I have not been able to use UnetBootin with the latest versions. Like 
Daniel, i suspect these may be related to using UnetBootin. Try with dd 
command:


dd if=*.iso of=/dev/sdX   (without the number of the partition, for 
example, sdb instead of sdb1)


Type fdisk -l to get sdX. Just in case, first do it hybrid:

isohybrid devuan*.iso

You need to install syslinux and syslinux-utils.

Why didn't you just use dd (or even cat) to just dump the iso onto the
usbstick.


When I boot a Thinkpad x250 with Alpha 2 iso, it comes up with Missing
parameter error. However, when I provide Install at the Boot: prompt,
it boots to the installer.

However, on a i386 desktop machine for which I would really like to
install devuan, booting the key comes up with Missing parameter in
configuration file: Keyword: path. In this case, there is no Boot:
prompt.

I don't understand these messages or if they are compatible.

I suspect these may be related to using unetbootin instead of just using
dd to write the image to your usb stick.  If doing this doesn't solve
the issue, then please file an issue here:

It is based on devuan, but the installers are different. Devuan installs 
all the *.deb packages in the target; while gnuinos mounts the 
filesystem.squashfs on it. Before compiling the content of the chroot 
jail with the final porpuse of getting the squashfs file, i always 
remove /etc/fstab from the jail. If i don't remove it, the personal home

always do (/,/home/,sawp) manual partition with no issues. It would be

[DNG] Bug in debian-installer

2015-08-18 Thread aitor_czr

Debian-installer creates in /etc/fstab lines like:

/dev/sr0/media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0   0
/dev/sdb1   /media/usb0 autorw,user,noauto  0   0

depending on the used method (cd-rom or usb-stick). Those files are 
superfluous. The following postinstallation script removes them:


ARCHIVO=/etc/fstab
if grep ^/dev/sd ${ARCHIVO} | grep /media/ | grep auto
then
LINEA1=`grep ^/dev/sd ${ARCHIVO} | grep /media/ | grep auto`
LINEA2=## ${LINEA1}

Hi all,

Installing live-images, the process becames unstable depending (i 
suppose) on the size of the filesystem.squashfs file. The following hack 
solves this issue:


https://gitlab.com/aitor_czr/live-installer/commit/cf89c8d49196cc92d183640bd1697599bdcaed99

I'm not the author of the hack. The author of the hack is Philip 
Newborough, aka Corenominal (CrunchBang). Honestly, i didn't analyze the 
code.


But it works.

Hi Edward,

I've never used Lazarus, origin in the missing Kylix C/C++ for

Anyway, i think thatfor your purpose the relevance is not in the

Wyatt:

and instructions on how to become a mirror anywhere?
There's a forum post about it, but the links lead to empty pages on the git 
wiki.

Mirroring debian was/is easy, in the old time you used the perl script
mirror, and later on, rsync via the shell script anonftpsync.

Mirroing devuan seems to be more complex, if you look below
Continuous Integration for Devuan at:

  https://devuan.org/

there is a program amprolla that handles the mix offtp.*.debian.org  
and the devuan packages. You can find amprolla here:


  https://git.devuan.org/devuan-infrastructure/amprolla

from the README.md:

  amprolla is a rude script that generates rewrite rules for nginx that then 
try to merge
  the Devuan repository files ( like InRelease, Packages, Sources and so on ) 
with
  other external repositories ( namely, the Debian one ) in order to provide a 
full
  repository where Devuan packages have precedence over other repos.

  This allows Devuan to have a fully meta distro where missing Devuan packages
  come from Debian and/or other repositories
  (like, for example, the deb-multimedia.org from Marillat) without the need
  to create a fully merged repository.

  It works by downloading and merging files to create the dists/ directory
  structure for Devuan and then creating a pool of HTTP 302 redirects to
  the external repositories hosts for packages download.

So setting up a devuan mirror involves amprolla (python), ngix, and I
assume apache. You can not just copy the files and point boa the the
directory.

I suggest you clone the amprolla repo and study the files there, and
look at packages.devuan.org with a ftp client to see the file structure:

$ lftp packages.devuan.org
lftp packages.devuan.org:~ ls
drwxr-xr-x2 004096 Jun 02 09:29 alpha-iso-cd
drwxr-sr-x5 107  112  4096 Jun 16 00:15 devuan

Mirroring packages.devuan.org through ftp seems easy enough, but one
would probably need help setting up amprolla.

///

On a related note, how do I get a local mirror of devuan (a local
mirror is good to have when you are usually in bad connected places
or you are doing lots of installations/testing) ?

