this iso is great, works great

why gnome apps

Hi, s243a

The debootstrap package from devuan should be downloaded and installed from the script.
They changed address, but still works for me (redirect)

Code: Select all

--2018-10-23 09:57:01--  https://packages.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.87%2Bdevuan1.1_all.deb

But apparently doesn't work for you, anyway, re-attached here with changed address to: http://pkgmaster.devuan.org
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 908#996908

So the debootstrap part of the new script is:

Code: Select all

# download and install devuan debootstrap deb
wget --no-check-certificate http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.89-devuan2.1_all.deb -O debootstrap_1.0.89-devuan2.1_all.deb
dpkg -i debootstrap_1.0.89-devuan2.1_all.deb    # install devuan debootstrap

########## Set up debootstrap ##########
echo -e "\e[0;36mSetting up debootstrap in stretch/chroot\033[0m"
echo -e "\e[0;36mThis may take a while...\033[0m"
mkdir -p stretch/chroot && cd stretch &&
debootstrap --arch=$ARCH --variant=minbase --include=apt-transport-https,ca-certificates ascii chroot http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/

I'm tyring the script now on TazPup.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 43#1008843

I'm not booting from it though. I'm using the generated folders for a chroot environment. I didn't see the following packages generated from the build: apt, apt-utils, dpkg, aptitude.

This surprise me because I thought that debootstrap would fetch these packages. Maybe I accidentally deleted them? Anyway, I'm gong to add these packages that I think are missing to the "Base-Install" part of the GUI and see what happens.

EDIT: Reading your post again, I think you didn't run the mklive-devuan script, but ran debootstrap command only, if so, see above for the code.
(and, as discussed earlier in this thread, the Devuan debootstrap package has support for Debian also, so no problem to have it installed (replacing the Debian package))

Fred

That's correct. At first I just tried the debootstrap command. I want to learn the differences between your script and the instructions at:
https://devuan.org/os/documentation/dev ... al-install

Edit: I think the problem was that I needed to install perl.

Edit2 I might have to install dpkg-deb or create a wrapper function for busybox. I get the following error running the dpkg command:

dpkg-deb: unrecognized option '--fsys-tarfile'

Command line: dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile .//var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_9.9+devuan2.5_all.deb

-e Extract control files to DIR (default: ./DEBIAN)

-X Verbose -x
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Edit 3
both dpkg and util-linux-bash-completion were available via the tazpup package manager. I'll try again

[fredx181]

Hi s243a, out of curiosity I tested on tazpup.
Indeed perl and dpkg are required, and to make the mklive script run properly, also wget and cacerts need to be installed from package manager.
Also when I tried on my sda5 partition I got a permission error (although logged in as root), didn't investigate that further (maybe needed to remount different way ?) so did the build in /root and went fine.

Fred

[zagreb999]

A little upgrade snafu.

A bunch of stuff showed for upgrade today, so I "Marked all upgrades" in synaptic and then his apply.

It aborted the upgrade, and this message popped up.

I unmarked gtkdialog and did "apply" again and the update completed without error.

So it seems there is some sort of versioning conflict between gtkdialog and gtkwdialog.

Ah, yes, thanks.
The new gtkdialog package (which includes gtkwialog in /usr/bin) should remove older gtkwialog package when installing.
It will do now, if I did right, can you confirm ?

...

Another consequence of my mistake...
You may not need it, but anyway fixed that by removing precord 9.0.5 from repo, so now 9.0.3 is newest version (that can be installed as it doesn't depend on gtkwialog).
Also added new version package of cast2chrome (was also depending on gtkwialog)

Fred

[wiak]

Fred

I think you mean removed new version. I'll probably revert both Precord and cast2chrome so both will work with gtkdialog (and thus gtkwialog) now that the -b option is not so important since gtkwialog supports bash on dash systems out of the box now.

Anyway, Precord is the ancestor of weX, hence closely related to it, and a small script really, so likely just to become part of future weX as I've said elsewhere.

