...still rockin' a minimal install of Devuan with no zeitgeist-n-hophtereinstaeist installed.
...I'm not sure what all of this is about, but then again...I don't care. HAHAHAHA!!!
I'll exit the conversation now. Sorry for the intrusion...but I'm happy.

Slim takes up very little space, so you could have both Slim and LightDM on your system (if that is okay with you).
Like Camtaf said, intall lightdm first. After it's installed, you should get a window that pops up asking which display manager you want to use. Use your arrow keys to move up/down to highlight lightdm, use your space bar to mark it as your choice, then use your Tab key to highlight Okay (or whatever the word may be) and hit Enter...or just hit Enter on your keyboard after highlighting lightdm.
EDIT: If memory serves me correctly, you may have to reboot for it to take effect.
DOUBLE EDIT: Head_on_a_Stick responded while I was typing...
Good to know, thanks.
Sure!
You're welcome!
For multiple file types, use something like this (edit/remove/add file types if needed)...
for f in *.{mp3,m4a,aac,ogg,flac,wav} ; do ffplay -nodisp -autoexit "$f" ; done
It will play all of the music file types in the order that they are listed in the command. If it doesn't find a file type, it moves on to the next type until it does find one.
Also, for a parent folder that contains sub-folders of music (again, edit/remove/add file types if needed). Open your terminal in the parent folder, and enter...
for f in */*.{mp3,m4a,aac,ogg,flac,wav} ; do ffplay -nodisp -autoexit "$f" ; done
That will play through each of the sub-folders one at a time and also use the same as above...playing each file type as they are listed in the command.
I add the -nodisp flag, because I don't care for the visualization window that pops up.
EDIT: I have aliases in my .bashrc file for both of those commands...
Here's a couple of more radio stations for your terminal enjoyment...

I'm not sure how I missed this thread. I've used YAD for various GUIs on MiyoLinux since I started it. I recently uploaded a lot of the scripts to the MiyoLinux Sourceforge page if anyone is interested. Some of them are very basic, and some of them are more involved. They all are licensed as Public Domain, so feel free to do with them what you want.
Here is a list of what I posted there...
Extra Software (a GUI to easily install some commonly used applications)
Live Keyboard Layout (a GUI to easily change keyboard layouts)
my-crappy-media-player-v2 (a crappy media player that uses ffplay)
my-crappy-music-player (a crappy music player that uses ffplay)
miyo-welcome (one version of the MiyoLinux Welcome Screen)
miyo-control-center (well, it's a basic Control Center)
miyo-touchpad (a GUI to temporarily turn certain touchpad controls on/off)
miyo-picom (temporarily turn picom on/off)
miyo-exit (an exit menu)
miyo-conky (temporarily turn conky on/off)
miyo-calendar (an edited version on the YAD Calendar that I use on MiyoLinux)

Unfortunately Openbox is GTK2 based and GTK2 went EOL some time ago but some people like obsolete software, apparently.
I'm not trying to stir up anything here, but I seem to recall a certain person...whom I won't name...but I might be quoting the unnamed person in this post...also had/has their own Openbox respin? I know, because I tried it.
So, it would appear that some people apparently do like obsolete software and providing it for others to use.
Tee-hee...
Still have to decide what to use, the strongest/more suitable option I see being Openbox if and when I upgrade to Chimaera.
I think it should be the default Devuan desktop from Chimaera onwards.
ie: with a desktop as similar as possible to what Philip Newborough's CrunchBang project was.
I never had the pleasure of using #!
My introduction to Openbox was through Semplice Linux in 2015.
Yet, with what little I know of #! from just some web-perusing, it would appear to me that both the Star and Crowz derivatives of Devuan are similar to what #! was???
EDITED to include web links of both Star and Crowz
Some of my favorite radio stations to listen to...
If you have ffmpeg installed, open your terminal, and enter...
For Orlando's Classic Rock station...

