[DNG] libapache2-mod-mono not in jessie

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi all,
I've been upgrading my very last machine from wheezy to devuan jessie,
and am running into a couple of problems. I was trying to figure out
why a asp.net site was just displaying directory contents instead of
loading. After some troubleshooting, and web searching, I found this:



I tried to implement the pinning suggestion described here, and adding
devuan asci main to sources.list, but that wants to upgrade everything
to ascii when I try to install libapache2-mod-mono.

I'm trying to figure out my best course of action here. This is a
production system, so I don't want to move it to ascii just yet. I'm
on the other hand not looking forward to rebuilding apache from source
to solve this. Suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm also running into a postfix-policyd-spf issue, but I'll save that
for another thread later today. I've been at this for several hours,
and it's late, apologies if I'm not being clear. Thanks.

Greg

Hi Greg,

on the same page they alternatively suggested to look in the repo
provided by the mono-project:

  http://origin-download.mono-project.com/repo/debian/pool/main/m/mod-mono/

which should contain all the debs of current and previous versions of
that module. If that fails, I would definitely go for upgrading your
system to ascii. You would be surprised to know how many production
systems are running Devuan ascii already ;)

[DNG] xorg freeze for non-root user after migration from stretch to ascii

[Menelaos Maglis]

Hi,

I have followed the instructions in the following page to migrate my
Debian stretch system to Devuan ascii. I have not removed libsystemd0 as
I want to use the system with X (desktop).

https://devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/migrate-to-ascii

All went well, but when I startx as non-root user from console, X starts
loading window manager (e.g. openbox or i3) and then freezes. The
keyboard and mouse are not usable and I can only recover the system with
a hard reset. Root user can start and operate X with no issues.

It has to do with starting X as non-root user, I guess.
Could someone help me overcome the issue or point me to the right
information?

Best regards,
Menelaos

Some really helpful people on #devuan iirc channel pointed out that a
non-root user should be member of the video and input groups.
Adding a normal user to missing group input resolved the issue for me.

Systemd just automatically gives permission to all devices to any
physically local logged-in console user. Unfortunately this means that
now, when switching to non-systemd system, a non-root user may not have
the normal group membership to operate video and input.

Someone else said that, depending on video driver, the
xserver-xorg-legacy package may be necessary. I had this installed in my
system. 

Please examine the contents of /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config file.
It was mentioned that an entry "needs_root_rights=yes" may be necessary
if no display manager is used. That is if you startx in console.
My Xwrapper.config has only this entry, "allowed_users=console".

Hope it helps someone.

Regards,
Menelaos
