[DNG] Waterfox issues under Devuan ASCII
Hi, I would like to ask whether Devuan and Waterfox are still compatible. Updates of Waterfox are not working. I tried the classic version as the new one may have more issues. The 'old' version of waterfox I am using freezes the mouse pointer on startup. The error is the following: ERROR--- $ ./waterfox XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/edbarx/waterfox-classic/liblgpllibs.so: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by /home/edbarx/waterfox-classic/liblgpllibs.so) Couldn't load XPCOM. -- Thanks for your replies. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
[DNG] more issues (RE: Beowulf Beta is here!)
-Original Message- Sent: den 9 april 2020 16:14 Hello and thanks for Beowulf. An issue: it looks like devuan_beowulf_3.0.0_beta_amd64_netinstall.iso and the base system installable from it do not contain the ifupdown package (nor other networking utilities besides busybox ip?). The resulting base installation remains offline. - When I manually arrange networking and try to use deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf main deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-updates main deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-security main then the set of available packages seems to be quite short, lacking things like "less". What is wrong? /D ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Huh ??? Tar is installed by default in the core system of devuan (first and second stages of debootstrap. In any case, i started working on my own minimalist browser. It's not a joke: http://www.gnuinos.org/screenshots/Screenshot_2020-04-11_18-14-41.png At least, i only need a few features like management for my bookmarks and ability to have several websites opened at the same time in different tabs.

For both, I removed the optical drive and replaced it with a 500 GiB fixed disk using the factory mounts; its an option on these systems. Both dual boot to ASCII or Windows 10 Professional 64. Both have 8GiB of RAM Everything on both works just fine except for the fingerprint readers, which is not an ASCII problem but rather poor Linux support. Sound, touch pad, correct video resolution, the network, Bluetooth, etc. works fine.

[DNG] Waterfox issues under Devuan ASCII
Hi, I will upgrade to Beowulf. As usual, I will upgrade dpkg, apt, aptitude and the kernel first and then reboot with the new versions. Then, I will do an "apt-get dist-upgrade". If there are more critical packages which need to be upgraded first, please post. The above worked in Debian when there were dist-upgrade issues.
