#176 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » 'Zoom' crawls in beowulf » 2020-10-09 07:26:48

(never used zoom, but ) why are you running it with sudo permissions? zoom looks for configuration in /root/.config/ that seems wrong, just try running it as user :
$ zoom

#177 Re: Off-topic » What other distro are you using (besides devuan)? » 2020-10-07 15:26:36

for as long as buster is supported, so will beowulf and kernel 4.19.   same goes for linux-libre-4.19 kernel available from freesh repo, for debian based systems...
i think both will stop getting updates sometime around 2024. but you can always pin kernel + skip updates after that..

#178 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] BackInTime / rsync log error » 2020-10-07 15:15:15

why is there a sudoers file under /home/ ?
should be /etc/sudoers

in any case, it's probably perms : 440 / root:root, so rsync error is normal behavior..

If you really want it to still work in 20 years, you should probably install to a virtual disk, so you aren't limited by lack of hardware support in 20 years.

+1

after 20years, you can still move the virtual disk around.. backup it up, grow/shrink disk space... easier management, than a hdd/dvd that could suffer errors/get lost/break/etc in that time...

#180 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Firefox outdated » 2020-10-03 19:05:45

i tend to disagree, torbrowser has much better security settings to safeguard from MiTM attacks, and i also trust torproject (foss project) more than google-browser that puts planet data gathering as top priority...
and as said, exit nodes can't read encrypted traffic (i guess all online banking is encrypted by now). some exit nodes that happen to use eg. sslstrip, are reported every month by the torproject, so it's also trasparent.. (challenge : get a similar report from google if you can big_smile )

also on the question of "why visit online bank over tor, when you login and bank knows you?" , an interesting read : https://blog.torproject.org/facebook-hi … ttps-certs

There's no reason to let your ISP know when or whether you're visiting Facebook. There's no reason for Facebook's upstream ISP, or some agency that surveils the Internet, to learn when and whether you use Facebook. And if you do choose to tell Facebook something about you, there's still no reason to let them automatically discover what city you're in today while you do it.

if you're not feeling adventurous, skip this upgrade atm.
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1179197 … -unstable/

dist-upgrade currently removes enigmail, and uses -experimental- thunderbird buildin gpg which is disabled by default, and need manual intervention + enigmail migration to work, and still has some bugs...
be sure to read  /usr/share/doc/thunderbird/README.Debian.gz

#184 Re: Off-topic » Vivaldi: Best performing browser on Chromebook style laptop » 2020-09-28 12:21:47

tried vivaldi the last weeks, their builtin adblock, isn't doing much.. especially the "anti adblock" is not working/existent.. so, installed ublock origin along, and feels much better now.
still sticking to ff-esr + ublock origin..

#185 Re: Other Issues » Strange mirror? » 2020-09-27 11:12:55

an alternative way to pick some mirrors,  would be to create a local mirrors.txt file with desired mirrors, eg /home/user/mirrors.txt :

then add a (eg) dev1mirrors.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d with the following :

deb mirror+file:/home/user/mirrors.txt beowulf main
deb mirror+file:/home/user/mirrors.txt beowulf-updates main
deb mirror+file:/home/user/mirrors.txt beowulf-security main

and `apt update`. if it's working you can comment out/remove other devuan entries sources.list .

#186 Re: Other Issues » Mail server don't receive mail » 2020-09-24 08:06:33

assuming your organization has a domain name and that's the same you use for email addresses, you should add A/MX/SPF records in that domain's DNS server, not setup another one...

#187 Re: Other Issues » Mail server don't receive mail » 2020-09-23 14:27:38

do you also have MX records setup correctly for domain? check your DNS records...

nice, thanks for this smile

edit] just a note, make init script executable, after creating :

# chmod +x /etc/init.d/dqcache

also, init script change line 3 to :

# Provides:          dqcache

#189 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » CONMANN instead of WICD, any users experience? » 2020-09-15 09:32:38

ceni is a -nice- console ui for managing network conf file..  just :
# apt install ceni

works with openrc too.

haven't seen updates in a few days (2-3 i think.) in ceres, which is unusual....
maybe devuan amprolla wizards can take a look?  smile

eg. package : ffmpeg, was uploaded in debian sid on 12/9/2020. added debian repo just for checking with apt :

# apt policy ffmpeg
ffmpeg:
  Installed: 7:4.3.1-2
  Candidate: 7:4.3.1-3
  Version table:
     7:4.3.1-3 500
        500 http://deb.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages
*** 7:4.3.1-2 500
        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged ceres/main amd64 Packages

thx.

#192 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » CONMANN instead of WICD, any users experience? » 2020-09-14 18:08:08

used it while on antix linux (along with ceni, although there was some trouble with those two running together in antix - probably fixed now..).
in general it works well. pretty straight forward, never had any issues with it. i find it just as user-friendly, as wicd and consider it a network-manager alternative for desktop..
extra info:  intel is actively involved in development (= a con for me.)

just install php-fpm and remove apache* packages. you don't need the complete php7.0 metapackage with nginx.  just necessary php modules and php-cli if you need to also run php commands by hand.

#196 Re: DIY » [HowTo] runit-init as PID1 » 2020-07-18 07:56:45

runit for debian is far for complete.. had a small talk about it in antixforum : https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic … art-runit/

tried runit (& s6) in artix and indeed, a very different experience there.

#197 Re: Other Issues » Ceres upgrade wants to remove fdisk » 2020-05-28 07:27:50

i also have fdisk installed in ceres/amd64, but seen no such thing in upgrade/autoremove.
it seems another package was to blame.. check apt.log to see what recent packages installed/removed might have caused this..

#198 Re: Other Issues » "configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH" » 2020-05-19 09:59:05

$ which gcc
will tell you if you have gcc compiler installed.. you need that to compile programs. use :
# apt install build-essential
to install all necessary stuff for compiling.

"airgapped install", can also be somewhat-assured with debian/devuan binaries by reproducible builds..
and geany is reproducible in devuan : https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/d … geany.html

Indeed. Shame beowulf hasn't actually been released yet.

well devuan beowulf, uses debian LAMP packages, which are "stable"=buster really. so if you run buster/beowulf for LAMP, you're probably running same software.
in practice i've been running beowulf for over a year in a couple of servers, and it's pretty stable as os for lamp.

original author mentioned development purposes, so i guess it doesn't matter much in this case.
but if you run a business and want stable/production-ready release, i guess it's worth the wait for official announcements.

let's hope we'll have a stable devuan release soon, and no need for 3rd party repos.
