Do also set on hold: linux-headers-amd64 linux-image-amd64

welcome to Devuan.

I am nowadays on the default: sysvinit. I have tried openrc too, but I did not see any advantages. My current PC system is about 5 years old, so fast enough.

As an original Gnome2 user 10-15 years ago, I have initially used Mate for a while, but have switched to Cinnamon now. I never could make friends with Gnome3 and later, also neither XFCE nor KDE is one of my favorites. I have tried xlibre with Excalibur in a VM, looks good there, but daily driver still is X11.

ext4 is a rockstable file system most people use. btrfs is the same as in Debian. I my eyes only recommended for the very experienced user. Has a small user base.

Anyhow: Devuan is Debian w/o systemd. There have been some threads lately going a bit more into detail. If you are interested, use the forum search.

Have a look:

I have some notes (unfortunately in German) what I did on modifications on my PC.

My first reaction was: that lib is outdated.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.

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.

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.

Segmentation fault

This is the problem. Reason?

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.

You either define everything in /etc/network/interfaces or you exclusively use NM for both. As you have seen a mix won't work.

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.

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. .....