Mirroringftp://packages.devuan.org/devuan/  and having a sources.conf
like:

debfile:/Net/debian  jessie main non-free contrib
debfile:/Net/ftp/packages.devuan.org/devuan/  stable main

doesn't seem to work. What am I missing ?

Several years ago, I actually built up xfce (without the meta

my life as it was very close to what I wanted.  fsmithred has
promised to build a devuan iso for the likes of me.  But he's not
been seen around here in some time and the refracta forums haven't
had much traffic lately . . . maybe because it's summer.  Once the
beta appears I'm hoping he'll spin into action.  Doing this all from
scratch would be a bit of a challenge for me . . . the years are
beginning to take a toll . . .

Hi golinux,

I've known you for what, a year now? My impression is you're smart and
skilled enough to find it almost trivial to install base, then xorg,
then xterm, then a window manager, then lightdm. I've seen you do a
lot more challenging stuff than that, including making very inciteful
contributions to discussions on infrastructure. My impression of
you is that if you put your mind to it, you could install Arch or
Gentoo, and those really do take some concentration and resolution of
ambiguities. But anyway...

I'll admit I've met people who couldn't follow a five step apt-get
sequence, but you're about a million miles from that.

Well, anyway, you were speaking for those guys who can't follow a 5
step recipe, and that's legitimate.*If*  it's decided that the base
install should be minimal, it would be pretty easy to make a
shellscript to do all X installation in one command. If the base
install included nCurses and Dialog, it could even be a no-argument
script that queried for everything:

* Do you want a Graphical User Interface (GUI) (Y/n)

* Do you want to boot straight to Graphics mode? (y/N)

* If booting straight to Graphics mode, require password? (Y/n)

* Which window mgr? (Xfce/LXDE/Openbox/Whatever/Other)

* If Other, please enter the WM name here 

* Thank you. Press Enter to perform this work, press Ctrl+C to abort:


Of course, the prompts would need to be*much*  more tailored to the
uninitiated user, who for instance, doesn't know what a Graphical User
Interface, a window manager are, or why he would or wouldn't want a
password.

The benefit of doing it this way is it's being performed on an already
installed system that's almost guaranteed to boot just fine.

Live-build works fine in Devuan, but you must change the default mirrors

 Yes, you're right, it's too complicated. I was thinking in Ubuntu-eze,
 where the entire distro is designed to never let you boot to command
 prompt. At least up to Wheezy (I haven't used Jessie), Debian was
 designed to allow booting to CLI via installation, in the manner you
 voiced earlier: Install base, install X, install fluxbox, done. In
 Debian (and therefore I assume Devuan), what I described should only be
 used for troubleshooting purposes.

[DNG] hostname set to (none)

2015-08-15 Thread aitor_czr
Hi,

I built the minimal chroot jailgenerated by live-build in devuan, and
the hostname is set to none:

$ hostname
(none)

There aren't underscores in the /etc/hostname file, and the /etc/hosts
is also correct.It happened to me the same some other time starting with
sysvinit, but not with systemd.

Any idea? Thankyou in advance.

Aitor.

Note: I installed live-config-sysvinit, etc... and removed systemd.

Hey Aleskandro, awesome !

It could be a good idea to create a simbolic link to /devuan_version/ 
(named /debian_versio//n)/ in order to avoid any similar case in the 
future, simply adding:


rm -f /etc/debian_version
ln -s /etc/devuan_version /etc/debian_version

to the postinstall script in the debian branch of base-files

Of course this is it. a Ph.D. can be very demanding especially in
writing phase and especially if full-time and including a tuition
contract.

Lets allow people involved to find their own pace as Devuan is still
based on voluntary effort and everyone involved feels enough the urge as
well the peer pressure.

The current development phase is aligning for a beta release, there is a
lot of work going on on many levels, not only technical, but less
urgency for vdev anyway, which won't be substituting udev right away.
It is indeed good to have it packaged, so more people can try and
perhaps it will attract more contributors.

So in case of vdev I have no worries, as Jude is well dedicated and
understand the huge importance of what he is doing, with your help of
course, and also vdev is a concrete outcome of his Ph.D. thesis, so
there is an incentive also in that context to carry it on.

In any case, good that we care about each other. After all it's been one
year now we are sitting around this camp, warming canned beans in pans
over the fire and doing our best to re-build a new town :^) and its

And here the debian branch and pristine-tar (updated):

But only in amd64, because i still can't use pbuilder (cowbuilder fails

But you can build them in a very easy way:


$ git clone https://git.devuan.org/aitor_czr/netman.git
$ cd netman
$ pristine-tar checkout ../netman_0.1.1~468c97d.orig.tar.bz2
$ git-buildpackage -tc --git-export-dir="../build-area"

That echoes something I wrote off-list to the OP.

