#351 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [Found another way] Disable ipv6 using Grub - new wrinkle » 2023-12-25 08:52:08
i like to see my grub menu when booting and so i have it visible and with a short delay before automatically booting
on some systems you use "tab" and others "e"(for-edit) to view and/or change/edit your current grub settings(non-persistent)
on a fresh install, sometimes there is no /etc/default/grub so it is necessary to copy the one stored at /usr/share/grub/default/ and then to edit it as necessary(don't forget to save your changes and to do a "sudo update-grub" for persistence)
my usual grub edits are to remove "quiet" and to add "ipv6.disable=1"
also, to reference the
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="initrd=/install/gtk/initrd.gz"
a DDG search had this as one result:
ttps://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2015/10/msg00161.html
(and our thread was the next result right below it...lol!)

IIRC Mate uses caja
see if this gives any insight:

the unspoken-but-acknowledged-subtext of the conscious decision to go from Beowulf(EOL-20240630) to Daedalus(EOL-2028ish) was/is perhaps subconsciously some denial/reluctance to fully admit his days are indeed numbered(not that any of us knows our exact dates/fates).
again, heartfelt thanks to all who considered and replied!

Note that to get to Daedalus from Beowulf you have to go through Chimaera first and that might be a good place to hang for a year or two . . .
did a fresh install of Daedalus on a new ssd to leave the Beowulf installation unmolested and so didn't do any "upgrading" but understand your point.

The changelog for nosystemd.org is at //github.com/muellermartin/nosystemd.org/commits
There do not appear to be any links added today...
it was a modification to my earlier post(added the referenced link instead of creating another post, sorry if that was confusing)

except as per this wikipedia webpage, End of Support for Beowulf is June 30th, 2024
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devuan#Version_history
so Daedalus(and the more-current version of Evolution) were mostly for support status
thanks for all the replies!

trying to keep my 100yr-old father computing for another year
he is using beowulf and evolution mail client version 3.30.5
attempting to switch him to daedalus and evolution 3.42.4
he hates any/all change and the newer evolution is way out there(wtf, "header-bar"?)
any thoughts?
edited for clarity.

have you had video success with any other distributions(thinking hardware-check here)?

say(random-pick) perhaps TwisterOS?

the guide assumes you can login via serial to perform corrective action
these might provide food for thought

tl;dr- yes, anything AI / BOT / CGI / GPT / LLM etc. that isn't explicitly well-labeled as such should be aggressively banned/deleted/removed.

there will come a time when it will be virtually impossible to distinquish between Computer-Generated-ANYTHING and "the-real-thing".
even if we were able to put the genie back in the bottle, it would take millions of humans years to sift through all the false, fake, misinformed, misquoted, misrepresented "stuff" regardless of exactly the who/what/why.
perhaps we are already living in the Skynet Matrix.
food for thought from Barry Kauler, the creator of Puppy Linux:

came across this image and had to share it given the earlier Skynet Matrix reference:
