Messed something up in the process of adding a keyfile to avoid an extra passphrase prompt and now I can only access my Chimaera install from a Live USB.

I need to undo the modifications by editing the modified /etc/crypttab , /etc/cryptsetup-initramfs/conf-hook , /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and running update-initramfs via chroot on a live booted system.
I fail at the latter, getting the following warning:
cryptsetup: WARNING: target 'luks-a01-b02-c03-d04-e05' not found in /etc/crypttab

My encryption/partitioning scheme looks like this:

NAME                          TYPE
sda                           disk
└─sda1                        part
  └─luks-a01-b02-c03-d04-e05  crypt
    ├─devuan-rootvol          lvm
    └─devuan-swap             lvm

How do I mount things the right way?

That is my understanding.

That sucks. I might end up installing pulseaudio, which I have blacklisted...

I'm using Arch, which has v1.14.0, and that pulls in xdg-desktop-portal & pipewire with it. I presume you have Recommends disabled (which isn't the best idea) because it looks like De{bi,vu}an's version should also bring in those packages in a sanely configured system (ie, one that has Recommends enabled by default).

I decide on a case-by-case basis if I use --no-install-recommends. Completely disabling it is not for me. Pipewire was probably installed when I upgraded to Chimaera.

The Librewolf Appimage has working sound using ALSA (the build from the apt repo does not, for whatever reason).
Maybe an option ... .
EDIT: Typo

You are right, I forgot about that. I read about the build from their apt repo not working with ALSA for some reason. I won't use the AppImage either, because I want the browser to be somewhat sandboxed.

Disclaimer: I don't use flatpak so I have no personal experience of this issue.

I have to admit that I am not any wiser after reading this. The conclusion is it doesn't work? I only tried the whole flatpak thing again because I read some recent post or article that stated that flatpak works with ALSA now. After upgrading to Chimaera and therefore a more recent version of flatpak, I thought I should give it another try.

A bit more universal:

x-terminal-emulator -e 'sudo apt upgrade'

The x-terminal-emulator alternative should point to the default emulator, which will be xfce4-terminal in an Xfce system. Using the alternative allows the command to work for all desktops regardless of the specific terminal emulator in use.

Thank you, very helpful!

I want to use the Librewolf Flatpak and I can't get sound to work with ALSA. I was trying a year ago, fiddling with flatseal and gave up.

Please don't suggest to use the Librewolf apt repo instead. I will not.

Is anyone using dhcpcd-gtk?

I had to switch from wicd to connman after the upgrade to Chimaera and I am not happy with it. With connman my connection keeps dropping.

Just found out about package-update-indicator and read in this thread that gnome-packagekit is required to use the full functionality, which might be true for out-of-the-box funtionality but there is an option in preferences to run a custom command for applying updates.
FluxBB bbcode test

I changed it to /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal which opens the terminal when I click "Install updates". So far so good, but how can I make it open the terminal and run sudo apt upgrade?
