#1 Re: Other Issues » Can't find libfuse2 on devuan/feria » Yesterday 10:13:19
My first reaction was: that lib is outdated.
Then I had a look at my Excalibur. There I got listed libfuse2/now 2.9.9-6+b1 amd64 which is installed locally, and libfuse2t64/stable 2.9.9-9 amd64 which isn't installed. Haven't digged any deeper. Don't know why/how libfuse2 was installed, can't remember any special operation.
libfuse2 is from bookworm, libfuse2t64 is from Trixie, there is nothing in Forky/Freia.
You could try libfuse2t64. But I think you need to download it from Trixie/Excalibur and then install it locally. Same is vald for libfuse2 from Bootkworm/Daedalus.
Update: some search revealed that libfuse2 was installed because of Veracrypt.
#2 Re: Installation » deb-cdrom line from /etc/apt/sources.list is not deleted after install » 2026-04-06 14:21:32
Strange, in this case the line should have been commented out.
Maybe I give it a try in a VM, you used 6.1.0?
#3 Re: Installation » deb-cdrom line from /etc/apt/sources.list is not deleted after install » 2026-04-06 13:16:06
Looks like you had network, but you must have denied using a mirror.
BTW: Debian and Devuan installers are similar but not identical. I am always doing an offline install w/o network and mirror, setting that up is the first step after a sucessful reboot for me.
#4 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] gparted will not start » 2026-04-05 13:01:27
When starting gparted from the menu you should be asked for root credentials. Does that happen? This "cannot open display" indicates at some permission issues. Have you changed the policy kit?
#5 Re: Installation » deb-cdrom line from /etc/apt/sources.list is not deleted after install » 2026-04-05 08:46:14
This line remains listed in the sources.list when there is no network connection during installation, or if you do deny the question for a sever mirror connection. The installer assumes an offline installation and leaves the cdrom line.
#6 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » (devuan 6) caja no longer opening - apps unresponsive » 2026-03-30 16:57:19
I think the router is an external device, the interface to the internet. I do not see any relation to your PC and the software its running.
Bit rot, disk error, hw fault. I would check the smart values of the disks first of all.

Segmentation faultThis is the problem. Reason?
#8 Re: Freedom Hacks » How will life be without gvfs? » 2026-03-24 19:01:10
On my Excalibur with Cinnamon DE, I will keep gvfs as neccessary toolkit for the connection of my PC with my smartphone.
#9 Re: Installation » Forgot login/sudo password » 2026-03-19 15:30:09
I didn't even know that Firefox could save passwords.
Every sort of main stream browser does that if configured to do so, but only for web pages.
I have some passwords saved in FF, but the relevant ones are not stored in FF but in a password manager I do use for many years now.

I don't trust any AI, I try to use my Brain 1.0.
#11 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Removing/purging Network Manager » 2026-03-09 18:54:10
You either define everything in /etc/network/interfaces or you exclusively use NM for both. As you have seen a mix won't work.
#12 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Display problems with 6.1.1 live » 2026-03-01 19:46:52
This is common behavior on Debian live for years.
You know this is a Devuan forum? Why do you pick here on the Debian live behaviour? If its a bug file it against the Debian bug tracker.
#13 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Two HDDs: Which is sda1? » 2026-03-01 17:54:32
Naming pattern is:
First detected drive = sda, second detected drive = sdb, ... Attention: the detection order is subject to change from boot to boot.
First partition on first disk = sda1, second partition on first disk sda2, ...
I would first look into the bios what that says, then start a gparted live medium and check that, then only use manual partitioning (requires some understanding).
For a newbie: read very carefuly the displays you are getting to relate physical disk with display by software.
#14 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Inability to install printer » 2026-02-22 08:56:18
when I accept the license in the license description box, ideographic characters from another alphabet appear (Chinese, Korean, or Japanese, I'm not sure) and the option to download the drivers disappears.
I think its simply Firefox fooling you. Use Chromium or the wget-command steve_v posted.
#16 Re: Other Issues » Does Mate 1.28 use X11 or Wayland by default? » 2026-02-20 13:38:30
Look on your login screen (assuming you use lightdm). It tells you e.g. "default Xsession" meaning its running on X11.
#17 Re: Other Issues » Does Mate 1.28 use X11 or Wayland by default? » 2026-02-20 13:15:13
Your question does not make any sense the way its phrased.
Its not Debian/Devuan using X11 or Wayland, it depends on the DE you are using. I.e. Gnome in Testing is Wayland only meanwhile. Cinnamon can work on both. .....
#18 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Inability to install printer » 2026-02-19 23:27:14
1) I download the printer and scanner drivers from the official Epson website. I verify the architecture (64-bit), and the only ones available for download are those labeled DEB X 64 (ARM).
If you really mean ARM as architecture then that is wrong, cannot work. You need an AMD64 deb package.
3) I go to the localhost 631 website and register as a user.
I am used to administer my printer as root.
#19 Re: Packaging for Devuan » (HowTo) install Mkusb for Devuan 6 (or Debian) » 2026-02-17 17:17:39
Yes, you can use cp to write an ISO image to a USB device.
From an old HowTo and still valid:
# cp debian.iso /dev/sdX
# syncI prefer to use dd instead with the option status=progress to get an idea how long it still may take.
#20 Re: Devuan » Devuan 6.0 has no 32-bit edition? » 2026-02-15 16:41:09
Yes. Debian has dropped 32bit kernels with Trixie.
There are discussions on the forum about this.
#21 Re: Freedom Hacks » About installers » 2026-02-11 16:56:59
Isn't Calamares used on Devuan Live media? Or am I wrong here?
When I tried a Live once in a VM I figured that I couldn't install encrypted. A NoGo for me.
Edith: yes I was wrong. Calamares is used on Debian Live.
#22 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Using apt to find the package I want... » 2026-02-11 16:49:29
First comment: what you are getting back strongly depends on what you have specified in the sources.list.
Second comment: like you when I run "apt search firefox" I am getting an endless list of packages. Adding a grep might help.
I personally prefer to use "apt list" and sometimes "apt policy" to search for specific packages.
"apt list firefox" returns no output. When you add a * so that you use "apt list firefox*" you will get a longer list of firefox-esr related packages.
And firefox-esr is what is available on Debian/Devuan. If you want the latest firefox, you may need to go to the Mozilla web page.
#23 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Devuan 6.1.0 desktop installer has no options for modern filesystems » 2026-02-10 16:00:11
Known problem (got trapped myself and saw posts from others with the same issue). Sounds like you have used the expert mode and skipped the topic "load extra modules". You need to go through this topic to get the full selection of file systems.

Yes, there are procedures how to do that. Please search the internet.
