@cakamity,
no, i don't take it personally;
just dislike if my comments are edited out by someone else that has got no authority to do so.
(certainly not you).
keep on running!

@Calamity, have you ever tried Rassoul Clay? Honestly, it's the best treatment!
just wished sometimes it could make the ahair grow back.

think it would be reasonable to put ap a poll to kindly ask user "rations" to come up with a more sensible "signature" ~ poll yes + no ~ non-binding decision ~ so he could accomodate with the spirit of devuan.

ediT ~ just kiddin' (not too much, of course),to nudge, thinkin', on the power of words.

not to be chming out of tune, but be glad if the KDE on X11 or plasma could be enhanced ~
not sure if it is related to KDE, but the main computer was freezing on me twice lately (admittedly running Boinc and several programs at the same time) ~ it quite never happened to me in the same fashion otherwise (still, had other problems, though, mostly with Caja or FileManagers etc.)
This on fresh installation of Devuan Excalibur 6 KDE on X11; not sure what to make out of it, but for the moment i have switched to a minor partition running XFCE and no issues since (besides the Thunderbird getting really slow / unresponsive at times in unified folder view, but that may be related to one specific account).

kapqa · Installation

if you need games , you could test-install the steam.deb that could solve additional dependencies for you=?
afterwards you could just remove the steam, and the driver might remain for you.

wine usually install from wine hq, but there is also program "crossover" if you need specific support (never brought myself to buy a license for it, yet)

Hello ,

today i have installed the Excalibur anew;

with standard setting and standard DE Xfce.

just noticed that the browsing in network is still not supported by default.

maybe this can be amended on the fly for the .iso?

did need install additional package

gvfs-backends  gvfs-fuse  samba  smbclient

thank you very much.

@rolfie,

glad you could get ir running; i couldnt find it in the repos.

thescript is not mine, it is just lent from the net (seems it is derived from crouton , which is used in the past for chromebook on acer, nice project).

if it is not in the repos, the one outlined, it is a viable path.

best of wishes,

This is a writeup on how install Virtualbox on Devuan 6, but should function also for Devuan 5 or 7.

Found that the process can be a bit tricky, so thought it could be helpful to have the information at hand on one page.

This has only been properly tested on a recent AMD system, with KDE as GUI, so i may not function on your Computer likewise.

Please correct if any error or otherwise not functioning;

Download the Software
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
(Linux Distributions) > select (All distributions)
Download also (VirtualBox Extension Pack)!

(Preparatory Steps)
Install Kernel Headers

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

For XFCE additional package needed

sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0

sudo apt-get install qt6-base-dev

1. Install the Software

sudo sh ./VirtualBox-7.2.20-175154-Linux_amd64.run

1.1 Install the VirtualBox Extension Package

sudo virtualbox

(GoTo > Extensions > Install)

1.2 initial configuration

           sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

2. Register Software for SecureBoot
(This step is necessary only if the System is booting with SecureBoot inplace)

sudo mkdir -m 0700 -p /var/lib/shim-signed/mok
    sudo openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -outform DER -addext "extendedKeyUsage=codeSigning" -keyout /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.priv -out /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der
    sudo mokutil --import /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der
    sudo reboot

(give easy password to remember) > reboot > enroll MOK - Key with password you gave

2.1 re-configure virtualbox

sudo rcvboxdrv setup

 sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

now in terminal there should be no more error when evoking "virtualbox;

3. enable external USB-devices functionality
when you start virtualbox most likely you will get error notice "usb not enumerated etc."

