1 x Arch Linux ("media player" laptop connected to television--has not been updated since 2015)
Lol.
Ive got a usb somewhere with pacbang on it, think that was around 2015 maybe, should try and find it and see if it will update
You'll have to update it in stages and go through all of the old news articles for the user interventions. The archives can be used to update to specific dates.

Use ceres instead, you'll get the upstream fixes quicker with that.
#2279 Re: DIY » [HowTo] runit-init as PID1 » 2020-07-17 21:09:21
My mouse cursor freezes under runit and I have no choice but to shutdown with power button. I'm on Chimaera/testing.
It's called "testing" for a reason 
I use `exec dbus-launch openbox-session &` with ~/.xinitrc
You shouldn't need dbus-launch or ~/.xinitrc.
Try
rm ~/.xinitrc
# update-alternatives --set x-session-manager /usr/bin/openbox-session
startxIf the desktop still doesn't work properly then please open a new thread about the problem and include the X.Org log file.
When I ran `# apt install runit-init`, it said:
... dpkg: sysvinit-core: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you requested: init depends on sysvinit-core | runit-init: however: Package sysvinit-core is to be removed. Package runit-init is not installed. ... Unpacking runit-init (2.1.2-36) ... Setting up runit-init (2.1.2-36) ...And there was no question asked like, "To continue type in the phrase" etc. Is this normal?
I only tried the technique with beowulf but that certainly didn't happen for me.

#2281 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] How do I install Kodi on Devuan? » 2020-07-16 19:53:27
That's an interesting approach, does Guix also install the packages that are needed for hardware video acceleration?
Kodi is also available as a Flatpak: https://flathub.org/apps/details/tv.kodi.Kodi
#2282 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] How do I install Kodi on Devuan? » 2020-07-15 19:07:53
I see Kodi is not available on Devuan repos.
It was removed from Debian testing because that version depended on Python2 (which is now EOL):
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … =%23936805
Wait for v19, that will depend on Python3 instead and should be re-introduced. Hopefully before the bullseye freeze...

Well that's not right. Try installing elogind instead.
The upper screenshot is from ASCII and the lower one from Beowulf, in both cases. I much prefer the visual appearance in the screenshots from ASCII because the fonts don't show any blur there.
How strange. Try disabling hinting then.
Beautiful, isn't it?
Erm, no. Just no. 
#2284 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] After upgrade to Beowulf: Issues with graphics, keyboard and mouse. » 2020-07-08 20:38:11
Running
# dpkg-reconfigure eudevdid not change anything here, unfortunately.
We should probably check the X.Org log file then.
things are still pretty bad compared to ASCII
Just for clarity, which of the screenshots is from ASCII? To my eyes the lower shots look *much* better, would you agree?
EDIT: and are you really using the Raleigh GTK theme? 
#2285 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » 'scim' input method stopped working on beowulf » 2020-07-08 20:36:17
I resolved my issue by creating a ~/.Xsession file in home directory
Probably better to add the scim stuff to ~/.xsessionrc, that should be applied to any and all graphical desktops.
The environmental variables could be exported from /etc/environment (or in their own file under /etc/environment.d/).
#2286 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] After upgrade to Beowulf: Issues with graphics, keyboard and mouse. » 2020-07-07 19:28:20
Each problem should really have it's own thread to aid SEO.
But anyway...
I was able to load the driver module manually by becoming root and then running modprobe i915 when using the 4.19 kernel, giving me back the usual view in the TTY.
Now, how would I ensure it gets loaded during boot?
Add the i915 driver to /etc/modules (or in it's own file under /etc/modules-load.d/) and then rebuild the initramfs:
# update-initramfs -u -k allKeyboard and mouse unresponsive after starting X
Try
# dpkg-reconfigure eudevFonts in X
Hinting issue, perhaps?
# dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-configOr play around with Xfce's font settings.

