  1. Unable to generate boot entry through Limine Boot Installer. Getting error that efibootmgr utility is not found.

Thanks for reporting that, it has been added to the package-list for the next release of easyVoid.

You can install it now if you want, via PKGget. Type "efibootmgr" into the search box.

Just an FYI, I installed galculator using PKGget, I received the same libEGL dependency message. Galculator works OK.

In 6.0.1 should not be getting that missing libEGL message. I have done it:

Galculator is one of those must-have apps; I have added it to the package-list to be builtin next release.

EDIT: Have just seen your later post, after installing 6.0.1, no longer getting that libEGL. So all is well.

  1. Unable to extract through XArchive application

I have tested xarchive and it worked for me.
Can you please post a file that doesn't extract with xarchive?

When I tried to extract the ublock0_1.55.1b13.chromium.zip file. Not able to do so. hence I have rebooted to easyKirckstone and got it done !!!. I have installed Ungoogled chrome in EasyVoid. Lot of in built advertisements in the sites. So thought of adding ublock origin via extension. Not possible while trying to add ublock extension. Hope it may be due to ungoogled chrome setting/limitations. Upon search, it can done through unpacked option in chrome by downloading ublock zip file. ublock zip got from "git" is not able to extract in easyVoid. i dont know what exactly causing issue. However done it through easy 5.6.5 and came back to easyvoid for adding the same.!!

Not able to upload zip due to file size. It can be downloaded from here https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/relea ... romium.zip

I posted above, about voidpup having the PPM. Yes, true; however, I have just booted it and the PPM looks like it is taking a back seat.

In the menu, is "Void Package Manager". This is a CLI app, so not a GUI, you have to do it in a terminal.

"vpm" is a wrapper around the full xbps package manager, to make usage simpler. Hmmm, the github project for vpm does not exist anymore.
I presume that it must be still available in the xbps repository. I found a fork of vpm, named "vbm", here:

https://codeberg.org/oSoWoSo/vbm

Playing briefly with voidpup, it looks like the ppm is only useful for installing pet packages. You have to use vpm to install void .xbps packages.

I used vpm to install xfe. The package installed and runs. Using vpm installs already installed dependencies, as it does not recognise packages installed in build. 39 dependencies were installed including glibc, etc.

Edit: Packages installed using PKGget are also not identified by vpm, could also be installed again over the already installed package.

that's right. sync of vpm and xbps with pkgget is on the to do list, probably the next release.

I installed it to /files/downloads/seamonkey with root:root for testing.

On the 6.0.1, trying to run AnyDesk as flatpak. After installing it from flathub:

Code: Select all

# flatpak run com.anydesk.Anydesk
Screenshot.jpg
Screenshot.jpg (12.76 KiB) Viewed 1937 times

Code: Select all

# su anydesk
# flatpak run com.anydesk.Anydesk
error: Permission denied
#

it does not matter if the following line on /etc/profile is present or not.

Code: Select all

export $(dbus-launch)

Now also Whatsapp starts immediately, regardless if the line is present or not.
Ungoogled Chromium as flatpak from Flapi works, but strangely enough it cannot be set with the dark theme. If you go to chrome://flags and set Force Dark Mode to enabled it stays white. Totally white, regardless of how many times it is restarted. This does not happen on the one from the app-image installer, if I remember well.

Now it seems that the system handles my laptop's battery correctly, even when discharging.

From KLV (Kennel Linux Void) this is the adapted from Puppy Linux run-as-spot script. We have it in /usr/local/bin and have user spot in /home/spot owned by spot:spot

[ "$CMD" ] || exit

if ! [ "${USER_HOME}" ] ; then
	echo "$0 ERROR: could not HOME dir for user $XUSER"

if [ -s /tmp/.${XUSER}-session-bus ]; then

else
	exec bash -c "exec $CMD"
fi

### END ###

So you can try:

Code: Select all

run-as-spot flatpak run com.anydesk.Anydesk

This is the method KLV uses to run the xbps package manager GUI OctoXBPS when running it as the root user. Otherwise as another user it can be started normally. This is a small modification made to the octoxbps.desktop which is placed in /root/.local/share/applications which makes it local to the root user.

Thank you so much!!
Of course there are no problems on Kirkstone (just tried).

It doesn't seem to work...

Code: Select all

# run-as-spot flatpak run com.anydesk.Anydesk
chown: /home/spot/.cache/doc: Permission denied

If I create a shell script named anydesk.sh on /opt containing the code:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
flatpak run com.anydesk.Anydesk

I get:

Code: Select all

# cd /opt
# run-as-spot anydesk.sh
chown: /home/spot/.cache/doc: Permission denied
-sh: line 1: anydesk.sh: command not found
#

Probably the script only supports commands and not files as parameter.

Interesting report. What does /home/spot look like inside? What are the owner and permissions for it?
In KLV the /home/spot directory looks like this:

@Federico KLV is a true multi-user system. The user spot is created during the build and is added to wheel, video and audio groups. I am not sure yet how it is set up in easyVoid, and if anydesk requires a --no-sandbox parameter when attempting to start it as the root user.

Code: Select all

usermod -a -G audio spot
usermod -a -G video spot
xhost +

Why didn't you use Flapi to install it?
It then installs to run as non-root.

If you had chosen the name "anydesk" then it would run as "anydesk" user and there will be a menu entry, also can run /usr/bin/anydesk

Tried this out tonight. Booted right up without any problem at all. So far so good, most things seem to be working!

I like the cockatoo wallpaper :)

Just had a quick question. What would be the best way to install the wl module for broadcom wireless drivers?