Hi wiak, no, I bumped up the package version (now 0.0.4-2)
Has in Depends: line : gtkdialog (>= 0.8.7-wiak-B-1)
It's your fixed version (to make it work with gtkwialog 0.8.5 (or higher)):
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 458#999458

All a bit confusing maybe because the newest gtkdialog package version (0.8.7-wiak-B-1) contains gtkwialog binary (and gtkdialog is symlink to it)
This construction seemed to me the most logical (and easiest )

deblive 32 bit xfce

djview 4.10.6

there is not gtk

both apps can not see hard
drives?!
installed qt5ct-again no hard
drives!!!

what i have to do?

[rijsmier]

For my networking I switched to cell phone USB tehering connection. Using ObDog (Devian and Devuan versions) I can connect using frisbee without any problems. I then tried a Xfce4 version and frisbee installs but it does not show or connect when I try to open it. (It needed rfkill to be pre-loaded.)

I also tried connman with the same result.

I can't get peasywifi to work.

[fredx181]

Hi rijsmier,

I will test later today xfce build + frisbee and edit this post with my findings.

EDIT: Indeed some things are not right with frisbee on xfce4, the network tray icon doesn't show and not all splash dialogs displaying.
I think I've found a fix for it but need to test more, continued tomorrow.
In the meantime, maybe you can make it work using peasywifi (with the help of rcrsn51's suggestions).

Fred

[rcrsn51]

I can't get peasywifi to work.

USB tethering often works by creating an Ethernet interface named usb0.

Open the Ethernet tab and click the I/F button.

Then use the Names tool to enable it. Follow the instructions. Click Reconnect.

Also, if you are having rfkill problems, install the latest version of peasywifi from Fred's repo.

Check for rfkill blocks using the Status button.

Perhaps you managed with peasywifi already, but anyway, added new frisbee (fixed) package to repos v 1.2-20181120 , install with Synaptic or apt-get:

Code: Select all

apt-get update   # update package lists
apt-get install frisbee

Fred

[rijsmier]

Sorry for the delay, had other things to do.


@rcrsn51

Thank you for your reply - but I could not get peasywifi to work.


@fred

Thank you, your frisbee-2018 version works correctly.


*But* I had to go straight into your github Included file to get it. Neither apt-get install or synaptic could find frisbee-2018 - after update or reload.

What I see in synaptic (Origin) is testing/Unknown and testing/main for fredx181.github.io . So it looks to me as if your Included file is not being looked into where frisbee-2018 is.

synaptic reports frisbee-2018 as the installed version and frisbee-2017 as the latest version.

All the above applies to DDog and ObDog for both the Stretch and Devuan builds.

-----------------------------------------

On another subject. I had a look at ceni and it works perfectly for usb tethering. Unfortunately it pulls in a lot of other files.

Glad it works for you now.

Yes, that's right, I assumed 2018 version would be seen as newest but obviously not.
Made it now version 1.2-20181120-dd and it shows as upgradable in Synaptic.
(for you it makes no difference because the package is exactly the same as you have now installed)

Thanks for reporting.

Woefully audio doesn't work in youtube. Audacious works fine. My laptop likes pulseaudio, so I installed all I could find, but pulse still doesn't work. Won't connect to server. Arrrggggg!

Hi Fred,

I'm coming back to this old post despite pulseaudio working fine for me on my XenialDog64 system with pulseaudio --start (despite a root user warning message).

On some other systems, for example, BionicPup64, I found a /etc/pulse/default.pa configuration issue that was preventing pulseaudio daemon starting up (resulting in a E: error message). Details here:

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 09#1011109

Note that the above 'fix' is probably just for systems that don't have console-kit installed or installed correctly. I haven't tested that. As I say, I don't need any of the above on XenialDog64 or BionicDog64; on these systems module-console-kit seems to load just fine anyway.

Hi Fred & all,

Family member just ran into this updating my Deb 9 (Stretch) build.....never had a problem before using Synaptic to update everything. This is a first. Here's a pic, of the update using terminal, to show what the problem is, occurred on trying to update chromium (which always worked no problems before):

[fredx181]

Hey Belham,

Sorry, I can't reproduce your issue, tried by first installing chromium 69, reboot with save and then install v70, no problem for me.

Did a web search for: dpkg "unable to make backup link of" , not much info (and I can't test), maybe you can try ?

Fred
