The question is . . . does Devuan include it in the Debian merge if not, using Debian repos directly could break things.  I cannot answer that question.  It is not listed on this page: https://devuan.org/os/packages

I'm using foreign repos. Usually I need very few packages and install dependencies from original repos. E.g. sparky-polkit is great. Got it from their repo.

Neither devuan nor debian has nomacs in their repos anymore. Pity. It's the best image viewer/redactor, imho. Had to install it from .deb

Seems to be available in the repos... testing and backports

Yes, added echo 'deb https://fasttrack.debian.net/debian/ bullseye-fasttrack main contrib non-free' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fasttrack.list

Ok, it means Devuan's one does not exist.

Probably runit is not good with Devuan.
Do you know where I can find an exhaustive list of repos? Does fasttrack exists?

runit is being used on Devuan.  Have a look at some of the threads on this forum.

I have hesitated to answer because I'm not quite sure what you mean by "exhaustive list of repos".  You can poke around any of the pkg mirrors to see what's available or search for a specific package at pkginfo.devuan.org or browse our git

In all my years here since 2014, I  have never heard "fasttrack" used (that I can remember).

Finally all these problems come from runit and some issues from TDE itself. Succesfully installed from netinstall with sysvint and TDE. Probably runit is not good with Devuan.

It seems now that problems come from runit. Not sure. I've reinstalled with netinstall, sysvinit and wpa_supplicant works. When runit is installed with "apt" all services start with runit. It's ok. But I've installed qemu/kvm, libvirt and Ko and got an error, something like "sysvinit not found". Runit?

Trying to install with sysvinit from very fresh netinstall iso. Looks much better. I have installed TDE. There are some new issues: virt-manaager complains about polkit, the DE is incapable to mount partition, can not open file with mpv in konkueror only in terminal. Probably I have to install some policy kit? Which one? I suppose DE should have one.

I'm using "sudo -i" quite a long time in spite of the fact that I do not understand the difference between sudo -s  sudo -i etc.

Not sudo -i, sudo -l (sudo --login).

Tried today this one: devuan_chimaera_4.0.beta-20210927_amd64_netinstall.iso Installation was ok. I have to provide 2 firmware from debian.org. Installed in one partition no encryption with runit for test. But I can not get internet access. The error is wlan0 deauthenticating from by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING).
After some search I got that proposed solutions do not work for me.

Hi devadmin

I always feel personally insulted and "victim-blamed" by this question, but now I find myself asking it: 

1) Can you confirm that the image you wrote to your flashdrive, passes the checksum test?

2) Can you perhaps try another flashdrive? Maybe you were just unlucky.

These checks usually have little cost (unless, for example, you have to buy another flashdrive) , and they *could* save quite a bit of pain.

I have the idea that the install beta isos have been getting refreshed early in the week for a few weeks now....so there might be a "20210927" edition soon?

It might also be useful to know more about the computer? Perhaps it just hates Chimaera.

A question for Devuan helpers: Is there a system "discovery" tool like inxi on the install or live media?

Good luck!

1) Yes the image is ok, flash drive - I do not know, but as installation was "half-successful" it should be ok too.
2) I gave up. Devuan is installed from live image.

Sure, it hates Devuan It still complains about some firmware.

Thanks.

I still have problems with zfs. It complains: invalid or corrupted cache file content.

I've no idea how people do that everything works? For example, I've tried literally dozens of "solutions" to get tap to click. Tap to click worked perfectly in default xfce, but  I wanted to try TDE. Finally it's solved. But I still do not have access to other partitions. I have no right. Trinity has no rights or permissions or I do not know what... no volume control, no "Fn+volume, Fn+backlight" etc ...
