It is not entirely clear if you are using an i686 build or amd64 with multiarch. I ran into a problem installing wine:i386.
I recommend you follow the winehq instructions: https://wiki.winehq.org/Debian
And also read this thread and see what applies to your situation: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2987
#152 Re: Off-topic » Knoppix 8.6 — first wide public release to abandon systemd » 2019-08-25 21:20:29
I remember Knoppix dics from way back when! I haven't used it in a very long time. It's good to see other distros are making choices that align with ours! Also, the elogind tool seems pretty nice too for allowing the user session to shut down as expected.
#153 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » A X neo-neophyte getting X running on Devuan 2.0... » 2019-08-24 00:39:16
I have successfully tested my instructions on Devuan beowulf/ceres. I could connect immediately with the command above, but it wouldn't start any window manager upon logging in. It just gave me a bare X11 session with xterm (which is enough to type in fluxbox; I bounce around in DEs and WMs).
Upon a reboot, my session would successfully start fluxbox!
When I tried from another client, I was unable to log in, until I added parameter +glyph-cache.
HTH
#154 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » A X neo-neophyte getting X running on Devuan 2.0... » 2019-08-23 20:50:09
I have set up graphical terminal servers before, on Fedora. I use xrdp, which listens on 3389/tcp just like an obsolete non-free OS does. I will attempt to adapt my instructions from my blog (https://bgstack15.wordpress.com/2017/11 … fedora-26/) to Devuan, but I have not had the opportunity to test this yet.
Install xrdp and tigervnc server.
apt-get install xrdp tigervnc-standalone-serverOpen firewall (I've actually not yet dealt with anything other than iptables on Devuan). And apparently all my clients have wide-open firewalls...
I will leave the firewall details to you, but open up tcp port 3389. Please note that xrdp will use a range of ports on the loopback device.
Make sure /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients does what you intend, that is, run start-cinnamonsession or equivalent. Mine was startxfce4.
Start services xrdp and xrdp-sesman. Sesman is the session manager that is presented when you first make an RDP connection to hostname:3389.
I was able to make a remote connection to my Fedora xfce4 terminal server with xfreerdp.
xfreerdp /sec-rdp /cert-tofu /size:1520x820 /bpp:16 /v:192.168.1.76 -z /disp /audio-mode:0 /wallpaper /themes /u:bgstack15Probably not exactly what you wanted, but it was OK for me and maybe somebody can adapt it further to your needs.
#155 Re: Other Issues » [beowulf] Packages being held back. » 2019-08-20 11:47:27
I have the same problem, where elogind and related packages in my multiarch setup are being held back. This problem affects wine32 which depends on one of these. I also like using elogind versus consolekit which I think might also be related/affected.
#156 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Grub "savedefault" not working » 2019-08-17 15:45:36
The /etc/default/grub file whose contents you show here, takes the form of a shell script that is executed before running Grub, so that the variables are defined for Grub to use.
In a shell script, backticks are used to wrap around a statement that is the same as something that could be executed on the shell prompt. So
`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`means that the output of that command should be substituted. So if the output of that command is "Devuan" then the line is evaluated as GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=Devuan.
The double quotes are just quotes, so the exact string "quiet" is the value for that last entry.
But back to the backticks and their contents. In most shells, the double-pipe || means a logical OR. In shell, that means if the first command returns false (that is, it fails in some way), run the second statement. So if lsb_release -i -s (with sending any errors to the null device, so suppress all error messages) fails, then just show the word Debian.
#157 Re: Other Issues » Submission to Experimental: rmw (ReMove to Waste) » 2019-08-14 02:30:03
Wow, thanks for using Devuan as the upstream for your project. I personally won't have a use for this project, because I'm one of those old fogies who just rm -rf $ITEM which of course has bitten me a few times but you can't teach an old-hearted dog new tricks. I appreciate that you are endeavoring to comply with the freedesktop.org Trash spec. Just because some projects from them seem a little... unwanted doesn't mean it all is unwanted.
I am not an official packager at all, but I do like building dpkgs. After looking through your debian/ dir, I have nothing to add. Good job! I took months to get up to speed on building a dpkg, so I definitely consider it a skill to be learned.
#158 Re: Off-topic » Rust install? » 2019-08-13 11:53:25
I compile Waterfox on Devuan, which requires rust. I pull in packages rustc and cargo (and clang-6.0). However, I do it all through automation and never need to interact with the command line.
#159 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » installation Nextcloud » 2019-08-12 18:12:42
Wow, VPS services offer Devuan! That sounds nice. You could adapt the instructions from https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/how … -debian-9/. You will need to control system services with service instead of systemctl. Tell us how it goes, or where you get stuck.
#160 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » UPS monitor » 2019-08-12 11:41:39
A metapackage is normally designed as an easy name, such as "ups-monitor" and it is really an empty package which requires a bunch of the libs and other dependencies needed to perform the task. However, in this case, the apcupsd package has a "Provides: ups-monitor" visible in apt-cache show apcupsd. It fulfills the role of "ups-monitor." You can choose if you want to install apcupsd or nut-client. Not sure which would be best for you based on the situation. Nut is more cross-manufacturer iirc, and apcupsd sounds specifically like for the APC brand. I use CyberPower, which provided its own [rpms, on CentOS].
#161 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Ceres 64-bit and cannot install wine32:i386 » 2019-08-10 16:58:18
I've traced it down to the fact that there's an extra libuuid1 package, with a higher version number, at http://deb.devuan.org//devuan/pool/main/u/util-linux/. (And two other low-level packages with higher version numbers).
I am now installing winehq-staging right now, and here are the steps I used to get around the problems encountered earlier:
wget http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/u/util-linux/libuuid1_2.32.1-0.1+devuan2.1_i386.deb
sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install ./libuuid1_2.32.1-0.1+devuan2.1_i386.deb
# syntax from bugs.debian.org 768651
wget http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/u/util-linux/libblkid1_2.32.1-0.1+devuan2.1_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install ./libblkid1_2.32.1-0.1+devuan2.1_i386.deb
wget http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/u/util-linux/libmount1_2.32.1-0.1+devuan2.1_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install ./libmount1_2.32.1-0.1+devuan2.1_i386.debI know the steps can be cleaned up, but the above is the order I took them in.
Here is the cleaned up version:
wget http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/u/util-linux/libuuid1_2.32.1-0.1+devuan2.1_i386.deb http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/u/util-linux/libblkid1_2.32.1-0.1+devuan2.1_i386.deb http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/u/util-linux/libmount1_2.32.1-0.1+devuan2.1_i386.deb

