Yep, it's me again....
Thanks for the extra info though, this kind of thread gets read by more than those who post them, so any extra is always welcome.
Hmm, I prefer it not automatically reacting - I use shell scripts if I want multi instructions operated.
(I only had one instance of auto executing on some other distro, & thought it to be a rather dodgy set up, needless to say, I ditched that particular distro promptly).
Still, we're all different, & like different things - just adding my two penneth to let our devs know that some like it how it is.
Convert mp4 to mp3
I have a load of mp4 files with spaces in their names, the first line replaces the spaces with _ so that the second line can convert them to mp3.
#!/bin/sh
for f in *; do mv "$f" `echo $f | tr ' ' '_'`; done
for X in *.mp4;do ffmpeg -i $X $X.mp3;done
USB3 has great read speeds, but I've found the write speeds to be all over the place, some of my USB3 pendrives only write at 10mbs!
USB2 pendrives write much faster than these.

Didn't know either - I've only ever added something to a wiki page once, maybe twice, but that was years ago - I've totally forgotten how they work.
Took a quick look at the opening page, there seem to be an awful lot of sections to contend with.......?!

I don't think that will help....
Peppermint is now a derivative of Devuan, like MIYO, Crowz, Star, etc.
Basically, they are offering their (present, & future users) the option of a systemd free version, that's all.
I found out something else about these wifi sticks & Ubuntu yesterday - the live system sees & uses then, but when I installed Ubuntu on a spare computer, it didn't find & use them, (tried a couple of times, in case it was my lack of experience with Ubuntu) - they seem to use a .bin file - so I'm thinking these are Windows drivers.
I guess I'll just keep on swapping my other wifi sticks around, until we have some proper Linux drivers for them.
I installed 5.18 from backports, but unfortunately, they still didn't work.
(However, on a whim, I tried them under an Ubuntu live session, & they worked - so hopefully, all I've got to do is find the right modules & put them into my Devuan installations. )
It's mainly a case of more product support.
I've just upgraded to 5.18 (using 'backports') because some USB wifi sticks I recently bought need 5.15 or greater; unfortunately, they still don't work yet.
EDIT: Just tried Ubuntu desktop live with these wifi sticks & they do work - so I've just got to get the kernel modules into my Devuan installations.
@Ogis1975:
When Devuan has as many maintainers as Debian has, I would likely expect the same, but until then......
(These things happen.....some other software maintainers have been known to forget to renew keys too.)
EDIT: So glad this problem was sorted out so quickly, many thanks.
Thanks for the info, will try on one of my other machines first, (don't want to mess up my main one).
Seem to be having trouble with this USB wifi stick, but can't configure it, as it doesn't seem to show up in Advanced Network Settings, (nor does it show up in ceni on antiX).
(Loads the r8188eu module which should work, on antiX.)
Just found out it needs 5.15 or 5.16 kernel.....I'm on Devuan which has 5.10 at the moment.
this warning about package authentication is kind of annoying and pops up for every 'install' command
any chance of getting around it?
As said above should fix it...
# wget http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/d/devuan-keyring/devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb
# dpkg -i devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb
...& don't forget to
sudo apt-get update
Before trying to install programs.
Just ordered some pre used computer books....having a reminisce of command line days.

As far as regular desktop users, & small networks go, doas would be a better option for most distros.
It was introduced because a lot of admins had problems configuring sudo properly, & it has a lot less options, which makes it easier.
They introduced doas just after I finally got around to buying Sudo Mastery, just my luck.
The freedom from systemd is why most, if not all, of us are here.
Once released, I think you should be able to upgrade your system to it, & get all the new bits.
Sorry......I never click on a random link.
I was on 78.12, so I upgraded, & now its 91.11.0esr, hope that helps.
I have Firefox-esr from the repos on my 32bit Devuan Live install on my old Toshiba Satellite laptop, works OK for me.
Just one small problem I've encountered, so far, it doesn't seem to like Radeon graphics (running on a HP thin client - it only gives 800x600) - I shall have to see what Devuan Live loads & add them in...
(This was the Fluxbox version, just in case it matters.)
EDIT: Seems to be the VGA graphics card controlling the D-sub socket. If I attach a DP to VGA converter cable I get SXGA - but if I use Devuan Live, I get a whole load of options - so these thin clients have gone back to that.
(EDIT2: My other thin client is also using the Devuan Live, & that too gives me loads of options, using a DP to VGA, or DP to HDMI cable.)
EDIT3: My little laptop is now using the Fluxbox version, I prefer it to JWM.
Unless the community stops jawing and starts doing . . .
Unfortunately, I'm just a desktop user, tried a bit of programming years ago, but never managed to get far, & only use the basics of most programs, i.e. I don't even change the look & feel of a distro, other than the desktop wallpaper, but I spread the word about our distro as best I can, & help by answering questions on the forum when I can too.
If I want something other than Firefox ESR, i download it from Mozilla website to a directory in my /home directory, & then run it from there, works without interferring with the main one.
You should have used 1) & entered /dev/sda1, or similar
/dev/sda is the whole disk, if it is partitioned it won't work.
/dev/sdb is most likely what you are installing from, such as a pendrive.
