Hello , i hae tried this, and it would function?

however, for some reason, when installing your freedom-hacks, it always seem to uninstall package "wine" which i let go;

but when afterwards try to re-install "wine", there is again bit mismatch.

like here, in order to install wine-hq-stable

REMOVING

libjack-dev libjack0

is it safe to let remove those packages?

thanks!

EDIT: and Discover app would already propose update libpulse2-plugins.

https://ibb.co/60gdYKKg

EDIT2: this libasound2-plugins route probably not so much needed with your firefox-nightly-tutorial.

thanks rolfie,

found the solution here

vim /etc/X11/default-display-manager

(change to slim)

reboot

(have crossed cinnamon already out; too much like gnome; havenÄ't noticed earlier)

Hello ,

would like to report anomaly,

since have problem with OS here upgraded to Devuan 6.0

now there are some issues during boot like

"i/o error on dev sr0, set 4, logical block phys seq 1 pvio class" or what not

that have not been able to fix so iam about to re-install Operating System;;

however, the file copy mechanism seem broken:

i am doing a backup of files; now backing up files to external HD (around 500.000 files in one folder).

at the same time, like to copy other folders onto NAS.

however, it keeps the other filecopy in queue, although the computer should be able to handle concurrent filecopy easily??

the filecopy to NAS would be over smb://

thanks.

you could try Vmware Workstation 25h2 if it makes any difference?

had however no luck with Kubuntu 25.10; it would install but then after login, just black screen.

Hello ,

found that the printing did no longer function over USB cable after updating to Devuan 6.0 Excalibur.

If someone incurs the same problem, the package missing it

"libcupsimage2-dev"

after installing , the Ecotank Printer would again print over USB locally.

Maybe it got uninstalled in the Upgrade process or at some other point;

Thanks.

i am using Excalibur KDE X11 on my laptop; let me know if it can be of help; it seems to function fine, no major drawback after upgrade noticed so far.

no, no pulse, but thanks for reminding, the pipewire has krept back in; was wondering if the sound suddenly became "tinnier" again;

now it is removed; however, the .aif issue seems a limitation of the program itself or how it handles file/folder structures?

now, no pulseaudio, no pipewire. but folder containing files with .aif structure when added give "no files found".

both for devuan 6.0;

just added daedalus 5 to the sources.list, now it functions (it installed 3 packages).

Have however the same issue as with the pre-compiled version:

when i try to add "open folder" from a NFS share that is on the NAS, it would not find the ".aif" files?

maybe this is a limitation of the NFS share, since am just learning how to do it?

if am not mistaken , have done the same just some days ago, it went about just fine.

probably it is metapackages that are being uninstalled; in case you really got the desktop uninstalled , you shoulb be able re-install via "sudo tasksel" your desktop

is there already a good wiki on how to start with NFS on Devuan?

the "AI Overview" told me how to automount NFS on Devuan, but it came with systemctl commands through the road, so led my bit astray.

#50 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » A tale of two laptops » 2025-10-28 11:46:30

my main laptop is a used A475 that got of ebay<
must admit that it function very well with linux, but i  need to have windows on it, too, since linux it does not support the trackpad after the notebook looses full power< afterwards need to boot once into windows, to get the trackpad working again, and then can boot into linuxz.

its a small nuisance, when compared to the 16:9 screen, which is just not adequate.

have a newer intel laopop that is better in some ways, but still the prefer the more premium line/thinkpad with the older apu/pro that is really silent.

think there is much progress on laptops with linux, just if you would buy a newer one with the qualcomm chipsets or so you wouild probably have a harder time running linux successfully atm, but that may change soon.

here is a ubuntu/list of certified laptops, but dont know the value of it or how it translates to devuan.
