Re: [DNG] Question re: screen blanking and shutoff

2022-07-28 Thread Ludovic Bellière via Dng

You need to understand how your Desktop environment is being initialized. It is
started by the Display Manager, thus inherit whatever environment variable is
sourced by the DM. To have the DM be aware of custom variables, it needs to
source that information from a file from your home directory. The file itself
depends on the DM and/or DE, on how it's been written, because this hasn't been
standardized.

At the core, all they are doing is starting a Xorg session. Which means that
/etc/X11/Xsession is being involved. I remember having to change something in
order to make xfce aware of additional PATH entries, but I since then changed my
DE to KDE. I can't remember the steps I had to take. It probably has to do with
a file present in /etc/xdg/xfce4

You could try your luck with ~/.xsessionrc though.

Cheers,
Ludovic

Do it before running any SDL programs, so that they can see that
environment variable when they run.  But if you don't know which are SDL
programs, then setting it system wide might help.

Meeble is Marjorie's domain, and message-ids and in-reply-tos often

No I think there is an issue with the DKIM authentication on the DNG
mail server and it's affecting not just Stefan and myself. It's not
affecting emails that are copied directly to me (which is why I thought
Marc's reply was clear).

On various list emails from the list my RSPAMD log is showing:

R_DKIM_REJECT (1) [proximus.be:s=rmail]
R_DKIM_REJECT (1) [meeble.net:s=202002]
R_DKIM_REJECT (1) [gregn.net:s=default]
R_DKIM_REJECT (1) [gmail.com:s=20210112]

the bit in brackets depends on the sender to list. I'm pretty sure that
gmail, for example, wouldn't be throwing an issue at their end.

On my mail server this authentication failure simply increments the
spam score by 1, not sufficient to put it into spam or to reject
outright. On Stefan's server, which seems to be stricter on DKIM it
leads to a rejection and him not seeing DNG emails.

NB. My first reply attempt to list used an alternative email address
(marjo...@meeble.net) at my end, which no doubt would have been
correctly rejected by the DNG server.

Re: [DNG] Firefox unwilling to install extensions

2022-07-28 Thread Ludovic Bellière via Dng

Hey marc,

Nothing you wrote made sense to me. Not only my firefox is perfectly capable of
installing extensions, the problem(s) you describe seems from another planet. Or
from somebody having a mental breakdown.

If you load a temporary addons, why would would believe that it ought to be
permanent? More over, have you verified that your profile folder is writable?
Check about:profiles, the extensions folder should be full of xpi files.

Maybe your container resets its file system after each usage though, and only
keep specific files in specific paths… Who knows?!

You have an exotic setup, and are probably the only one that understands it. In
any case, firefox is probably not to blame here.

Cheers,
Ludovic


PS: I have no idea about the core issue, and I know nothing about lxc. So I just
threw some ideas around. Though explaining what lxc does might be more
helpful.

Hello list

I am running various versions of devuan (chimera, but also beowulf) in
lxc containers, and the versions of firefox shipping with devuan
refuse to install extensions on a permanent basis.

I can go to

"add-ons and themes->manage your extensions->cog->debug add-ons->load temporary 
add-on"

and get things like noscript to run, but sadly that doesn't last.
This is on firefox 91.11.0, and also some earlier versions.
The other install methods prompt me for an accept/install, and
then just do nothing...

I am just holding it wrong and is there a magic setting which will
let me install addons permanently ? I did go to about:config, and after several
obnoxiously patronising warnings, set the "xpinstall.signatures.required"
to "false". Alas, that did not seem to make a difference.

I did disable all the telemetry (including the live blocklist
downloads, etc)... Maybe the logic baked into firefox only lets one
install extensions if one consents to regular body cavity searches ?

Or maybe there is logic to detect containers so that the all seeing
eye can require live humans with camera and microphone to present
themselves to the browser ? I have "lxc.cap.drop = sys_module mknod net_raw"
and an intermediate proxy set...

Suggestions are appreciated - my "apt-cache search" did not show
anything called iceweasel, nor palemoon, nor waterfox. Would it be possible
to include these in the devuan repository, or perhaps (a thankless
task, I believe) build a version of firefox with no user-hostile
logic enabled. Though one imagines that would have the benefit
of halving the executable size.

I am not keen to install anything chrome related or derived - that
hands google yet more initiative for the offensive addition
of ever more web mis-features. I think this used be called the
upgrade treadmill in the paid-for software era.

Though admittedly I am also beginning to suspect that google only
keeps mozilla around as pet, to trot out when the regulators
stir in their slumber and mumble something about anti-trust
or market distortion.

Is that as dire as I think ?  Should I start planning
a full escape into the gemini universe ? Or is there still
hope - is it still possible to assemble a browser+configuration
which is featureful, ad-free and privacy respecting, to suit up in,
to climb out the airlock and venture forth out into the corporate
wasteland that is the modern web to scavenge a last few bits of
useful information, underneath the heaps of used dopamine
syringes, ad-excrement and other web-addict paraphernalia ?

marc

Looking at the headers on recent posts (not just those from you) from
the DNG list I'm now seeing the following:

Authentication-Results: mail.dyne.org; dkim=fail reason="signature
verification failed" (2048-bit key; unprotected) header.d=gmail.com
header.i=@gmail.com header.b="dZ8HIihF"; dkim-atps=neutral

Different servers and their spam filters have different policies as to
what is acceptable and outright rejection is always possible: as these
are silent then you'll never know how many spam or legitimate emails
are getting rejected as the emails never get to your spam folder - on
my server a majority of obvious spam never gets to my spam folder as it
is clearly malformed (no valid reverse DNS, for example). 

I have my own postfix server with rspamd and it's not rejecting DNG due
to the DKIM authentication but it's possible yours may do. And as it's
my own server I also do get to see summary information about all
rejections. 

This is a recent change on the DNG list server so it probably needs
fixing.

Interestingly I'm not seeing it in Marc reply, so maybe it /has/ been
fixed! 

Irrespective, it may be your mail server provider is a bit too strict.

SDL is a popular graphics layer, nothing to do with steam.  Though
perhaps steam and lots of games use it.  Some video players use it, lots
of games use it, in my case it was a 3D virtual world client that I leave
runnig all day, coz I run virtual worlds.  So non games use it to.

So I count about 33 mails since the 18th, with the following 8 threads:

 Chimaera on a Banana Pi R1 / Lamobo R1
 Openvpn CVE fix in devuan chimaera
 Firefox unwilling to install extensions
 OpenVPN 2.5.1-3+devuan1 packaging vs best
 APT configuration directives info
 UEFI, software RAID1, LVM and encryption
 Question re: screen blanking and shutoff
 no mails from dng :-( [maybe OT]

It is worth noting that mail from the devuan list
currently seems to arrive via mail.dyne.org aka
ns3218761.ip-162-19-139.eu [162.19.139.95]

While technically not essential, it might be good to make
sure there is a proper/matching reverse entry
for 162.19.139.95, as a number of heuristics block
or graylist senders who don't have that.

I haven't checked if the archive at mailinglists.dyne.org
is accessible, but it is up one can check there
too to see if a list has been active.

Actually: my rather ranty post on firefox 
extensions also didn't get any responses - 
I had concluded that nobody cares, but perhaps
it got dropped/marked as spam by quite a 
number of MTAs.

Hello Stefan,

DNG is definitively sending emails, however some host will silently
filter out emails without telling you why. I'd suggest either contacting
your host, or changing for a service that is more respectful of your
freedoms.

Ludovic