Having a degree is good because a lot of large employers require it, and many 
other employers/HR agencies use it as a filter. Doesn't have to be a computer 
related one - mine is in Engineering and it's amazing how many engineering 
students don't go into engineering after graduation by choice, it's taken by 
many employers as a good grounding for many other jobs.

I do feel that a "good" basic education in "computer science" (whatever it's called) is 
good. Having a good understanding of the fundamentals means you can pick up and learn whatever language du 
jour/passing fad is. If you only ever learned about data storage, sorting, and so on from the perspective of 
a single high level language, then that may make it difficult to grasp other languages (depending on their 
nature of course) - the old "if all you have is a hammer, then every problem is a nail" issue. That 
doesn't mean you have to be proficient with pliers and screwdrivers - but if you at least know how to 
recognise when a hammer isn't the right tool then you are half way to a decent job.

But after that, nothing beats experience.
I was lucky in that apart from when I was leaving school, I've never had to compete to 
get any of my jobs. I started as a junior design engineer in a local (large, very large) 
engineering firm, left to set up in business with some friends as the local Apple 
dealer), found out the hard way that we had "more enthusiasm than business 
acumen", started a smaller general computer business with one of them, then one day 
I walked into the MDs office of one of our large customers and asked if there was any 
chance of a full time job. I was there for 10 years - primarily IT (in a department of 3 
1/2 people), but dealing with just about anything that used electricity.
When that business got driven down the plughole by the beancounters who took over, I was 
one of the many that "left" - at the time it was very painful, but in hindsight 
it was good for me. I went to see the same person (who had been forced out years earlier 
and how had fingers in many local businesses) and before I'd even asked, he'd outlined 3 
possibilities. He more or less put me where I am now (general IT/Internet/small hosting 
company), and I've been here 10 years.
So those two jobs came about because I asked for them, and the person i asked 
knew that I could turn my hand to many things. Sadly he died in an airplane 
accident some years ago.

But you have to get that experience first. that may mean taking any job you can get at 
first. Any junior admin, helldesk, developer, whatever job will get you onto the bottom 
rung. Take the opportunity to look around and see what different people do - your first 
choice of career may not actually be what you want. There is no such thing as 
"IT" - it's a very wide field with many different roles.

Watch people closely. Tend to stay away from the brash loudmouths, watch the 
quieter ones who just get one with stuff (and are probably moaning about fixing 
the sh*t left by the loudmouths) as they are probably the more professional 
ones. Take time to talk to people about what they do, why, what's good and what 
isn't.

And when you make a cockup - as you will, more than once - don't just shrug it 
off, look at what went wrong, why, and how you can avoid it again. If you have

Re: [DNG] Problems of Devuan installer (Alpha2) I experinced.

2015-11-16 Thread aitor_czr

Hi,

On 16/11/15 13:00, Hughe janpeng...@riseup.net wrote:

Hi,

I tried to install Duvuan using Devuan installer few times but all the
attempts failed due to partitioning the hard disk, followed by GRUB
installation at the end. So I used Debian installer (7.0 and 8.2) to
create basic Debian system, and then upgraded to Devuan system one by
one.

The system setup was
/dev/sda - bootable USB stick
/dev/sdb - Hard disk

[Partition disks] could not handle manual selection.
When I chose manual, it complained "No root file system."

Partition disks
No root file system
No root file system is defined.
Please correct this from the partitioning menu.


I installed official images of Devuan several times doing a manual 
partition with no issues. How are you partitioning the hard disk? The 
most current partitioning is:


root ->  /ext4
home ->  /homeext4
swap ->  swap


On 'Guided - use the largest continous free space', how dose it know the
free space on the hard disk which is already partitioned?


Devuan/Debian installer has many *.udeb mini-packages, each of one with 
its own mission. Those packages are exclusively for the installer, and 
not for the installed system in the target. I call them "mini-packages" 
because the quality control is less strict comparing to a *.deb package. 
The manager of the partitioning in Devuan-installer is partman.



Guided partition kept the installationg going, but in the final stage of
GRUB boot loader, it failed to detect the Devuan partition.

Below is the error message.

Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk

Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda
Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed.

This is a fatal error.


It's strange... Are you using a live system? If the filesystem.squashfs 
-mounted in the target- hasn't installed all the grub dependencies, then 
grub-install will fail obviously.



Another inconvenient issue which inherited from Debian installer is, the
installer does not allow to change English keyboard layout from Qwerty
to other one. In my case, I'm a full-time Colemak user. If I didn't have
a qwerty keyboard, it would be difficult to use Devuan installer.

Qwerty layout became defacto standard. But some keyboard makers offer
Dvorak, Colemak layout for customers. This means they care about
minorities. Debian has been ignorant or lazy about this issue.

