Devuan ASCII (originating from the Devuan Jessie "beta2" iso) to Beowulf
upgrade report: Lenovo ThinkPad X200 with slim login manager and a
customized LXqt desktop environment (not all lxqt-core dependencies are
installed).
tl;dr: - The upgrade has been largely successful (besides cifs mounts!).
- These notes might help with elogind/consolekit, busybox-syslogd
and firefox-esr profile issues.
- A simple "low diskspace" workaround is provided.
- libsystemd0 is obsolete again.
- There is one issue with cifs-utils left for further
investigation: Two fstab-mounted (remote) samba 4.2 shares,
formerly writable, have turned read-only - while my ascii
desktop has still r/w access. (As first client-side attempts
have not been successful yet, I will look at it another day,
together with the server.)
mentionable services, basic functionality tested OK:
- wicd
- cupsd
- libvirtd
- bluez
- tor
- opensshd
- exim4 (localhost)
additional notes:
- session and power management work fine
- /etc/default/grub modified (unasked?)
- firefox-esr refuses to start the existing profile "with an
older version of Firefox" creating a new profile results in:
# diff ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/compatibility.ini
- some desktop icons (adwaita) broken
- lxqt-powermangement now works for me, but seems to conflict
(on hibernation only) with xfce4-powermanagement (which I had
to use on ascii): the system /boots/ from not cleanly
unmounted partitions with a "Read-error on swap-device", when
both are installed.

Re: [DNG] We need upgrade reports
Updated my daily driver, everything so far looks good. I use xfce with Xfce-orange for the theme and noticed the orange turned red. Not a problem, just an observation. I had the problem with su root that tempo had and used tito's solution to fix it. (thanks temp and tito) One odd thing that happened and went away was, I have a script that opens one terminal window with a bunch of tabs, when I ran that initially I got an error about cannot connect to session manager. A stackexchange issue mentioned a conflict between the user calling the command and the one owning the session. I wasn't logged in as anything unusual, but I tried closing my terminal, opening a fresh one and calling from there and it worked. I may have done something as root in that terminal window that changed the session owner, though I really can't think of what I might have done. Anyway, I thought I'd share in case anyone else sees a similar or more persistent issue. Side note - I got my snapshot iso working exactly how I want it (and learned a little bit about iso's). Thank you fsmithred for the help. AndRefractasnapshot is awesome! :) Will report back if I run into anything of interest.

Re: [DNG] We need upgrade reports
Hallo Liste I started with a netinstall (Ascii 2.1), just basic installation, then changed all repo-entries to https and [arch=amd64], restarted my computer. Then I changed all repo-entries from ascii to beowulf, commented "backports" out and started my full installation. I am working with WindowMaker, wdm and various apps from different sources, Thunar as file-manager, Firefox 71, Thunderbird 72 (beta) from Mozilla ftp-Server, Spotify, Discord, Viber, Yandex-Browser, MegaSync and Yandex Disc, Skype and Teamviewer, MasterPDF and Okuna from their respective sources. I installed Scribus 1.5.5 as Flatpak. *The only thing which is not working, is Brackets, it would require libcurl3 instead of libcurl4, but those cannot be installed side by side :-(* Steam is working after installing some i386-packets :-( All Dockapps are working flawlessly. I am working an a Thinkstation E31, Xeon E3-1245 v2, 32GB RAM, Samsung EVO 250GB and WD Blue 1TB, Graphicscard AMD Radeon Pro WX 4100, Monitor 1 is a Samsung UHD and Monitor 2 is a Dell Ultrasharp FHD, Printers: Canon Selphy CP910 (used over Turboprint), HP Laserjet 400 Pro, HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus eAio, Logitech Surround Speakers on a ASUS Xonar Essence STX II 7.1. And even my Palm m500 is working without problems :-) Thank you for your excellent work!

