Ah, what I had to do was use the "--allow-release-info-change" option when updating the repositories due to changing from "testing" to "stable". Rookie mistake! After doing that chromium installed OK.

Although Firefox works fine for most sites, occasionally there will be one that works better in Chrome/Chromium. I attempted to install the Chromium Browser through Synaptic in Devuan Daedalus but downloading of the packages failed. Do different repositories need to be enabled?

I have not changed anything in the default "/etc/apt/sources.list" file, which looks like this:

(There is nothing in "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/".)

Thanks! I had previously looked at slim.conf but didn't find where to change that setting. Using the update-alternatives method worked great, the laptop comes up automatically in LXQt without requiring a login.

I've installed Devuan Daedalus on an old laptop that will be given to a friend for general web browsing and email. It works well but the LXQt desktop would be preferable because it looks more similar to Windows, which the user is more familiar with. I installed LXQt and it works but Xfce4 still comes up as default. (The user is logged in automatically.) I don't recall seeing an option of which desktop to choose during Devuan installation but I may have missed that. Installation was done from a live Devuan system running on a flash drive.

Is there a way to have the user automatically logged into LXQt instead of Xfce4?
