Hi, did you try to install the kernel that is in the chimaera
backports repo?

It is version 5.16, the same that will come in Daedalus.

In /etc/default/dbus you can set the IDTYPE to be a RANDOM value.

After a few minutes of starting the same effect is produced as in XFCE
4.16 with the Compositor activated, the screen freezes, the mouse cursor
moves but the buttons do not respond. 

I am now using XFCE 4.10, the version that came with Jessie, with 
Compositor enabled and I am not experiencing screen freezes.

I kept testing and can conclude that AppArmor does not cause the
freezes.

In the case of the PC with an Nvidia graphics card the freezing problem
in XFCE disappears if the Compositor is disabled in the "Window Manager Tweaks"
Settings or using this line in a TTY:
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/use_compositing -s false

I also tried other DEs, for example LXDE worked without problems for me,
on the other hand LXQT freeze immediately after starting it, the same with
Mate. I also tried Enlightenment and it seemed to work without problems, 
although I didn't use it for long. I did all of this in live-mode.

So far it is not clear to me if the freezes in XFCE with the Compositor
enabled, are due to the nouveou driver, or that my graphics card has an old
version of OpenGL (v1.2) and 64MB or that the 3GB of RAM in the system are
insufficient.

I experience screen freezes after a few minutes of starting XFCE.
This Alpha version of Devuan Chimaera loads normally, but after opening
an application or interacting with the OS, the screen simply freezes,
the mouse pointer moves but none of the click buttons respond, I just
have to do REISUB to restart the OS using the keyboard.

ISO used: devuan_chimaera_4.0.alpha_2021-07-16_amd64_desktop-live.iso
Device used: USB stick

Hardware:
1. Netbook, CPU: Intel Atom N2600, GPU: Integrated controller, RAM: 2GB.

In this netbook the problem leave to appear afterwards to edit the GRUB
to turn off the load of AppArmor, with apparmor=0.

2. Desktop PC, CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+, GPU: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440,
RAM: 3GB.

In this PC the problem did not disappear deactivating AppArmor.

Possibilities:
- Too old hardware?
- AppArmor?
- XFCE, now 100% with GTK3?

Hi, I downloaded: devuan_chimaera_4.0.alpha_2021-07-16_amd64_desktop-live.iso,

The desktop looks the same as the screenshot except for the wallpaper,
the wallpaper with the Devuan logo does not appear, it has a generic

gnome is mentioned because it is the DE that is installed by default in

Hi again, thank you very much for all the suggestions that you shared
with us.

Finally we find a solution.

What was the problem? If we created an ISO image of Devuan Beowulf with
Mate, and we wanted to run d-i from live mode, it did not run in GUI
mode, it opened in text mode. Using su-to-root and pkexec.

On the other hand, if we tried the same from a Devuan Beowulf ISO with
XFCE or LXQt, it works without problems. Using su-to-root, d-i runs in
GUI mode. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After trying in many ways, we managed to get the launcher to work in the
Mate version using this command:

`pkexec mate-terminal -e /usr/sbin/debian-installer-launcher`

We were left wondering why in XFCE it works with su-to-root and with
Mate we have to resort to launching it using pkexec in that way?

Thanks again :)


PS: In this URL: http://distro.misiones.gob.ar/ultima/beta/ 
are the beta versions where we were doing the tests,
there is a version with XFCE, another with Mate and one that includes
both. The version with Mate has already corrected the command in the d-i
launcher on the desktop, but you can try running from the terminal with:
`su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/debian-installer-launcher` or 
`pkexec /usr/sbin/debian-installer-launcher` to see the behavior.

gksu is no longer available from Beowulf. Now, apparently, you have to
use: pkexec

I'm in touch with the GNU/EterTics developer and he's having trouble
running d-i from Live Mode on a beta version with Beowulf he's testing.

He used to launch the d-i from Live mode using this command:
`su-tu-root-X-c /usr/sbin/debian-installer-launcher`, but su-tu-root is
no longer available.

When he wants to launch the d-i from Live mode using this command:
`pkexec /usr/sbin/debian-installer-launcher` , the installer does not
start in GUI mode.

Yesterday we tried several alternatives, like this one, but without
success:

We tried running it this way: 
`pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY
/usr/sbin/debian-installer-launcher` , with this it tries to open a
window, but closes immediately. 

We couldn't get pkexec to run the d-I in GUI mode from live-version. 
Nor is there much documentation about its use available.

Has anyone been through this using pkexec?

[DNG] Kernel version error

2019-09-20 Thread Gastón via Dng
Hello, yesterday I asked on the irc channel for this topic:
http://maemo.cloud-7.de/irclogs/freenode/_devuan/_devuan.2019-09-20.log.html#t2019-09-20T01:18:03

We are having a problem with different versions of the kernel when we
generate an ISO.

The error:
"Error in kernel version.
The kernel of the Live system and the kernel of the installer does not
match.
The installer can only be used if the kernel versions of the live system
(4.9.0-11-amd64) and the installer (4.9.0-9-amd64) are the same.
Please restart with the correct kernel (4.9.0-9-amd64)."

The same thing already happened in May and was solved by doing a rebuilt
of the installer.

Any ideas on this problem?

Re: [DNG] Problem doing apt-get update

Hello, few weeks ago I had these errors, I asked on the IRC channel and
it turned out that it was some kind of problem of synchronization of the
server to which I was redirected deb.devuan.org. 

If you try to update again, still having these errors?

What package do you use?

`linux-image-{amd64|i386}` or `linux-image-3.16.0-8-{amd64|i386}`?

I had install the last kernel update manually from jessie-security repo:
`linux-image-3.16.0-8-amd64`

if do you have `linux-image-{amd64|i386}` it should be autoupdate with a
`apt upgrade`