Debian supports non-Qwerty keyboard layouts though.
# dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
# service keyboard-setup restart

Hughe

Hi Frits,

Try this other way:

1) Checkout the gbp-master branch and remove the .git folder,
   because we will use git-import-orig instead of git-import-dsc,
   and git-import-orig doesn't support metadatas.

2) Now go to the parent directory, create a new folder and enter into it.

3) Create an empty git repository and import the sources of netman:

   $ git-import-orig --pristine-tar ../netman

4) Enter the name of the project and the version:

   What will be the source package name? [] netman
   What is the upstream version? [] 0.1.1~468c97d
   []

5) Now build:

   $ git-buildpackage -tc --git-export-dir="../build-area" 
--git-pristine-tar --git-ignore-branch

Re: [DNG] Packaging vdev

2015-11-10 Thread aitor_czr

I uploaded fskit to gitlab:

https://git.devuan.org/aitor_czr/fskit/tree/gbp-master

I didn't see the dpkg template in 'contrib/debian'. That blindness !!

Now, i see some significant differences between this template and mine. 
In my opinion:


1.- '/usr/lib/libfskit.so' and 'usr/lib/libfskit_fuse.so' dinamical 
libraries must be included in the respective *-dev.install files, 
instead of 'libfskit.install' and 'libfskit-fuse.install'.


2.- libfskit depends on libfskit-fuse and not the other way around, 
because libfskit-fuse is the backend (I did it so in Netman).


Isn't it?

[DNG] bootstrap-base error Re: About the experimental live, DVD

2015-10-14 Thread aitor_czr

Hi Frits,

I will do some clarifications about debian-installer:

1.- A wrong name of the distribution in .disks/info may screws up in a 
failure of the installer at the time of mounting /proc in the target. 
But this is not the case.


2.- Although being OK all the Packages.gz, i.e. the indices in /dists/ 
folder of deb and udeb packages located in /pool/ folder, all the udeb 
packages are also included implicitly in the /install/initrd.gz and 
/install/gtk/initrd.gz ram-disk files -they are generated when building 
debian-installer-, and all the md5sums must be the samein both one and 
the other.


3.- As i said in another thread, there is a bug in live-installer.udeb 
package. This bug was hacked by Philip Newboroug -Corenominal-, but i 
think this is not neither the case. Here you are the changes, lines 
63-83 of debian/live-installer.postinst:


https://gitlab.com/aitor_czr/live-installer/blob/master/debian/live-installer.postinst

I have to say that i don't use live-build for building debian-installer. 
I build d-i manually because i use the kernel of the Free Software 
Fundation, so i have to change all the kernel modules in it. Building 
d-i manually gives me more flexibility.


I hopethis will help yousomewhat...

Finally, can you upload your configuration of live-build to some cloud? 
Actually i can't help you because debmirror is failing. I supose that 
Nextime is generating the Packages.gz and the Contents.gz of the 
repository with Amprolla. Therefore let us be patience.


Cheers,

Aitor.

Re: [DNG] upgrade 16/10/2015 xorg fails to start

2015-10-17 Thread aitor_czr

Hi Rob,

By default, Devuan uses the seventh tty for X sessions. The permision is 
denied because xserver-xorg is not SUID root. If it is called from 
another SUID root program (a display manager like slim or lightdm) it 
will work. But first, you can try reinstalling xserver-xorg package to 
set the correct permissions, once created the user.


Cheers,

Aitor.

After upgrade tonight came out of Xorg to restart openbox.

I tried to start Xorg but it failed with "xf86OpenConsole cannot open /dev/tty0

/dev/tty0 was there so assumed permission problem. Temporarily added my user to 
tty group and tried again.

This time Xorg failed to start with "xf86OpenConsole cannot open Virtual 
Console 7 ( permisson denied.)

How to resolve?

[DNG] About the experimental live DVD

2015-10-11 Thread aitor_czr

Hi Frits,

On 08/10/15 17:05, Godefridus Daalmans  wrote:

Hello,

I would like to clarify some things about the live DVD that I made:

- arch is amd64, userid user password live. It works inside virtualbox,
not tested on bare iron. Do sudo bash to work as root.

