Does anybody know what my Brother scanner has to do with udev?

and search for udev...

I would try with a different kernel on your Beowulf install. Even with a strimlined custom kernel.

Sorry for complaining about Debian problems
Nothing to worry about, IMO. Sometimes it is dificult to trace the real cause of an error. Software nowadays is complex, with a lot of layers. When we try to debug some error we have to deal with phisycal glitches, upstream coders, Debian packagers and Devuan packagers, at least. Not an easy mix

It would be a very good feature, IMHO. Newbies and experts alike will benefit.

#181 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » CUPS Network Printer @Rock64 not found » 2020-06-13 14:51:50
The printer however is not shown in Devuan in CUPS at his location @Rock64.
We should discard the obvious reason: I think that your @Rock64 printed is a shared one, right?

#182 Re: DIY » KDE 5.18.5 packages available for Devuan » 2020-06-07 18:06:10
these 5.18.5 packages would bring many new features. For example, I am a heavy user of the KDE Okular PDF reader. In the new packages from Norbert's repos, Okular has some new features like writing text onto PDFs.
Thank you for your info. The new features sound very interesting to me. Specially the Okular ones. I'm too a heavy user of it

Be positive: the OP wants to help.
Ageed. My bad. Sorry.
Sometimes I dont find the right wording. In these cases, I should not talk.
Expert pure text install is a blessing for me. It (almost) always works.
I dont expect that everything works out of the box. IMHO is not a problem picking a WiFi spot.
Anyway: I'm sorry.
#184 Re: DIY » KDE 5.18.5 packages available for Devuan » 2020-06-07 10:38:41
I've verified they will install on Devuan Beowulf
Good to know. Thank you. Do you highlight any improvement over Beowulf KDE?
#185 Re: Forum Feedback » Why Fie? » 2020-06-07 10:30:25
seriously cheesed-off.
There are zillions of free OSs. It is all about freedom. Pick the one best fit to you, no problem. But we prefer constructive criticism here.

May be some firmware missing? lspci information could be relevant.
#187 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf 3.0.0 is here! » 2020-06-04 19:16:14
and make for instance a sdcard or hdd with the packages you need besides the iso
It seems a very good idea. When I install a box with Devuan, I keep the downloaded packages on a USB stick. When I install the next box, I copy all the downloaded packages to /var/cache/apt/archives/.
Or make your own local copy of the entire archive.
Indeed. apt-cacher is great when you admin a network of Devuan boxes.
#188 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf 3.0.0 is here! » 2020-06-04 19:09:27
added some parameters to make it a bit speedier for usb
Could you give us any hint (may be in another topic)?. It sound interesting to me. Thanks.
#189 Re: Off-topic » What other distro are you using (besides devuan)? » 2020-06-04 10:57:56
Old boxes still with ancient Debian versions. Rock solid, by the way.
Raspberry with Raspbian. Not happy, of course.
#190 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf 3.0.0 is here! » 2020-06-04 10:54:15
Congratulations. Excelent work. Thanks to the team.
#191 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Beowulf: user login software synaptic and pulseaudio using tor-browser » 2020-06-02 18:23:34
One step at a time ;-))
Agreed!
#192 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Beowulf: user login software synaptic and pulseaudio using tor-browser » 2020-06-02 11:03:57
But volumicon needs to be started from a terminal with "volumeicon".
Depending on what DE/WM you use, you can also launch it from start programs of your environment. Quite useful when you are already confident that it works for you.
#193 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf Beta is here! » 2020-05-31 20:58:00
Lets hope it was just me.
You and me: two people
Seriuosly. I'm using Beowulf on a series of boxes and it perform very well in all of them.
Expert install is always my choice and then I use a bunch of bash installers to get to my desired status.
#194 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf Beta is here! » 2020-05-31 17:19:07
But I did first try the Expert Install. It went well until partitioning. I could only choose between fat, fat32 and ext2
I've been there. It was my fault because I skipped the step of the install secuence. May be your problem too?
#195 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » (Solved) No sound out of headphones » 2020-05-25 06:48:01
no sound to headphones
I dont know about pavucontrol because I dont use pulseaudio, but I could try to use alsamixer to see the level of headphones.
#196 Re: DIY » Lowest memory footprint obtained. » 2020-05-15 19:14:31
lowest memory footprint/usage any of you has been able to obtain with a WM and what was your wm/basic setup.
IMHO it depends on what you consider "basic". I've experience installing general use computers in high school computer labs. We need browsing and office programs at a minimum. My Debian and Devuan installs with KDE take about 4GB of disc and run with just 1 GB. Latest Devuan 3 system require more RAM to be responsive, may be about 2 GB, but this figure is still untested personally.
Hope it helps.
#197 Re: Installation » Beowulf: Link sbin » 2020-05-14 16:45:17
My current preferred method to revert to the old behavior is to add
ALWAYS_SET_PATH yesto /etc/default/su.
There are a few methods. Years ago I decided to change almost all the configuration files of Bash of my systems. Now, with Devuan my modifications work well.

No, in Beowulf no.
I'm working with Beowulf beta3 for a couple of days. Coping .Xauthority to the root home works for me. I can start X Window programs as root: bare user -> su - -> program. YMMV. Mine is lightdm, webkit2 greeter and KDE without much further tinkering.

I think you mean 8MB, LOL.
My first Linux kernel compilation was on a 486 with 4 MB of RAM. But it succeded and I was amazed.
#200 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf Beta is here! » 2020-05-11 14:17:51
For beowulf beta3, now available, ...
I did an offline install with the beta3 netinstall iso
Thank you both. Downloading beta3...
It works, minimal install gave me a working system, with network and apt fully operative. Fixed.
