#1 Re: Installation » Google search for "after devuan migration no inittab or inittab.d"??? » 2025-03-27 07:16:55
The fix is, we don't use systemd, so forget about that. Debian without systemd.
inittab is here and functioning with Daedalus.

Hi, Openrc is working fine for my system. I haven't tried any others since I got off systemd when I started using Devuan (ASCII).
I haven't used Docker, so I have nothing to contribute there.
Welcome to Devuan Forum. :-)

ffmulticonverter is a nice gui for converting all kinds of multimedia files, I've been using it for years. :-)

I think your previous comments in that thread prove your disdain for freedom. You comment over and over your dislike of resource usage.
Said once is a comment, repeated (edited for spelling) over and over is bullying.
I hope you come up with some content that will keep people browsing the threads.
If someone like me does not say what I feel, you will only have the voice in your head confirming you are right and everybody else is ... wrong.

I can't believe you closed the Joke thread.
I actually can believe it because I saw it with my own eyes.
What is wrong with the bean counters in this organisation?
We can't force people to write technical posts continuously which may make the bean counters proud.
This latest move looks fasicist, an overreach of a control fantasy.
I for one, am very disappointed.

try ntopng (ng=new generation, i think)

#10 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Fastest and newest AVMultimedia ever... » 2025-02-17 01:20:25
Hi, thank you for producing AVMultimedia.
I am having difficulty with German language, I boot in non-uefi mode, I don't see where to change the language to English.
I apologise for my ignorance, but how do I change the language to English, I do not see the separate grub boot screens.
I am competent enough to edit config files.
Thank you for your assistance.

#15 Re: Other Issues » Which runlevel for umountfs and umountroot (via sysv-rc-conf)? » 2024-12-21 21:50:16
Hi, Not sure if this will help, but on my open-rc system both of those files have no start and stop is 0 and 6
/etc/init.d/umountroot
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: umountroot
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop:
# Should-Stop: halt reboot kexec
# Default-Start:
# Default-Stop: 0 6
# Short-Description: Mount the root and /usr filesystems read-only.
### END INIT INFO
---snip---added /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: umountnfs
# Required-Start:
# Required-Stop: umountfs
# Should-Stop: $network $portmap nfs-common
# Default-Start:
# Default-Stop: 0 6
# Short-Description: Unmount all network filesystems except the root fs.
# Description: Also unmounts all virtual filesystems (proc,
# devpts, usbfs, sysfs) that are not mounted at the
# top level.
### END INIT INFOI added the header for the files because they have different deps... (should stop)
#16 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » NVidia issues » 2024-12-20 22:00:57
Hi,
If you want to install the nVidia blob from nVidia, install these packages...
libglvnd-dev
pkg-config
linux-headers (common and amd64)
gcc
build-essentialand remove any nvidia .deb packages...
to adjust your screen resolution add vga=794 to linux line, it has /boot/vmlinuz- (version) root=UUID= single ro (for instance)
ref. https://pendrivelinux.com/vga-boot-mode … esolution/
generally I change it after the nvidia install to include
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="vga=794 modeset.nouveau=0"just add it somewhere on that line within the quotes"" (I usually change ro to rw, but ymmv)
you may search for a driver/module here... https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/
to install the nVidia blob, I generally do this with the "recovery" boot, to limit the boot init to just a screen and not much else, for this install and config process.
you can try this at boot using the 'e' key to edit the config boot line...
then press ctrl-x or F10 to boot
You should get to a prompt asking you to type the root password or enter to proceed booting to safemode...
Type in the root password to undertake maintenance
Later you can edit the /etc/default/grub file before running update for grub if you want the changes to stick.
change to the directory where you downloaded the blob and run the installer
sh /path/to/the/nvidia/blob.runhopefully your preparations have paid off and the installer will succeed. reboot
Search these pages on this devuan forum to see other posts with similar instructions.
here's one... https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=37221#p37221
It's not uncommon to have to reboot after setting modeset.nouveau=0
I hope this helps...

Hi, it's been a while but I thought it onl;y fair to state that this mouse keeps upto three Blue Tooth profiles.
A button on the bottom of the mouse allows selection. I'm liking this mouse more, especially the cordlessness.

#19 Re: DIY » how to implement Linux commands for building core boot image » 2024-12-07 22:06:42
hi, I don't use snap(d) or coreboot, that's why I use Devuan.
But a quick search gave this up...
3.1. Removing Existing Snap Packages
Let’s now proceed to remove the Snap packages, or snaps, in the following order:
$ snap remove firefox
$ snap remove gtk-common-themes
$ snap remove gnome-3-38-2004
$ snap remove snapd-desktop-integration
$ snap remove snap-store
$ snap remove core20
$ snap remove bare
$ snap remove snapd
Before moving on to the next step, let’s ensure that the snaps list is empty:
$ snap list
No snaps are installed yet. Try 'snap install hello-world'.
If there were any snaps left, we could go back to listing them, and try to remove them with snap remove.ref. https://www.baeldung.com/linux/snap-remove-disable
snapd is on my ubuntu-studio 24.10 release...
I hope this helps.
#20 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Swapon bash:command not found ? » 2024-12-04 08:25:35
I remembered the path abnomally, but forgot the fix... I had made an alias in bash that made it behave the same way I was used to. (and I carry it over from my backup/restore file from install to install)
So, it was Beowulf... my bad.
Glad you got it sorted. And, you're obviously not an idiot, greenjeans.
#21 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Swapon bash:command not found ? » 2024-12-03 20:35:54
hi, reminds me of the $PATH shinanighans that came with Devuan Chimaera release...
where su no longer gave the user the path root would have.
I wonder if you get a different path if you type 'su -' instead of su.
Seems weird, but maybe you could check that.