create "vbox.sh" with following content

#!/bin/bash

#
# Heavily inspired by https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/VirtualBox-udev-integration
#

vbox_usbnode_path=$(find / -name VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh 2> /dev/null | head -n 1)
if [[ -z $vbox_usbnode_path ]]; then
    echo Warning: VBoxCreateUSBNode.sh file has not been found.
    exit 1
fi

chmod 755 $vbox_usbnode_path
chown root:root $vbox_usbnode_path

vboxusers_gid=$(getent group vboxusers | awk -F: '{printf "%d\n", $3}')

vbox_rules="SUBSYSTEM==\"usb_device\", ACTION==\"add\", RUN+=\"$vbox_usbnode_path \$major \$minor \$attr{bDeviceClass} $vboxusers_gid\"
SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", ACTION==\"add\", ENV{DEVTYPE}==\"usb_device\", RUN+=\"$vbox_usbnode_path \$major \$minor \$attr{bDeviceClass} $vboxusers_gid\"
SUBSYSTEM==\"usb_device\", ACTION==\"remove\", RUN+=\"$vbox_usbnode_path --remove \$major \$minor\"
SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", ACTION==\"remove\", ENV{DEVTYPE}==\"usb_device\", RUN+=\"$vbox_usbnode_path --remove \$major \$minor\""

echo "$vbox_rules" > /etc/udev/rules.d/virtualbox.rules
rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/*-virtualbox.rules
udevadm control --reload
adduser `logname` vboxusers

echo All actions succeeded.
echo Log out and log in to see if the issue go fixed.

make executable

chmod+x vbox.sh

launch script

sudo ./vbox.sh

reboot

4. now virtualbox should be ready for your virtualmachines
create virtual-machine to your liking

start virtualmachine

with AMD you will most likely not be able to launch virtualmachine since there is conflict with kvm module?

5. blacklist kvm_module

sudo modprobe -r kvm_amd

now it should function, you can start virtualmachine properly.

5.1 make blacklist permanent

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/mykvmblacklist.conf

blacklist kvm_amd

save & quit.

in the past i have sometimes used vmware workstation pro, but for some reason or another it does not seem function any longer well on my computer, it always quits after some time on AMD system; but this software is free and easy to download so for the moment will use it when needed, hope it can be helpful.

kapqa · Freedom Hacks

thank you,

happen to be in the fortuante situation tho have

1. relatively fresh install of devuan 6 excalibur
2. third nvme that is about to be purged of botched OS
3. wanted to test-try refracta for quite some time

am i right in assumption that with this tool could:

1. make a bootable clone of my fresh install onto a 128 GB usb stick? (would need to exclude only the virtualbox vm's to fit onto 128GB ust-stick)
2. deploy this copy-clone afterwards onto the nvme?

remember to have used knoppix in the past on a portable usb, that was when firefox was still in early version numbers and iceape was still roaming around, and i kinda liked it.

but now sudo seem no longer operational

sudo apt update

the AI friend can bhe helplful ~ normally consult only on "technical" issues, everything else is out of range, of course (well, he's is listening, and not amuesed,

edti: have recoverred from "sudo chwon -R root:root /usr" with the

however the issue still stands; am wondering if such a one-liner can have such destrcutive effect; but for now would have to answer affirmative; he has played me, again.

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

Hello ,

i have tried to install virtualbox-7.2 lately and initially run into some issues;
since friendly AI was eager to help out, did let him go easily on this, or rather took him to seriously ~
well , in short, i messed up the system.

since the virtualbox-extensions would not install, and if yes, give error, asked for advice, that coame very forthcoming;

probably the entry

sudo chown -R root:wheel /usr

killed it, since then have lots of issues on this partition, like

Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFaild: Failed to execute program.org.freedesktop.PackageKit: [b]Permission Denied[/b]

and lots of permission denied error;

also, the start-menu has shrunken, and there is no longer option to shutdown or restart , just "leave", eg. "lock" "log-out" and "switch-user".

Hopefully someone know of a good method to set the permission back straight, so can continue use the OS properly;

Thanks.