You can skip the user's password:

Add to 'live-config' a file '/etc/config/config.conf' containig, for 
example:


LIVE_HOSTNAME=devuan
LIVE_USERNAME=user
LIVE_USER_FULLNAME="User"
LIVE_USER_DEFAULT_GROUPS="cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev fuse 
bluetooth netdev scanner"


Sometimes it fails, so i use to add the following lines to 
'/etc/init.d/live-config':


  userdel -r user
  groupdel user
  groupadd user
  /usr/sbin/useradd --home /home/user --create-home --gid user live
  FILE1=/etc/passwd
  if grep "^user:x:" ${FILE1}
then
  LINE1=`grep "^user:x:" ${FILE1}`
  LINE2="user::1002:1002:User,,,:/home/user:/bin/bash"
  rpl -q "${LINE1}" "${LINE2}" ${FILE1}
fi
  FILE2=/etc/shadow
  if grep "^user:" ${FILE2}
then
  LINE3=`grep "^user:" ${FILE2}`
  LINE4="user"
  rpl -q "${LINE3}" "${LINE4}" ${FILE2}
fi
  fi
  sed -i '25i user ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL' /etc/sudoers

By the way, have you included debian-installer in your distribution?


- It was an experiment by me to learn live-build and see how far I could
get with it on Devuan while avoiding systemd

- It's not really a server installation, because that doesn't match with
a live DVD. Maybe that's why it was so easy to stay away from
libsystemd0 (thanks Devuan!!)


Mmm... Yes, it's possible a live session without any Desktop Environment 
or Window Manager.



- It has udev and libudev1 (Devuan Jessie, couldn't purge systemd
completely)

- It is not an "official" Devuan selection of packages; it's a bloated
DVD full of 2.4 Gb of unrelated stuff. I call it "Vannsätter Linux".

- Nothing from non-free, so it's missing firmware-linux-nonfree, rar,
p7zip, and various microcodes, as well as mondo/mindi/afio:-(


Good, free distros are always a good thing !!


- No wifi programs 'cause I don't have a laptop (suggestions??)


Of course: 'netman'. There are deb packages, but i must do one change in 
them: i have to move 'netman.desktop' from '/usr/share/applications' to 
'/etc/xdg/autostart'.



- I just put on it stuff that I selected for the following four
completely different purposes:

(1) generic live DVD, like the old Knoppix, for people from my village
to experiment with when they crash their MS Windows computers. The
locale is set to sv_SE.UTF-8, good to practise your Swedish. I couldn't
figure out how to change it while it's running.
So you can enter your credit card details if you want to begin on-line
shopping. I'm not a security expert, so I thought iceweasel (=firefox)
and HTTPS are good enough.
It has childsplay and stellarium.


If you like knoppix, i'm packaging the latest version of Compiz Fusion 
(the sources are not included in knoppix's repositories; only the 
packages). You will can import the configuration of Compiz Fusion from 
knoppix, because it's the same version of Compiz.


As regards locale, you can change it typing 'dpkg-reconfigure locales', 
but it needs a reboot of the system. So, you must configure it in the 
'append initrd' of the iso. Keyboard configuration can be changed using 
'fbxkb', but i found a bug in it: **after running fbxkb **'Alt Gr' key 
is not detected**.



(2) basic system admin rescue tools. I've only sporadically worked in a
system admin rôle, so it probably doesn't have the exact tools that you
expect:-)
It's especially lacking backup tools such as mondo/mindi/afio.

(3) programs that I like such as canfield and singularity:-)


(4) a large collection of development tools, scripts and programs, and a
short tutorial I wrote about the GNU hello and Debian hello package.

Let me try to explain (4)

We all need to begin somewhere.

Not all of us are experienced enough in the areas we need to learn to
make Devuan thrive.

A large task like "make an improved Devuan fork of a Debian package" or
"make a better udev" or "split dbus in three" is best done in little
steps, on a "safe" computer system like a live DVD inside virtualbox, so
you don't thrash your own computer.

I thought that this live DVD would help budding enthusiasts and people
like me to learn how to assist the Devuan team in their work.

Once you've re-built the Debian hello package yourself, you feel a bit
more confident that the goals of Devuan are actually attainable and
within human reach:-)

I cannot begin to say how impressed I am with Debian and Devuan, if you
look "under the hood", like you can with this live DVD (it contains the
debian-policy documentation, for instance).
It gives one the feeling that people much cleverer than you have
designed this (kinda opposite to systemd).

I made this DVD to help people like me to begin somewhere. Feedback is
welcome.

Now if you like I can upload it somewhere

Thanks Florian,

It would be a good idea to build a special repository for Raspberry

1.- The Devuan ARM repository
2.- Raspbian repository: only those packages not available from the 
Devuan repository

3.- Marillat packages

Hello Aitor,

I have to correct myself: For apt to be able to update some Raspberry
Pi specific files (like the kernel itself), you'll need to keep the
Raspbian mirror in your sources.list. Of course the Raspbian release
has to be changed from wheezy to jessie before doing the dist-upgrade.
The modifications done by the devuan-baseconf package should make sure
that only those packages not available from the Devuan repository are
installed from the Raspbian server.

