That's the way I like it, baby.

Yes, OK, fine, I admit it: I didn't know that the "correct" term for a person who maliciously infiltrates computer systems was "cracker" and that "hacker" is in fact an old term used by computer nerds. What an idiot I am

I've never read Eric S. Raymond's seminal How to Become a Hacker text and I certainly didn't get my avatar from his site here: http://www.catb.org/hacker-emblem/

So will you please stfu about this now and stop dragging this thread off topic? Thanks!

You are aware that words can have more than one meaning, right?

Anyway, I think we're begging the question here — language is fluid and meanings shift over time.

Yes, it's here: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=15271#p15271

Perhaps the OP could also try un-commenting the GRUB_GFXMODE line to set the resolution to 640x480

This should show the available framebuffer resolutions:

# apt install hwinfo
# hwinfo --framebuffer | grep 'Mode '

Try one of those if 640x480 isn't supported.

What's bullshit?

"Cracker" is used as a derogatory term for Caucasians, as my Wikipedia link shows and also as you yourself commented.

Yes, I'm aware that I used the terminology incorrectly but only because to me a "cracker" is exactly what Panopticon's quote describes so I just used the lazy, inaccurate term.

@Ron: grow a thicker skin, perhaps? I was observing rather than insulting. But whatever.

And I don't think the Devuan developers are in this for the money so "marketing" isn't really relevant here.

Thanks, that's better

So you are booting in UEFI mode using Devuan's grub.cfg, which has the timeout set to 5 seconds.

I don't know why you're not seeing the menu, it should appear for 5 seconds.

Is there a delay of about 5 seconds before the system boots?

Perhaps the selected graphics mode is incompatible with your system.

EDIT: try editing /etc/default/grub and replace

#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

with

GRUB_TERMINAL=console

(Remove the # symbol.)

Then save the file and run

update-grub

Can we also see

efibootmgr -v
find /boot/efi

Why would genuine hackers change the home page if they wanted to plant malware? Think about it...

I tried a 32-bit VM with 6GiB assigned and I couldn't get over 4GiB used but I didn't try very hard and I only have 4GiB machines available now so I can't test again.

According to Linus it is possible to use more than 4GiB with multiple applications running but they don't work very well (see the link I provided).

Some 32-bit versions of Windows can use PAE as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_ … ft_Windows

But anyway, a 32-bit operating system will be less secure and will run slower than the 64-bit alternative so there really is no reason to choose that for a 64-bit capable processor.

Where did you tell the installer to place the bootloader?

Are you sure you selected the USB stick?
