#1 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Devuan-Beowulf Resolution, 4k-monitor, 10-bit. » 2021-01-28 13:47:28

Thanks @jay00,

The problem is not only the resolution, I ask also about the resolution in order to get at least a reasonable resolution in the VM.
The biggest problem is that the DE not start at all on real machine and apparently is not of interest to communicate a step-by-step procedure to investigate and solve the issue.

Other OS like Cento (or Gento, I don't remember exactly) also not using 'systemd' have big graphical problems too. On most notebooks are not usable if the user is not cooder or geek.

Maybe Beowulf will start on my hardware if I install XFCE (standard) and add KDE later-on but this is the same as to install Ubuntu with encrypted ZFS-ROOT and install on the top KDE with the result of a kind of Kubuntu (but with all advertisement of Ubuntu on it) with ZFS-encrypted-ROOT. I don't want it!

The other biggest problem is GTK (now announced GTK-4). If someone want an homogeneous DE-UI than is CSD (client-side-decoration) worse and very similar to Windows, Qt use SSD (server-side-decoration). Of course, also under Qt are some apps with hard-cooded appearances.

Lastly I tested Manjaro-KDE that was perfect, all EDID information recognized by default and inserted/reported perfectly in 'xorg', 'xrandir' with the right dimensions, quantity of pixels, etc.. BTW easy installation, rock-solid and all additional software (e.g. motherboard, mouse, keyboard-lighting, printers, etc., etc.) is in the AUR and all in 64-bit. Long story short, all notebooks became this OS, the two big-ones became Arch-KDE.

Looks like MX is booted in VirtualBox (they include the guest additions in the stock system), was Devuan also in VirtualBox and if so did it also have the guest additions installed?

'Synaptic' report a 'virtualbox-guest-addition.iso' is installed, I remove it. To be able to copy/paste between host and guest I installed it in the virtual-os. In this way I have full resolution as expected, but... you say 'it's crap'.

Does it mean that if I install the OS on real hardware will start and run normally?

Now with Guest-addition.iso can I post /var/log/

That's a good explanation, thanks! First I would state to use KVM like in the trhead for getting 'spice' and I have some questions:

Following your linked thread by 'shared-folder' is this command qemu_mount /shared 9p rw,sync,dirsync,access=client,trans=virtio,x-systemd.automount 0 0 but I have 'openrc' installed on the client.

How to modify the /etc/fstab accordignly?

Upload the file to a pastebin and share the link:

I'm not interested in the MX log, that is of no use for this thread.

Thanks for commit the command and OK for MX I was not sure.

I just can't be arsed posting a "newbie explanation" for how to create an X.Org configuration file, that's all. I'm sure there are some out there if you search a bit, or maybe another forum member with more patience than me will take pity on you.

I search since months now with very poor results on knowledge, each distro has own scheme, can you recommend some link-s? the qemu-link is very good (only one open question from my side).

If I not get a working solution for Devuan I will aquantaine myself with Gentoo.

What makes you think I care which distribution you use? hmm

I'm sure, by the way... Gentoo latest stable has 'systemd' too. Who will take care now about 'openrc'?

Thanks again for your patience.

Yes Sir, I did.
Here the instruction I collect, this is .md (Markdown) syntax... that in case could be useful for other users.
The (kernel) version I got is the 5.7. automatically choosen from beowulf-backports as well firmware-amd-graphics in the version '20200721' like all debian-dased-distros like MX-Linux, etc.

# Devuan 'backports', 'kernel-' and 'firmware-upgrade' [Link 1:](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/545601/how-to-upgrade-the-debian-10-kernel-from-backports-without-recompiling-it-from-s) [Link 2:](https://www.taste-of-it.de/debian-buster-kernel-5-2-aus-backports-installieren/).

**Note-s:**
1. This guide is for people want to get primarily newer drivers for graphic-cards, wifi, etc.
2. The new kernel will be installed alongside the already present-one. In case of problems you can start the "old-one" at boot time.

