apt update/upgrade works for me on my main Daedalus system and on the two Excalibur VMs I tested yesterday.

This is not the latest version, thats Linux 6.1.0-17-amd64 x86_64. Havent't you got linux-image-amd64 installed?

#303 Re: Devuan » Memory - neofetch vs screenfetch » 2024-02-04 17:05:04

Have a look at Synaptic.

Neofetch is 360k installed, no dependencies.
Screenfetch is 280k installed and requires additional dependencies.

#304 Re: Devuan » Devuan vs Arcolinux » 2024-02-02 17:20:55

Arcolinux is a deriviate of Arch Linux. Latest software versions, but you need to take into account that it may be broken after the next update. Soemthing like Unstable in the Debian world. And you'd be better very experienced on the console.

Yes, Devuan kernels are 1:1 Debian kernels. No modification, look at the package names.

#306 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Devuan 5 Installation without Grub » 2024-02-01 11:57:27

You could use one of the normal installer media. They have a recovery mode that brings up a chroot after answering some basic questions. Don't know if the live version has the same feature, never used a live.

UEFI or legacy does not really matter.

#307 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » merged /usr » 2024-01-29 19:06:29

Got the same message on my two Testing/Excalibur VMs, not on my laptop running Chimaera and Daedalus. All three with usrmerge applied.

Looked at the linked FAQ: What I understand from my limited English Debian is broken, there are completely contradicting messages and no solution. The team does not seem to know how to attack this usrmerge process.

And maybe make sure you have sufficient space on your drives. df -h should help.

#310 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » fvwm or fvwm3 what to install? » 2024-01-26 16:53:56

Just a hint to the OP. He was talking about 2 versions. I did find 3 ....

Its up to him to try them one by one.

#311 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » fvwm or fvwm3 what to install? » 2024-01-26 16:49:34

# apt list fvwm*

fvwm-crystal/stable,stable 3.4.1+dfsg-3 all
fvwm-icons/stable,stable 20070101-7 all
fvwm1/stable 1.24r-57+b1 amd64
fvwm1/stable 1.24r-57 i386
fvwm3/stable 1.0.6a+ds-1 amd64
fvwm3/stable 1.0.6a+ds-1 i386
fvwm/stable 1:2.7.0-2 amd64
fvwm/stable 1:2.7.0-2 i386

3 different versions in the repo.

#312 Re: Installation » Error installing chromium browser » 2024-01-23 16:07:35

Looks like Synaptic wants to fetch version 114, while I get

# apt list chromium
Auflistung… Fertig
chromium/stable-security 120.0.6099.224-1~deb12u1 amd64
chromium/stable-security 120.0.6099.224-1~deb12u1 i386

# apt policy chromium
chromium:
  Installiert:           (keine)
  Installationskandidat: 120.0.6099.224-1~deb12u1
  Versionstabelle:

        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus-security/main amd64 Packages
     119.0.6045.199-1~deb12u1 500
        500 http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus/main amd64 Packages

Maybe you just need to run an apt update on the root console before, or tell Synaptic to refresh the repos.

Then you were lucky for two years. Too bad. Try again tomorrow ...

#314 Re: Forum Feedback » [SOLVED] Quote Button » 2024-01-22 22:36:34

Ladies and gentlemen, calm down, get your emotions down.

I don't care if the quote button is still available or not. I can use the quote function the way it I want to use it.

Devuan is a great deriviate of Debian w/o systemd, and nothing more, it won't save the world. The Devuan team is small and just capable of doing a great job of supplying replacements for some packages that need alternatives. But they can't save the FOSS world from changing. And changes not related to systemd that drip down from Debian may simply need to be accepted (e.g. this su - issue, usrmerge ... ). And the Devuan team is not responsible for Window managers, X11, and other topics that are requested.

I am very happy Devuan exists.

This forum is a user forum that is supposed to help users, and nothing that is relevant to coding and design of software.

If I speak for myself, I am a hardware engineer. I was happy about writing one or the other XLS macro during my business life. I would never be able to code anything more complicated than such things. And I guess we have 99% of contributors here that are sort of the same, mainly users. Don't bitch at the moderators.

Just my two cents ...

Well, you should expect that ceres sometimes does break ... Its unstable. Try again tomorrow.

#316 Re: Documentation » How the heck do I get wireguard to be always on? » 2024-01-22 22:13:18

openrc is nothing but some sort of overhead on sysvinit. Give those scripts a try, I guess they will work alright.

#317 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Help! I cannot get Pipewire working. » 2024-01-22 17:40:10

Following that guide exactly did work for me. Pipewire works flawlessly on my travelling laptop.

#320 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] fstrim command not found » 2024-01-21 13:02:53

The path. Thats why you get command not found.

There was a change in Debian some releases ago that moved the su command into a different package and changed the behaviour. I think there is a hint in the Buster/Beowulf release notes.

#322 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] fstrim command not found » 2024-01-21 12:23:48

How did you try to get root access? A simple su or a su -? Give the

~$ su - 

a try.

#323 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Problem with udevadm and initramfs on boot » 2024-01-20 19:33:10

I guess it has something to do with usrmerge, I would guess you will need to activate/install usrmerge. There are a few threads in this forum ...

#325 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Cloudflare WARP, how to install? » 2024-01-17 21:36:26

You do not understand what is going on?

Simple explanation: the cloudflareclient only is available for Debian releases, the provider don't know and care about Devuan at all. So if you want something that might possibly work on Devuan you must use the corresponding Debian release name for Daedalus which is Bookworm.

The two dependencies are downloaded from Devuan, so don't worry. If you don't trust the procedure install them beforehand.

Anyhow, there is no warranty that that package will work on Daedalus. You need to determine if it is essential for you, and if it is worth a try. I am showing you whats wrong with the procedure, I haven't used or installed that package, no need for it.

Anyhow, I would try to use a different method anyway: I'd check if I could track down a deb file, download that to /tmp and to install it with dpkg -i and not fiddle with any non Devuan repository into my sources.list.
