I think so.
#2 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] No automount after update to Excalibur » 2025-09-07 17:08:11
... you did install usrmerge before updating ...
There will be some complaints within the upgrade process if that wasn't done.
#3 Re: Other Issues » amd64-microcode update for transient scheduler attacks » 2025-08-31 19:23:31
Is Devuan in process of putting this update into the Daedalus repos?
Definitely not. The Daedalus repo will only be updated if there is an update coming from the Debian repo.
Devuan is Debian w/o systemd, only parts that have relation to systemd are replaced or modified.
Anyhow, if I read the document correctly the main fix is an bios update.
#4 Re: Installation » [Solved] Beowulf - Nvidia legacy 340XX driver will not install. » 2025-08-31 14:07:51
kernel is 4.19.-27
Linux devuan 4.19.0-27-amd64
however there are no correspondent linux-headers available in the repo
I think that is not really true. From:
https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/poli … *&x=submit
linux-headers-4.19.0-27-common - 4.19.316-1
http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-security/main amd64
http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-security/main i386
http://deb.devuan.org/merged beowulf-security/main arm64They are available, but not in the main section, you have to enable security!
#5 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] excalibur: grub boot menue entry for archlinux disappeared. » 2025-08-28 08:34:00
Warning: os-prober will be executed to detect other bootable partitions. Its output will be used to detect bootable binaries on them and create new boot entries. Found Devuan GNU/Linux 5 (daedalus) on /dev/nvme0n1p2 Found Arch Linux (rolling) on /dev/nvme0n1p3 Adding boot menu entry for UEFI Firmware Settings ...
This shows that os-prober is executed and finds Arch. And what is normal for any uefi system, adds an entry to access the uefi bios.
You should see Arch in the grub menu as selectable option.
#6 Re: Installation » How to Install XLibre on Devuan Daedalus (MATE)? » 2025-08-26 18:14:00
Installed a Daedalus VM, encrypted with LVM, efi based, Lightdm and Cinnamon with German locale and Keyboard. Installation works, Lightdm is set to US keyboard, Cinnamon too. Adding a German keyboard works until reboot, then the system is back to US. Is that worth an issue? I think yes?
Edith: the screensaver login allows to switch the keyboard to German, the login doesn't.

From https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … rrupt-irq7
"Classically, the default usage of IRQ 7 is for the (essentially obsolete) parallel port (also known as IEEE 1284 or LPT)..."
Use the search machine of your least mistrust to find some more info.
#8 Re: Packaging for Devuan » [SOLVED] chimaera-backports in archive.devuan.org » 2025-08-24 09:57:19
Just pulled out my travelling laptop again.
apt update works fine w/o backports. Re-enabling the standard "deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged" backports throws a "Release file not found" error. Starngely enough it works with "deb http://archive.devuan.org/merged".
#9 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Devuan 6 excalibur, OpenRC, networking, /etc/hosts ingnored » 2025-08-13 16:37:46
I have seen something in a German portal that you can configure NM to leave the resolv.conf alone.
#10 Re: Installation » Can't even install yt-dlp in Devuan 6, many things are broken » 2025-08-13 16:35:47
You simply may need a new version for Debian 13 Trixie.
#11 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Devuan 6 excalibur, OpenRC, networking, /etc/hosts ingnored » 2025-08-13 08:38:01
NetworkManager shouldn't affect /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts or any of these files, except, unfortunately, the /etc/resolv.conf file.
Please read again, you see the discrepancy?
NetworkManager WILL affect the /etc/resolv.conf and take it out of the loop. Thats why I omit using NetworkManager on my workstation. On my small home network I am using static addressing.

I am using a Kyocera P6230 LAN printer with a PPD supplied by Kyocera. Before that I owned a FS-5100DN.

non-free is missing.
#14 Re: Packaging for Devuan » [SOLVED] chimaera-backports in archive.devuan.org » 2025-07-28 13:05:33
Just updated my laptop which is still running Chimaera for a reason, and I saw that no release file is present for backports anymore.
Why is Chimaera backports removed? Why is Chimaera different from e.g. Beowulf where backports still is present in the archive?
#15 Re: Packaging for Devuan » [SOLVED] chimaera-backports in archive.devuan.org » 2025-07-28 12:33:41
Sorry, you seem to have a silly idea how Devuan works. Even if the Debian 11 Bullseye backports is archived in Debian, it does not mean it will be archived in Devuan Chimaera. Though stopping support for Bullseye backports in Debian means that there will be no new packages coming in from Debian any more for that release.
#16 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Canon LBP6020 » 2025-07-27 09:14:18
Kyocera also is a possible choice.
#17 Re: Other Issues » Sync of daedalus-backports <-> bookworm-backports? » 2025-07-25 07:20:50
what about chimaera-backports in archive.devuan.org?
Chimaera isn't yet archived.
#18 Re: Packaging for Devuan » [SOLVED] chimaera-backports in archive.devuan.org » 2025-07-25 07:20:03
Have a look at https://www.devuan.org/. Chimaera is oldstable, but not yet archived.
#19 Re: Installation » Fresh install vs dist-upgrade for next release » 2025-07-24 16:51:26
I do either one depending on the situation. If there is reason to resize partitioning, or significant changes in my setup like another init system, another desktop, I prefer fresh install. But I have also performed various dist-upgrades since I started to have Debian on my workstation starting with Squeeze.
#20 Re: Installation » Installation doesn't work » 2025-07-22 21:44:50
So I mount ISO and then use general path instead of pointing on every directory of it?
No. Do NOT mount the iso. I assume you have the iso as a file in your Download directory. You cp the file, or dd it to the USB.
You do:
# cd /home/$USER/Download
# cp iso.file.spec /dev/sdxBTW: you could also use the netinstall. The installers on the netinstall the CD and the DVD are exactly the same. The amount of SW coming with the media are different.
#21 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Calculator freezes » 2025-07-22 19:59:37
I am sorry, I thought I responded to such a topic earlier. Maybe I mistook that for the German Debian forum.
Anyway, here is a useful link: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … ug=1059773
#22 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Calculator freezes » 2025-07-22 18:35:33
Please use the forum search, known problem.
#23 Re: Installation » Installation doesn't work » 2025-07-22 10:30:42
-- Enter UEFI -- Configure for USB partition as boot priority --
This is a residue from the old legacy bioses. The procedure to place the USB stick as first boot option is no more required on UEFI bioses. There you go and use the boot override. You PC should have a key to call up the boot menu (on my ASUS MBs its F8, on many others its F12 ... read the manual), and there you select the stick with the uefi prefix.
Give it a try, maybe this is the culprit.
#24 Re: Installation » Daedalus 5.0.0 iso » 2025-07-21 10:39:55
Look at the Download link on the top of this page. 5.0.0 has been replaced by 5.0.1.
#25 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Daedalus unusable with multiple monitors - Fixed in Excalibur » 2025-07-14 11:13:32
I don't want Xwayland and don't know whether Chimaera used it as I had no need to check - it just worked. Is there an alternative, other than Wayland which doesn't work at all with a second monitor plugged in?
Don't be mistaken that you use Wayland on Daedalus. Your system is setup with X11 as your inxi shows. This XWayland stuff is just a compatibility layer.