thermald, has only systemd script /lib/systemd/system/thermald.service . No /etc/rc* or /etc/init.d/ script for startup.
You can convert a systemd unit file to a sysvinit script with sysd2v.
#2288 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » WiFi Question » 2020-07-06 20:24:25
Installed, rebooted and nothing happens. Modprobe says that this is no module "rtl8723de" in lib/modules/4.19.0-9-amd64
The modprobe command loads kernel modules rather than firmware.
Can we see the output of
# dmesg | grep firmware#2289 Re: Installation » Errors encountered processing: libgstreamer-gl1.0-0_1.14.4-2_amd64.deb » 2020-07-06 20:19:22
The output for both of these commands was the same as follows.
Dear me, your sources are a mess. The deb-multimedia repositories definitely break things (as we've seen) and I don't trust the other foreign sources either. Probably best to reinstall from scratch and try to stick to Devuan's repositories in future if you want to avoid these issues.
See also https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian (s/Debian/Devuan/g).
If you think that the emergency "downgrade" idea is a better option, should the apt-get update and apt-get -o dir::cache::archives="/disc/" dist-upgrade commands (as per my post #21) be used in place of your suggestion for apt update and apt full-upgrade.
The apt command is a user-friendly wrapper for apt-get &c, it is functionally very similar but with a few options changed. I suggested apt full-upgrade because that is recommended by the Debian buster upgrade guide.
When should commands such as apt autoremove and apt-get autoclean be used?
Read man apt-get, that explains what those options do.

unpack it to /tmp, mv to /opt/firefox
I prefer to unpack it in $HOME so that it can update itself without having to be run as root.
#2291 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » How to properly unpack and repack initramfs by hand? » 2020-07-05 20:49:45
What is the proper way to unpack and repack the initramfs image if you want to do it by hand (for whatever reason)?
See unmkinitramfs(8) & mkinitramfs(8).
EDIT: this sounds like an XY-problem but I don't use encryption so I can't really advise better, sorry.

#2293 Re: Installation » My Upgrade from ascii to beowulf ... a few issues [all resolved] » 2020-07-05 10:03:23
you're saying I don't need an xorg.conf, and I do need elogind?
Yes, that's right. I can't confirm anything about NVIDIA personally (I wouldn't give money to those bastards) but I know that elogind is needed.
I swear, sometimes I feel ancient with newer distros
The only constant is change
#2294 Re: Installation » My Upgrade from ascii to beowulf ... a few issues [all resolved] » 2020-07-04 23:44:37
I am not sure I understand your comment about not needing an xorg.conf file.
I mean that you don't need an xorg.conf file. The NVIDIA proprietary drivers are now detected and autoconfigured by the X server.
elogind is installed
weishaar@devuan:~$ dpkg -l | grep elogind rc elogind 234.4-2 amd64 user, seat and session management daemon rc libpam-elogind:amd64 234.4-2 amd64 elogind PAM module
Not according to that output — rc indicates that the package is not installed but the configuration files are.

Which package does the text but it is not going to be installed refer to?
I think it's referring to other packages from deb-multimedia, use apt policy to check the available versions and origins of the packages.
Looks like deb-multimedia has really messed up your system, as per usual for that repository.
We could try an emergency "downgrade" to beowulf by using a file at /etc/apt/preferences.d/downgrade with this content:
Package: *
Pin: release n=beowulf
Pin-Priority: 1001Then run
# apt update
# apt full-upgrade#2296 Re: Installation » My Upgrade from ascii to beowulf ... a few issues [all resolved] » 2020-07-04 20:47:39
Using "X -configure" gave me what looked like a good xorg.conf file, but then X wouldn't start claiming the number of screens didn't match my hardware. I copied over the xorg.conf file that I had backed up before the upgrade, and all was good with X.
You shouldn't need an X.Org configuration file at all any more, even if you're using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers.
In respect of your desktop delay, please confirm that elogind is installed.

Yes it does, all of the options for apt-get can be used with apt.

You should probably explain your method, the more detail you include the better the chance we will spot any potential mistakes.

Can you remove the problematic packages?
# apt purge libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 gstreamer1.0-plugins-badIf apt won't do it then try dpkg instead.
Don't use aptitude because it will auto-autoremove that long list of packages.
Not sure I entirely understand what's going on here though, I wasn't really following your other thread and I've never tried to use synaptic to upgrade between releases.
