@golinux, having a look at that git for the graphics and artwork, is the reason so much is needed to be done due to rebranding from debian to devuan? I mean if its not done would debian artwork and graphics leak into the fork?

You probably have a 64 bit machine, that means you need to use the devuan_daedalus_5.0.1_amd64_desktop.iso.
Have a search online for the meaning of i386 and amd64.

Just to make sure what is the output of below command?

lscpu |grep "Architecture"

Does your network card support AP mode?

Also see here

I know they are archlinux links but the arch wiki is usually pretty good when it comes to stuff like this.

Im pretty sure the devuan installer has an option to bypass installing a bootloader. What have you experienced so far?

As per chris2be8 advice, i think you need to also be in the "plugdev" group as well as the "netdev" group.
Im not sure how you would manage networkmanager without polkit, its probably best to install polkitd and reboot.

sudo gpasswd -a tyrlak plugdev
sudo apt install polkitd

reboot

As the old saying goes, "common sense is not so common anymore" rings true throughout the millennia. I have read conspiracies that there were possibly dark designs behind the breach that's why the file or whatever got zeroed out before it could be analyzed properly, possibly a fail safe mechanism built in just in case it did what it did last week and crashed millions of pc's, so in effect no one would get any value from the kernel crash dumps.

Looks like you may need libmagic-dev development files. Have you installed those?

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libmagic-dev

Install that and see if you can build it again.

Im not really sure about backward compatibility of older versions of gtk on newer gnu/linux systems.

My doctor said I was overweight and asked me if I'd ever even attempted a push-up.
I said "Hey doc, I know I'm out of shape, but suggesting that I wear a bra is just insulting."

I was reading this "might" be due to a power related issue, is the ssd powered? Maybe need a better usb adapter cord or something too.

If you can, use lsusb to diagnose power.
Get your device ID like im doing below for my fresco usb hub device with whatever your device is called. You can just use lsusb to get all devices in a list find it then follow along below.

# lsusb | grep "Fresco"

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1d5c:5001 Fresco Logic USB3.0 Hub

# lsusb -d 1d5c:5001 -v 2>/dev/null | grep 'MaxPower'

    MaxPower                0mA

quote from https://authorsguild.org/news/ai-drivin … on-amazon/

A blind woman got on a bus. Sadly, all the seats were taken.
A man noticed that no one else on the bus was willing to give up their seat for the blind woman, so he kindly guided her to his seat and took a standing spot. As the bus started up, the man frowned at the others for their selfishness.

Later that day, the man came home in tears, covered in bruises.

"What's the matter?" asked the man's wife.

"I lost my job as a bus driver."

Luckily we have a thing called "natural ability" to help others in such situations, e.g. "inherited behavior".