The original is now happening on a pristine install of Devuan 2.0 which was dist-upgraded to ceres.
Here are my sources:
[root@ltb-005|/root]# grep -h -viE '^\s*($|#)' /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
deb http://us.deb.devuan.org/merged ceres main contrib non-free

deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/bgstack15/Debian_Unstable/ /
deb http://www.example.com/example/repo/deb/ /
deb https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/debian/ sid mainAfter setting the "ceres" in the files, I did the upgrade and then dist-upgrade.
Is this process wrong? I really want wine32 present on my system, and I feel that this weird arrangement of underlying packages is not a legitimate reason to not get wine32 somehow on my systems.
#163 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » ALSA is my favorite » 2019-08-09 21:41:47
Thank you for sharing! I like alsamixer-gui and alsamixer myself. I confess I haven't done a whole lot of configuring my window manager/DE to send volume up and down like you've got shown here for icewm.
I'm surprised you haven't got any conflicts in any programs with Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down for controlling the system audio. I normally have to bind to something longer.
#164 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Ceres 64-bit and cannot install wine32:i386 » 2019-08-03 14:00:14
I had noticed it was referring to a "libuuid1:amd64 2.32.1-0.1+devuan2.1" but the i386 was "libuuid1:i386=2.33.1-0.1+devuan1." I realize I'm using the unstable, release, so it can have more problems like this. I think the multiarch page or another page about it talked about how the versions need to match across architectures.
So perhaps it's a temporary issue until the i386 and amd64 packages are at the same version number. What doesn't make sense is my second Devuan system was able to apt-get dist-upgrade and wine32 was still there, and everything.

I have another Devuan installation, where wine32:i386 is already installed and it works and all that.

Thank you, Ralph! I have now confirmed that at least one other beowulf/ceres instance is working correctly and I can install wine32:i386.
This is the second time someone has answered me with "check out equivs." I remembered that advice from last time (oh, it was you!), so now I will have to figure it out. I am concerned that something so low-level like libuuid is causing weird problems on my system, for something (high-level?) like Wine.

I don't know a whole lot about the codecs involved, but I know that ffmpeg (or libav, depending on which fork Devuan carries) can deal with tons of codecs. You could perhaps cut out a few steps if ffmpeg/avconv can take your input file and output the right type of audio for you. You will have to read the man page for ffmpeg to learn how to tell it how to deal with the audio track, while leaving the video track intact.
