#201 Installation » Gdebi would not install packages in graphical installer mode? » 2022-02-19 12:54:22

kapqa
Replies: 9

Hello ,

i am using Devuan 4.0 64bit as Linux OS and am quite please with it, thanks for that!

Noticed the following issue: when i click a .deb file, it would open "package installer" aka "GDEBI",

however, after checking for dependencies, when clicking "Install package" (for installing the .deb file) the window would go away, nothing would happen.

Remember that standard procedure would be being askied for root/ or user password and afterwards package would install properly most of times.

I am using XFCE and have not found a way yet to restore this functinality on Devuan 4.0 , besides using gdebi via terminal, which is a different approach, but i like graphical mode aswell.

Am i missing something?

thanks

@ogis1975, thanks, but the reportbug states

Do you have a "mail transport agent" (MTA) like Exim, Postfix or SSMTP
configured on this computer to send mail to the Internet [y|N|q|?]?
Please enter the name of your SMTP host. Usually it's called something like
"mail.example.org" or "smtp.example.org". If you need to use a different port
than default, use the <host>:<port> alternative format. Just press ENTER if you
don't have one or don't know, and so a Devuan SMTP host will be used.

this should function without any configuration, or am i wrong?

i am getting the issue when trying to report via reportbug

Connecting to mx.devuan.org via SMTP...
SMTP send failure: {'submit@bugs.devuan.org': (450, b'4.7.25 Client host
rejected: cannot find your hostname, [151.62.21.30]')}. You can retry, or save
the report and exit. Do you want to retry [Y|n|q|?]?

checked again, ubuntu seems fine, but it has different entry in /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 127.0.0.53
options edns0
search home-life.hub

whereas Devuan shows (on the same Computer)

nameserver 192.168.1.1
search home-life.hub

EDIT: it seems that after reboot, the OpenNIC setting is deleted; but today, the downloads seem fine, in terminal it takes only around/under 1 second, to initate the download/installing process. It is still noticeably faster on Ubuntu, though.

@xinomilo, wow, big thanks ! using another mirrored fixed.

don§t know what changed, but with this "openNic" the download-things was superfast!

was thinking there is something wrong with my computer or cable , as i noticed also on ubuntu 18.04 LTS a big lag .

I moved the Computer into another room, and the cable is maybe 10 - meter long, and a little bit "twisted" here and there, but everything seems ok , otherwise, just those terminal commands taking way too long for my experience.
for now this seems a great "fix", but still am a bit baffled because of those delays in normal mode.

@Head_on_a_Stick,

Great, thanks!

solution1 > changing to other devuan server in /etc/apt/sources.list did not achieve a betterment.
solution2> changing the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf seems to really make the process go fast, but it would ultimately fail to download the packages?

@xinomilo , thanks i tried this opennic by just inserting

ns7.de.dns.opennic.glue

ontop of /etc/resolv.conf , but apt still takes around 10 seconds to initiate. (less time if smaller packages, but no regularitiy, time varies consistently)

Tried also with aptitude, seems even slower.

ls -la /etc/apt/apt.conf.d

after the first

,

afterwards mostly 0msec , to 7msec.

I dont know if need Avahi, took it only because as sample at hand.

opening webpages most of the times is reasonably speedy.

removing 

mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]

would not make any noticeable difference, if any, it took even longer to initiate the install of packages.

Really odd behaviour, the computer should be capable of being fast enough for simple tasks.

Hello ,

i noticed that when installting packages with terminal commands,

there is a delay of some sort like

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  avahi-autoipd
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 58.2 kB of archives.
After this operation, 120 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

then i click "Enter"

0%working

appears and after 5-10 seconds it actually starts the job of downloading and installing.

Internet speed should be ok (around 130Mbit) , cable also i think.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks mr. fsmithred,

made it habit to install 

apt install gvfs* samba smbclient

on Devuan but that seems not sufficient to access the network share directly by clicking onto the icon.
Im inclined to think there is something wrong with Apple implementation of Samba V2 for Mavericks, because on Devuan 2.0 the mac-side network share is not even visible. but this is just a guess, and certainly also on Devuan it is not so easy to get through to the network share.

here is the same network shown on a Devuan 2.0 laptop,
and here the Rock64 Share is directly accessible and listed as 1 Device (under Devuan 4.0 all Rock64 Network shares are listed, and 1 is "clickable"
please note that 2 Mac Computer should be listed on the Network Shares but no trace of them in Devuan 2.0

EDIT > as for your suggestion n.2 , thanks again, will have to look into that and learn how to do it.

Hello,

i have a Mac running Mac OS X 10.9.5 running as sort of Home Server,

and setup to share several folders over the Network.

Unfortunately, on Devuan 4.0, the only way to access those network shares for me has been to directly insert the IP of the Mac into the taskbar of Thunar, eg.

smb://192.168.1.x

and the entering the network username/password credentials.

Clicking directly on the Network shared Folders in the "Network" Pane Overview in Thunar produces no result.

Could someone please help me to achieve this?

§Thank you

Hello ,

i have seen that on Ubuntu it is easy to Share Folders via Right-click > Local Network Share .

Is there something similar achievable on Devuan running XFCE ?
It should not  be overly complicated, just sharing several folder over the home-network.

On Devuan 4.0

E: Unable to locate package thunar-shares-plugin

Hello,

i have a triple boot syzstem

Windows 7 Pro + on NVME
Devuan 4.0 and Ubuntu 20.04 on 1 SSD

when i installed Ubuntu (Devuan already on the SSD) i deleted the Swap file (that was only 1GB , maybe trough automatic partitioning) and made it bigger to around 8 GB (having 16G RAM)

and lately, when i boot Devuan,

am getting the error:

mdadm: no array found in config file or automatically
mdadm: no array found in config file or automatically
mdadm: no array found in config file or automatically
mdadm: no array found in config file or automatically
mdadm: no array found in config file or automatically
mdadm: no array found in config file or automatically
mdadm: no array found in config file or automatically

several times which delays boot sequence considerably.

could someone please help me to deactivate this mdadm thing?

thank you very much.

thanks head_on_a_stick,

have to retract my previous post, it seems to function actually,
the polars gets recognized "properly",

Platform #0: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing
 `-- Device #0: gfx804

https://imgur.com/a/YQHTE02

Thank you very much!

EDIT: it "seems" to function, probably, is still better wording. don§t think that pulling a 29,2 MB .deb of a 685 MB Archive is capable of doing it the proper way as it supposed, but for some usecases it might be OK.

sorry, but i find the information confusioning,

i any case, it seems that i would not need the "rocm" package as the graphics card installed is older (polaris)

https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/e … cript.html

    ROCr: Provides support for Vega 10 and newer hardware.

    Legacy: Provides support for hardware older than Vega 10.
        (Proprietary, requires EULA acceptance)

problem here is that even with "dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" and the correct timezone (rome) the hour is one h behind.

Hello,

head_on_a_Stick,

thanks for the effort,
but its not functioning.

let§s hope someone brillian come up with an one-liner to install the amdgpu-pro driver (with --opencl=legacy) also for debian/devuan.

Hello,

i have seen this post here

and am wondering if there is possibility to install the latest AMD GPU-PRO Drivers also on Devuan 4.0 running Kernel 5.x.

Thank you.

Hello,

id like to have confirmation this is still functioning in 2021.

Tried today on my smallPC with Devuan Chimaera,
but could not get neither Firefox , nor Chromium or Chrome to stream Amazon Prime Video in HD (only SD quality).
Did install Widevine manually, as it seems missing for Chromium on Devuan 4.0, but it would not play HD nevertheless.