### Step 1. Detect actual kernel
* For this use `terminal` opening with (CTRL + ALT + T), Code:
```
uname -r
```
### Step 2. Enable 'backports' Code:
* Methode 1.:
```
sudo su

nano /etc/apt/sources.list
```
* Text to insert (leave one empty line at end) Code:
```
# Beowulf-Backports
deb http://packmaster.devuan.org/merged beowulf-backports main contrib non-free
deb-src http://packmaster.devuan.org/merged beowulf-backports main contrib non-free

```
* Save and close file:
 - Save with (CTRL + O), hit (Enter) to confirm
 - Close with (CTRL + X)

* Check results with code:
```
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
```
* Methode 2.:
 - Open Dolphin
 - Navigate to `/etc/apt/`
 - Open `sources.list` with `kate`
 - Copy and paste the 2-3 lines and leave one empty line at end.
 - Save (CTRL + S), insert password and (ENTER).
 - Close with (CTRL + W).

### Step 3. Update and Upgrade
** Note:** You are still `root`!
* read the new sources, Code:
```
apt update

apt -t beowulf-backports upgrade

 > or

apt-get update

apt-get -t beowulf-backports upgrade

apt-get install -f
```
* install `firmware-amd-graphics` (if not yet done), Code:
```
apt install -t beowulf-backports firmware-amd-graphics
```
* install new kernel, Code:
```
apt install -t boewulf-backports linux-image-amd64
```
* search for installed `linux-image`, Code:
```
apt list --installed linux-image*
```
 - output example (note newest installed):
```
Listing... Done
linux-image-4.19.0-10-amd64/stable,now 4.19.132-1 [installed, automatic]

* search for correlated `linux-headers`
```

    Header files for Linux 5.7.0-0.bpo.2    
```
* install `linux-headers`, Code:
```
apt install -t beowulf-backports linux-headers-5.7.0-0.bpo.2-amd64
```
* install the firmware, Code:
```
sudo apt install -t beowulf-backports firmware-linux firmware-linux-nonfree
```
### Step 4. Assure everything is installed correctly, Code:
```
apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-get install -f && apt-get dist-upgrade && update-grub
```
* in case of error message..., Code:
```
dpkg --configure -a
```
 - alternatively, open `synaptic`-package-manager, click `Edit`, click `Fix Broken Packages`. Repeat the fix until no error-messages appear anymore.

* clean the system (optional), Code:
```
apt autoremove --purge
```
### Step 5. Reboot, Code:
```
reboot

