openwrt recommendations

2019-01-30 Thread Robin Humble via luv-main
Hiya,

my venerable linksys wrt54gs running openwrt is still going strong, but
probably can't handle NBN 100 Mbit even on lobotomised HFC, so I guess
it's time for a new router...

any recommendations for a 2+ port gigabit and (I guess) AC WiFi that
can hopefully run openwrt ok for the next decade?


I don't need or want any USB or NAS or gaming.
ATA for landline optional.

I looked at newer linksys wrt32x but they're $450 from jb (prob $250
from amazon but they don't seem to ship to .au (again)) and also
they're outliers running marvel chipsets.

after that I just get confused in the maze of 100's of routers that
could run openwrt vs. what you can buy today that's an ok price.

I'm open to other options if they're interesting or cheaper/better -
eg. little arm boards with a couple of gige ports and ac wifi as long
as they run centos/fedora/openwrt or similar.

thanks!

cheers,
robin

Re: moving partition

2019-01-30 Thread Paul van den Bergen via luv-main
none of my suggestions, though humorous, are helpful...

disk partition level thinking doesn't consider file system level thinking
is probably the correct answer, which incidentally also explains why some
hypervisor snapshots suck chunks...

moving partition

2019-01-30 Thread Nic Baxter via luv-main

Hi All

I am moving a 1TB NTFS partition 200MB to the right using gparted and of 
course it is very slow. I don't understand why gparted is moving all of 
the data. Why not just move 200MB and add it to the end of the 
partition? My googling only tells me how to do it but not why.


Cheers

Nic

/var/log/Xorg.0.log

if there are errors while X is starting up, they'll be in here.  Look especially
for lines with "(EE)" (errors) and maybe also "(WW)" (warnings).


~/.xsession-errors

stderr from window managers, desktop environments, GUI apps, etc is logged here.

there will probably be a lot of "noise" drowning out the signal, making it
difficult to interpret what is going on, or to identify what the root cause is.

GUI problem

2019-01-30 Thread stripes theotoky via luv-main
I had a perfectly good working Devuan system running testing .(beowulf
/ceres)

Ran some updates a few days ago and everything was working fine.

Rebooted starts normally brings up slim, user name and password as normal
then a black screen.

Switching to a terminal Alt Ctrl F1 allows me to log in.
startx and xinit fail

Obviously the video card is good or I couldn't get to the log in screen or
use the terminal.

The system is using the nouveau video driver.
It was I believe running the Nvidia driver before the updates

Only error I notice on shutdown is that slim is not running which I presume
is due to a failure to startx.

Where do I start debugging this one? Beats me right now.

Stripes.
