#1 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Grub "savedefault" not working » 2019-08-17 15:29:14
Just a note to add to SOLVED, at one time I thought there was something about quotes. I just looked at my file to see how I had saved configured... mixed quote and not quote and back-ticks, it doesn't seem to matter.
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"I agree, the mix is sloopy

I have just migrated my debian stretch system to devaun ascii!! I followed instructions Migrate to Devuan Ascii https://devuan.org/os/documentation/dev … e-to-ascii. I wasn't using gnome, so I didn't install xfce4 or slim, manually edited /etc/network/interfaces instead of wicd.
When I ran apt-get purge systemd I noticed it removed some mate components and lightdm, easily reinstalled before I had an issue.
When instructed to edit sources.list - suggest to remind to check apt.conf for a Default-Release setting, it's a slight problem later if not.
I guess I skimmed over the instructions for apt-get purge libsystemd0 - I was running xorg. Purging this removes most of what makes the system functional. Found https://devuan.org/os/issues suggesting not to worry about it.
In the end I have a fully stable (as it seems) devaun ascii system with mate-desktop migrated from debian stretch!! It does work - thanks greatly.
