I agree with Fred, you need to go into your bios setup and switch off secure boot, enabling/allowing legacy boot.
This is not 100% correct. You can disable Secure Boot, but normally the PC/Laptop will remain in UEFI mode. In addition, very modern UEFI implementations have skipped the possibility to enable CSM = Legacy mode.
I guess the OP will need to install Devuan in EFI mode.

I would say booting from a running OS into another one normally is impossible.
Suggestion: look into how to use boot override on the Windows laptop. Start the stick with Devuan Life from there.

Check your GIMP settings if you have disabled something regarding the menu settings by chance.

Check FF options: if the "only https" option is selected that would explain the FF message.

As debian user i say no its not normal behaviour every version of gimp works there so its devuan bug.
I wouldn't blame it to Devuan. Gimp works fine and shows full menues on my Daedalus with Cinnamon DE.
@OP: which DE do you use?
Edith: by the way, except for banned packages that rely on or are systemd, the vast majority of Devuan packages are 1:1 Debian packages.

You can directly download VBox from this web page: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
For Chimaera use the Debian11 file, for Daedalus the Debian12 file. Copy this file to /tmp and install it as root with dpkg -i . You may also download the extension pack if you require e.g. improved USB support.
#486 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Connection to localhost:631 » 2023-09-08 17:58:32
@Andre4freedom: The automatic setup is called IPP. When I bought the printer and installed it, can't remember if it was under Beowulf or Chimaera, I got a bunch of entries in the cups administration, and none really worked. I was totally confused getting in contact to something I never saw before. So I switched off this IPP feature in the printer, deleted all the not working printers, and configured it the traditional way with a PPD file and an individual entry in cups. Kept this for Daedalus ...
#487 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Connection to localhost:631 » 2023-09-08 17:51:53
Well, problem solved.
Nemo claimed that cupsd.conf is a binary file, so initially I didn't bother to look at it. Got a hint from the German Debian forum to look at the "Listen" entries in the cupsd.conf. Tried to open it with geany in a root terminal, and found that the contents was plain text. Well, the "Listen" entries on my workstation were both identical pointing at /run/cups/cups.sock. Changed the first one to localhost:631, restarted the cups service, and voila, the problem is gone. Somehow the file was modified some time in Feb this year. There is a backup with the same timestamp which is one line longer due to a comment in line 1, the listen entries are also bad. Now I get:
# ss -ltnp sport 631
State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port Process
LISTEN 0 128 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* users:(("cupsd",pid=18184,fd=7))
LISTEN 0 128 [::1]:631 [::]:*Crosschecked with my laptop which is working: the cupsd.conf looks different and is significantly bigger. There are lots of comments in the file, not only directives for cups like on my workstation.
Interesting troubeshooting ...

Looks like no cups service is running, but why? Restarting the service has no effect on the problem.

Using http or https makes no difference. Emptied the cache, cookies, still doesn't work. A ping to 127.0.0.1 or localhost is working.
Crosschecked against my laptop: same FF-ESR version on board, connection to localhost:631 is possible, I get the cups menu.
Compared hosts and interfaces contents, the same for localhost. Difference between the two systems is that I let the network-manager handle all connections on the laptop while I use fixed IPs on my workstation.
Is it possible that I get interference from there? Tried to remove the network-manager on my workstation, but that also wants to remove Cinnamon.

I am running Daedalus with Cinnamon and Firefox ESR since about 10 months on my workstation. I did set up my Kyocera P6230 when configuring the system during this time, and I did use https://localhost:631 in FF to configure my printer. Now I tried again to see if I could find some settings again, and my up to date FF-ESR tells me no connection to https://localhost:631.
I have checked hosts, network settings and anything I could think about. Could find nothing wrong. No more connection to localhost re. setting up cups. Can't tell when I last used it.
What may have changed meanwhile?
#492 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Howto hibernate » 2023-09-07 20:33:10
The intention is not to switch power off the PC after putting it to sleep. Its just to enable some sort of power saving when I am off of my PC during the day. I switch off anyhow during the night.
Well, my experience during the past days is that mostly its working fine. Also the backports kernel 6.4 installed today seems to work.
Just had an issue once some days ago that I could not update web page in Firefox any more. A reboot was required to fix.
For me its solved.
#493 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Keyboard issue, theme installation » 2023-09-07 12:14:15
Show the printout of:

#494 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Keyboard issue, theme installation » 2023-09-07 11:56:34
Next time one problem per post please, makes answering and follow up much easier.
To the keyboard issue: I never cared for any keyboard model. Locale and keyboard layout are usually defined during setup, im my case Germany/German. Maybe you take a read into the Ubuntu wiki, or search the web a bit for the keywords "linux configure locale" and "linux configure keyboard".
What I haven't seen is a exact description of your problem, so a specific answer isn't possible.
My locale shows:
$ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=In /etc/default/keyboard I find:
$ cat /etc/default/keyboard
# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE
# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="de"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""
BACKSPACE="guess"That works for me.
Maybe you tell as a bit more about the problem? What is your locale? Which keyboard settings are used? What does not work?

#496 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] How To install a virtual machine inside devuan chimaera, later stable » 2023-09-03 16:37:04
Virtualbox and its packages do not depend on systemd, so the original Debian files are passed through to ../merged into Devuan (like so many others).
If you don't like this there are two other ways to install VBox.
My preferred method is to load the deb from the Virtualbox website, copy it to /tmp and to install this via dpkg -i.
The other way is described on the Virtualbox website: you add a line into the sources.list and do an install with apt/apt-get/aptitude.
#497 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Chimaera sound/music issues » 2023-08-30 18:00:10
This distro does run a RT kernel (I think)
# uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 5.14.21-150500.55.19-default #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Aug 8 22:15:01 UTC 2023 (9908c29) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
No, that not a RT kernel, that would look like this:
Linux localhost.localdomain 5.14.21-150500.55.19-default #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC RT Tue Aug 8 22:15:01 UTC 2023 (9908c29) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux#498 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] manually mount disks always have different mount points? » 2023-08-29 16:42:21
why every reboot sda, sdb, sdc, disks swapped?
Because they are not enumerated in any order, but a request is sent out by the kernel and then the first one answering is served first. And due to slight changes in timing the order is sort of by chance.
#499 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Howto hibernate » 2023-08-28 17:01:09
Thanks for the hints. So far I had disabled suspend and hibernate by a policy kit setting. That was removed.
I have now changed power saving options in the Cinnamon settings on two machines, no additional package installed. And its working fine afaict.
I set the screen to power off after 15min, and suspend to 30 min. I also enabled hibernate past suspend.
When I wait long enough, the computer goes down, the power LED of the case is blinking, and I can wake up again with a keystroke. More or less what I wanted to see.
#500 Re: Installation » [daedalus] bluetooth, printer, audio unavailable - kernel? » 2023-08-28 16:52:49
Daedalus is meant to be working fine with the 6.1 kernel. It was released with that. I have several installations working fine with it.
I guess you have 3 different topics to solve, and they aren't kernel related. You will need to install one or the other additional package. Debian/Devuan are a warehouse which you need to shop for the right software, and no one-fits-all suit like Mint.
I am no expert for bluetooth, don't ask me.
For Audio, I would suggest to search the forum for pipewire instructions. I have used them to get my laptop to play music with Audacious.
For printing, you need cups. The rest depends strongly on the printer itself, and if the manufacturer supplies a printer driver package or a ppd. You may need to tell us which brand and model you want to install.
