if you've just done a fresh install of Devuan 5 Daedalus then your /etc/apt/sources.list should have lines like

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main

@stultumanto, came across your post regarding the unknown Dell admin password:
ttps://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=47591#p47591

this search on dell.com shows 69.7K results(naturally a better search will narrow down the results):

would be great if you could figure it out

not an answer to your specific question perhaps but still interesting for the larger community

ttps://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/start/os-recommendations/

the above claims ceph can use sysvinit or systemd

the below says systemd is required for cephadm

side comment/note:

remember having one of these netbooks years ago(until the magic smoke was released from it by an errant screwdriver blade)

seem to recall in those days that the (u)efi setups were quite buggy and different vendors appeared to purposefully go "off-specification"

re: @aluma lenovo s205 _questions_
ttps://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=47256#p47256

the posts are somewhat confusing

there is no UEFI-legacy switch, while I booted via MBR, there were no problems.

so the above quote describes when/where the hdd/ssd was MBR partitioned?(seems likely for a circa 2011 netbook)

Now I have created an EFI partition, root directories, swap and /home.
I installed openSuse first, everything went fine, the bootloader is installed in UEFI, there are two of its folders in the partition, etc.

and then this describes same/different hdd/ssd? MBR/GPT partitioning? dual-boot? triple-boot? re: openSuse re: PSlinuxOs re: Daedalus

this seems confused/confusing to present and future thread visitors.

while i am composing this, more posts are being added but questions remain.

thanks for the response and thoughts but we've researched every source and manual we can/could find and nothing has ever helped to gain positive every-time access/entry into the advanced bios settings(bought this machine used so it is possible that some altered, buggy, and/or subverted bios firmware was installed by a previous owner/user/other)

#422 Re: Installation » Windows, Linux and Refracta. » 2024-01-06 11:33:41

our lenovo y580 has a "normal" bios and an "advanced" bios
we have never figured out how to consistently access the advanced bios
(we have only seen it 3 times and the last time we grabbed a camera and took pics of each area/screen/tab for future reference)

we would much prefer to have the advanced bios menu available every time we enter the bios area
(hopefully we will come across someone somewhere sometime who has the correct answer/process to do this)

good luck!

Maybe we will have to give up on Debian, totally.... & maybe even Linux itself! :(

I, personally, am investigating using BSD instead of Linux, for all of my computing needs - even looking at Haiku as a desktop system. :)

Commercial interests are ruining Linux to my mind..... it just isn't what it used to be. ;)

I have really appreciated the effort put in by the Devuan devs, but if it gets to be too great a task in the future, I'll certainly understand......

I too, truly believe relying on Debian is coming to an end. Thanks to the Devuan team we have had a few extra years! Honestly if it were not for family commitments regarding hardware/software/etc I would already be using _something_ else completely. RIP Debian. damn shame.

indeed.
