It's better to use startx because that runs X under the normal user. LightDM runs X under the root user, which is *much* worse.

but startx still needs needs_root_rights=yes in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config via the package xserver-xorg-legacy, so wouldn't this be the same? genuine question, i dont understand this very well.

there is always going to be hard dependencies on certain programs, but that is odd behavior for apt to want to install firefox because epiphany is being uninstalled, never seen that before.

when you install a package, use --no-install-recommends like so if you do not want programs recommended by apt that are not hard dependencies...

# apt install <package> --no-install-recommends

libreoffice is a suite program so you cant just have calc and writer. I vaguely remember being able to just install writer and nothing else, for libreoffice, im not sure if that is doable anymore, atleast i dont know enough about it.

cant help with menulibre.

my guess is slim could be the issue, have you tried this below in .xinitrc or .xsessionrc ? I dont use slim anymore but im sure it calls on .xinitrc to start the session from memory

dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4

Edit, i found another solution, this worked with basilisk-browser, just run it this way:
if you using a tarball, try, firejail ./basilisk-bin
firejail /home/youruser/basilisk/basilisk-bin
change it however you like to the location of your web browser directory.
In your case, it would be
firejail palemoon-bin

Not working for palemoon tarball.

it wants me to create a profile but when i do this appears. Im using the GTK3 tarball, perhaps i should try the GTK2 version.

Profile couldn’t be created. Probably the chosen folder isn’t writable.
[Exception...

anyhow this is getting truly off topic for this thread. If the mods could be kind enough to split this off in their spare time. Maybe title it firejailing palemoon web browser.

Ok fair enough, i should have mentioned i needed to reboot as well and it seems to have messed with programs installed on the actual system as i couldnt get a terminal again and dmenu had no entries. After a reboot everything was back to normal again though. I think it was caused by running build_iso_dist a second time in the same session.

Anyhow i will put this on the backburner for now until its out of alpha stage.

Thanks, ive left the build alone since posting that and will do the edit to devuan-minimal-live.blend and get back to you.

@alphalpha it has been awhile since ive installed and used palemoon, over a year i think, so it may have changed since then, will give it another try.

Edit:

Yep same issue im sure i had way back then using firejail and no dbus. I dont know what this means or how to dbug it.

Give it a try, but make sure you are able to backup and recover in case it doesn't work.

I would ignore installing wicd-gtk as it is only in stable for devuan i believe. Maybe try connman-gtk instead. Im not sure if this matters though as wicd-gtk is still in debian experimental. One can always manually connect using wpa_supplicant and ifupdown as long as these are configured before the conversion.

Hi fsmithred, thanks for that. Im using the version listed in the devuan git repo.

so ive run another build_iso_dist and added my packages to the devuan-minimal-live blend extra_packages with arch edit you suggested (arch="amd64" in blends/devuan-minimal-live/config), see here for this config https://pastebin.com/raw/xucLLkPc .

See here for the live-sdk/blends/devuan-minimal-live/beowulf config https://pastebin.com/raw/05KEnxMN, these are all that i have edited throughout this and it seems to have downloaded and installed all the required package sets.

Ive got to this point but have run into an error im unsure how to fix?

there is no dpkgdivert to be called in /home/user1/live-sdk/tmp/devuan-amd64-build/bootstrap/dpkgdivert

the add-user.log says this in /home/user1/live-sdk/tmp/devuan-amd64-build/bootstrap/?

+ export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive
+ useradd -s /bin/bash -m devuan

So the add-user error is just missing the quotes around echo "devuan:devuan i presume ?

also on the latest version of live-sdk i tried the blend "devuan-minimal-live" and it built fine except i had these issues.

No blend specified but built iso with most of the packages from the blend except for the extra packages list, am i missing a command here or something else ?

~ $ cd live-sdk/
~/live-sdk $ zsh -f
laptop% source sdk
 (*) live-sdk 1.0 loaded
livesdk@laptop  % load devuan amd64 devuan-minimal-live
  .  libdevuansdk v2.0 loaded
  .  No blend specified
livesdk@laptop  %

https://github.com/parazyd/live-sdk

oops never mind seems you need to specify the sets here in the blend config?

### now we include all the package sets
base_packages+=(
        $minimal_base_packages
        $minimal_admin_packages
        $minimal_editors_packages
        $minimal_net_packages
        $minimal_prod_packages
        $minimal_devel_packages
        $minimal_games_packages
        $minimal_a11y_packages
        $minimal_media_packages
        $minimal_misc_packages
)