  I can think of two things:

  - An editor for people uncomfortable with vi. emacs, or even
emacs23-nox would be fine.

  - A partitionner more user-friendly than parted or fdisk: gparted
if GUI is possible, or cfdisk, which has a simple curses interface. The
drawback of cfdisk is that it doesn't know GPT partitions tables.

  Thanks.

Hi,

This is embarrassing to me. I discovered a bug in the main auto
connect loop. This loop uses two lists:
a) a sorted list of wifis in power descending order
b) a list of installed connections (essids)

The algorithm was originally intended to take the first item from the
power sorted list (a),  searches in list (b) for its presence. If it
finds the item in list b, it attempts to connect. If not it continues
iterating until it uses all the items in the power sorted list.

My error was to swap these two lists!

I discovered this bug because netman started to connect to a
neighbour's wifi notwithstanding that my wifi signal was far stronger.
This set me thinking there was something fishy in my algorithm.

I uploaded the code changes to correct this horrible bug.

Hi Hendrik,

I just started working on that. But just started.

The following script generates the pool and dists folders:

find ./DEBIAN -name *.dsc -exec reprepro --ask-passphrase -b . -V -C
main includedsc jessie {} \;
find ./DEBIAN -name *.deb -exec reprepro --ask-passphrase -b . -V -C
main includedeb jessie {} \;
find ./DEBIAN -name *.udeb -exec reprepro --ask-passphrase -b . -V -C
main includeudeb jessie {} \;

from the content of ./DEBIAN folder, searching all the 'deb', 'udeb' and
'dsc' located in it.

One of the issues arising is how to automatize the signing proccess, if
it is possible.

   So if I have a copy of http://packages.devuan.org/devuan/ and
  a debian mirror, all I need is to prioritize them, am I right ?
 If you carefully order the sources.list entries,
 might there wtill be a problem if the debian package is slightly more 
 up-to-date than the devuan one?

 If you're really concerned about it, you could put in a
 (complicated) hotkey combo to run a shellscript that runs poweroff,
 and make sure that poweroff is set in sudoers to run as root and
 require no password (assuming this is a personal computer, and not

 By the way, if you happen to be booting to the command prompt and
 then running startx, Xfce is functioning as designed when it grays
 out its shutdown and reboot buttons.

Could we create a simple application that displays a logout modal
window similar to the one displayed by xfce4, remove the default
logout menu item from xfce4 and create our own one. With GTK2 it
shouldn't be that difficult to create it? We would only need to setup
sudo to run the littel GTK2 app.

What do you think?

Personally, I think it's too small a problem to address at all. But if
we do address the problem, I guess as a distro we should fix the root
cause (whatever it is), not patch around it.

[DNG] replacing kernel 3.16.0-4

2015-08-27 Thread aitor_czr
Replacing the kernel is very easy. The problem is in debian-installer. 
We need to add all the modules in it, and it is a titanic work

But it is possible.

I am told that because selection of optimal resolution is today done by
the kernel, my 3.16.0-4 kernel therefore has a bug. I find significant
that kernel.org skips this kernel for possible downloading. Is anyone
else experiencing this problem?

I'm loading fluxbox on devuan-jessie without a desktop environment. When
I edit the linux line in the GRUB menu by appending video=VGA-1:d, the
display comes up with the proper DVI 1920x1080 resolution. Does this not
show that the kernel is sick?

So I'd like to use a different kernel, but there are no alternatives in
the devuan repository. How then should I install an alternative kernel?

Some time ago I tried to install devuan testing and it failed right away
for reasons I forget. Is the testing installation option actually
working?

Re: [DNG] Mirroring Devuan

2015-09-08 Thread aitor_czr

Hi all,

Take the case two mirrors, a complete Debian mirror in DEBIAN folder, 
and the merged packages in DEVUAN folder, containing both their 
corresponding /dists/ and /pool/. The following scripts build the /dist/ 
and /pool/ from the content of them, giving priority to Devuan. The 
script1 calls to the script2:


