I still have to do  

  gksu --sudo-mode bleachbit

  in the terminal then enter password in order to start bleachbit, instead of clicking the icon in Desktop and enter the password. 

Same with adding printer.  I have to dor 

gksu --sudo-mode system-config-printe

in the terminal instead of clicking the icon then enter password. 

Is this suppose to be normal?

Also, do any of these issues have to do with using pkgmaster.deuvan.org instead of deb.devuan.org in sources.list?   This issue is discussed in this thread -->  https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=12147#p12147

After I changed from pkgmaster to deb, several softwares such as wicd and ibus has been disappeared from my taskbar.  When I checked with 

aptitiude search

they were installed but I could not start.  What I did was purge them then reinstalled them. 

Also the "Printer Setting" icon from "Menu --> Settings" has disappeared.  Just like wicd and ibus, all the printer related software are in place, I had to reinstall system-config-printer. 

Any ideas why?

Thanks.

I changed pkgmaster to deb in the file sources.list and the error messages are gone. 

Although I don't understand how this works, this must have been the devuan-keyring problem as ralph.ronnquist mentioned. 

Also, I thought read somewhere in Devuan official site that deb.devuan.org or something else (auto.mirror?) was getting depreciated.  Can anyone tell me which one is getting depreciated so I would not use the one that is being taken down.

I am using Jessie (old stable) btw. 

Problem is solved, but anybody who is willing help with my ignorance would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks everyone.

Sorry for the late reply. 

You must have at least one unofficial repository in /etc/apt/sources.list, since most of these packages (libopencv-core2.4 libavfilter5 libopencv-imgproc2.4 libavdevice55) are not in Devuan's main, contrib, or non-free repositories. Two of the packages (libav-tools libtbb2) are in the Devuan repositories, but the unofficial repository you are using must have a more recent version, which is why apt is trying to install unofficial/untrusted versions of these packages as well.

If what you need is libav-tools, disable the unofficial repository and install the package from Devuan's repository. (I'd stay away from third-party repositories in general--in addition to the trust issue, it can cause dependency hell down the road.)

I don't understand this no matter how many times I read this.  You mean I have to have "at least one unofficial repository in /etc/apt/sources.list"  But you also said "If what you need is libav-tools, disable the unofficial repository and install the package from Devuan's repository." 

I really don't get it.  You said I need at list one unofficial repository.   I need libav-tools, but why disable unofficial repository and install the package from Devuan's repository when Devuan's repository don't seem to have those packages?

My sources.list look like below

# Devuan Jessie Main
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged jessie main
deb-src http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged jessie main

# jessie-security
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security main non-free
deb-src http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security main non-free

# jessie-updates
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-updates main non-free
deb-src http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-updates main non-free

# jessie contrib & non-free repository
# deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged jessie main contrib non-free
# deb-src http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged jessie main contrib non-free

Should I remove the hash tags from the last two lines?

Thanks in advance.

I think I still have policykit-1 problem.

I am using xfce and when I click on Menu > System > Printer Settings, the add button (add printer button) is inactive. 

I don't know how to add printer from terminal but I can look for it.  Meanwhile, please let the devuan team to know about this since I don't know how to report a bug. 

Thanks.

By the way,

Is there any way to know when this bug is fixed so that I can unhold these packages and upgrade?

Thanks.

fsmithred,

The problem is that the newer version of policykit-1 has not been devuanized yet.

$ apt-cache policy policykit-1
policykit-1:
  Installed: 0.105-9+devuan1
  Candidate: 0.105-15~deb8u3

You might be able to fix it by reverting to the older version.

dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/<filename>

If you don't have a copy of the package locally, you can download it from the repo and install it with 'dpkg -i <filename>'
amd64
http://packages.devuan.org/devuan/pool/ … _amd64.deb

i386
http://packages.devuan.org/devuan/pool/ … 1_i386.deb

Edit: I filed a bug report against policykit-1 in jessie.

I followed the above instruction but I still have the same problem.  What should I do?  Should I just wait for the bug fix?

Thanks.

Ok, thanks. 

I see my messages in the log. 

Good to know!

Hi,

I am trying to get some help through IRC.  I tried to access ircs://irc.freenode.net/#devuan channel using https://freenode.net/.

I entered
Nickname:   
Channels:   
Username:   
Password:   

I also registered my username and password as well.

However, in the chat room, I can only see what I type and I cannot see anybody else's typing.  What should I do?

Thanks in advance.

I am having similar problem on my PC. 

After yesterday's update,

1. I cannot adjust screen brightness with Power Manager Plugin.  However, I can adjust the brightness using xbacklight in terminal. 

2. I cannot mount external HDD and USB from GUI.  However, I can still mount / unmount in terminal.

3. I cannot start bleachbit and gparted from GUI.  However, if I start bleachbit and gparted from terminal, I can still run them. 

I followed the instructions on:
https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list

I updated sources.list as shown below:

# jessie main
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged jessie main
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged jessie main

# jessie-security
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security main non-free
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-security main non-free

# jessie-updates
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-updates main non-free
deb-src http://deb.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-updates main non-free

Then I ran:
$ sudo apt-get install devuan-keyring
$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

I still have the same problems.

Thanks in advance.

Edit:
I meant gparted, not gedit. 

Also in XFCE, when I try to shut down from GUI, the shutdown menu only shows logout.  The other options are grayed out.
