Re: [DNG] machine locks up switching between console and X session
I'm still getting freezes nearly daily. Some are temporary and last only a few seconds and then let up. The ones that last longer eventually freeze also the mouse pointer and then the entire machine. $ lsb_release -rd Description:Devuan GNU/Linux 2.0 (ascii) Release:2.0 I have the latest Nouveau display driver: $ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-nouveau | sed '1,3!d' xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: Installed: 1:1.0.13-3 Candidate: 1:1.0.13-3 What other packages should I look for?

[DNG] which package repository mirror to use?
Hi, just wondering what sources.list I should use for upgrading devuan ascii. Depending on where I look I find either http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged or http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ There seem to be slight differences in the packages they hold (maybe just due to latency when mirrors synchronize?) I'm currently using the latter server. cheers, David ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I upgraded from Devuan jessie to Devuan ascii last week without
problems. However, after upgrading system shutdown from the XFCE menu
did not work any more. Shutting down manually via the linux console
('halt') did work. However during shutdown it then complained something
about crypto disks not being stopped (running encrypted root with lvm).
Now after reading this email I just ran another round of 'apt-get update
&& apt-get dist-upgrade' and things look a little better now: shutdown
via xfce menu works, however, during shutdown it does not show any of
the shutdown messages any more, so I cannot verify whether crypto disk
unmounting works any better now.
cheers,
David

So these can be late on updates. pkgmaster.devuan.org, deb.devuan.org and *.deb.devuan.org are a new set of mirrors (14 in total) all based on the second amprolla rewrite (amprolla3), which does a full merge in a few minutes and incremental ones in a few seconds (every 2 minutes). The latter set of mirrors will be the default for ascii. They can also be used in jessie, but you need to install a recent devuan-keyring package for that.

Aren't you getting a half-minute delay on shutdown? There are some debian bug reports about this with various fixes proposed. This one worked for me: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=8300#p8300 I don't know what to do about the missing messages. fsmithred ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Most of the parts should be already in place, but particularly in the policykit/consolekit/elogind area we are in need of some more thorough testing in order to guarantee correct installation of any of the supported desktop environments as well as smooth upgrades of existing installations.