Thanks, fsmithred ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng Hi, here is my upgrade report, a story of a long night. I've upgraded my Desktop Workstation running ASCII with a rather complex setup: self compiled 4.19.92 kernel package xfce4 + KDE installed / raid1 swap raid1 /home/user raid6 /freespace raid5 /morefreespace /raid1 and with a sources.list with some third party repos: #deb-multimedia deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org/ buster main non-free # Virtualbox deb https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/ buster contrib non-free # Lynis deb https://packages.cisofy.com/community/lynis/deb/ stable main # Samsung printer drivers deb http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/ debian extra I did the upgrade from within the XFCE desktop just for the thrill... After updating the repos in source.list to beowulf I run apt update but some i386 deb packages gave a 404 error so I've added more devuan repos and the error was fixed. Then I've run apt upgrade and while upgrading about 1700 packages some errors popped up: dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-rkLWUp/1006-libel-api-java_3.0.0-2_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/usr/share/maven-repo/javax/el/javax.el-api/3.0/javax.el-api-3.0.pom', which is also in package libservlet3.1-java 8.5.50-0+deb9u1 Preparing to unpack .../1007-libeot0_0.01-5_amd64.deb ...

Just removed both packages. Trying to upgrade the remaining 800 packages was tricky: at first I upgraded network-manager, but to upgrade the other packages was a pain as they wanted to uninstall half of my system . Upgrading libsystemd0 resolved it but uninstalled also network-manager that could be reinstalled afterwards. Most packages upgraded, and the few remaining did by hand. Some more bugs in the after install: xfce4-notifyd was not started at log in with the side effect that network-manager showed the network as disconnected meanwhile it was connected. xfce4-notifyd seems to have only a systemd.unit but no file in /etc/xdg/autostart. I fixed it by adding it to Autostart section of the xfce control panel. Also pulseaudio was not started in Xfce4, so added it also to Autostart. The worst trouble was with firefox-esr, at first start it informed me that: Using an older version of Firefox can corrupt bookmarks and browsing history already saved to an existing Firefox profile. To protect your information, create a new profile for this installation of Firefox. Create new profile | Quit I just backed up my .mozilla folder to save my bookmarks and settings. I've tried also the tar.gz from mozilla, it was not as kind and started with a new profile without asking just telling me that I could recover my bookmarks by login to their syncWTF. It seems to me that the version detection must be bugged. Creating a new profile and restoring bookmarks,extensions and all other settings by hand was the only thing that helped. KDE worked well.

