Thank you.
I've created an installation video . I'll use that hint in future versions.
Installing Devuan Chimaera's netinstall iso in a qemu vm i see the initial installation menu and choosed Help.
There by pressing F keys i can see various help menus but i cant find a way to return to
the main menu.
Also i tried to hit Enter to install but i get:
No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!
Interestingly invocation section of man page of bash dont refer to profile.d .
So maybe it started as a distro practice that stuck and now it's used a a global config-set up space ?
I found an interesting discussion here.
It seems that profile.d is used in some distros that use some shells that parse that folder for application specifics setups.
In my devuan installation:
/etc/profile.d$ ls
bash_completion.sh flatpak.sh gawk.sh vte.csh gawk.csh vte-2.91.sh
But that wont work in a case like mine but only if libvirtd was reading some shell enviroment
variable to determine what net setup to enable when started.
So i guess profile.d is one way to setup an 'enviroment' for applications that would look to certain env variables.
If an app looks only to a config file profile.d it's not needed.
In my case i found first here about a command that fixes
a network error in virt-manager. Now as @xinomilo told me that can be set either with a terminal command or a gui setting that changes a relative setting.
I propably was unlucky finding only the first 'solution' that make me understand that a command fixes an error . But now it seems it's just an application
setting that propably sitting in a config file and there are two ways to change that 'file' and propably to edit it by a text editor.
And maybe virt-manager shouldnt either report it as an error! That small detail could have put me into a different fix mentality and not in the 'config' mentality.
To sum it up. It was a setting issue masqueraded as a pseudo 'correct functioning' issue.

Connection Options.
if you already connected virt-manager to local libvirtd : choose that (qemu:///system) connection and :
(menu) Edit -> Connection Details -> Virtual Networks tab -> choose network, and check "Autostart On Boot" on network Details.
I found it. Thanks!
Reading here https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/v … ofile.html
it seems that profile.d is for scripts that set up the shell enviroments.
So if i wanted to setup an application and it's initial set up i should do it from somewhere else.
But i've just read an askubuntu post where network config is attempted from a profile.d script.
.. (you can also change this from virt-manager/GUI).
From where ? From general options or a VM options ? I didnt find anything.
Head_on_a_Stick wrote:Was the script executable?
Sorry, that was a stupid question. Files in /etc/profile.d/ are sourced rather than executed. D'oh!
That explains why other scripts in profile.d werent executable.
Generaly i realized that profile.d is for preparing the system wide enviroment (of bash only or more generally ?)
So a more sound approach would be to start libvirtd and then make sure the default networking is enabled .
virsh is a libvirt client, so yes, libvirtd must be started in order for virsh to work..
although this https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=36441#p36441 makes your command unnecessary.. (you can also change this from virt-manager/GUI).
Yes i understand that. But i was curious to see if indeed a 'root' command can be executed in profile.d
So i could make the script wait and poll the processes and when libvirt is executed then to execute the command!
I made it executable but still nothing.
#!/bin/sh
export TESTPROFILEDOTD=1970
virsh net-start default &
The test var is changed but not the net default state.
I suspect that virt-manager and libvirtd process must have started first.
@Head_on_a_Stick Thanks! that worked.
I wonder why thought the script in /etc/profile.d/enableqemunetworking.sh didnt seem to work.
Are you familiar with cron jobs? That's one way to do it.
I know it's purpose, not familiar but i'll manage.
I tried that so far:
$ less /etc/profile.d/enableqemunetworking.sh
#!/bin/sh
virsh net-start default &
but didnt work..
@HeadonStick i try to enable qemu networking but the command only works with sudo.
I'm using Devuan GNU/Linux 5 with runit.
I want to run a 'sudo' command at login. I guess it needs to be
started as a root command without having to provide a password.
How could i do that?
Ok. so i'll keep xscreensaver for now .
$ aptitude why xscreensaver
i task-xfce-desktop Depends xfce4
i A xfce4 Depends xfce4-session (>= 4.16.0)
i A xfce4-session Recommends xscreensaver | light-locker | i3lockGoodmorning.
I cant find a similarly named package for the xfce4-screensaver utility :
$ sudo apt-cache search screensaver
boinc-screensaver - screen saver auto-controlling volunteer computing
cinnamon-screensaver - Cinnamon screen saver and locker
gnome-screensaver - Screensaver and screen lock formerly used in GNOME
mate-screensaver - MATE screen saver and locker
xscreensaver - Screensaver daemon and frontend for X11
...Thanks for the reply.
Distro: Devuan GNU/Linux 5 (daedalus) (runit) Desktop: Xfce 4.16.0
Trying to figure out some unpredictable behavior on a fresh installation related among else to screensaver (1)
i noticed that xsceensaver -systemd running . I wonder if that could create problems when systemd is not installed.
The Red Strings Club (wikipedia) has definitely hit a string in me..
Not in terms of gameplay (it has some boring minigames) but in the atmosphere it creates.
Alas it's 386 binary and also depends on an old lib :libcrypto.so.1.0.0 and libssl.so.1.0.0 that i found them in a old ubuntu repo archive.
I have a screenshoot in my toot in mastodon with a link to detailed instructions.
Has anyone else played it?
It seems there is an x-terminal-emulator.
As for the 'windows' key i'll need more time to search because my keyboard is a ergodox with custom mapping with no such key.

I have xfce as my main desktop and i wanted to try xmonad.
sudo apt-get install xmonad
I log out and in the login screen with F1 i choose as session xmonad.
But when i log in i see the same devuan default background with the text (xmonad session)
but nothing happens.
It's supposed to be able to launch a terminal with Alt + Shift + Enter.

As for firefox and Luakit is first time i see that warning.
I cant say about chrome because i use it occasionaly,

Having noticed that a binary .deb control file doenst contain tags and neither dpkg knows about them , and
seen that apt-cache do , and that (as it was pointed to me in the irc) /var/lib/apt/lists$ emacs deb.devuan.org_merged_dists_chimaera_main_binary-amd64_Packages has tags i wanted to dig a little deeper on how that tags get there.
Could someone explain with a broad and generic view how devuan uses and 'merges' debtags?
Γεια σας και απο μένα.
Glad to help.
Specifically i was looking at gcc and g++.

Ok, finally i managed to send the bugreport to debian by :
$ reportbug --bts debian
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … ug=1003831
But i think it would be more user friendly :-) reportbug to handle that , because now the sender must
crosscheck for if the package s(he) reports for is unforked and imported from debian
