Okay guys, so I am stumped and confuzzled.
I just did an upgrade to Devuan Beowulf (= Debian Buster), and everything
went fine; except once up and running, I couldn't download more than a few
of Trinity's packages.
After trying different repositories, and playing with my sources list, I
managed to do just a bit better, then I saved the day with some extreme
voodoo using about config (scrolling through the manpages to find something
that work). I ended up getting enough the Trinity packages to download by
using --ignore-hold and dselect-upgrade options. I even searched out the
links to deb packages on the developers' repositories, and downloaded them
with wget, so that I could try forcing install using dpkg.
Now at least (at last) I do have a working system which is a reasonable
facsimile of my previous one, but it does seem like it ought to have been
easier. For about the past three days now, I've lived in the command-line.
Also I would like recommendations for a firewall that displays active
connections and rules, etc., like the old Firestarter used to do. I catch
all kinds of problems by noticing activity on my firewall, but now I cannot
seem to find one that displays active connections, and Firestarter can no
longer be hacked to make it work on a newer system.
Hi Bill,
Ah, yeah, something’s wrong with Devuan Beowulf then? Maybe a bad base
install? I installed MX19 (Debian Buster) a month ago and had zero problems
installing TDE on it (other than my own typo’s). For various testing I’ve
installed it to two machines about 6 to 8 times since.
Also I would like recommendations for a firewall that
displays active
connections and rules
The firewall I’m using is this (which does both of those):
michael@local [~]# aptitude show gufw
Package: gufw
Version: 18.10.0-1
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Priority: optional
Section: admin
Maintainer: Python Applications Packaging Team
<python-apps-team(a)lists.alioth.debian.org>
Architecture: all
Uncompressed Size: 3,534 k
Depends: gir1.2-gtk-3.0, gir1.2-webkit2-4.0, policykit-1, python3-gi, ufw (>=
0.34~rc), python3:any
Description: graphical user interface for ufw
gufw is an easy and intuitive way to manage your Linux firewall. It supports
common tasks such as allowing or blocking
pre-configured, common p2p, or individual port(s), and many others!
Homepage: https://gufw.org/
Tags: admin::configuring, implemented-in::python, interface::graphical,
interface::x11, network::firewall, role::program,
scope::utility, security::firewall, uitoolkit::gtk, use::configuring,
x11::application
active connections> Report tab
rules > Rules tab
It came included in MX (guessing it’s standard Buster). ufw (backend of gufw)
does seem to spam your log files though with with [UFW BLOCK] and [UFW AUDIT]
entries*, so I eventually turned ufw logging off.
In: Edit, Preferences
HTH!,
Michael