 > or

shutdown -r now
```
* alternatively, use the GUI 
* switch-off command, Code:
```
shutdown -h now
```

The edid on real machine (Kubuntu) is perfect as well on VMs (without 'guest-iso-addition') using systemd, like MX-Linux-KDE and others.
By the way, I install also edid-decode and read-edid, but those apps read the edid-part of /var/log/Xorg.0.log. They don't read the edid from hardware.

I don't know which application read the hardware-edid and pass it to 'Xorg', 'xorg' same?
xrandr work ok, I can set there other resolution's but after a while of running the resolution fall back to 'xorg'-value.

Issuing the command sudo -i systemsettings5 (under all OS) and try to change resolution and scaling belong display-menu I get following out:

kscreen: Requesting missing EDID for outputs (71)

searching for '71' in file-manager I discover /lib/udev/rules.d/71-seat-rules, that's no good.

Reading many threads (for all Gentoo-threads, using and care-taking of 'openrc') about 'kscreen'-errors it appear to be a common error for OSs not using 'systemd' and maybe this is the reason, also for Gento, to issue latest stable without 'openrc'.

I look also for 'EDID' in the real installation (Kubuntu), the file-search don't bring any results but in a gentoo-thread I found where to be, this is /sys/class/drm/, in my case (using display-port-2) /sys/class/drm/card0-DP-2 but there only empty folders and files.

I install also beowulf with 'sysvinit', reading /var/log/Xorg.0.log no changes. This should be also the reason to get black screen with cursor like in a server under real conditions.

A 'step-by-step' instructions how to remedy or how to setup a proper 'xorg' is still missing on my side.

Consideration-s:
1. All OSs using 'systemd' blacklist: 'amd', 'intel' and 'nvidia' modules. How they get all EDID inside 'xorg' is a mistery for me.
2. Mouse, keyboards and thouch-phad are obsolete in 'xorg' (see xorg-wiki).
3. For a 30-40 years old 'xorg' that should be replaced (Wayland and/or + Systemd, maybe) are too few information about and each distribution make own things and place in different folders the config.files. That's not freedom, tha's confusion.

Fact-s:
1. EDID-informations are given by hardware correctly because other ditros recognize them also perfectly even in VM/VB without 'guest-iso'.
2. All firmware (linux and amd) and kernel are up to date from 'beowulf-backports' (see instructions).
3. No seldom hardware, all amd and samsung, see list above.
4. We cannot blame 'openrc', 'syvinit' bring exact the same results= missing resolution-information in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
5. Other distro's (e.g. MX-Linux-KDE) recognize available resolution and let modify/change it latest by installing 'kde-full' and use 'sddm' as choosen, devuan don't. This (Devuan) stick with slim at start, does that make a difference? Former installation where the choice was between lightdm and sddm present the same slick slim or lightdm screen.

- 64-GB RAM, 3.000 MHz
- Samsung 970 pro NVMe, 512-GB
- AMD Vega 64, 8-GB GPU-RAM
- Samsung 10-Bit deep display, native resolution 3.840x2.048
All the rest is also new, PSU, mouse, keyboard, case, even table and chair ;-)

History:
- Installed Beowulf  alone (I use only Linux since 10 years) and from scratch on NVMe. At first reboot I got only black screen with cursor.
- Start the machine with a live system, check 'repository', chroot, make all updates, restart... same as above.
- Chroot it again enable 'backports', install 'firmware-amd-graphics', 'dpkg', update, upgrade, restart... nothing changes.
- 'startx' or 'startkde' don't help either.
- I can use the 'black screen' as 'konsole/terminal' to make update and all other things possible on normal terminal but can't start the UI.

I want definitely leave Kubuntu, Neon is too unstable, Xfce is not for us (200% scaling + flickering to reduce to 150%), MX-Linux is Xfce with sysvinit additionally can be installed kde but scale remain to 200%.

Making experiments with different OSs in the VB see amdgpu-pro drivers all OS recognize the right resolution, Beowulf don't.

Reading file:///var/log/Xorg.0.log  of all machine (real & virtual) something going wrong and need help.

Could someone tell me what and in which order I have to install in order to get the full 3840x2160 resolution?

If you don't use 'virt-manager' what are you using? Do we make only a theoretical discussion or we tray to find a practical solution? Maybe detailed instructions `step-by-step` so we can help also other people besides of our-self.

Well just use the non-graphical installer then. I was under the impression that the beowulf ISO didn't provide a graphical installer anyway.

Of course, and that's problem (with 4k-monitor), while kubuntu-installer (graphic/live) can scaale the resolution ('systemsettings5') or Virtual-Box can scale up (for seeing better by installation) and down (to 100%) after the installation... on real install is only a kind  of colored terminal. This one ('colored terminal') I want scale up, anyway it not influence the installed system (for this remaine all mentioned 'problems').

Apparently not, no.

If so, that's bad, very bad.
Considerations:
