Testers needed for latest connman

[Forum Admin anticapitalista]

Before moving our latest build of connman 1.40 to the main repos, we need to make sure it works without issues.

We need testers running live/frugal and installed for 32 and 64 bit, for antiX-19, antiX-21(b), testing and sid users.

1. Temporarily, add dev to the antix.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d eg for buster (antiX-19)

deb http://repo.antixlinux.com/buster buster main nonfree nosystemd dev

for antiX-21

deb http://repo.antixlinux.com/bullseye bullseye main nonfree nosystemd dev

2. Assuming connman is already installed – to get the latest (it will also install connman-iptables) simply

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

3. Report here your findings, giving details of your antiX set up eg antiX-21-runit (32bit) frugal.
Hopefully, connman updates smoothly and the network works as before.

Thanks

The new connman fine for me on antiX-21b2 installed. Unrelated, I have to use kernel 4.9 as my Wifi doesn’t work in 5.10 unless I blacklist wl and modprobe b43 (or something like that — I did get it working but did not yet write down the steps and whatever I did broke the way 4.9 was working — they seem to need opposite configs. So I went back to 4.9 for now until I can do more investigation.

Systems tested:

antiX-21b2-runit amd64 – installed. Works perfectly out of the box and gives me the impression it connects faster. No issues in my limited use.

antiX-19.X base amd63 – live + persistence. Installed OK, and no connection problems. Unfortunately, I already had the /etc/resolv.conf file pointing to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf, so I don’t know if others pointing to /run/connman/resolv.conf will have issues after the update.

About connman 1.40 – Includes by default many fixes and improvements that were not present in 1.36.2, so it should be a recommended update.

I would advice to NOT include connman-1.40 in the main repo for antiX-19 (to avoid the problems I caused before) OR to remove the /etc/default/connman file from the .deb package (only for buster build).

If others have different experience in antiX 19, then ignore the above advise.

Briefly tested antiX-21b2-runit amd64 – Frugal. Live should be the same:
No good.
Appears to work fine but checking Connman version after following anticapitalista directions it is still 1.36. Installed bunch of upgrades though from the added repo… Connamn was not among them.

@olsztyn – can you post output of inxi -r?

Remove this line from your repos since you are using bullseye.

deb http://repo.antixlinux.com/buster buster main nonfree nosystemd dev

Add dev to this repo deb http://la.mxrepo.com/antix/bullseye/ bullseye main nosystemd nonfree dev

Thanks! Bullseye it is… Not Buster after all…

Installed latest connman rebooted wifi broken antiX 19.4 64 bit
Ahem, wired broken too

Maybe this, mentioned by xecure is the problem ?
/etc/resolv.conf file pointing to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf, so I don’t know if others pointing to /run/connman/resolv.conf

@ModdIt – try deleting /etc/default/connman (you might need to reboot afterwards)

Same problem here as Xecure and Moddit described on antiX19.2-full after the update,
deleting /etc/default/connman and reboot helped here, though

Please point me to where/how I can directly download the new connman debs, I can purge and reinstall from a
stick to see if that gives a fix

@ModdIt – these debs do not have /etc/default/connman

connman debs

You only need the connman-iptables one

Cd to wherever you download the deb to and then sudo apt install ./connman-iptables_1.40-1.0antix2_amd64.deb

Again, you might need a reboot.
