I'm sorry, earlier today I just reinstalled Miyo Modern/Devuan 3. The login delay was too much for me. And since then have been busy watching (American) football until now.

Thanks HoaS. Unfortunately I still have this problem. I went with the backports, and it installed the 5.14 kernel. I noticed in Synaptic there was a 5.15 kernel and installed that, but still no joy. BTW, I noticed the 5.15 kernel was unsigned, there wasn't a signed one available. Is it bad to use an unsigned kernel? I don't understand why it isn't working cause aren't these the kernels from the unstable version 5? Yet I didn't have this problem running that version.

I guess the only thing now to do is try Liquorix. I assume I need to do the following:

curl 'https://liquorix.net/add-liquorix-repo.sh' | sudo bash

and

sudo apt-get install linux-image-liquorix-amd64 linux-headers-liquorix-amd64

In the first, I notice an apostrophe before https. I never noticed anything like that before. Is that correct or a typo?

Burned a new disc and reinstalled from that. One thing I did differently this time was I did not load the live session to RAM like I did the first two times. I still have the problem. What to do now?

I just installed the new version with Mate, and I've come across a problem I never had before. During boot-up, I get this screen below, and it stays stuck on it for about 30-60 seconds, after which it then continues to the boot-up. I'm going to reinstall after posting this and hope the problem gets resolved. And yes, the download of the iso file came through fine, I checked the checksum. (Maybe there was a problem with the burn to the DVD?) I'll post back here after the reinstall.

I understand and agree with the principle of the link, but that is how it is listed on the websites, and that's how I did it. I never had a problem using either of them.

Hi MiyoLinux, I responded to your email.

I need some help. After today's updates, my computer won't boot up anymore, so I'm thinking one of the updates is causing this. When I boot up, I can see the wall of text that I usually do, but the log in screen doesn't appear. All I get is a blinking cursor in the extreme upper left hand corner, nothing else. Typing does nothing, and neither does moving the mouse. How to fix this?

Answered above. Is there a reason why you asked?

It shuts down immediately when I click that button (if you don't do anything, then it shuts down after 60 seconds). But that, of course, requires two clicks of the mouse, clicking the original button in the panel, then the button in that popup window. I prefer just one click, which is why I asked. I agree with your feelings about that dialog box.  Thanks again for filling me in on how to get rid of it.

Thanks. Taking your command, I created a new "Custom Application Launcher" in the panel (right click in the panel and select Add to Panel), and in the Name box put in "Shut Down the computer" and in the Command box I put in your command "loginctl poweroff". It works. Thanks again.

Thanks MiyoLinux, it was the second one that I am familiar with.
Something about the Deepin startup sound is like fingernails on a chalk board.

Earlier I used the sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdc command. It shows this:
