Linux general questions and answer

[Me2019H]

it works now when i change

geany /mnt/sdb1/grub.cfg

but i didn't find qny browser!!

please send me your changes.dat

this time when i opened file manger i didn't see other partition like sda1 .....

if i want to burn the BusterDog in another FlashDisk with the newest Kernel to work on it in another computer which ISO i burn?

Yess see A browser. Maybee another app you can add to your future build.
In fact I also can recommends firejail wicth is a sand box use for browser. In that way when you broswe the sites that you visit can not look at your real machine.

Now I used palemon but I create a squashfs for it. Why? because the browser keeps changing every 6 month or so. So instead of building a new full OS I only build a new squashfs with the new Browser. I will try to build the latest to show you what I mean. Give me some time I had a bad day my other PC broke its power supply died.

 

[cayoenrique]

For your Info do not download. Instead follow steps bellow on how to build squasfs
To download latest palemoon you go to:

]https://www.palemoon.org/download.shtml

Usually I will download the latest build package from Americas. I guess yous may be better from Europe.
So I select Linux 64-bit GTK3 Americas tarball

https://www.palemoon.org/download.php?mirror=us&bits=64&type=linuxgtk3

]

Now for 1rst time you may want to download a build from contributors as it will contain missing stuff like icons and menu. Then go for 1rst time to:

https://www.palemoon.org/contributed-builds.shtml

Select Pale Moon GTK3 repositories for Debian and Ubuntu by Steve Pusser.

https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Astevenpusser%3Apalemoon-GTK3&package=palemoon

Building Squashfs for palemoon

Lets create a working directory to work and extract deb content to it

mkdir -p /mnt/sda3/remaster/palemoon/tempdir
cd /mnt/sda3/remaster/palemoon
wget --no-check-certificate https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevenpusser:/palemoon-GTK3/Debian_10/amd64/palemoon_32.4.0-1.gtk3_amd64.deb
dpkg-deb -x palemoon_32.4.0-1.gtk3_amd64.deb tempdir

Lets create squasfs

mksquashfs tempdir 71-palemoon_32.4.0-1.gtk3_amd64.squashfs -comp xz

Now you can place a copy of 71-palemoon_32.4.0-1.gtk3_amd64.squashfs in your /mnt/sdb1/DogBuster19/live/base
Next time you but palemon will be one of your apps, just look at /usr/share/applications/Pale Moon

Now in a few month with next update you can edit this squash and just add the /usr/lib/palemoon from the Americas or Europe mirror. The you resquash. I will not explain now not to confuse you. Latter

I forgot after you have tested your new palemoon you can go to /mnt/sda3/remaster/palemoon/tempdir and remove/delete tempdir.

 

[cayoenrique]

I use the following extensions
NoScript
GetEmAll!
Palefill Web Technologies Polyfill

If you can not find them here is a copy of what is on my folder

extensions.tar.xz (1.79 MB)

https://workupload.com/file/UKXdp4WHyvt

in palemoon 31 most important is Palefill Web Technologies Polyfill, this is needed for github files. they will not show without it! And I use the downloader a lot.

Apart of that install firejail as it the safeway to browse the net. Only problem is that once in sand box you can only load or save to Download. Well is not a problem, that is what you expect, that the browser can not look into your OS.

Latter I will show you how to use FREE VPN, for web browsing. You can fake you IP from any part of the world. Now the free is good for browsing not for watching movies, as if from private donors.

 

[cayoenrique]

From my test it seems github mow work ok. So we do not need anymore Palefill Web Technologies Polyfill

So my prefered add on are
blockcont_mdsy.xpi This one almost never used. Only used to block images when server or my internet is to slow
Cookies_Manager+_1.9.1.xpi Almost never used. just in case
getemall_1.2.4.xpi This one I used a lot to speed download
NoScript_5.1.9.xpi Used under normal circumstances
Zap_Anything_1.4.1.xpi Nice to have to block all those floating adds or banners that cover the page forcing you to click on them. Instead I zap them off.

 

[Me2019H]

How about opencl?
i install mesa

1) 1rst you need to verify you got working your kernel. uname -r should produce "4.19.0-19-amd64" see there is a 19.

When you do

ls -l /mnt/live/mnt/sdb1/DogBuster19/live/base

You shoould see: "60-linux-headers-4.19.0-19-amd64_4.19.232-1_amd64.squashfs"

Witch means tha if yo do

All I have show you are the Linux-Header needed if you are building a kernel driver!


2) Next you need to allow Debian OS to load packages NONE-FREE

cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.back
geany /etc/apt/sources.list

Notice how we add contrib non-free

#deb https://github.com/doglinux/busterdog/raw/master/amd64/ ./
## package repositories
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ buster main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ buster main
deb http://security.debian.org/ buster/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ buster/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ buster-updates main contrib non-free
#deb http://la.mxrepo.com/antix/buster buster main nonfree
#deb http://mxrepo.com/mx/repo/ buster main non-free

Since we are there lets disable with # google as we do not use chrome
geany /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list

### THIS FILE IS AUTOMATICALLY CONFIGURED ###
# You may comment out this entry, but any other modifications may be lost.
#deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main

Lets get prerequisites.

apt update
apt install build-essential dkms nvidia-detect nvidia-xconfig

No thing should load as you have all already installed

3) Now lets see who OS is so that we can see how it changes later
make note or save info some place

uname -a
lspci -k | grep -i -e"vga" -A3
ls -la /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)  /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build
find /lib/modules/4.19.0-19-amd64 | grep -i -e "nvidia\|nouveau"
lsmod | grep -i -e "nvidia\|nouveau"

4) NOW IMPORTANT, reboot to old Linux and make copy of changes.dat. If something gows wrong you can the ercopy your backup and start again.

cp /mnt/sdb1/DogBuster19/live/changes.dat /mnt/sda3/changes.dat

5) reboot into DogBuster19 and lets make driver

apt install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver 
nvidia-xconfig

PLEASE notice if error shows. Also it is A MOST DO nvidia-xconfig
This tell you Xwindows to use new driver. After it you should have a new file in /etc/X11
You can look at it by doing

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf

So now we need to reboot for all to take effect.

6) Lets test new driver configuration to compare with old. We should see the new driver at "/lib/modules/4.19.0-19-amd64/updates/dkms/nvidia-legacy-340xx.ko"

find /lib/modules/4.19.0-19-amd64 | grep -i -e "nvidia\|nouveau"
lspci -k | grep -i -e"vga" -A3
lsmod | grep -i -e "nvidia\|nouveau"

7) Now lets install OpenCL

sudo apt remove mesa-opencl-icd
sudo apt install opencl-c-headers ocl-icd-opencl-dev ocl-icd-libopencl1 
sudo apt install nvidia-legacy-340xx-opencl-icd firmware-linux clinfo
clinfo

i stuck here after reboot

https://imgur.com/3DHXZ9c

when i write ls it work i see desktop .....
how can i return to the graphical os
or recopy changes.dat

 

[cayoenrique]

1) I think problem is that you did nvidia-xconfig, but you did not install drivefr 1rst!!! “apt install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver. See step 5)
I did ask you to create a backup of change.dat because it is hard to recover if you do not have X-Server running. With is the error you see in Image. “X-server terminated with error” This mean you will not have GUI only Terminal.
2) And I have said may times while testing you need to have more than one Linux so that you can boot from the other one to repair damage of one.
3) You are not printing all VGA info. Next time you should use

find /lib/modules/4.19.0-19-amd64 | grep -i -e "nvidia\|nouveau"
lspci -k | grep -i -e"vga\|nvidia" -A3
lsmod | grep -i -e "nvidia\|nouveau\|i915"

4) Easy way is to boot second Linux. Then remove & replace backup of change.dat. Be careful you do not want to delete the backup copy. Then you reboot and do my POST #67. This time in step 5)&6) lets make sure we build the driver

New STEP 5) & 6) we are changing the order so that we know the driver was build before nvidia-xconfig

so 5&6 are now like this:
1rst we make sure what is the driver we need. So do nvidia-detect

root@live:~# nvidia-detect
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C77 [GeForce 8200] [10de:084b] (rev a2)

Checking card: NVIDIA Corporation C77 [GeForce 8200] (rev a2)
Your card is only supported up to the 340 legacy drivers series.
It is recommended to install the
nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver
package.
root@live:~#

Now that we know it is in fact nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver

apt install nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver

Look at the screen carefully make sure there is no error showing. Then lets see if driver was made and available.

find /lib/modules/4.19.0-19-amd64 | grep -i -e "nvidia\|nouveau"

You should see something like nvidia-legacy or nvidia-legacy-340xx

Note if driver do not install then do not do nvidia-xconfig, because you end up with no X- window GUI.
But If you got the driver, then do now :

nvidia-xconfig

Hope this work

After reboot the same problem

 

[cayoenrique]

I am so upset with myself. I was ask by two friends how to compile using MSVC & NVIdia tools. And since almost no one posted, I decided to give it a try and joing two new friends to the cause.

Boy what a mistake. I just tru to the garbage about 14 hours of FULL work. The only think I gain is that now I can some how compile using cl & nmake!
But I have to do mayor surgery to my program and at the end It compile but when I run it in seconds it closes. What a wait of time.

Now there are bad days. I see you did not got forward. Now Your post show you did all and that NO ERROR was posted. UHMM.
If you have not deleted this change.dat. When you boot and get only to Terminal will be nice to see what is the driver installed . Just to have an Idea.

For Live information , after boot do again

mkdir /mnt/sda3/test
lspci -k | grep -i -e"vga\|nvidia" -A3  > /mnt/sda3/test/results.txt
lsmod | grep -i -e "nvidia\|nouveau\|i915"  >> /mnt/sda3/test/results.txt
modprobe nvidia  >> /mnt/sda3/test/results.txt

And if you want to learn how to mount the change.dat to look at the files it contains, like looking at the logs in \var\log\*log
or looking into some of the etc folder. The let me know. I know just like how I am felling, so much work for nothing.

I guess you still have Win7 to test.

For Live information , after boot do again

Exaclty what I was asking in the other thread, See that Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller id the HD4400 inside the CPU.

I am no expert but your xorg.conf has missing information I can see Nvidia but no Intell !!

You never showed result for So I am not totally sure nvidia-legacy-340xx is your driver

nvidia-detect

And we may need you to do

xrandr --listproviders

I will assume you output will be similar to mine where modsetings is Provider 0 at the top

enrique@live:$ xrandr --listproviders

Now from past record I got

In Good old Buster use geany to create new file called /mnt/sda3/new_xorg.conf and add just this

Now, reboot to bad Busterdog19 and get up to fail gui.

xrandr > /mnt/sda3/t3.txt
xrandr --listproviders  >> /mnt/sda3/t3.txt
nvidia-detect  >> /mnt/sda3/t3.txt
cd /etc/X11
mv xorg.conf /mnt/sda3/oldxorg.conf
cp /mnt/sda3/new_xorg.conf xorg.conf

Then reboot. Hopefully this time you will have GUI as we ask to use Intel modeseting driver

let me know how it goes. And post /mnt/sda3/t3.txt here if we need to do follow up.

Best luck.

This is where I say "I told you" I believe in post#70. See it is saying that your best driver is not what we install nvidia-legacy-340xx but it suggest to use a newer nvidia-legacy-390xx.

Now I am preaty sure it is not your problem I bet nvidia-legacy-340xx should work too. From what I seen it is that nvidia-xconfig did not create a xorg.conf for a Hibrid GPU System. It is missing Intels GPU.
Now where is all the info I has ask you?

Any way to check what the module do and if the driver is working

lsmod | grep -i nvidia > /mnt/sda3/mdp.txt
modprobe -r nvidia >> /mnt/sda3/mdp.txt
modprobe nvidia  >> /mnt/sda3/mdp.txt
dmesg >> /mnt/sda3/mdp.txt

Then look inside /mnt/sda3/mdp.txt to what driver "nvidia" is reporting

So what was the result of the config I prepare for you foe Xwindows /mnt/sda3/new_xorg.conf . Did it resolve the no Gui. It should. Why? becouse it tels xorg to use you Intel GPU witch was working?
You know what, I bet you that if you remove it and reboot it may even work .

mv xorg.conf /mnt/sda3/oldxorg.conf

next time you should get to your desktop

I recopy my backup and start again (post67 step4)

and then i install nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver

but when use new driver with nvidia-xconfig in X11 it didn't work
this is xorg.conf

but when i reboot the same problem
