I don't know if this was because of what I did to Ventoy/recopy, or if it would have worked before with just the command, and I just gave up after it froze too soon, but it finally worked. I'll continue with the installation and see if everything works. I'll report back if I reach another error or if it finishes with no more problems.

Edit: it then froze when clicked Network Config option. It seems like the freezing was a separate issue from the media detection issue (or maybe it's just that error = freeze at times or something like that)

Perhaps this thread can return to the wall program and how it behaves now versus in ancient times. (see eg post #3 above)

Made the first alpha porting VuuMan to gtk2/gtk2-ng today , tested in both, and is even faster in operation than the gtk3 version, and includes some functionality I excluded from the gtk3 version due to quirks in gtk3. Not quite as pretty but it works even better. This is just the main script, if you don't have the gtk3 version already installed you won't get the proper window-icon when you run it, you'll probably just get a generic or the generic yad icon (green beaker), but that doesn't hurt anything. Mainly wanting people to test that are using a gtk2 version of yad, I just have the gtk3 version and it runs fine with it, and should be the same with
a gtk2 version. (Running version 0.40.0 from Daedalus/Bookworm here).

Link to the binary: https://sourceforge.net/projects/vuu-do … uMan-gtk2/
Edit: Source for the script up now, adding the rest later: https://git.devuan.org/greenjeans/vuuman2
Depends:
libgtk2.0-0
yad
man-db

Thanks for any testing! After that i'll get the source posted up and make a package for it. Hope somebody can use it, it's the first one of my little utilities that i've ported to gtk2 and was a good candidate as it's so small, wasn't as bad as I thought,  going to do several including AlsaTune.

which wall
/usr/bin/wall

I am searching for themes containing /usr/bin/wall or "/usr/bin/wall"
Get a lot of answers but none seems to contain the expression. How come ?

search is flawed ?

I typically play stuff that's a bit more atmospheric. 

This is a midlife crisis hobby

# hwclock --set --date "2026-06-06 3:44"
# date --set "2026-06-06 3:44"

fake-hwclock is a service designed for boards that do not have a battery or a real hardware clock (such as the Raspberry Pi). What it does is save the time to a text file when the system is shut down and restore exactly that same time when it is switched on. Therefore, I guess that this is causing a conflict with the real clock and freezing the system in the past. I'll try to fix this issue..., maybe disabling fake-hwclock and moving hwclock.sh from the sysinit runlevel to the boot runlevel.

Right.

Thank you for taking the time to look that up.
Much obliged.

In the few hours I have been working with it, I have seen that [OpenOffice] starts up, open and saves the same spreadsheet noticeably faster, does not have any (obvious) UI bugs and is working as well as expected.

Just a couple of things to get used to because "muscle memory" (eg: [BackSpace] to delete content from a cell instead of [Delete] which generates a pop-up with options) but nothing important enough to consider going back to [LibreOffice].

On top of that, I do think it has more 'nice-looking' appeal.  8^P

Best,

So it was a Cinnamon problem - not a Devuan problem.

I added xfce-polkit to the iso image.

Thank you! This is now a perfect fit.

The lxde version also rocks out of the box. You have created the perfect dilemma for genuen users.
