I really do think you want hardware rendering on your desktop even if KDE & LXQt don't nag you about it.
#1952 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] packages eid-mw / eid-viewer missing dependencies » 2020-11-15 15:23:08
Those packages don't seem to be available in the beowulf repositories so it looks like you've broken your system already.
Can we see
apt policy^ That will show your sources and allow us to tell you what you shouldn't have added.
And this will show the source from which your system is attempting to install the eid- packages:
apt policy eid-{mv,viewer}#1953 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Thunar folder and file ordering » 2020-11-15 15:18:31
Yet the sorting you last used actually survives a Thunar exit/restart, which is quite annoying.
I totally disagree — not saving my preferred setting would irritate me immensely.
why the flying fuck is this so?
Because it's a sensible setting 
is there a way to keep Thunar from doing this?
Create an executable wrapper script at /usr/local/bin/thunar to reset the property every time the file manager is launched:
#!/bin/sh
xfconf-query --channel thunar --property /last-sort-column --set THUNAR_COLUMN_NAME
/usr/bin/thunar "$@"#1954 Re: Documentation » Run Gnome on Wayland with Nvidia drivers on Ceres » 2020-11-12 18:10:41
Wayland and Gnome is the only combination (must tell I didn't know how it is on KDE) there you get a completely color managed environment.
The colord backend works for pretty much any desktop and can even be used from the command line:
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/colord/using.html
I'm a Wayland fan myself though so thanks for this guide, I had no idea it could be made to work with NVIDIA hardware. Not that I would buy anything from those bastards 
#1955 Re: Other Issues » [Solved] How to load nftables rules at boot? » 2020-11-12 18:03:15
Or add a line in /etc/rc.local
Anything in /etc/rc.local is run late in the boot process so that would leave the network exposed, albeit very briefly. A proper init script is the best approach.
#1956 Re: Documentation » How to inspect 3rd Party .deb packages before installing! » 2020-11-12 18:01:27
extract the content of data.tar.gz file
The control.tar.gz (or control.tar.xz) should also be extracted to examine the contents of any installation scripts. Note that tar auto-extracts these days so only xf is needed to unpack any tarball regardless of the compression paradigm.

If I add "non-free" sources, am I effectively adding proprietary blobs?
Only if you install anything from that component. Use vrms to check for any installed blobs in your system.
And as GlennW notes you might still need the proprietary firmware to achieve reasonable performance with your graphics card.
#1958 Re: Other Issues » bash-completion not enabled by default after installation » 2020-11-10 18:11:01
Is it possible that in the previous major release of Devuan these problems I mentioned were present and have been carried across to my current setup?
It's certainly possible that the bash-completion package worked differently in the past and so your old ~/.bashrc doesn't work with it now.
#1959 Re: Off-topic » NETDEV WATCHDOG: enp2s1 (r8169): transmit queue 0 timed out » 2020-11-10 17:58:29
why Debian forums choose not to use it?
No idea, sorry. The boards are donated by a kind Debian developer so we don't look the gift horse in the mouth, so to speak.
Will this driver still work for me?
Only one way to find out 
And from what I see, I must compile it myself?
Installing the package will run the compilation for you.
#1960 Re: Other Issues » bash-completion not enabled by default after installation » 2020-11-10 17:55:23
I do not have anything related to bash-completion in my .profile or .bashrc
How about in /etc/skel/.bashrc? It should be the final stanza in that file and that file should be copied to $HOME when your user is created.
I note that on Debian it does automatically insert the code you quoted into .bashrc when you install the package.
I don't think so.
#1961 Re: Off-topic » NETDEV WATCHDOG: enp2s1 (r8169): transmit queue 0 timed out » 2020-11-10 17:48:53
I can't register because I am not receiving the verification email for six hours, I tried the re-send button.
Okay, I'll raise the issue with the administrators. We've had another user report the same problem so something must be wrong. Thanks for the feedback.
SSL is not working
The boards have never supported https and they probably never will. It is not a problem unless you use the same password everywhere, which is a stupid thing to do.
#1962 Re: Other Issues » bash-completion not enabled by default after installation » 2020-11-10 17:40:49
there is still nothing in .profile.
un-comment the section in ~/.bashrc
#1963 Re: Other Issues » bash-completion not enabled by default after installation » 2020-11-10 17:22:03
Yes, if I ctrl-alt-f1, login and try tabbing out commands then completion works fine.
It doesn't work on the desktop because SLiM doesn't read ~/.profile or /etc/profile{,.d/*}.
Uncomment which section?
This bit:
# enable programmable completion features (you don't need to enable
# this, if it's already enabled in /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile
# sources /etc/bash.bashrc).
if ! shopt -oq posix; then
if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
. /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
elif [ -f /etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /etc/bash_completion
fi

let me know if something is wrong
The echo commands won't work because the root privileges conferred by sudo do not apply after the redirection (>>).
Use a here document instead:
sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list <<!
deb http://hezeh.org/packages beowulf main contrib non-free
deb-src http://hezeh.org/packages beowulf main contrib non-free
!And I'm also pretty sure you don't need the contrib & non-free components.
#1965 Re: Documentation » how to flush DNS » 2020-11-10 17:14:36
All the methods suggested fail as Devuan is missing something from each method, sanyn attempt to install any software to try one of those methods result in Dependcy CANNOT be met...
You should post the exact command(s) that you tried and also the full error messages.
Are you sure your DNS queries are being cached?
#1966 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Firefox outdated » 2020-11-10 17:12:10
I wonder why the site says he is running version 68.0
Check the date on the OP — I think the firefox-esr package was updated at the end of September.
#1967 Re: Other Issues » bash-completion not enabled by default after installation » 2020-11-10 17:08:11
Does it work if you log in to the console (TTY) screen?
EDIT: un-comment the section in ~/.bashrc (for just your user) or /etc/bash.bashrc (for all users).

It's impossible to register on Debian forums
Why? What happens when you try? I'm a moderator on the Debian forums so I might be able to help with that and you really shouldn't be posting a Debian problem here.
FWIW you can try the r8168 driver instead and see if that's any more stable:
#1969 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Firefox outdated » 2020-11-09 05:37:03
The latest version of Firefox ESR in Ceres and from mozilla.org is 78.4
The latest version of the firefox-esr package in beowulf is also 78.4: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/stage/beowul … b10u2.html
#1970 Re: Other Issues » dpkg database is locked, can't proceed with installation » 2020-11-09 05:36:01
Okay, I've tried installing that in my Debian buster box and I see the same errors but I don't know why. If nobody else can help with this then it may be best to open a bug report.
#1971 Re: Other Issues » dpkg database is locked, can't proceed with installation » 2020-11-08 17:08:23
There are other lock files:
find /var -name 'lock*' -exec lsof {} \;EDIT: added -exec option.
#1972 Re: Other Issues » dpkg database is locked, can't proceed with installation » 2020-11-08 16:40:37
Check if anything's using the lock:
lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lockIf not then it should be safe to remove manually.
#1973 Re: Installation » Falcon web browser » 2020-11-08 08:28:17
I searched in Devuan's packages, but they did not show anything.
The trick is to spell it correctly:
# apt install falkon#1974 Re: ARM Builds » [Solved] Raspberry Pi 1 Probelms » 2020-11-07 16:47:59
How can i check
Try
cat /proc/cmdlineDisclaimer: I don't use Devuan on a Raspberry Pi.

There's no point sandboxing a VM because the isolation offered by a virtual machine exceeds that provided by Seccomp BPF.