With dunfell and kirkstone I guess I got a bit spoiled and there was always a pet containing this module, albeit it had to be updated for every kernel change.

https://bkhome.org/news/202012/broadcom ... river.html

I don't see that for EasyVoid. Does it need to be compiled from scratch for each kernel change?

Thanks!

I like the cockatoo wallpaper :)

Just had a quick question. What would be the best way to install the wl module for broadcom wireless drivers?

With dunfell and kirkstone I guess I got a bit spoiled and there was always a pet containing this module, albeit it had to be updated for every kernel change.

https://bkhome.org/news/202012/broadcom ... river.html

I don't see that for EasyVoid. Does it need to be compiled from scratch for each kernel change?

Thanks!

I didn't create a pet for it because compile failed. The source I have doesn't like the 6.6.11 kernel.
The source file I have is broadcom-sta-15-wl64-2020.txz

Don't recall where I got it from, presume there must be a later version?

On the 6.0.1, trying to run AnyDesk as flatpak. After installing it from flathub:

Code: Select all

# flatpak run com.anydesk.Anydesk

Why didn't you use Flapi to install it?
It then installs to run as non-root.

If you had chosen the name "anydesk" then it would run as "anydesk" user and there will be a menu entry, also can run /usr/bin/anydesk

I tried with Flapi. Hit the "Customize" button, fill in the fields, it installs, also created a desktop icon.

However, it doesn't work. I ran "anydesk" from a terminal, and it just exits, no error message.

Hi Barry, good morning.
I installed it using Flapi, using the Customize button, in exactly the same way I used on Kirkstone, on which it works flawlessly. It is quite an important application, since it makes up the only way of doing remote control on Easy, as far as I know. This must have to do with some peculiarity of AnyDesk, since there are basically no problems with Ungoogled Chromium and Whatsapp.
As you can see, I have the menu entry, which simply does not work, and also the executables on /usr/bin:

This must have to do somehow with a slightly different way in which Void Linux manages users, imo. Anyway, I'm going to remove it and try reinstalling it. If I remember well, as Name I chose AnyDesk, since this is perfectly ok on Kirkstone. I will try naming it just simply anydesk, without upper case letters.

Unfortunately there was no development: it does not run.

Code: Select all

# su anydesk 'flatpak run com.anydesk.Anydesk'

It looks like the custom user created for the flatpak does not have permissions to do something specific or has wrong permissions generally speaking. Hope this can be a hint.

easyVoid development- Problem with Anydesk

EDIT : modification of the title. The problem is not related to Flatpak

I tested the AnyDesk Flatpak.

EDIT:(modification of the sentence for better understanding ) :
As reported by @Federico, in Easy 5.6.5 it launches, not in easyvoid

This is the result of ps | grep anydesk when Anydesk is launched in 5.6.5

11798 anydesk 0:00 {anydesk.bin} /bin/sh /usr/bin/anydesk.bin
11926 anydesk 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --syslog --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session

11959 anydesk 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/usr/share/defaults/at-spi2/accessibility.conf --nofork --print-address 3

11965 anydesk 0:01 /app/extra/anydesk
11969 anydesk 0:00 /app/extra/anydesk --local-service
11973 anydesk 0:00 /app/extra/anydesk --tray

The executables flatpak-bwrap and flatpak-dbus-proxy (in /usr/libexec) appear in the list. They are not present in easyvoid (On the other hand there is a flatpak-system-helper in easyvoid but not in 5.6.5)

EDIT2 : I copied those 2 executables from 5.6.5 to easyvoid to test, but anydesk still do not launch
EDIT3 :
When the executables are present:

Code: Select all

# anydesk
localuser:anydesk being added to access control list

Without the executables:

Code: Select all

# anydesk
#

What? Where did I say that? You probably misunderstood something. Easy 5.6.5 IS Kirkstone. I said exactly the same as you: it runs on EasyOS 5.6.5 and does not on easyVoid.

Sorry for my bad English. The "(as @Federico said)" was for the complete sentence

Didnt find in ibiblio the list of all included programs and versions ...
Also not found in the release notes ...
(sorry for the question).

6.0 and 6.0.1 are alpha releases and are not announced on Distrowatch!!!!!

why not a list of programs for alpha releases too, it is a good habits to take and a good exercice before the big release day...
anyway, that was just a reminder, I did not want to sound rude or anything. :D

I tested the AnyDesk Flatpak.

Last observations.

The Anydesk flatpak launches in Void Linux
The Audacity flatpak launches in easyvoid

After the try of Anydesk in easyvoid, there is a directory .anydesk in /home/anydesk with 2 text files.
The first file is empty, but not the second (anydesk.trace)

The file anydesk.trace consists of several parts like this

info 2024-01-23 18:26:39.083 ad main 2 2 main - * AnyDesk Linux Startup *

info 2024-01-23 18:34:54.097 ad main 2 2 impl_selector - using sse2

Each part corresponds to a launch attempt.

Maybe the problem is relaed to the line :

explode 2024-01-23 18:26:39.122 ad main 2 2 app.common_path - The logged in user differs from the (non-root) user this process runs as. Process UID: 1005 , logged in UID: 0

This line is missing when Andydesk is launched In Easy 5.6.5 :

Re: easyVoid development

Post by rockedge »

I setup a 8 G USB flash drive with easyOS via the EasyDD utility running on a F96-CE_4. Used that to launch easyVoid-6.0.1 on a DELL INSPIRON laptop which runs different variations of KLV's and Puppy Linux's as well.

Booted smoothly and configuration completed, connected to WiFi easily. easyVoid is running nicely and is very responsive. Have not tried out the AnyDesk issue yet, but will see if it will start with some more coaxing.

Haven't tested much out yet but so far it is blazing fast in a Container desktop.
