Hi, I wonder if when you are at the non-login point, what happens if you "ctrl-alt-F(1 to 7)? Do you get a login prompt?

#577 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] How to change system to boot to text login instead of gui » 2021-05-03 22:10:21

Hi, use the run level... 1 to 6 inplace of "text"

GlennW

I'm using UFW/GUFW, but it was a bit of a bitch to get working on start.

Somehow the program and install directory permissions were owned by the user (me), and

the program need root to start.

I eventually fixed it, i think... while looking into the "su -" and path changes.

I'm always thankful for the suggestions on firewall apps, for researching next ...

Trust is a fragile thing and not easy to repair. 

If you hang around here for a while maybe you will understand why Devuan is so special . . . or maybe not.  It's about more than code . . .

I'm with you on this, it's more than about code.

Personally, I find this is a helpful and friendly community, I have grown to respect the posters here.

You still get all kinds of users, and I appreciate them all.

Even if it's just for the community, I'll be hanging around.

I guess the best that will come from Debian coming around will be the packaging and dependencies may be smoother to transition to Devuan.

Devuan artwork is better too, less corporate looking, imho.

I'm grateful, thank you.

ComputerBob, speaking for myself, your most welcome. And I love this Devuan community for the same reasons.

I have never received a harsh reaction (haven't been hacked once) after an out-of-place comment, unlike some other distros I've used.

My appologies, I posted a reply, but I was wrong, so I deleted it... just rubish.

I had intended to creat the file /etc/default/su with the content ALWAYS_SET_PATH yes, but all I did was paste in the file address instead of the command. :'-(

Sorry for the bumb steer.

Right?

ahh, no. I thought I was the only one! Funny, not funny.

I have nothing to add, except the ufw program complains when trying to start that user ID is 1000 when 0 is expected. Which I think may be a similar problem to the above, so I'm following this thread. Thank you.

Whenever I get stuck like this I create the directories... and re-run the command.

use 

locate debian/slstatus/usr/local/bin/slstatus

work your way back from there...

create directory...

mkdir debian/slstatus/usr/local/bin/slstatus

See if that helps. Sometimes it's a permission to write by the program.

see how you go.

I know systemd does that by default, not sure about sysvinit.

That is probably a leftover from mandriva or mageia, systemd.

How can I test if it's being used or not, and , like frequency and size? Do you know?

I can't remember why I did that...

edit... it was probably part of setting up a proxied firewalled self server written by Ashton Mills, using Mandrake, but I got there a bit late and had to use Mandriva.

I get a little bit carried away, gradually...

Separate GPT partitions for 

bios grub (1Mb)

swap
/tmp

Then I have all the archive partitionss attached to /home/.../local/

And 2 other linux distro hdd's (both beowulf atm).

List, list so nothings missed.

I generally use it as root when installing softwares...

Does it depend on the baloo and kde5-plasma search settings in "system settings"/Search/file search?

actually, my settings search all except /usr and /var... and one backup partition in ~/local/free

updated versions here,

Thank you for the correction...

As far as I'm aware open-rc run levels are "default, off, recovery and sysinit."

I thought the commented lines in the above script were left there from the sys-v script the file was used for.

I still not completely sure how this works... sorry for butting in.

I didn't see those other posts this morning when I added my 2 cents worth.

But, I'm glad I found out some more about run levels and open-rc.
