Well, its a LO document in German, and it contains one or the other more or less private comment I don't want to share.
I understand. 
By the way, did you see what I did in my post directly above your post? I put the fix in the wrong place. Should I correct that or just leave it alone?
#27 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Want external drive to automatically mount when plugged in » 2025-11-29 16:03:41
I don't know what's going on, but now when I browse to /etc/udev/rules.d it shows the folder as completely empty. However, the fix still works. Any clue what's going on? (In the meantime I unmarked it as "SOLVED" even though it still is working.)
EDIT
I see what I did. I put the fix in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d and not /etc/udev/rules.d. But it's working. Should I leave well enough alone? Or will an update erase the file in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d?

I have a long document describing all these tweaks.
I might be interested in that.

So I went ahead and just did it, and it works. Thanks rolfie. Now I have something new to add to my list of things to do after a reinstall. I really hate these things that "corporate actors" (to use your phrase) do trying to protect the user from himself. It sucks for those of us who have a clue of what we're doing.
#30 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Want external drive to automatically mount when plugged in » 2025-11-29 15:10:23
I don't have a /etc/udev/rules.d/65-ext4.rules file. Do I just create it?
I'm assuming a reboot will be necessary?

So when I was running Devuan 5 all of my devices (usb stick + external hard drive) would mount automatically when I plugged them in. Now with version 6 my external hard drive does not (usb stick still does though). It does show up in Mate's side pane, and when I click on it there, it gets mounted. So this is not too big of a deal, but I would still like it to mount when plugged in. I did a search and found this on the itsfoss website >Link Here< "Method 2: Automount Using Udev Rules and autofs" but it seems that there should be an easier simpler way to do this. Is there? Or should I just try the info from itsfoss?

It worked for me when I update to Excalibur. Not sure why it's not working for you. Did you try any DVDs yet?

Hi greenjeans, I installed today your Devuan-Mate-Mini-6-20250901_1322.iso. Thanks for making this available. After a minor hiccup I got things running smoothly. (I was having an extended boot time, way beyond normal. After some poking around the answer was to add the word "noresume" on a line in fstab.)
Thanks again. 👍
#34 Freedom Hacks » Deleting pulseaudio/pipwire-pulse loop » 2025-11-21 19:31:54

So while running a live session of Excalibur I attemted to remove pulseaudio. But it would not let me do it without installing pipewire-pulse. So I allowed it, and then tried to remove pipewire-pulse, but it wouldn't let me do it without installing pulseaudio. So there must be a way to do it (i.e., have neither installed) because my current bare-metal install of Crowz/Devuan 5 has neither installed. How is it done?
#35 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Crowz 5.0.1 daedalus new release 2024.02.26 » 2025-11-21 13:59:47
Do you plan on releasing a version based on Excalibur?

I was, until I realized that straight Devuan has pulseaudio instead of alsa. I think I know the answer to this, but do you remove pulseaudio for alsa in Vuu-do?

Yeah it might take a re-boot, but you can try logging out and back in on a live session after removing just the gnome-keyring package.
That worked! Thanks. I'll probably do the install later next week when I have more free time. Again, thanks!

Thank you for your help so far greenjeans. So I just tried this again and I'm stumped. I've removed gnome-keyring, gnome-keyring-pkcs11, and libpam-gnome-keyring (while leaving alone Debian and Devuan keyrings), but I'm still getting the keyring not unlocked message when launching Chromium. Maybe it requires a reboot? But that wouldn't work on a live session, so I'll never know. Any ideas now? If not, I guess I'll just wait for a Vuu-do or Crowz release of version 6.
BTW, when I try to unlock the keyring neither the passwords "devuan" or "root" work, nor "live" either.

Okay, let me try this again . . . .

So I ran a live session again and tried to delete the keyrings. At some point I noticed there are 3, gnome, debian, and devuan. When I try to delete them all it breaks apt, and it can't be fixed. I'm not a computer guru so I don't understand why trying to delete the keyrings keeps breaking apt. I would like to install this version on bare metal but I'm concerned that if installed this same problem will appear. Any ideas or suggestions?

Ah, okay, I see. Thanks for your patience.
Are you planning to release a Vuu-do based on Excalibur?

It's not installed in the Vuu-do iso's
I'm confused. Then what caused the keyring not unlocked message?

Problem is the gnome-keyring package here, I solved it in Vuu-do by uninstalling it
So if this problem pops up in a fresh install, all I need to do is delete gnome-keyring package? (I don't store passwords anywhere except on a piece of paper.)

11-06-2025 New versions uploaded.
Hi greenjeans. Thanks for these builds. Today I downloaded the Devuan-Mate-Mini-6-20250901_1322.iso version and ran it in a live session. I added the Chromium browser to the live session and when I went to open it, I got a message that the keyring was not unlocked. I dismissed the message, and Chromium worked as it should. To see if I would get the keyring message again, I closed Chromium and then reopened it. I got the keyring message again, but again after dismissing it everything continued to work.
My question is, if I install your spin, will I continue to get this keyring message?

Okay, thanks. And thanks for the heads up on yt-dlp.
#47 Re: Off-topic » yt-dlp to depend on deno or another supported JavaScript runtime » 2025-10-25 12:42:44
I'm neither an expert nor clueless on things like this . . . but, I'm wondering, does adding something like deno or node to your system make it less secure? Also, I didn't see anywhere on the link above that it will be needed on the next release of yt-dlp.

I'm not crazy about FluxBB but it sure beats the crap out of discourse. Discourse doesn't work in the Pale Moon browser and they (Discourse) don't care two hoots about it.

I'm happy to see that someone involved with Peppermint is here on the Devuan forums. I wonder if you can tell me, will Peppermint ever release versions with other DEs in addition to Xfce? Specifically, Mate.
