[DNG] Intel Says you Should Not Install its Meltdown Firmware Fixes

https://soylentnews.org/breakingnews/article.pl?sid=18/01/22/218258 Looks like Intel is saying to hold off on the microcode updates for the moment.___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Re: [DNG] Help with Spectre and Meltdown

It looks like the latest Firefox has mitigations in place for spectre and/or meltdown. Chrome will include them in the next update too I believe. https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2018/01/03/mitigations-landing-new-class-timing-attack/ > On 17 Jan 2018, at 23:00, jacksprat

Re: [DNG] Help with Spectre and Meltdown

You can install the intel-microcode package. AMD processors have a similar amd-microcode package. https://packages.debian.org/intel-microcode It looks like the updated microcode with the latest fixes is currently in Debian testing so I guess you could grab it from there directly and install

Ok thanks. In that case I will add the proposed updates repo and then wait for amprolla3. —Tom > On 28 Sep 2017, at 05:23, . fsmithred wrote: > > I don't think anything is coming through ascii-security. This will probably > change when amprolla3 is operational. I expect

[DNG] Apache2 CVE-2017-9798

Does Devuan’s repository have updates for apache2 to fix CVE-2017-9798? I can only see 2.4.25-3+deb9u1 on ASCII while Debian Stretch has 2.4.25-3+deb9u3. —Tom___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org

[DNG] Yunit

Has anyone tried out Yunit on Devuan? It’s a community fork of the Unity 8 code that was abandoned after Ubuntu switched to Gnome for their next release. https://yunit.io/ https://yunit.io/yunit-packages-for-debian-stable-testing-and-unstable/

Re: [DNG] ASCII - clearlooks-Phenix-Purpy style issues

I had filed bug #107 against xfce4-terminal in ascii for this issue but I guess I can close that now if it's caused by the theme. I have also solved my issue by switching to another theme. --Tomas > I never expected Clearlooks Phenix Purpy to work in ascii. Both Xfce and > (I'm pretty sure)

Re: [DNG] Which desktops are available in Devuan?

There's no release for ascii yet. You'll just have to dist-upgrade from jessie if you want to try it. I've been running ascii + experimental/eudev on my work desktop and laptop for a few months without trouble. -- Tomas > I might just settle for the default XFCE for a while, after all: Life

Re: [DNG] Which desktops are available in Devuan?

Have you thought about LXQt? Upstream LXDE stopped development a while back and merged with Razor-qt into the new project running on Qt instead of GTK. Unfortunately it's only in repositories for ascii and later, so not available on jessie. -- Tomas > I've downloaded the CD iso, and will try

Re: [DNG] Uninstallable packages on ascii

FWIW, I've joined a Devuan machine to a Windows AD domain with samba/winbind and have no problems logging in with a domain user from slim when properly setup. I'll admit it's not as nice as lightdm in that it doesn't show a list of previous login names, but it is basically functional as a GUI

Re: [DNG] A shell script for network connections

Hi KatolaZ, I would suggest running setnet.sh through the shellcheck program to lint the script. You can access it online[1] or it should be available in the repository[2]. It has support for checking portability issues[3] (eg. bashisms, POSIX compliance) depending on which shell is specified
