I'm not sure about the Pi Display but it works fine with an HDMI monitor, at least with XFCE4. Though probably a window manager alone would be more appropriate than a full desktop environment. Sound works via HDMI as well. Bloated graphical apps will max out the CPU though.

Re: [DNG] U2F on Devuan
Got it. Install pamu2fcfg and libpam-u2f,and /etc/udev/rules.d/70-u2f.rules from Yubico's github. Open Firefox and go to about:config . Search for u2f. Double click on the three parameters that it shows, to turn false to true. Now you can log into web sites with U2F. It's possible to configure PAM to use it for login and screen lock, and SSH logins.

Pulseaudio is sending to the sound > interface, and nothing comes out of the speaker. Any clues? How much do you need Pulseaudio? I've had tremendous success solving sound problems by uninstalling Pulseaudio. Of course, I then had to configure individual sound apps to use ALSA instead of Pulseaudio, but it's been worth it. If using Pulse for one app (skype, for example), you can use apulse to temporarily give that one app Pulseaudio "power" without gumming up the whole system. I think it went something like the following: apulse skype By the way, I recently found a program called qasmixer which I like better than alsamixer for dealing with sound.

NSD, from the same authors. IMO. If you can run those distinct functions (authoritative and recursive) on different IPs, good, and that's recommended security practice in any event. (The recursive server logically should be an inside machine and well protected.) If you cannot, then there are a couple of different ways of running both daemons on the same IP. My favourite at the moment is to use dnsproxy. But You said 'local LAN DNS'. This leaves me wondering whether you really need a full-blown authoritative server for that use-case. In case you were unaware, Unbound does do "stub-zones", which might be enough for your local-LAN needs. > I can see both knot and nsd are packaged in devuan, but have no > experience with any outside BIND9 and macOS.

It couldn't hurt to compare results among recursive nameservers available on Linux. FWIW, I've never seen either Unbound or any other such software display symptoms such as you imply -- with the exception of cases where the nameserver repeatedly tried IPv6-based resolution, that timed out, and the nameserver fell back on IPv4-based resolution.[1] Open-source (and maintained) recursive nameservers for Linux, from my bestiary (http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Network_Other/dns-servers.html): o BIND9 (recusive functionality thereof) o dnscache from djbdns o Deadwood (next-generation effort from the MaraDNS author) o PowerDNS Recursor o Unbound I'm not including the MaraDNS suite in the above list on grounds of redundancy, because the suite's current recursive module _is_ Deadwood by default, and used for recursive service unless you go out of your way to substitute/enable the prior MaraDNS recursive code (not recommended). I commend you for trying to optimise Unbound's configuration. For whatever reason, I've not felt a need to, to date. (It's always Just Worked[tm], and the RAM/CPU load has been so low that performance tuning has seemed pointless.) [1] The best tool for figuring out DNS problems tends IMO to be 'dig'. Please note its '-4' and '-6' switches to force IPv4 and IPv6 query modes. The +tcp flag is sometimes also useful for diagnosis by overcoming the UDP default for most operations, thereby exposing firewalling blunders. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

[DNG] Partial graphics after in-place upgrade from Ascii to Beowulf on amd64
Perhaps there is an installer image for Beowulf somewhere and this can be solved with a fresh re-installation? Sunday, I did an in-place upgrade from Ascii to Beowulf on amd64. I have only partial graphics since and must get past some problems with (I think) X11. When I allow slim, lightdm, or xdm one at a time (removing the others) to start, the keyboard and mouse do not respond not even to switch to a console even though they cause the display to show the graphical login screen. However, when I disable / remove these display managers then startx gives some lip about modules not existing. When I run startx manually from a console, something similar happens though I get a blank graphical display with the unmovable mouse pointer centered on the screen. But the window manager seems not to be running nor the desktop environment and, again, both the keyboard and the mouse are unresponsive so timeout is a way to get it to drop back to the shell. $ timeout 15 startx X.Org X Server 1.20.0 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64 x86_64 Debian Current Operating System: Linux slimbook 4.17.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.17.8-1 (2018-07-20) x86_64 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.17.0-1-amd64 root=UUID=3f66d242-f064-4f6e-a110-6974886fb9a4 ro quiet Build Date: 01 July 2018 05:07:24PM xorg-server 2:1.20.0-3 (https://www.debian.org/support) Current version of pixman: 0.34.0 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
