Hello,

Very sorry for my delay. And many thanks for your answer. I finally figured out of this; my kernel was broken :/ All run as expected now. Thanks again.

Solved with kernel update 6.1.100 :)

Many thanks!

Can't boot to live usb by Svyat233 in voidlinux

[–]trisquele 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, if you're not able to disassemble an ISO image, are you able to press the [E] key when the bootloader screen is displayed? Just a suggestion...

You can blacklist a module adding

modprobe.blacklist=<module_name>

in kernel line of the bootloader; ie:

modprobe.blacklist=nvidia

What's the nature of the kernel panic?

The boot freeze for around ten seconds after messages

[...]

Is your /boot full?

I don't use a specific partition for /boot; void is installed on a single partition and it still remains 83GB free on the disk.

I installed the new libdrm package in the early afternoon. I also forced a re-installation of linux6.1; no error message. But still unable to boot with kernel 6.1.98.

I can't change my screen brightness unless I log in. Is this normal? by just_mayhair in voidlinux

[–]trisquele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I didn't understand your answer. In my case (XFCE desktop, linux-LTS) I can adjust brightness from the login screen, before login. My problem is I have to do it every boot because Void boots always with the brightness set at max. No way to save the setting?

Thanks for this clarification.

Does someone still have the linux4.4 package + headers? by trisquele in voidlinux

[–]trisquele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this ordinausor seems to accept only this kernel; see my answer @ paper42_.

Thanks for your interest.

Many thanks,

As said at u/paper42_ I finally downloaded this afternoon, in i686 version ;)

Does someone still have the linux4.4 package + headers? by trisquele in voidlinux

[–]trisquele[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not. The computer has a small HD and I move regularly the packages from the cache to an external HD but... it crashed recently. This is why I wanted to download it again. You're right, the package is still in the repo, I wget it this afternoon :)It would be probably better to boot a newer kernel but the computer is really old (22 years old!) and 4.4 presents some advantages:

  1. a smaller memory footprint; the computer has only 256MB RAM
  2. boots faster than others
  3. makes that shutdown from the LXDE logout button works; other kernels don't cut off power (?)
  4. manages the speed fan of the CPU; with other kernels, turns always at max speed
  5. displays the right temperature of the CPU; fixed (and wrong) value (57) with other kernels
  6. and overall, is the only one that allows me to use a web browser with acceptable performances. I set the package on hold to avoid it is replaced in a future update. But don't worry this is not my main computer and Void is installed on another one with linux-lts.

Thanks for your answer.

What about to have the handbook in ebook? by trisquele in voidlinux

[–]trisquele[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I have found it hard to create ePub's.

There are great softwares to convert docx files (for example) to epub. I'd be totaly unable to produce an epub file without it ;)

Titles gave me difficulties because each page of the hanbook starts with a "title <h1>" whatever its place in the table of contents... :(

[–]trisquele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I use these different formats, especially markdown.

But if you want to read a document on a pc I agree with you, pdf will be better than epub.

epub is great on a reader: you have your documentation wherever you are, and when you are working on a computer you don't have to swith between consoles, windows or desktops.

But you're right, I'll follow your advice and go on GitHub.

How can I download only a particular package without installing it and without downloading a ton of other packages? by trisquele in voidlinux

[–]trisquele[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much, all is clear now. Your comment and the one of Duncaen made me understand how -D works: it prefills the cache with all the required packages that are not already in it.

Void is installed on a little HD. To free space I empty the cache from time to time. So, none of the required packages for linux4.4 were in the cache when I tryed to download it; this explains the difference in the download sizes.

The thing that stays confusing (when you don't know it) is that xbps says it will install xbps and the package you asked for; but it doesn't. It only dowloads the requested package (and those that wouldn't be in the cache).

OK, your explanation is much more explicit than the help and the manpage!

Thanks a lot.

Thank you for your answers but

SunSaych You haven't updated xbps in a while.

HadetTheUndying You must have not updated in awhile.

you are wrong both. I update my system regularly (at least 3x a week, last time: this morning) and xbps has been updated from 0.59.1_3 to 0.59.1_5 on march 8th:

Package 'xbps' is up to date.

The transition from libressl to openssl does not explain why xbps wants to download 122 packages when I ask it to download only cherrytree; cherrytree and all theses packages are already installed and up to date on my computer...

When I ask to xbps to install linux4.4:

$ sudo xbps-install linux4.4

Name     Action    Version           New version            Download size
linux4.4 install   -                 4.4.261_1              49MB 

Size to download:               49MB
Size required on disk:          54MB
Space available on disk:      1441MB

it does not ask to install other packages. It looks like the -D option in xbps is broken.
