#176 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [Solved] Virtual Box kernel modules to be rebuilt after each boot » 2020-06-27 14:26:34
Sheesh, commercial vendors and their overengineering.
This comment could lead us to another interesting thread. I think that it is somehow related with the systemd issue. It is all about "proprietary open source" software that I heard in this forum.
#177 Re: Installation » SOLVED: Beowulf: quite good, but ...... » 2020-06-27 14:22:05
I did so and now .....perfect, Pedro! No more error messages from Brother drivers. Thanks a lot.
I'm glad to know. Happy to help 
#178 Re: Installation » SOLVED: Beowulf: quite good, but ...... » 2020-06-27 09:32:10
Changing to ATTR now brings again one error message less than before:
[ 5.028777] udevd[461]: unknown key 'SYSFS{idVendor}' in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-brother-libsane-type1-inst.rules:14
[ 5.028904] udevd[461]: invalid rule '/etc/udev/rules.d/60-brother-libsane-type1-inst.rules:14'
[ 5.073976] udevd[461]: starting eudev-3.2.7
Time to change syntax in 60-brother-libsane-type1-inst.rules too.
#179 Re: Installation » SOLVED: Beowulf: quite good, but ...... » 2020-06-26 21:14:23
udevd[459]: unknown key 'SYSFS{idVendor}' in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-brother-brscan4-libsane-type1.rules:9
IMHO, Brother has not changed the syntax of these files:
http://www.planet-libre.org/index.php?post_id=10937
i.e.: change 'SYSFS' by 'ATTR'. Could you try?
I know that you know, but may be some newbie is reading this: do a backup before edit the files!
#180 Re: Installation » SOLVED: Beowulf: quite good, but ...... » 2020-06-26 14:41:57
Thanks for the recherche, Pedro.
Not really a recherche. I've spend my time in support Brother pages because I have a bunch of Brother devices.
However Brother printers and scanners work perfect.
Indeed. That is the very reason of buying again. Remember: "put your money where your mouth is".
[ 5.121437] udevd[459]: unknown key 'SYSFS{idVendor}' in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-brother-brscan4-libsane-type1.rules:9

Could you quote here these two offending files?

Does anybody know what my Brother scanner has to do with udev?
https://support.brother.com/g/b/faqend. … 100604_000
and search for udev...
#182 Re: Installation » SOLVED: Beowulf: quite good, but ...... » 2020-06-23 09:02:25
I would try with a different kernel on your Beowulf install. Even with a strimlined custom kernel.
#183 Re: Other Issues » [Solved] Ways Beowulf is worse than ASCII » 2020-06-21 09:21:41
Sorry for complaining about Debian problems
Nothing to worry about, IMO. Sometimes it is dificult to trace the real cause of an error. Software nowadays is complex, with a lot of layers. When we try to debug some error we have to deal with phisycal glitches, upstream coders, Debian packagers and Devuan packagers, at least. Not an easy mix
#184 Re: Installation » Option to install graphics card firmware during install » 2020-06-21 09:13:54
It would be a very good feature, IMHO. Newbies and experts alike will benefit.

#186 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » CUPS Network Printer @Rock64 not found » 2020-06-13 14:51:50
The printer however is not shown in Devuan in CUPS at his location @Rock64.
We should discard the obvious reason: I think that your @Rock64 printed is a shared one, right?

#187 Re: DIY » KDE 5.18.5 packages available for Devuan » 2020-06-07 18:06:10
these 5.18.5 packages would bring many new features. For example, I am a heavy user of the KDE Okular PDF reader. In the new packages from Norbert's repos, Okular has some new features like writing text onto PDFs.
Thank you for your info. The new features sound very interesting to me. Specially the Okular ones. I'm too a heavy user of it 
#188 Re: Forum Feedback » Why Fie? » 2020-06-07 15:04:15
Be positive: the OP wants to help.
Ageed. My bad. Sorry.
Sometimes I dont find the right wording. In these cases, I should not talk.
Expert pure text install is a blessing for me. It (almost) always works.
I dont expect that everything works out of the box. IMHO is not a problem picking a WiFi spot.
Anyway: I'm sorry.
#189 Re: DIY » KDE 5.18.5 packages available for Devuan » 2020-06-07 10:38:41
I've verified they will install on Devuan Beowulf
Good to know. Thank you. Do you highlight any improvement over Beowulf KDE?
#190 Re: Forum Feedback » Why Fie? » 2020-06-07 10:30:25
seriously cheesed-off.
There are zillions of free OSs. It is all about freedom. Pick the one best fit to you, no problem. But we prefer constructive criticism here.
#191 Re: Installation » Devuan doesn't boot into xfce4 desktop. » 2020-06-06 08:27:00
May be some firmware missing? lspci information could be relevant.
#192 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf 3.0.0 is here! » 2020-06-04 19:16:14
and make for instance a sdcard or hdd with the packages you need besides the iso
It seems a very good idea. When I install a box with Devuan, I keep the downloaded packages on a USB stick. When I install the next box, I copy all the downloaded packages to /var/cache/apt/archives/.
Or make your own local copy of the entire archive.
Indeed. apt-cacher is great when you admin a network of Devuan boxes.
#193 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf 3.0.0 is here! » 2020-06-04 19:09:27
added some parameters to make it a bit speedier for usb
Could you give us any hint (may be in another topic)?. It sound interesting to me. Thanks.
#194 Re: Off-topic » What other distro are you using (besides devuan)? » 2020-06-04 10:57:56
Old boxes still with ancient Debian versions. Rock solid, by the way.
Raspberry with Raspbian. Not happy, of course.
#195 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf 3.0.0 is here! » 2020-06-04 10:54:15
Congratulations. Excelent work. Thanks to the team.
#196 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Beowulf: user login software synaptic and pulseaudio using tor-browser » 2020-06-02 18:23:34
One step at a time ;-))
Agreed!
#197 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Beowulf: user login software synaptic and pulseaudio using tor-browser » 2020-06-02 11:03:57
But volumicon needs to be started from a terminal with "volumeicon".
Depending on what DE/WM you use, you can also launch it from start programs of your environment. Quite useful when you are already confident that it works for you.
#198 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf Beta is here! » 2020-05-31 20:58:00
Lets hope it was just me.
You and me: two people
Seriuosly. I'm using Beowulf on a series of boxes and it perform very well in all of them.
Expert install is always my choice and then I use a bunch of bash installers to get to my desired status.
#199 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf Beta is here! » 2020-05-31 17:19:07
But I did first try the Expert Install. It went well until partitioning. I could only choose between fat, fat32 and ext2
I've been there. It was my fault because I skipped the step of the install secuence. May be your problem too?
#200 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » (Solved) No sound out of headphones » 2020-05-25 06:48:01
no sound to headphones
I dont know about pavucontrol because I dont use pulseaudio, but I could try to use alsamixer to see the level of headphones.
