so, what stops it from having files to boot in Debian? Also, does it understand SysV scripts? I'm curious.

You need some services to boot a debian system. Take a look to reference doc about using dinit as init (https://github.com/davmac314/dinit/blob … AS-INIT.md). This package doesn't block users to use it as init, but doesn't provide required services (this is something like sysvinit without /etc/init.d/ files).

About compatibility with sysvinit scripts, Dinit doesn't have built-in support for sysvinit scripts but SysV scripts are just some shell scripts and can be ran with any init.

Hello.

Dinit is a service manager and supervision suite for POSIX compatible systems. It's also can act as "init" on Linux based systems (and FreeBSD in future). Dinit is focused on dependency based management, clean design, robustness, portability, usability, and avoiding feature bloat (whilst still handling common - and some less-common - use cases). Dinit is designed to integrate with rather than subsume or replace other system software.

I packaged Dinit for Debian and it's now available on https://mentors.debian.net/package/dinit/. This package is initial and doesn't include files to boot a debian system. I looking for somebody to "sponsor" my package and push it to "unstable" repo. For more information please send me mail about this to "mobin <at> mobintestserver dot ir".

Some useful links:

- Dinit project home: https://davmac.org/projects/dinit
- Dinit source code: https://github.com/davmac314/dinit
- Dinit source for Debian package: https://salsa.debian.org/mobin2008/dinit

Regards.

Why dont use apt instead of use directly dpkg?

Because apt performs the authentication checks that are broken until the new keyring package is installed.

you right but works for me hmm

Second alternative: Anyone uncomfortable with those command line options should rather download the new keyring directly, eg

  1. # wget http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/pool/main/d/devuan-keyring/devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb

  2. # sha256sum devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb 96c4a206e8dfdc21138ec619687ef9acf36e1524dd39190c040164f37cc3468d

  3. # dpkg -i devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb

Why dont use apt instead of use directly dpkg?

apt install ./devuan-keyring_2022.09.04_all.deb

I tested Nvidia's proprietary driver and everything worked fine!
How can this problem be solved on mesa/nouveau?

Hello. I decided a few days ago to have an unstable devuan with my Artix Linux.
I installed stable devuan and then upgraded it to unstable.
Finally, I installed gnome with the following command:

sudo apt install task-gnome-desktop

But unfortunately devuan, led to one of my worst experiences of gnome!
The administrators of this distribution have decided to put gnome 42 in "unstable" repositories, but unfortunately gnome 42 is practically unusable and has extremely serious problems!
What do I mean by "extremely serious problems"?
I mean:
In GNOME (WAYLAND)
1- firefox and vlc do not open! (Also on the command line, do not show any error :/)
2- In general, any program that works with X11 will not open!
3- glxinfo does not respond :/
4- eglinfo does not respond when it tries to display information about "X11 platform" :/

In Gnome (Xorg)
1- The screen turns yellow, so much so that it is practically impossible to view the contents of the screen!

All this while I was with Artix Linux & GNOME 41, everything worked fine
Also, to be sure, I installed KDE Plasma on this devuan and everything works fine.
Finally, I asked someone else to try GNOME in devuan, which had similar results to mine.

My system information:
AMD Ryzen 5 3500x
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650 (nouveau NV167)
Devuan ceres (+OpenRC)