* Shortcut video editor - Works with ALSA
I'm not trying to be a smart-aleck, but did you mean Shotcut instead of Shortcut?
Shotcut is what I use.
This is something that I take for granted...as I'm sure many others do.
If someone will tell me to tell me how to keep up with the renewal date(s), I will gladly accept that responsibility in order to help the project.
I may be the creator of a Devuan respin, but I'm not ashamed to admit my lack of knowledge in certain areas. I'm always happy to learn something new.
Lay it on me baby!
Contact me here or by email.
I would suggest using the 2nd alternative (using Ralphe's suggestion) using wget....but that's just me.
...to each, his own.
At 2022-09-04, the devuan repository key BB23C00C61FC752C updated at 2017 expired, which has led to difficulties for many users. The key has been corrected in the repository by expanding the validity period, and a new version of devuan-keyring, version 2022.09.04, is available..
Thanks Ralph!
...oh...wait. You're "Down Under", so let me fix that...
¡ɥdlɐɹ sʞuɐɥʇ
LOLOLOLOLOL!
Seriously though...I thank you, and it's much appreciated! Take care!
Without more information, my guess (based on my own experience) is that...
apt install lightdm
...was used (if installed via a terminal).
If so, my guess (also based on my own experience) is that the package desktop-base was also pulled in with that command, which will change the grub theme.
If you ever try again, use the command...
apt install lightdm --no-install-recommends
...in order to avoid pulling in desktop-base.
If interested, you can "install" the 32 bit version directly from Mozilla...it will update itself separately from the Devuan repositories...
These are notes from MiyoLinux; adjust them to your needs.
Preliminaries...
Make sure you have the REQUIRED libraries installed...
glibc 2.17 or higher
GTK+ 3.14 or higher
libstdc++ 4.8.1 or higher
X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)
All four of the above are already installed in MiyoLinux.
_____________________________________________________________
For sound in Firefox...
b) If you are using only alsa for sound, you will need to install apulse to have sound in Firefox. It is already installed in the latest versions of MiyoLinux.
b) If you are using pulseaudio, sound should work automatically.
_____________________________________________________________
Download and install Firefox...
1. Open a terminal, and cd into the folder where your download will be saved. For example...
cd Downloads
2. Download Firefox (or Firefox-ESR) 64 or 32 bit version.
NOTE: To download the 32 bit version, change os=linux64 to os=linux in the command(s) below.
NOTE: If you need Firefox with a language other than English-US, find your language in the list at the bottom of this file, then substitute lang=en-US with your desired language in the command(s) below.
To download Firefox, enter the following command...
wget "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-US" -O firefox.tar.bz2
To download Firefox-ESR, enter the following command...
wget "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-esr-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-US" -O firefox-esr.tar.bz2
3. Extract the file...
tar xjf firefox*.tar.bz2
4. Move the extracted firefox folder to /opt...
sudo mv firefox /opt/
5. Create a symlink to the Firefox executable...
sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
6. Create a Desktop File...
First, enter the following in the terminal to become root...
su
After becoming root, enter the following command...
cd /usr/local/share/applications
If that directory doesn't exist, create it...
mkdir /usr/local/share/applications
...then use the cd command again.
Now enter the following command to create a desktop file...
nano firefox.desktop
If you are using alsa for sound, enter the following...
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Firefox
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
GenericName=Web Browser
Keywords=Internet;WWW;Browser;Web;Explorer
Exec=apulse firefox %u
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=firefox
Categories=Network;
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp;x-scheme-handler/chrome;video/webm;application/x-xpinstall;
StartupNotify=true
If you are using pulseaudio for sound, remove apulse from...
Exec=apulse firefox %u
so that it looks like this...
Exec=firefox %u
Save the file and close nano with the following 3 actions...
Ctrl + x
y
Enter
Firefox should now be installed and available in your menu.

You're correct. My mistake.
I got it confused with FreeBSD. Sorry. I'll edit my original post.
Thanks Ogis.
sudo apt install android-file-transfer
...for a GUI...
sudo apt install android-file-transfer-qt5

You may want to consider installing the package apt-listbugs.
If you do, when you run an apt update, apt will show if there are bugs in the package(s) that will be upgraded. If none are shown, then do an upgrade. If bugs are shown, look at the information provided by apt. It may list a "severe" bug, but it may not affect you. Such as, a "severe" bug with a font that you realize won't affect you. In which case, you can go ahead with the upgrade.
If there is a bug that may harm your system, you can cancel the upgrade and upgrade individual packages that aren't affected by the bug...or wait a few days to upgrade and see if the bug has been fixed with another apt update.
Just look at what apt tells you and act accordingly.
May the apt be with you!
imo, the best guitar instrumental album this side of the moon!
Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien. ( my favorite song is Circles at 22.11 min mark )
Indeed!
That entire album is fantastic!
Are you familiar with cron jobs? That's one way to do it.
If I want to completely remove something, I use this command...
apt remove --purge package*
My understanding is...
remove - removes the actual package.
--purge - removes the package's configuration files.
I could be wrong, but it looks like you're possibly only removing slim's configuration files, but slim is staying on your system?
I just looked that error up online, and it seems that people experiencing this are using Wayland instead of X11...or...they aren't using a display manager.
