| eyalroz | Hello Devuaners, are you aware of this pam change? https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=54393#p54393 | 00:36 |
|---|---|---|
| comborico1611 | Requesting help: APT cannot connect to deb.devuan.org | 22:45 |
| fsmithred | comborico1611, did you wait and try again? Sometimes the mirror is in the middle of updating. | 22:57 |
| fsmithred | and if you still don't get through you can select a mirror near you instead of using the round-robin. | 22:57 |
| fsmithred | https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt | 22:58 |
| fsmithred | this page shows if mirrors are up or down: https://sledjhamr.org/apt-panopticon/results/Report-web.html | 22:59 |
| comborico1611 | fsmithred, I did not know this. However, I just routed to a mirror site from sources.list | 23:06 |
| fsmithred | you just took whatever deb.devuan.org gave you? | 23:07 |
| comborico1611 | And it is updating/upgrading. I´m actually using your Refracta. I arrived in the Philippines a few days ago. And I have this old crappy laptop. | 23:08 |
| fsmithred | make sure your time zone is set correctly | 23:08 |
| fsmithred | that can confuse apt if it's off | 23:08 |
| comborico1611 | I searched for backup mirrors and found this on dev1galaxy: deb http://devuan.sedf.de/merged daedalus-security main | 23:09 |
| comborico1611 | I did not know that. | 23:09 |
| fsmithred | apt-panopticon says sedf.de is OK | 23:10 |
| comborico1611 | By the way, do you know how to execute emacs graphically as root? | 23:10 |
| fsmithred | in Refracta you can 'su' and then run graphical programs. | 23:11 |
| comborico1611 | I guess the issue is I am accessing root as "su -" environment | 23:11 |
| fsmithred | I think in live-iso you can also do 'sudo <command>' | 23:11 |
| fsmithred | yeah, that won't work. | 23:12 |
| comborico1611 | Love me some graphical... | 23:12 |
| fsmithred | see /etc/default/su for the magic that reverts the behavior of 'su' | 23:12 |
| comborico1611 | Good to know. Thank you. | 23:12 |
| fsmithred | yw | 23:13 |
| fsmithred | somewhere on the forum I posted a list of the config files that I tweaked. | 23:13 |
| comborico1611 | I don't see su in default folder | 23:15 |
| comborico1611_ | (Wrong command for exiting #debian room haha) | 23:19 |
| fsmithred | export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin | 23:20 |
| rrq | comborico1611: I think, to run X11 programs as root in a user's DE, the easiest is to set up for doing "ssh root@localhost -X", and then run whatever X1 program there | 23:21 |
| fsmithred | ^^^ I have that in root's .bashrc in this system (upgraded from beowulf to chimaera) | 23:21 |
| fsmithred | which version of refracta are you running? | 23:22 |
| rrq | comborico1611: e.g: ssh root@localhost -X xterm | 23:22 |
| comborico1611_ | rrq, ty | 23:22 |
| comborico1611_ | fsmithred, not sure. Looking for About System ahaha not very strong Linux user | 23:23 |
| fsmithred | cat /etc/refracta_version | 23:23 |
| comborico1611_ | Installed the latest last yaer | 23:23 |
| fsmithred | uname -r | 23:23 |
| comborico1611_ | 12.0 | 23:24 |
| fsmithred | daedalus | 23:25 |
| comborico1611_ | 6.1.0-11-amd64 | 23:25 |
| comborico1611_ | interesting word | 23:25 |
| fsmithred | yeah, I just booted one of the isos. | 23:25 |
| fsmithred | it's a name | 23:25 |
| fsmithred | father of Icarus and one of the minor planets | 23:26 |
| comborico1611_ | sounds like greek father of the guy with wings and the sun | 23:26 |
| fsmithred | yes | 23:26 |
| comborico1611_ | ahh ok | 23:26 |
| fsmithred | so, I put that path line in /root/.bashrc | 23:26 |
| fsmithred | that's another way to do the same thing | 23:26 |
| fsmithred | 'man su' says to use /etc/default/su. There are a few other things you can put in there, but I've never investigated them. | 23:27 |
| comborico1611_ | I don't need to access it that often. I was just thinking there was some easy trick. I am really just trying to install Lynx text browser for a little job I have here. | 23:29 |
| fsmithred | into a live system, or is this installed? | 23:29 |
| comborico1611_ | At first I tried to install manually with ./configure but... some issue with no makefile. Oh well. I will learn a bit at a time. | 23:29 |
| comborico1611_ | Installed | 23:30 |
| fsmithred | ok, your kernel is pretty old | 23:30 |
| comborico1611_ | Heh | 23:30 |
| comborico1611_ | last year is old now? | 23:30 |
| fsmithred | might want to run apt update && apt upgrade | 23:30 |
| comborico1611_ | I did | 23:30 |
| comborico1611_ | 500 megs of stuff | 23:31 |
| fsmithred | I booted a 12.1 nox iso that I made in october and it has 6.1.0-26 | 23:31 |
| fsmithred | make sure linux-image-amd64 is installed. It's a metapackage that will always pull in the latest stable kernel. | 23:32 |
| comborico1611_ | linux-headers-generic is not installed. (searched: "linux-image-amd64 how to check if installed"). Then, I tried su -, apt install linux-headers-generic. 0 upgraded 0 installed. | 23:36 |
| fsmithred | maybe look in /boot to see if you have a newer kernel but somehow booted an older one | 23:36 |
| fsmithred | dpkg -l |grep linux-image-amd64 | 23:36 |
| fsmithred | or without the |grep in this case, since it's the exact package name | 23:37 |
| comborico1611_ | dpkg -l |grep linux-image-amd64 | 23:37 |

| comborico1611_ | whoa. sorry about that | 23:38 |
| fsmithred | I don't understand. Mine says 6.1.112-1 but 'uname -r' shows newer than yours. | 23:40 |
| comborico1611_ | Computers are mysterious. | 23:40 |
| fsmithred | heh, I need to upgrade. | 23:40 |
| fsmithred | please look in /boot and see if you have one newer than -11 | 23:41 |
| comborico1611_ | I will probably remove myself from this computer for a while, actually. | 23:41 |
