At this point in my investigation, I would like to know which version ofB43 is loaded by netinst.iso. tty4 show that B43 is loaded and is requesting b43/ucode13.fw or b43-open/ucode13.fw. From my searches so far, the error -2 is not an error, but a message that means it can't find those files. It also appearsthat netinst.iso is looking for them on the ramfs/initramfs and is not looking on the removable media. I would like to know how to get to the source code for the modulethat's putting up the messages on tty4 so I can study it and find out what's really going on. While this may be a somewhat rare problem, it is quite old problem and only the ucodeXX.fw value changes in the error -2 messages. While I now know howto fix the C700 at this point, I think the netinst.iso code needs to be looked at. How do I determine which source code I should be studying? I assume its on gethubsomewhere.

So you need the Windows driver for your wifi card, use b43fwcutter on it, get the files, and put them under /firmware. Please look online for confirmations. I had to do that at least a couple of times in the past. I guess the procedure has not changed much, if at all.

[DNG] npm and nodejs
I'm trying to try out a package (joplin) that is built using nodejs. Now the installation instructions seem to require npk, the nodejs package manager. And following links about npm, it appears that npm is part of nodejs. But I have installed nodejs from the ascii repossitory and still don't seem to be able to access npm. There are some packages with npm in their names, but they look to be add-one for npm rather than npm itself. Any ideas? Is this an area where the Devuan packages are broken? Will I have to go to foreign repositoories? -- hendrik ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

There is a bug with lsb-release in ascii where it relies on parsing sources.list for detection. If “lsb_release -sc” returns “ascii” then you’re all fine but if it returns “testing” then you’ll just have to add the repo with the manual instructions. The devuan releases are aliased in the installer script to the Debian releases so you should just use stretch in your sources list. —Tom ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
[DNG] [OT] Modification of audio power amplifier.
Warning: Out of Topic. No relation to Devuan but to technology and electronics. Since, I know some have knowledge of electronics and I am replacing an amplifier's pre-driver stages I am posting here. At present, I am opting to use a simple circuit for testing purposes. This circuit uses a differential pair and the input stage. The differential pair is supplied a pseudo-constant current (2.5mA) from a two resistor chain with a Zener diode connected to ground. This results in a fairly constant voltage that develops across one resistor and the base-emittor junction. Therefore, the bias current can be taken as constant. The output from the differential pair drives the pre-pre-driver stage which has its collector resistor replaced by a constant current source. This both provides a high impedance output resistance for this stage and solves issue of using greater drive current for the same output power. My little hesitation at the this stage, is the biasing to remove crossover distortion. I know a that two diodes are connected in series but I want more control on the quiescent current in the output stages as this can cause overheating and unnecessarily uses energy for no output. Together with two series connected diodes I found some amplifiers use also a preset resistor in series with the biasing diodes to have more control. In my case, I think the choice may be an amplified diode which is a transistor biased in such a way to behave like a diodes but with modifiable characteristic. The latter arrangement have the ability of presenting a voltage that ranges from 0.7V upwards whereas the former two start from 0.7 x 2 volts. Excuse me for my intrusion. Someone might have met or read about a biasing arrangement I have not heard of yet. Thanks. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
