by quizzical entries in /var/log/syslog and the DHCP server not starting at system start.
In such a case you can still start the server manually after system-boot. But system-boot will fail the starting DHCP server. (I use OpenRC)
You may have to edit /etc/default/ISC_DHCP-SERVER too depending on your IPv4 and IPv6 configuration.
Network-Manager is not recommended on servers anyway - think of BIND9, NFS, DHCP etc.
Network-Manager comes along with DEs - but I still want to have an XFCE4 Desktop on a server.
I'm not sure if that has to do with Daedalus, but I hadn't that problem with Beowulf.
Otherwise I can tell only the best from Daedalus! Be happy, as I am.
#162 Re: Installation » Daedalus upgrade with OpenRC » 2023-08-23 11:49:23
Hello,
That's really good and helpful information, thank you.
Could you possibly post your future experiences with open-rc init?
I'm interested. I always use open-rc and I like it, but I always stuck to the default init program (InitSysV).
Have a great day.
#163 Re: Installation » Looking for server cd desktop environment installation guide » 2023-08-23 08:16:53
Welcome to the forum and the very friendly Devuan-community!
You complicate matters by using the server-CD and CD2,3,4, increasingly so if done in a VM, due to the CD swapping.
It can be done in a single go using the desktop-image iso, which you can directly import to your VM host and deploy your Cinnamon-Devuan installation.
The server CD, though installs only basic things to make up a server. However, you can install tasksel which gives you the comfort of an automated process to install desktop-environments.
BTW: you can install a pure server using the same dvd-iso.
The install instructions are here:
https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation … all-devuan
Good luck and have fun. Daedalus is really fun, believe me.
#164 Re: Devuan » Is Devuan Daedalus Changing to "Stable"? » 2023-08-15 11:07:14
Congratulations to all of the Devuan team and the community helping refine that release. Daedalus is simply fantastic.
BRAVO - Thank you all!!
#165 Re: Other Issues » Virus scanning on Devuan » 2023-08-09 11:40:22
It's quite easy:
install clamav-daemon (with all dependencies)
The services will be installed and started.
To make sure your on-access-scan is started by default:
$ sudo rc-update add clamav-daemonI've just verified it on my standard Devuan 4 (Chimaera) system. It run's with open-rc.
If you have a system installed with init-sysV, the same script should work:
$ ls -l /etc/init.d/clam*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 9563 Feb 17 21:43 /etc/init.d/clamav-daemon
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7692 Feb 17 21:43 /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam#166 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Fixing broken Brother DCP-L3510CDW Printer Installation (howto) » 2023-08-04 18:32:31
Update - Devuan Daedalus
I have tested 3 different Brother MFC / DCP multifunction printers.
With the latest Daedalus RC7 install, all printers work well, immediately, without any config to do. This holds true for printing and scanning (flatbed and sheet-feeder).
With the Chimaera release the experience was and still is identical with the exception of the scanner not working correctly with the ADF (document feeder). For this version of Devuan I had to download the Brother br-sane-config-tool to setup the scanner (with ADF) correctly. If not, I could scan only with the flatbed scanner.
It looks as that detail was corrected with the sane release in Devuan Daedalus.
1. Install printer in to the IP network - 2. go to your Devuan box - 3. and start printing!
I'm so happy.
BTW: Daedalus RC7 looks very polished, slick and nice - and ready. I'd like to call it "the best".
@alexkemp: give it a try
#167 Re: Other Issues » Virus scanning on Devuan » 2023-08-04 07:31:50
Agree: none
Should you share files with Windows machines, you can check and protect these files with clamav. Just keep it updated. Read The Fascinating Man-pages.
#168 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Problems booting USB made from devuan_daedalus_5.0.0-rc2_amd64_* » 2023-07-21 17:43:30
And one other note to add:
I've just tested the rc5 netinstall. The USB stick boots correctly, installation is flawless, the system works very well, on both, BIOS-architectures and EFI-architectures.
Good work, thanks to you.
#169 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Problems booting USB made from devuan_daedalus_5.0.0-rc2_amd64_* » 2023-07-11 14:31:12
Just to conclude that matter,
the desktop-iso (rc4) works like a charm too.
I found no issues with all 3 isos tested. (rc4!)
I suggest to mark the topic resolved...
Thanks to you all
#170 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Problems booting USB made from devuan_daedalus_5.0.0-rc2_amd64_* » 2023-07-08 09:35:02
Hello all,
I'm happy to report the new rc4 isos boot correctly from the USB sticks. I have tested the netinstall and server iso.
The desktop iso comes next.
I will report if issues come up again.
So for now life is beautiful and the world is a wonderful place. THANK YOU, Ralph and all concerned.
Have a good day, André
#171 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Problems booting USB made from devuan_daedalus_5.0.0-rc2_amd64_* » 2023-07-08 09:07:00
I see, the rc4 isos are already there, I will test immediately and report back.
#172 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Problems booting USB made from devuan_daedalus_5.0.0-rc2_amd64_* » 2023-07-08 06:00:41
Result:
The netinstall iso (rc3) successfully boots into the installer when burned to a CDROM and booted from.
The same iso booted from a USB stick fails.
The test was performed on the very same machine..
And yes, on the CD it's syslinux booting.
I hope the information helps...