Hello ,

have accidentally shot down my partition so it took me some time to recover

have noticed that on another partition the kernel is already above 7 (for excalibur, via bpo)

now on this new install, the kernel via backports does not seem wanna install;

maybe i did something wrong, otherwise please consider it as an "error bugreport" posted here instead of official bugreport.

getting this

thanks, that functioned!

possibly had them already on hold, since i followed your guide-manual, but it may have been "overwritten" by a sneaky update.
(or possiblier the apt-mark hold was not fully implemented since it might have missed the pulseaudio and hence the new updates could fool me around)

thanks ever so much, invaluable help.

kapqa · Freedom Hacks

it is just loosely connected,

but am using devuan 7 and have noticed in latest "updates" the pipewire crept back in.

now it functions like on raspi os it seems , when you uninstalling pipewire, it automatically installs pulseaudio for you , and viceversa.

can someone please offer a highway out of this dilemma? thanks.

fair enough, have noticed the AI "responsd" anyways,or is trying as such, depending on configuration of course.

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

hello ,

would not like to look like a fool around here, but what "error" message made you conclude that the firmware is not correctly "deployed"?
that you could not login properly or not get a working GUI with the 7700s attached, or how else did you come to that conclusion?

having a hard time believing that hte 7700s would not funciton on Devuan 6 or 7, but am open to amazement.

if you however tried to install those drivers here
https://www.amd.com/en/support/download … ivers.html
that however could explain having issues since those drivers normally odnt function onn devuan linux , and are only since lately supported on debian (at least last time i tried it functioned).

i am surprised at the turn of the events. where you being offered a new mainboard or what prompted the replacement?

this is what AI overview offered

Die AMD Radeon RX 7700S ist direkt im Linux-Kernel und im freien Mesa-Grafikstack integriert; es müssen keine proprietären Treiber manuell installiert werden

Das Paket firmware-amd-graphics muss auf Ihrem System installiert sein (bei den meisten Distributionen standardmäßig vorhanden

lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga

there should be mention of "amdgpu" in the result. also recommended by friend AI what the "vulkaninfo --summary".

so much for a fools errand.

the shortcut proposed should suffice for the task at hand;

here are some hardinfo2 result for comparision

(result not so relevant for Devuan)

CPU Blowfish (Single-thread) 16x 5582.00 MHz 58.44|
CPU Blowfish (Multi-thread) 16x 5582.00 MHz 556.95 |

SysBench CPU (Single-thread) 16x 5582.00 MHz 6342.99
SysBench CPU (Multi-thread) 16x 5582.00 MHz 50505.06

(these probably more influenced by OpenSource Drivers)

funnily GPU drawing got values for RX 7600 in the realms of NV 4070TI

GPU Drawing

(AMD Radeon RX 7600 2454.93) < (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER/PCIe/SSE2 2513.84)

~~and for GPU OpenGL Drawing came out one top?~~

(AMD Radeon RX 7600 4595.50) > (Radeon RX 7900 XTX 3512.29)

GPU Vulkan drawing not so fast

(AMD Radeon RX 7600 26607.16 ) < (AMD Radeon 8060S 43247.77)

kapqa · Hardware & System Configuration

have you tried installing the latest system drivers?
i reember found it difficult to find the proper driver packages for one NUC i bought 11th gen one time ] ~~there should be one file that has them all,~~ maybe you need a BIOS update;
uneducated guess, sorry.

ah, you got a ASUS NUC, that made it possibly more asiy to find the system driver. if anything, thats my guess.

kapqa · Installation

you could do "sudo tasksel" and install from within xfce4 the cinnamon; maybe it got mixed up, and is missing some items; so you could clear it for you. with dual or more GUI things tend to becom messy, sometimes, unfortunately.

kapqa · Desktop and Multimedia

it may be irrelevant with the task at hand , but with captcha i normally click once twice forwared to get to the section where it asks me to pick from the 9 quadrants all several those that match the [requested] until finished.
i may be stupid but those other quesits where it asks me to select the quadrants where is a say a bike from a whole picture of 9 quadrants, i quite always dont succeed, it must be just too technical for me. (or i dont get the whole picture on those)
