You will have to setup your sources.list correctly. You obviously did an offline install. In this case the sources.list just contains a reference to the cdrom of the installation medium.
More info in the Ubuntu wiki which is a great source of information, and on this page about Devuan specifics: https://www.devuan.org/os/releases and https://www.devuan.org/os/packages.
That command apt -t daedalus-backports install will automatically pull in all dependencies as listed in the package.
Additional packages that are not dependencies must be installed with the same method as kicad.
Another question I'm not entirely sure of. If there are updates in the backport package, will that be covered by?:
apt update && apt upgrade
Yes, as long as backports remains enabled in the sources.list.
If you just want kicad from backports, just amend the above line to the sources.list. Pinning isn't required, no backports package will be installed by default.
Then execute:
# apt update
# apt -t daedalus-backports install kicadAnd you will get updates for kicad if they appear in backports.
What prevents you from having several kernels installed and choosing the one you need when loading the OS?
Nothing but: lately the update routine behind linux-image-amd64 just keeps max 3 kernels. On my Daedalus PC I have the 6.1.0-13, and 6.4 and two 6.5 kernels from backports. And my linux-image-amd64 is from backports so my kernel updates all come from there now. The 6.1 kernel history has been deleted by suggested apt autoremove actions.
And all of this without grub customizer (which caused me a lot of grief, so I think this tool cannot be recommended).
What prevents you from selecting the desired kernel version from the repository in Synaptic, for example?
Nothing except the standard solution is to let the meta-package linux-image-amd64 take care for updates. At least I am doing so.
You always are able to install kernels that are listed in the repository. I personally have no idea how that looks like.
The repository has a program grub-customizer, this is a GUI editor for the configuration file and a bootloader installer.
The 6.510 kernel has been installed on the laptop for a week now, and it works without problems.
What up with you today? grub-customizer is off-topic and we are talking about kernel 6.1.0-15.
That new kernel may run fine on many computers, but if you listen into the Debian forums you will find several issues with this kernel and network problem, mostly WiFi, but not only.
The kernel comes down from Debian. So a bug report into Debian would make sense. Though if I read the messages right the problem really is at kernel.org.
Looks like your issues add to the network problems seen by others with the -15 kernel.
Just stumbled across: there seems to be a task for laptop-SW.
Run:
# taskseland tick the laptop stuff.
Well, on my Daedalus fdisk still is present as a Devuan forked version. Maybe your version still was the Debian based one? You should be able to re-install fdisk.
I am using grub with luks and LVM, works fine for me for many years by now.
By chance, are you running kernel 6.1.0-15? Then try 6.1.0-13.
Looks like 6.1.0-15 is available by now.
As the message says: package is broken. There seems to be an issue with the ext4 file system.

You will have to wait for the fix ...
Looks like that was a typical temporary hickup of the testing repo and its mirrors.
Glad that its solved now.
Just tested on my Excalibur VM against deb.devuan.org:
# apt list firmware-iwlwifi
Auflistung… Fertig
firmware-iwlwifi/testing 20230625-1 allMaybe the mirror isn't up to date? Perhaps you try deb.devuan.org/merged instead?
Well, the netinstall is meant for computers which have a working (wired) network connection to download everything that is not on this small media. So if the wifi requires drivers most likely they are not included. You either need to use the CD or DVD version, or identify the chip used.
Please run and poste output here. inxi could be an alternative.
# lspci | grep network
# lsusb | grep network
# inxi -FzToo bad, I thought it might work. I do disable Secure Boot on every computer I take my hands on.
Try the netinstall ...
I have no experience with machines with two graphics engines like your laptop. Can you switch to the AMD card in the bios by chance?
No missing firmware messages during the update-initramfs any more?
Have you got firmware-misc-nonfree installed?
# apt list firmware-misc-nonfreeOh, copy & paste problem, sorry for that. When having a very close look to my command I saw that for some reason the first "–" before the "u" is a long hyphen instead of a normal dash "-". Some damn auto-correction mechanism ...
Just replace the long hyphen by a dash. Then it should work.
I would say forget about the old fglrx driver. Its outdated, no more maintained and won't work with current kernels and xorg versions.
Which release are we talking about? Daedalus? Based on the kernel that should be correct. Which graphics card is involved?
Make sure that you have non-free and non-free-firmware enabled in your sources.list. Then:
# apt update
# apt install firmware-amd-graphics xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu
# update-initramfs -u -k allUse the Download link on the top of this page. Select devuan_daedalus. Then select installer_iso.
There you got the choice. The 4G one is the Desktop DVD.
No idea about Gnome, I am a Cinnamon user. Can't stand Gnome.
Well, if you don't want to listen to other users advise, you could use the forum's search function. Here is a thread that might help you: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5407 that bring some other mixers into the game ...
Have a look at geany
Thats normal. Without a mixer the dialogue in the control center is incomplete.