1. Xfce is not my solution (as well gnome and Co.) due to 200% scaling (and scaling back with writing in numerouse config.files).
2. Gtk is even not a solution (getting error messages even in synaptic besides Xfce).
3. Nobody know how to setup a good 4k or want not tell or I put the wrong questions (maybe I start a new thread).
4. If I not get a working solution for Devuan I will aquantaine myself with Gentoo.

For Devuan the backports have a pin value of 100 by default and so will only be installed and upgraded from there if the --target option is used: https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/

I have tested in the VM, the addition of `backports` don't automatically update/upgrade all installed packages, but only the special picked. Buntu-Distros update/upgrade everything.

Kubuntu include the firmware blobs in the kernel (bunch of degenerates) and a beowulf VM will not "see" your video card unless you pass through the PCI address.

Check the lspci output in the VM, it will almost certainly show a virtual video card.

That's clear.

If you're using VirtualBox (which you shouldn't because it's shit) then you need the "guest additions" for proper graphics support. Ask the interweb about it (or switch to QEMU/KVM, which is faster and generally better all-round).

Well, I followed your recommendation. Installed Beowulf on KVM (`virt-manager`) with `backports` and `firmaware-amd-graphics`.
Max. chooseable resolution is 1920*1200. Does it mean, due the fact that in KVM hasn't 'guest.iso', that if I install `Beowulf`on my NVMe I will have a max of ca. 1k instead of 4k?

Installed former Devuan3.iso as main system and got black screen, can login, make apdates, install software but was not able to start GUI.

For a bare metal installation you will need the firmware-amd-graphics package, as I have mentioned several times now.

Baremetal yes, 4k (3840*2160) not at all. EDID is OK, firmware is OK, xrandr is ok, resolution not, the thread will never close this way.

Reading this https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xorg/Guide (start plasma5 with `openrc`) and due already tentative (in the past) to `startx` with the same commands:

startx

startkde

startx /usr/bin/startkde

startx -- vt7

it appear that (former) installation on real machine failed completely/was not able to start plasma5.

How can I increase the resolution during Installation? I cannot see anything!

Press c at the GRUB screen, use the vbeinfo command to list the supported resolutions then press escape and edit the installer GRUB menuentry to add the desired resolution to the end of the line that starts with linux; for example:

video=800x600@75

vbeinfo is deprecated, videoinfo is actual command, but by the ISO-start I can use a magnifier for that. Later on I can increase font-dpi for grub, etc. if I need.

I meant the installation-representation, under *buntus is called `ubiquity`. There is much more to read and write. Maybe I can switch shortly to terminal command and force `os-installer-resolution` to higher value and be able to read the installer-text.

How to create the `Xorg-configuration-file` properly and how to point the system to look at that during start?

Read man xorg.conf. The system will automatically read the file if it is placed in the correct location.

I don't think I have to use # Xorg :0 -configure as here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg explained because `xorg` already exist, what I need is:

1. Right placement of GPU-drivers
2. Resolution 3840*2160
3. 144*144 dpi
4. 10-bit color deepness

That's absolutely not clear for me, so far not clear that I cannot even start an attempt in the virtual OS. No newbie explanation here?

How to install 'kernel 5.4.0-42-generic'?

Do not do that, that kernel is hopelessly outdated and only available from Ubuntu.

If you want to try a newer kernel than the 4.19 LTS branch supplied with beowulf then install the linux-image-amd64 metapackage from the beowulf-backports repository.

And to repeat: you *do not* need to install the AMDGPU-PRO drivers, they will offer worse performance than the stock open-source drivers supplied with the kernel (and written by AMD themselves).

Regarding the backports-repository, I could install `Header files for Linux 5.4.0-0.bpo.2-amd64` from `backports/main` but... there are also things like `libreoffice 1.7` and generally I made bad experience with backports at least under kubuntu.

You are right. For comparison, I made a list of *ubuntu, Debian and Devuan and all three Distros use completely different Kernel even between different flavour (by ubuntu some times).

And you are also right about AMD-Drivers. I was accustomed to use (until three years ago) NVidia proprietary drivers and continue to do so also at (my) beginning with AMD-GPU. Not only daily update/upgrade of those drivers (PPA) but also daily change of display-quality with system-crash/freezing. I stop this.

It's not (meanwhile) a question of `sources.list`, it's a question of to small resolution

Your desired resolution will only be supported if you have the firmware package from the non-free component of the repositories so they are entirely relevant here.

It is possible that your monitor isn't supplying a valid EDID block (or perhaps the cable or connector is sub-standard) but the most likely cause is a lack of firmware.

