YES PLEASE! KDE Plasma is making my hair fall out. My son had installed enlightenment on chimera for me on my laptop and it worked seamlessly. Sadly, that laptop got taken out by lightning and I am starting over. Even more sadly my son is currently not here to install it for me so wish me luck! Was hoping to see if someone else here was using it successfully on excalibur?

I don't know if this fits in with anything you really need because the desktop environments are their own animal but I would be willing to donate/develop some good wallpapers that don't burn the eyeballs like the pink stuff on kde plasma. My skills lie in photography and art, not coding so it is the only way I could be helpful. I think that a 'devuan' wallpaper pack featuring quality photography and fun design that is ergonomic for the eyeballs (is that a thing?) would be really fun to put together. I also illustrate and draw comics. I always make my own wallpapers from my art. I don't know what is involved in the backend of wallpaper so I don't know how worthwhile this would be on your end but I think it might be appealing as a little perk for the newbies coming from slicker packaging OS. I really appreciate what you do here and your installer is so awesome for those less experienced. Anyway, just a thought and an offer in case it helps. ps, I'm also used to designing for other people and bringing their ideas to life so I'm pretty open to input and easy to work with.

Ive been trying to nuke the computer for some time now but I had no access to a terminal and grub was not responding to commands. None of the instructions I could find could tell me how to do this nuking without a terminal. The wipe command I was able to do earlier seems to have cleaned up enough crud to let me install. Now I can boot with the usb inserted (even though It says to take it out) so I can finally access the terminal. It has bios uefi and legacy. I will read up on that link. Thank you.

The installer says that #2 primary 33.3 MB f ext4 / is the problem file.

Couldn't figure out how to post a picture. Error says.

Failed to create file system
The ext4 file system creation in partition #2 of SCSI8 (0,0,0) (SDA) failed.

settings are:

pri/log 1.0 GB free space
#5 logical 111.4 GB
#6 logical 6.1 GB k swap

Now I'm more confused, what do you mean by automated installer? I am using the desktop installer on a usb. It worked perfectly on my son's desktop but mine is having problems. Granted mine was messed up to begin with.

Vivaldi does update. I have been using it across windows, linux, mac and android for a few years. It's been pretty seemless for me and the android app was the deciding factor. They may not be fully open source, only 70% so but they are one of very few browsers that can go on all four platforms and allow custom default search which is the feature I set the bar with. Being that I am only semi linux literate it wouldn't really matter to me if all the code were open cause I wouldn't understand it anyway. Brave are much shadyer in my opinion (did a deep dive on them once) but I can understand developers not liking vivaldi. They do, however serve a purpose and their compatibility and customization without any coding skills is handy for someone like me.

I used the instructions above to install it with apt install and the full path and it is working great. I was missing the full path for the install. Is it possible that the wrong vivaldi file is downloaded? What are the computer specs and which devuan excalibur download, example live usb or fully installed, which desktop are you using? If you can't uninstall there should still be some way to delete the file from your system. The more information you can detail about the setup. the better someone here can help you. Vivaldi does occasionally freeze on my son's windows laptop when we use it to watch tv and it takes xing out sometimes a couple of times or occasionally a restart to get vivaldi to behave so there is the possibility that there is a vivaldi glitch even though it usually works smoothly. (or the windows 10 on my son's laptop is having seizures,we don't really know...)

I think I see what I missed.

Installing Vivaldi via the terminal
After downloading a suitable package for your distro, you can use the following commands (from the directory where you saved Vivaldi) to install one of our Linux packages directly from the terminal [where ‘vivaldi*‘ equals the name of the Vivaldi install package].

Ubuntu/Debian based distros:
sudo apt-get -y install ./vivaldi*.deb

This part:(from the directory where you saved Vivaldi)
Unfortunately I'm not sure what they mean by this.
