But when I try to make a free test call, > Skype crashes. I have similar issues. I have skype for Linux on 3 different systems: - stable Gentoo, intel i5, very barebones setup (no pulseaudio, no gnome, just windowmaker) -> restarts at each call - beowulf amd64 -> restarts at each call - i7 with beowulf, everything works. But this one runs xfce and has all its dependencies installed like puleseaudio, udev, etc etc I do not think that it is a version or CPU issue, but something in skype pretending that certain dameons or interfaces running, I did not determine which yet. Since skype became a wrapped web application, it beame a mess and a hog. Riccardo ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

The other alternative I can think of would be to just install the libs from source and comment out the systemd bits. Upgrading sounds painful though. Cheers, Nico I can give it a try building it in a Debian docker container with all dependencies and copy the binaries to the local file system. That would be easier then a complete VM for a few dependencies. Grtz. Nick ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

[DNG] 1st boot failed but repaired OK
Hi all, I am a new user. I installed Devuan 4.0.0 on sdc of my old amd64 PC from the live image which I had dd-ed to a usb stick. The installation seemed to go flawlessly but the first boot failed to find grub (or so it seemed to me.) I ran the live image again and followed advice on the Debian wiki https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstall /sys/firmware/efi/efivars was populated so I reinstalled grub and all was well again. I attach a dmesg just in case it is of any interest. Many Thanks Moss ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I don't do a lot of printing and even less modifying of PDF files but perhaps pdftopdf can be of help here.