** SCRIPT1:

#!/bin/sh

find ./DEBIAN -name "*.dsc" -exec ./script2 {} \;

exit 0

** END OF THE SCRIPT1

** SCRIPT2:
#!/bin/sh

line1=${1%/*}
line2=${line1#*/}
line3=${line2#*/}

### The above lines converts
###./DEBIAN/pool/main/main/l/linux/linux_3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u3.dsc
### in /pool/main/main/l/linux
### The relationship betwen paths and sources is biyective


if [ -d ./DEVUAN/$line3 ];

then
 find ./DEVUAN -name "*.deb" -exec reprepro --ask-passphrase -b . -V -C 
main includedeb jessie {} \;
 find ./DEVUAN -name "*.udeb" -exec reprepro --ask-passphrase -b . -V 
-C main includeudeb jessie {} \;
 find ./DEVUAN -name "*.dsc" -exec reprepro --ask-passphrase -b . -V -C 
main includedsc jessie {} \;

 exit 0
fi

find ./DEBIAN -name "*.deb" -exec reprepro --ask-passphrase -b . -V -C 
main includedeb jessie {} \;
find ./DEBIAN -name "*.udeb" -exec reprepro --ask-passphrase -b . -V -C 
main includeudeb jessie {} \;
find ./DEBIAN -name "*.dsc" -exec reprepro --ask-passphrase -b . -V -C 
main includedsc jessie {} \;


exit 0

** END OF THE SCRIPT2

For each description file *.dsc found in the frist script, the second 
script searches in the corresponding path in ./DEVUAN. If it exits, 
DEBIAN packages are ignored.


There are some stuffs to add: debian must be changed by devuan in the 
path (debian-keyring by devuan-keyring, etc), a black list for debian, 
extra packages nonexistent in debian...

Hi Edward,

Don't change the name of the main funtion. In order to distinguish 
between ifup and ifdown, you can use one of the arguments, for example 
argv[1] (the first one *int argc* is the number of arguments in the 
command line (+1) included itself) .


Aitor.

El 08/09/15 a las 21:40, Edward Bartolo escribió:

Hi all,

I think, a simple way to avoid the backend having to call external
programs like ifup and ifdown, is to use code belonging to these
programs as it they were functions. This means, their code would be
used like this:

Suppose int main(int argc, char * argv[]) is the main function for
ifup. The main function's name would be changed like this, and the
other code belonging to ifup would be used.

int ifup_main(int argc, char * argv[]);

If I am correct, this should allow the backend to avoid having to use
execl to call ifup or ifdown or whatever other external program.

Re: [DNG] remove systemd for the love of Yog-Sothoth already

2015-08-25 Thread aitor_czr

Hi again,

I recomend you to use pristine-tar in combination with git-buildpackage.

*** EXAMPLE 1: HOW TO GET THE SOURCES USING PRISTINE-TAR 

1) Download any git repository (for example, systemd):

   $ git clone https://gitlab.com/aitor_cz/bulmages.git

2) Enter into the project:

   $ cd bulmages

3) Extract the pristine-tar branch:

   $ git checkout pristine-tar

4) There are two delta binaries in this branch (one belonging to the 
master branch, and the other belonging to the release branch):


   $ ls -s
  total 405956
 405660 
bulmages-master_0.16.0.20150107.1241-73c2dd9d.orig.tar.bz2.delta

 288 bulmages-release_0.15.0-5b3c913b.orig.tar.bz2.delta
 4 bulmages-master_0.16.0.20150107.1241-73c2dd9d.orig.tar.bz2.id
 4 bulmages-release_0.15.0-5b3c913b.orig.tar.bz2.id

5) If you want to obtain the tarball (sources) of one of them (for 
example, the master branch) type the following:


   $ pristine-tar checkout 
../bulmages-master_0.16.0.20150107.1241-73c2dd9d.orig.tar.bz2
   pristine-tar: successfully generated 
../bulmages-master_0.16.0.20150107.1241-73c2dd9d.orig.tar.bz2


6) Now, go to the parent directory, and check the hash:

   $ md5sum bulmages-master_0.16.0.20150107.1241-73c2dd9d.orig.tar.bz2
   9359934456b86da8489d24a947828239 
bulmages-master_0.16.0.20150107.1241-73c2dd9d.orig.tar.bz2


   Your proccess will be physically equivalent !!
   This allows to check the purity of the sources, because the 
mantainer of a debian package must not do changes in it (the upstream 
branch is for developers).


 EXAMPLE 2: HOW TO BUILD WITH PRISTINE-TAR 
*


1) Download a concret branch:

   $ git clone --branch release15 --single-branch 
https://gitlab.com/aitor_cz/bulmages.git


2) Now we will use git-import-orig, so remove the metadatas in bulmages 
(the .git folder)


   $ rm -rf bulmages/.git
   $ mkdir release15
   $ cd release15
   $ git-import-orig --pristine-tar ../bulmages
 What will be the source package name? [] bulmages-release
 What is the upstream version? [] 0.15.0-5b3c913b
 gbp:info: Importing 
'../bulmages-release_0.15.0-5b3c913b.orig.tar.bz2' to branch 'master'...

 gbp:info: Source package is bulmages-release
 gbp:info: Upstream version is 0.15.0-5b3c913b
 pristine-tar: committed 
bulmages-release_0.15.0-5b3c913b.orig.tar.bz2.delta to branch pristine-tar
 gbp:info: Successfully imported version 0.15.0-5b3c913b of 
../bulmages-release_0.15.0-5b3c913b.orig.tar.bz2


3) Extract the pristine-tar branch:

   $ git checkout pristine-tar
 Switched to branch 'pristine-tar'

   $ ls -l
 bulmages-release_0.15.0-5b3c913b.orig.tar.bz2.delta
 bulmages-release_0.15.0-5b3c913b.orig.tar.bz2.id

  The tarball bulmages-release_0.15.0-5b3c913b.orig.tar.bz2 is again in 
the parent directory.