and no, I don't touch cable or move hardware, just insert USB-stick with Devuan, install it and got black screen.

If you ask me (as newbie) I would say: Devuan take anyway

Supported established timings:

with/at 1024 instead of

Supported detailed timing:

or

Printing probed modes for output DisplayPort-2

with/at 4k.

But, that's just nagging from my side. Facts are:
1. Installed former Devuan3.iso in VM and cannot get a bigger resolution than 1024, no matter what I try.
2. Installed former Devuan3.iso as main system and got black screen, can login, make apdates, install software but was not able to start GUI.
3. Installed newer Devuan3 in VM and (thank you) this time can I get under `systemsettings5` the full choice on resolutions.
4. In the link you provide (was anyway useful) is not explained how to create the necessary file and how to point the system during start to look at this file, besides no explanation on how to start applications (not supporting 10 ) in 8-bit-mode.

My questions:
1. Start Xorg anyway even in text-mode without GUI?
2. Does GRUB use Xorg?
3. If yes, how can I set the right resolution for GUI, TTY and GRUB?
4. How can I increase the resolution during Installation? I cannot see anything!
5. How to start GUI in Devuan with KDE and OpenRC?
6. How to create the `Xorg-configuration-file` properly and how to point the system to look at that during start?
7. How to let read the system at EDID and configure Xorg properly?
8. Where to store the information/data of `xrandr`?

I read/study now this since almost one year, everydody write someting but all is fractionary, nothing complete, even not in the Arch-Linux wiki, e.g. there is written how to crate a `xorg.conf` but not where to fing the right data to write/insert in the right section.

Can you help me? Do you know a newbie-wiki?

I recently bought Asus 8GB RX 580 graphics card just for Blender 2.8x's rendering engine. Blender supports OpenCL for rendering.

It was on fresh installation of Devuan 3.0.0 in new partition (/dev/sda1) after spending hours to setup the AMD's graphics driver without success.
Here is the steps I've done to setup for RX 580.

Installed amd64-microcode, firmware-amd-graphics packages.

Switched to text mode during boot by removing /etc/rc2.d/S04slim

Created ~/.xinitrc

#!/bin/sh

# /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
#
# global xinitrc file, used by all X sessions started by xinit (startx)

exec startxfce4

It solved "permission denied", "/bin/sh: Can't open /usr/bin/X" failures.

To start Xfce, run startx.

Thanks for your answer, that's great.
I read about advantages of newer Kernel, newer Plasma5 and newer drivers, but... I'm newbie.

I installed `Beowulf` in the past in the VM and on NVMe. The VM give me only 1024 resolution with no chance to change it anyway, the NVMe give me no GUI; only text and cursor. This time, the VM give me full 4k-resolution and I hope to be successful with your help.

My hardware: x399 MB, TR4 1900 CPU, Vega 64 GPU (the x580 got my wife), 512GB NVMe, 64 GB RAM.
OS: Kubuntu 20.04
Target OS: Beowulf (Devuan 3), newer Kernel (5.4), newer GPU-drivers, 4k resolution and maybe Plasma 5.18.5 instead of 5.14.5, but Plasma is secondary/not mandatory. Another 'nice to have' could be 10 Bit deep color representation, but... maybe is only a dream at moment under Linux.
Target OS-details: Devuan-Beowulf, KDE, parallelized OpenRC. That I know how to but... I don't know how to start/stop GUI (you use xfce). Note: KDE is a must (for my wife), the only given alternative is "Astra-Linux" (I dislike this one).

@ http://dev1galaxy.org/profile.php?id=5581.
Yes, I know. It was a (failed) tentative/attempt to get 4k resolution.

@ http://dev1galaxy.org/profile.php?id=5048.
It's not (meanwhile) a question of `sources.list`, it's a question of to small resolution.

After long time and reading this http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=5067#p5067 I loose almost the hope to setup Devuan as main OS.

I will open a new thread for 4k.

#10 Re: Installation » Devuan on native ZFS-Root » 2020-03-22 14:11:49

Good morning ladies & gentleman's,

now I try a couple of days to get Devuan 2.1 up and running with ZFS in the Virtualbox with no good results, but enabling EFI and try acces the "shell" as soon as permitted I learn a lot... e.g. "ash" as shell, "nano" as editor...

I tray even other OS's like Kubuntu 20.04 but reading this... it appear to be a big problem with "SystemD", also no chance, hence I abandon finally waste of time with this.

Due the fact "FreeNAS" & co. use "OpenRC" as "Init-System", it appear to me, as absolutely new regarding "BSD", but acquainted with some Linux-commands... I have the only possibility with Devuan + OpenRC + KDE.

Reading the above article it appear to be a must to set up much more "Data-Sets" as I previously expect, if it's necessary!? I don't know!

Finally i found this Devuan on ZFS and the "LUKS-Cryprosetup" look very good even if by reading linked article is not clear if "/boot" should have own extra partition or not, here, apparently not. Anyway, since I have 0,5 TB NVMe for the OS and UEFI (extra partition), but, these instructions (can) works by installing "desktop-ISO" (GTK), by "DVD-ISO" too? I will see.

