Hi,
as far as I know, just setting the current kernel version on hold should do the trick (not sure about the generic linux-image-amd64 package).
## show the installed version(s):
$ uname -a
## and/or
$ apt list --installed | grep linux-image
$ apt-mark hold linux-image-$VERSION-amd64
## or:
$ apt-mark hold linux-image-$VERSION-amd64 linux-headers-$VERSION-amd64 linux-headers-$VERSION-commonIn short: Yes.
Some packages are "kept back" when running apt upgrade, but install through apt dist-upgrade.
E.g. kernel and *some* other packages will stuck at older versions.
At least this is the case on my freia installation.
Thanks for the reply!
I did that to some extend, but didn't help - (EDIT) even if it should have.
After sacrificing more hours of lifetime to pointless ... . The "FM_SORT_CASE_SENSITIVE" declaration in the sources caught my attention.
There is an option, not in "Preferences", but in the main menu:
"View" ==> "Sort Files" ==> "Ignore Name Case".
Deselecting it results in a common sort order.
Now I feel stupid and hate GUI's even more!
Sorting files by name results in a strange order, when numbers or [._- ] are involved.
An example is shown in the 1st column in the code block below.
Is it possible to change sorting to ls alike?
I use a start script for pcmanfm anyway and messed around with different values for "LC_COLLATE" and "LC_NUMERIC", but no success.
Are there other "LC_?=?" variables?
Or is it a setting for gtk-2 / gtk-3?
Example:
Listing of "Downlaods" as a collection of various file names without convention.
There are 3 columns, each sorted by name and cutted at the 10th characters.
Sorting was done by PCmanFM (c1), Double Commander (c2) and ls (c3).
The list is not complete, just the first 35 entries are shown.
$ cat _sort_PCmanFM.txt | cut -c -10 | paste -d ' ' - _sort_dc.txt | cut -c -21 | paste -d ' ' - _sort_ls.txt | cut -c -32

Purpose: Modify 'mullvad-vpn_2025.14_amd64.deb' to include sysv-init scripts.
Output: 'mullvad-vpn_2025.14~1sysv_amd64.deb'
'DEBIAN/postinst':
mullvad service is NOT enabled at boot time (intentionally)
systemctl lines are commented out: --> no need for systemctl on devuan; then on systemd also NOT enabled at boot time
alternatively: systemctl lines can stay --> updated "docker-systemctl-replacement" needed
Enable service: see post above "forte #9"
The following is a script to create the modified debian package. Adjust to your flavour.

It can be a pleasure to apt-get purge systemd ![]()
"EDIT" in post #1 is the explanation.
"encrypted" has to be slower (and LVM makes it worse). How much depends on the encryption method andcomputer hardware.
Encrypted zeros are no longer zeros, except the encryption sucks.
Or in short: No, you're doing it wrong.
First word says ceres.
What else would you run as a beginner ... stable is boring!
$ sudo apt-get install enlightenmentshould do it.
I gave it a try once, but my brain doesn't work this way.
Just stumbled upon https://www.heise.de/en/news/Wine-11-0- … 40791.html
(("WoW64" is micros~1's build-in emulation layer on win64 systems to run win32 programs.))
No need to add i386 architecture to play old games - I'm waiting since ages for that to happen.
This also removes complexity from the installtion.
Thanks a lot, WineHQ!
wine-11 is not in the official debian repos by now.
At least there is a choice: i386 architecture or the foreign WineHQ repo.
/dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:17.0-ata-1-part1 /mnt/bay1 auto user,noatime,noauto,exec 0 2
The mount options in the example ("user,noauto") are working with pcmanfm and in a terminal. So probably anywhere else too?!.
Btw. Interesting method to mount a partition using pci-ids. Didn't know tthat. Apreciated.
Hi,
I'm on freia too and had authentication errors until yesterday. The error message was - in my case:
"Incorrect permission on/usr/lib/policykit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1(need to setuid root)"
The solution from
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1115061 … ent-helper
= sudo chmod 5755 /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1 fixed it.
Edit:
There is a discussion respective other permissions to apply - I do not know such stuff.
Can you login via ssh from another computer?
Or boot daedalus and do a chroot into the excalibur installation?
To reconfigre the keyboard:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configurationYou made my day!
gkrellm is just working and maintained - 13 houes ago, says https://git.srcbox.net/gkrellm/gkrellm
On my AM4-mainboard, the best collection of temperature sensors is at /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon[0-4]/temp[1-9]_input
This does not include the GPU, which gkrellm covers.
The following may or may not apply ... .
Assuming you already did
# update-grubDoes grub's "advanced options" menu show something useful?
Is a kernel installed?
Are you booting in UEFI or BIOS mode? Can you switch between them?
Did you mount the EFI-partition in excalibur?
chroot probably menas there is a functioning linux installation. Does this grub find devuan excalibur when running update-grub?
@Micronaut
I do not know how or where gkrellm gathers information, but it found a lot of temperature sensors on cpu, gpu, nvme, network, gigabyte-wmi, thermal_zone[0,1]. And presented them as a list to choose from to display. Only the (data-grave-)HDD's temperature was missing.
It's a good and convenient tool to monitor temperatures (and more).
e.g.: /etc/init.d/networking restart
@_mAL_4_th3_fl00r #1 : beside that the commands are to execute from right to left ... what is "cmac; .z" doing?
is package firmware-iwlwifi installed?
Ups!
I read RedGreen925 post and thought it was an update from the OP.
Sorry for the confusion.
Looks like the package usrmerge is not installed. It is mandatory to install before switching to excalibur or ceres.
# apt-get install usrmerge