4) If yout want to do some changes, commit them an build with 
git-buildpackage:


   $ git-buildpackage --git-export-dir=../build-area \
  --git-pristine-tar \
  --git-tag \
  --git-ignore-branch


** EXAMPLE 3: HOW TO GENERATE THE PRISTINE-TAR BRANCH 
**


As Joey Hess explains in his article:

http://joeyh.name/blog/entry/generating_pristine_tarballs_from_git_repositories/

the above examples are from the perspective of a maintainer of a Debian 
package. But this can also be used by the authors who generate the 
pristine tarballs in the first place. Check them into git using 
pristine-tar. Then you can regenerate any tarball you've ever released 
using just your project's git repository.


$ pristine-tar commit ../bulmages-release_0.15.0-5b3c913b.orig.tar.bz2 
tags/0.15.0-5b3c913b


Have a nice day :)

Aitor.

P.D.- There is another alternative for the second example:

  $ gbp buildpackage --git-upstream-tag=0.15.0-5b3c913b \
 --git-debian-branch=release15 \
 --git-no-pristine-tar \
 --git-pristine-tar-commit

the filesystem.squashfs. I solve the rest of the puzzle *manually*.

Hi Ozi,

Live-build works fine in Devuan, but you must change the
default mirrors in bootstrap and chroot config files. For example:

LB_MIRROR_BOOTSTRAP="http://ftp.es.mirror.devuan.org/merged/;
<http://ftp.es.mirror.devuan.org/merged/>

instead of "http://ftp.debian.org/debian/;

In my opinion, the best way to update the system is (as KatolaZ says) 
"apt-get dist-upgrade".

Hi Rob,

I don't know if it is related, and maybe my comment is just silly, but
in order to upgrade from Wheezy I believe you should give an "apt-get
dist-upgrade" and not a simple "apt-get upgrade".

Sorry if the comment is too stupid or irrelevant, but this little
detail might make a difference. Also, I don't know if direct upgrading
from Wheezy to Ceres (which is equivalent to an upgrade from an
"old-stable" to an "unstable", in Debian words) is actually supported,
but Devuan developers will certainly be able to clarify this point
better.

Thanks Edward, i will try it.

I am considering locating  netman-backend in the following path:

"/usr/lib/netman/0.1.0/"

doing after that the following simbolic links:

# ln -s  /usr/lib/netman/0.1.0/netman-backend  /etc/alternatives/

# ln -s  /etc/alternatives/netman-backend  /usr/bin/



What do you think about it?

[DNG] Debugging netman auto-connect.

2015-09-11 Thread aitor_czr

Hi Edward,

Consider a double pointer like a matrix (in algebra) witch one you don't 
know its dimension a priori.


An example: put the case that we are developing an application witch 
calculates the inverse of a matrix of dimensions NxM. The values of N 
and M will be determinated by the user and they are unknown a priori. If 
so, we declare a doble pointer:


float **ptr;

The application asks to the user the values of of the number of files 
(N) and columns (M), and according to them it reserves the "necessary 
and sufficient" memory:


ptr = (float**) malloc(files* sizeof(float*);

  for (i=0; i wrote:

Hi all,

Since yesterday I have been trying to understand why "char**
essid_list" is working inside getInstalledEssidList(,
essid_list) but failing as soon as I try to access essid_list[0]
outside the function.

Both the source and the gdb text output are attached.

Ok, thanks.

On 17/09/15 10:21, Edward Bartolo wrote:

Hi Aitor,

I think avoiding to use two links for the backend would help to keep
the project as simple as possible. Also using the version as a
directory would indicate that more than one concurrent version of
netman would be installed.

The frontend, netman, expects to find the backend named as backend. If
this is to be changed, I will need to modify the frontend. We can also
opt to use an /etc settings file to enable use use whatever location
and name for the backend.

So, an /etc conf file (/etc/netman.conf) would look like this:
backend=/usr/lib/netman/0.1.0/netman-backend

In case you instruct me to use a configuration file for the frontend,
please inform me, to set me going. I can do that in an hour.
