#26 Re: Installation » Problem with connecting to a bluetooth headphone [Solved] » 2026-01-28 18:23:21
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth is not needed for all scenarios of bluetooth connections. May be this is the reason why it's not in dependencies?
#27 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] how start ntp? » 2026-01-28 18:17:48
I run it manually
ntpdate -s pool.ntp.orgwhen my system clock is more than ~ 20 secconds away. I remember also adding it to rc.local to let time to be synchronized once at boot time.

[emphasis mine]
Believing in software is a fairly insane concept to begin with. Use logic when selecting tools, not trust, and certainly not faith or "belief".
Not agree. It's exactly "belief". Closed source is always about belief and trust. The same applyes to opensource if you can't read or understand the code. For exemple, I can't do it with systemd code, but at the same time I red somewhere an article with statements that systemd + Intel ME or AMD ASP is end of all security. I can not check this information but I can see that there were some flaws in systemd security which were not corrected by red "cap". That makes me to believe that systemd is not good.

#30 Re: Off-topic » AI in Firefox or Waterfox » 2026-01-28 00:21:21
Librewolf too much of a hassle and Waterfox works better
Waterfox is more spyware than librewolf. There are some other options like abrowser from trisquel repo (works on Devuan) or ungoogled-chromium (zero connections to spynternet after install 
). The last one has an issue, google blocks ublock origin. I mean ublock disappears after extension update etc and need to be manually reinstalled. The same story with localCDN. The fact that google bans these two addons means that these addons are must have.

#32 Re: Devuan » Devuan 6 Extremely Poor Quality Control. » 2026-01-22 20:42:31
Been with Devuan since Ascii. This version 6 Excalibur is such a great representation of the extremely poor quality control of Devuan nowadays. What a flop. What a sh*t show.
It's not Devuan's fault, Devuan is unsystemded Debian.
Appalling, to be honest. Now I will leave Devuan. Poor quality control, not to mention the Firefox system bar having to be there taking spaces and no way to turn if off.
Good luck. All linuxes are going down and not only linuxes. You'll not find better. Or may be for just specific use case on specific hardware. May be try void, artix, antix, mx, ... bsd... but it's possible that you'll back. Pclinux did not support qemu/KVM (may be now?), alpine is complicated for advanced desktop setup, chimera linux will become systemd.

Compiling kernel modules for a CPU...?
I used AMD GPUs with Linux for years and can't recall compiling anything.
ryzen_smu for RyzenAdj
ths is due to the fact that amd pstate on my laptop is wrongly configured using very high frequences while idle.
And again, I've never heared that someting does not work on pure Intel under Linux.

No problems of any kind then nor ever since. What on earth are you talking about? AMD v's intel is a non-starter here, so I'm marking this SOLVED.
I had never had "something does not work" on pure Intel. But I had to compile some kernel modules for amd and amd graphics.

I've a problem with opensnitch-ui. Does not matter if service (opensnitchd daemon) is running or not opensnitch-ui gives this error: Waiting for thread pool to idle before forking
The same error is for opensnitch 1.6.9-3 from excalibur's repo and for deb packages from official github, version 1.8.0-1
ChatGPT advises to purge python3-grpcio version 1.51.1-6 and to install grpcio==1.41.0 protobuf==3.20.0. But current version of python3-grpcio in excalibur as well as in ceres) even in daedalus it's 1.51.1-3. So it makes no sense for me and opensnitch is running around one year on another machine with excalibur (it was test and now stable with constant updates).
How can I force opensnitch to work?

Intel runs everything. The problems starts when some AMDs are in use on Linux.

Does runit is automatic in Devuan like sysvinit and openrc?
I mean that when I install devuan with sysvinit the services are automatically installed with packages. The same with openrc with one exception - the boot is still with sysvinit and the service control is with openrc, so there is no real openrc in Devuan. Right?
What' s about runit?
I've just installed new devuan excalibur (v 6.1) from netinstall. I've added gdm3 and surprise, there are no services in the system. Gdm3 does not start. Only dbus, elogind and networkmanager are started. Where are other services? Does it mean that every package that requires service will not work?

1 Try to assign hotkey to xfce4-popup-whiskermenu. If it's not present install it.
2 Strange. Disabling power for display screensaver etc is usually enough.
7 Are we ever gonna have fractional scaling in xfce without blur? - Not now, not in X11 xfce
9 I believe it's linked with pipewire settings not with xfce
If you install Devuan from live iso (XFCE) you get precooked XFCE which is much better cooked than the default one instaled via tasksel or apt.
or choose another DE

I was trying out kde plasma a few weeks ago on a vm and had the same issue.
I had to import the default settings in window keyboard shortcuts or something.
It was just a case of clicking the import button and the defaults filled in automatically.
Yes. I restored the default behaviour. Now Alt+Tab works but the problem is that this require manual intervention.
One more issue I've found in this distro: "no touchpad found". Touchpad works somehow (no 2 finger click or similar just very basic usage) but cannot be configured. xserver-xlibre-input-libinput and xserver-xlibre-input-synaptics are installed

#46 Re: Devuan Derivatives » New Vendefoul Wolf based on latest Devuan Excalibur » 2025-12-11 19:52:41
Continue to test.
So, the first issue - encrypted install is broken.
The second one - "lobo" user name appears after each restart in login field of SDDM.
The third issue - screen capture utility seems not to appear after "print screen" key is pressed.
Not an issue just a point of attention. 25% of OnlyOffice is bought by VK (VK ~ FSB, former KGB in Russia) It's not an issue if it does not connect to internet , just a matter of choice.

If you REALLY want immutable, burn your favorite distro to a DVD and run it live. Maybe with a persistence partition on metal/ssd.
good luck with updates
#49 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] Question, about immutable distros » 2025-12-09 13:12:43
What do they call "immutable distro" is just the system where YOUR ACCESS to it is LIMITED but you can write any malware e.g. in /home.
If you want really immutable distro you can install and configure bilibop from devuan's repo.
#50 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Recommend a Hypervisor ? » 2025-12-05 18:31:41
It isn't. It's just a pain in the arse to package for and maintain in debian. "crap" is an assumption from those too lazy to investigate why it was dropped from the repos, a "sour grapes" justification from those too inept to work around that removal, or...
But it's maintained by mx-linux team.