Here my Hardware:
- MB one of latest PCI-3e
- CPU 8 core 16 Threads
- RAM 64 GiB (8-banks)
- NVMe 512 MiB
- GPU 8 GiB PCI-3e
- Data-HDD 4 TiB Sata3

Here my wish:
- Devuan "latest stable" 2.1
- ZFS on whole system, excluding "EFI-partition"?
- LUKS-Cryptosetup, excluding "EFI-partition"?
- OpenRC (parallelized)
- KDE as DE

Here my questions:
1. Why dividing "/" (root) from "/home" under "LUKS"?
2. Why dividing "/" (root) from "/home" under "ZFS"?
3. Do I need an extra "/boot"-partition even if I have EFI?
4. What sould be necessarily "snapshotted" with ZFS and what not?
5. ZFS don't need "Swap" but Devuan?. A "Swap-file" instead of partition? how do it? Ones ZFS up and runnig delete "Swap" and "entry" in "/etc/fstab"?
6. Which version of ASH is in Devuan 2.1? Could I get a link with command-list?
7. Want use "GPT", is "parted" OK? Under point "5." is a link that mention "--script", is a selfmade scripts or standard in "parted"?

Thanks again and sorry for silly questions from my side.

Dear dev1ers,

i have installed Kubuntu 18.04 in VB with native ZFS-Root following those instructions and works.

Now, trying to do the same with Devuan_Ascii_DVD.iso /expert install) not working, maybe has not "ubuquity"? Maybe is configured different? Anyway, as soon appear the possibility to access the "bash-terminal" and bevore "partitioning"... the bash don't let me use "apt", "apt-get" to install "zfsutils".

I don't know if the "desktop-live.iso" allow me that ==> "ubiquity" (if any) is working like under Kubuntu but... for me is anyway unusefull because I need the DVD for installing KDE & OpenRC too.

Can you provide me some link-s with reliable and easy to understand instructions on how to do this? Please consider, I'm only user/newbee.

Considering the readed posting on the web and here in forum... appear ZFS more stable, fast and resistent to attacks too. Please consider, for next Devuan (maybe 3.0) to add the option of installing the OS on native ZFS-Root, here is a adaptable program, I read also about some Proxmox-packages that allow a kind of "webmanaging-GUI" for ZFS, maybe can be ported to Devuan.

That could be great for Linux-acquainted-users want build a own server completely on ZFS-basis, of-course could be great to backport "zfsutils" 0.8 to Devuan (if possible).

Other instruction I read are for Xenial (16.04), I read also these here and these.

P.S.: For me is coming the time to abbandone completely the *ubuntu-family and make our family-systems secure and fast, please for your help!

Thanks in advance and best regards. Terence

#13 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » How to install and configure Roger-Router in Devuan 2 » 2019-09-01 08:02:28

Thanks for your answer first,

i know this link including the instruction to install in "Debian 9 Strech", equivalent of our Devuan ASCII
https://software.opensuse.org//download … kage=roger, but... do you mean i should install the *deb-Package (of Debian) or use the method mentioned here https://wiki.debian.org/CreatePackageFromPPA by including "debian 9"-repo and adapt to ascii? And how do this? I'm not so experienced with it!

Sincerely!? The tests under normal Kubuntu (18.04) was not god even with PPA and instructions picked around, besides, Tabos (and other places/pages) instruct to add the "Fax-Printer" manually with:

lpadmin -p Roger-Router-Fax -m drv:///sample.drv/generic.ppd -v socket://localhost:9100/ -E -o PageSize=A4

this don't work under Devuan (at least not in VM/VB).

In my Fritz!Box is a fax already integrated but this has a very big headline taking 25-33% of DIN-A4, this want avoid because, even fax is no more required on daily-basis (as in the past) but when today needed, cannot send such "transformed" pages.

The original "ffgtk" was god (practically the copy of original "Fritz!Fax) as well the first versions of "roger", but become worse and worse with time.

Nonetheless, the addition of a PPA for "Debian 9", picking only the source as mentioned in second Link and build the packages from those for Devuan could be interesting thing for other (more reliable) applications or mess completely the system.
But That's another story.

Hello everybody,

was surprised to find the package in my VM with:

apt-cache search roger

first installed only "roger-router" than also "ffgtk" and finally everything with:

sudo apt install --reinstall roger-router* ffgtk

first start "roger" from Application-Menu, an error-message could not open /var/spool/roger no permission,
starting over the "cli" didn't happen nothing no error message, nada, even the start with:

sudo -i roger-router

don't bring anything.
After install of "ffgtk" got the same, after installed "roger-router-cli" starting it with and without "Root-Privileges" give the same results.

The only thing happen after starting "roger-router-cli" with Root-Privs..., if afterward i start "roger" over menu disappear fast immediately without  any error message.

Have someone of you step-by-step instruction (better for newbie) on how to install and configure "Roger" properly?

Thank you All in advance and best regards.

mv: it couldn't be done `stat' over '/etc/xdg/Trolltech.conf': the file or directory doesn't exist.