Okay, DO THIS ON A COPY, not the real > thing. Well, already did on my production systems, not many test machines for home use :-). I have three machines updated within the last two months, sorry, a little bit lengthy now: [notebook]: Updated from ascii to beowulf roughly a month ago. KDE/Plasma Desktop, Firefox, Visual Code from external Microsoft repo, LVM volumes. No issues during upgrade (*), system seems to be stable (no crashes so far) * I don't remind all details anymore but see below for more recent update. [soho nas/server]: Also about a month ago. This was a new machine with a minimal ascii as trampoline for installing beowulf. No issues during upgrade. Machine is headless, no elogind. Currently working services are: Samba AD DC for Windows clients and providing LDAP/Kerberos to Linux hosts, NFS fileserver, Lighttpd + PHP FPM, MariaDB, Amanda Client. The machine sometimes looks up: once a month or so, either during standby (to ram) or wakeup. I suppose related to Mainboard or Bios. [workstation]: Upgraded just a few days ago from ascii to beowulf. Also a pure desktop machine: KDE/Plasma, KMail, Gnome, Firefox, KiCad, Amanda server (not yet used again), Visual Code, Gimp, LVM for root and other filesystems, mixed NVME/HDD. I run upgrade commands from within a "screen" session in a terminal from KDE. Since I forgot to disable screen-saver before, it locked after a while and prompted me to switch to text console, login and perform a "loginctl" command to unlock. This worked, however I'd recommend to either disable all screen savers during upgrade or use a text console for upgrade. I was required some repeats of the "upgrade" / "dist-upgrade" commands. Also an "--fix-broken install" was needed. I think this was related to autofs package: I host a local package mirror as NFS share which is mounted through autofs, when updating autofs, it will restart / remount all autofs shares so the autofs_*.deb disappeared during install of autofs which dpkg doesn't seem to like :-) After upgrade KDE desktop was not installed anymore. I had to manually install it again (kde-plasma-desktop package). Also elogind* was not upgraded, I think the later was related to libsystemd0 package, which was still installed. I had to manually remove libsystemd0. Afterwards I could upgrade elogind*. Is it correct that libsystemd0 is still present in deb.devuan.org for beowulf? Since libelogind0 replaces it, it shouldn't be there at all, right? After upgrade I noticed, that sound in KDE was not working as expected. KDE/Plasma seem to have more or less fully switched to pulseaudio. The pulseaudio package was installed but not working properly. Today I just figured out, that the libpulse0 package from debian ships with a file /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf which changes behavior to not automatically start pulseaudio server by client if needed. Probably since pulseaudio is now started through systemd on Debian: /usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.socket /usr/lib/systemd/user/pulseaudio.service This change actually breaks sound/mixers for all pulseaudio using applications, A freshly installed beowulf with KDE desktop might not deliver sound out of the box. As a quick fix I edited /etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf and commented out the setting made there. I see two more persistent solutions: - provide own libpulse0 package without that config file - create a devuan package which installs a 01-reenable-autospawn.conf file to revert the setting Another noticeable thing (Wife) is, that the banshee package is not available anymore (removed from Debian as well). With some quirks I was able to generate it locally from the Debian source. We evaluated some alternatives before but most of them suffer GUI usability and focus to much on for our mood unecessary features. KiCad (electronic cad programm) worked fine at once. Old project was converted without issues and was directly useable again. cheers, Andreas -- gnuPG keyid: 8C2BAF51 fingerprint: 28EE 8438 E688 D992 3661 C753 90B3 BAAA 8C2B AF51 signature.asc Description: PGP signature ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Somewhat concerned about this, once I want to upgrade my server from ascii to beowulf. It uses the logical volume manager for *everything* except /boot. (upgrading my Purism laptop I did some months ago and it works well ever since) My server carries the internet connexion to the rest of the world, so if it goes wrong I can't easily explore the problem with the help of this list. So do I conclude that ascii's LVM2 isn't capable of handling buster? Or is it just a problem between ascii's LVM2 and openrc? Does the upgrade automatically replace the sysv init with openrc? And at what stage in the upgrade should one or did you upgrade LVM2 to avoid trouble? Immediately after changing the sources.lst to buster? Or after the kernel has been upgraded too? -- hendrik > > i also remember dist-upgrade, bringing in libsystemd0 (not sure why), > but after manual installation of libelogind0 it was gone. > > d. > > ___ > Dng mailing list > Dng@lists.dyne.org > https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Did the upgrade in June ñto Beowuld with fluxbox rather than desktop,
and subsequently upgraded Beowulf twice. No major problems. The
following may not be real problems, but thought best to throw them
out for consideration. I initially had the problem of
occassionally being unable to close a terminal (mlterm), but no longer.
1. .xsession-errors:
xmodmap: unable to open file '/home/haines/.Xmodmap' for reading. Why
no config file?
07:38:37.106 [AWT-EventQueue-0] WARN net.sf.jabref.JabRefGUI - There
seem to be problems with OpenJDK and the default GTK Look Using
Metal L instead. Change to another L with caution.
console.error: itdmanager:

ERROR alsa.cc:525 [pause]: snd_pcm_pause failed: Input/output error.
ERROR alsa.cc:525 [pause]: snd_pcm_pause failed: File descriptor in

2. dmesg errors

3. fetcmail
The new fetchmail 6.4.0 may have problems. It seeks an SSL
certificate and, finding none, breaks the connection. I worked
around this by inserting the line 'sslproto " ' into
.fetchmailrc.
4. exim
The file /etc/exim4/passwd.client could not be read by exim. It
was -rw-r- 1 root saned 653 Oct 29 12:17 passwd.client
and since I'm in saned group, I should be able to read it. I
changed permissions to -rw-r--r-- to get SMTP authentication.
5. bluetooth
In syslog: Nov 22 06:42:04 engels brltty[724]: DBus error: send
message: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
org.bluez was not provided by any .service file
Solution was to install bluez
6. dmesg
I find that $ sudo sysctl -w kernel.dmesg_restrict=0 enables
user to run dmesg, but my impression this does not survive a reboot.
Can't reboot now to check.

Re: [DNG] We need upgrade reports
I have three laptops I upgraded from Ascii to Beowulf over the summer. They are "production" in the sense that I use them every day. They use XFCE as the DE. I am very happy with beowulf on these systems.
