Looks kind of involved... but if it works it's better than watching that error for as long as the install lasts. smile

Is this problem specific to Devuan? Or is it found in Debian also? Could this problem be referred up the chain to Debian package management? It looks like something in the proprietary drivers installation needs to be revised.

Yes, it is this problem specific to Devuan. I tried to install the nvidia driver on a Debian 11 system. No error messages.

It isn't recommended to mix APT python packages with pip

Or you can install youtube-dl much simple (without pip and sudo) for you user only. Just

curl -L https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -o ~/.local/bin/youtube-dl

and

chmod +x ~/.local/bin/youtube-dl

Thank you. Yes. I have been listening to metal for a long time. I am an old metalhead  smile

#83 Re: Off-topic » Music » 2021-12-19 13:12:42

Yes, andyprough. I like bands from early black metal years. You can also listen Isengard. It is rooted on Norwegian black/Viking metal and experimental rock on some tracks, and named after the large fortress Isengard in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings book series.

Right now I’m listening to a great band - Bell Witch, music. Sad, depressing and deep music.

Hello. Same problem here. You can try disabling hardware acceleration. That's what I did. Now Libreoffice is starting faster.

Okay, so I installed it and so far things are well. Actually, they're better. Any idea what is the difference?

I think the problem is that you have a new hardware. Ceres ships with new packages and newer kernel. But keep in mind, however, that Chimera is a testing ground. Also,  don't prefer testing if security is a concern.

Hello! Here I am again.  Here is my desktop from 2008 smile As you can see, the information about the system shows small program, pfetch.  It is a simple system information tool written in POSIX sh using features built into the language itself. I also want to brag that this app didn’t show the Devuan logo in the past, but I reported this bug to an amazing person, the developer of this app, dylan (a.k.a. dylanaraps) who was happy to fix this frustrating bug

The Acer has one other odd problem. While booting it will stop for a loooong time. It seems like a full minute. The message is:
ifup: waiting for lock on /run/network/ifstate.eth0
It finally realizes the interface is already configured and continues. But why does it take so long to realize that?

It is fixed in Devuan 4.

Do you distinguish between two things, sir?  A production system and develop and learn new things?

#95 Re: Off-topic » Show your desktop (rebooted) » 2021-10-28 16:36:12

Thus. I transfer my last computer to the Earth of Devuan. I totally refused to use Debian 11 after I get fed up with Systemd and this message

systemd-shutdown[1]: Waiting for process: systemd-udevd"

before shutting down/rebooting.

The Devuan system is now stable and predictable.

Check this https://linuxconfig.org/install-package … bian-linux

But be aware. It is not supported scenario. You can break your operating system. Before doing so, think carefully about whether it’s worth it.

This problem fixed in Devuan Chimaera 4.0 smile