root@devuan:/home/astheroth# mv /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini /etc/gtk-3.0/bak.settings.ini
mv: it couldn't be done `stat' over '/etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini': the file or directory doesn't exist

Any idea?

That's mine the file is not present, so you don't need to rename/move the original (of course is not present).
Just continue with the other steps.

Best regards

No, i use 8 cores. It is Intel i7 920 (8) @ 2.7GHz

May i ask you which file-system you use? 'ext4', 'btrfs' other?

Our motherboard should be similar, i use an MSI-x58 over-clocked CPU from 2.93 to 4.0 GHz (182x22).

OpenRC, in my opinion, is not ready for production. Anyone using OpenRC should have that in mind. In addition, I did not notice practically any difference between sysvinit and OpenRC (I mean loading and reloading speeds). So, I decided to stay with a verified sysvinit.  Thank you for your attention.

Thanks for your feedback first.
Till now i installed Devuan+OpenRC+KDE "only" in the VirtualBox using 4 of 12 CPU-cores (Xeon 6 core 12 threads), the new PC-Parts (on which was supposed to install the final system) are on the way, hence i cannot tell you about the behavior in real machine.
I also not seen the warning message (cause of VM?), however i start the machine several time @ day and never got any problem.

Do you use only one core? I can imagine that one core managing 20 processes running all under PID N°1 can cause difficulties.
I also tested TrueOS (FreeBSD) in the past on real machine there use also "OpenRC" but @ time i not yet knew how to parallelize it.
Those test was abandoned due too slow network and my incapability to set up a dark UI.

The dark UI (e.g. obsidian coast or breeze dark) is essential for my eyes and even if KDE take (for me) the wrong way (wit Dolphin, Kate, Kdesudo) i'm forced to use it (even if the appearances are to be settled twice (as user and as admin)) because is the only UI i learn to modify the appearance properly. For other machines @ home i have to use KDE too because of similarity of Kick-Off with Windows (used in the company) and for maintenance simplicity (only one UI).

Now, i would't go back to Kubuntu (cause of systemd). OpenRC is relatively new (@ least in Linux (as far i know)) nonetheless it is daily improved.
I hope, soon will be removed the latter rest of systemd from Devuan so i can sleep quieter.

Additional feedback will follow after assembly and install on latest incoming hardware.

Thanks a lot

Now I got a lot of more understanding about the install process of Devuan-Linux, sincerely thanks again.

For me , as linux-newbie, is then  Devuan_DVD-ISO_Graphical-Expert-Install the best solution to reach the target and hope other user can help it too.

Thank you make it possible through your efforts/work.

It would be great if someone could make a "Wiki" about, also because can be applied to all available desktops-environment offered in Devuan.

Parallelized OpenRC is SystemD-Myths-BUSTER !!!

Yes, Mate is there to choose from. wink

Sorry but that's wrong, I post the Link with ISO let you install 'OpenRC' and KDE from beginning, NO Postinstall, only Post-Parallelism!

fsmithred was speaking about the "Live .isos" which are different than the DVDs that you installed with. wink So, it would indeed have to be done post-install if a user has installed Devuan with a Live .iso. wink

I understand, but, I'm also newbie and can tell that the only substantial difference between "Live-ISO" and "DVD-ISO" is to make a 'click' to select the "Init-System". That's much more easier than substitute the "Init-System" post-install.
I hope we are still talking about "Graphical Expert Install" contained in the "DVD-ISO".
I'm scared too using "command-line" by installation.

Naturally could be a great thing if DEVs add the "Init-System" option in the Live-Iso and maybe out of the box "OpenRC" already parallelized.
Sure is, I never seen and had KDE full installed and operating using only 510 MB RAM and never seen OS booting faster than BIOS-POST.

At this point again: Greatest Job done by Devuan-DEVs!

Can I do it (mate+openrc) using devuan_..._dvd-1.iso?

Sorry I have no idea about Mate but with the DVD-ISO in 'expert graphical mode' you cann install the 'OpenRC' @ beginning.
That's much easier than Post-Install + deleting/deactivate former 'sysinit'

Since openrc is not installed in the current live isos, it won't be installed with the system. You can add it after you reboot into the new system. If openrc becomes the default init system in devuan at some time in the future, you will get it in the live isos, and in that case, if you want sysvinit, you'd have to add it after the initial installation.

If you want to install devuan with openrc on a lot of computers, you could make your own live iso with openrc. You would install the first system with sysvinit, change it to openrc, then run refractasnapshot to make a new iso. Then, any installs you did with the new iso would have openrc right from the start. I've already tried this, and it works.

Sorry but that's wrong, I post the Link with ISO let you install 'OpenRC' and KDE from beginning, NO Postinstall, only Post-Parallelism!
