XenguyDoes anyone happen to know if these instructions to install LibreWolf would work for Chimaera (i.e. oldstable) ?01:08
Xenguyhttps://librewolf.net/installation/debian/01:08
fsmithredXenguy, it looks complicated. I just tried 'dpkg -i librewolf...' and it ran, but there are some missing deps.01:27
fsmithredin particular: librewolf depends on libc6 (>= 2.38); however:01:27
fsmithred  Version of libc6:amd64 on system is 2.31-13+deb11u1101:27
fsmithredthat's chimaera01:27
fsmithredit might be possible to backport it.01:29
Xenguyfsmithred, Thanks for checking.  I'm not surprised as it is probably geared to stable.01:30
XenguyI've never tried building a backport; maybe some day when I have more time I'll consider investigating that01:31
_RandomHi all, please if you can help / Thanks02:06
_Randomwhere can I find the appropiate firmware for this error ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: firmware: failed to load ath10k/pre-cal-pci-0000:01:00.0.bin   PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.11.10-1~bpo12+1 (2024-12-19)   Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter driver: ath10k_pci  firmware-atheros/stable,stable,now 20230210-5 all [installed02:06
_RandomKernel driver in use: ath10k_pci02:08
_ds_Since you're using a kernel from backports, you should also install firmware from backports.02:11
_Randomhow to do that ?02:12
_ds_In this case, it should be firmware-atheros.02:12
_ds_You have a few options. One is “apt install -t stable-backports firmware-atheros”.02:12
_Randomfirmware-atheros Version: 20230210-502:13
_ds_20240709-2~bpo12+1 is in backports.02:13
_Randomthanks, installing apt install -t stable-backports firmware-atheros02:14
_ds_I don't know if that'll get rid of that error (or even if it actually matters), though. Easiest way to find out is to reboot. (Also, installing that package should have caused updates of initramfs/initrd files.)02:17
_ds_(I strongly suspect that it doesn't matter because the filename given includes the PCI address.)02:21
_Random_ds_:  Thanks but you are right still the same issues !02:44
_Random20240709-2~bpo12+102:44
_Randombinary firmware for USB wireless network and  Bluetooth cards02:45
_Randomwhen I run apt info firmware-atheros              i get this, ' N: There is 1 additional record. Please use the '-a' switch to see it' how to resolve this.02:51
rrq_Random: you may ignore that log line. it appears to be some bogus residue in the adapter02:55

CueXXIIITiL: "Devuan" comes from debian and VUA, which stands for "veteran unix admin"08:20
psionicDebian comes from IAM killing muhself Murdoc08:28
psionicI think the real reason he killed himself was not his girlfriend or the police harrassment but systemd08:28

freemhm... trying to pick a devuan iso for remote install, I find the download page pretty confusing. It is just a rather long text followed by an even longer list of probably unsorted mirrors, and the 4-5 I quickly took a look at simply do not seem to give any fast link toward the last stable. I'll manage, ofc, but that is not very inspiring for newcommers. Just saying this to share the thought, in case someone can find time & motivation to improve on this.14:38
freemOne way to improve would probably to get a "latest" link that would redirect to the latest stable (and probably caps-locked so that it is more noticeable)14:40
gnarfacefreem: are you looking at files.devuan.org?14:50
Xenguyfreem, Might I suggest that if you're going to leave feedback about a page, you at least offer a URL?14:51
freemI have looked at it, after noticing the link on the IRC topic, but it have the same problems imo14:51
freemhttps://www.devuan.org/get-devuan14:51
freembut I originally followed this ^14:51
freemwhich is reached when clicking on "download" from the main page14:52
gnarfacefreem: try this one: https://files.devuan.org/devuan_daedalus/installer-iso/devuan_daedalus_5.0.1_amd64_netinstall.iso14:52
freembasically did the normal path14:52
freem"I'll manage, ofc"14:52
freemit's not my 1st time :D14:52
freemit was only to give a feedback14:52
