Nahkhiirmees comments:
Hi, when you do get to a tty, have you seen any errors about seatd? Because I found with a clean install seatd was not installed and the sddm would fail to show up and startx would not work either.
Once I installed seatd everything worked again. This was with kde/plasma desktop.
One other thing that may help... add console=tty12 to your grub line... I also add vga=794 to make the font smaller in-case the video module hasn't started, just makes it readable, for me. And may give more clues when it won't start properly.
----------------------------------
No such error but i called it up and it was not installed so i installed it and system seemed to like it and IT DID advance the boot to a clean login position instead of having to fight through paragraphs.
Here are my notes on the more-obvious anomalies -- from phone pic of visible text at rest awaiting login:
/run/lock : creating directory
/run/lock : correcting owner ( but later on at the end it remarks about being locked out of some access and failure to locate server [ which i will reference below ]
er,bin (-2)
nouveau firmware failed to load nvidia drivers ( but i see this often across otehr OS )
firmware : failed to load i915/kbl_dmc_ver1.04
nouveau : DRM: failed to create kernel channel, -22
ALSA warning runtime restore fialed with errors
Setting up X socket directiores seemed to be ok in temp files
Seatd started
slim started
AFTER iintroduced seatd then X proceeded to login ( WHICH IS a help so thank yuou for that Nahkhiirmees.
E: Could not open olock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-fronted - open ( 13: permission denied )
E: Unable to acquire the dkg fronted lock ( var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), ( are you root )
When i run in root it still does not .. just x-sever error - besides cannot boot and stay in root - that is a big no no right ?
Still cannot access a desktop in root either

FAILURE to Initiate Xorg or startx and therefore no GUI for my new install - Devuan 5-01 slim sddm runit openRC sysv
---------------------------
I have read every entry here in the forum here that remotely addresses this cirucstance, but nothing has resolved. Most i understand intuitively even if i lack technique.
I need help.
You must forgive me this first time only, [ i know better otherwise from observing from afar countless foruns on Countless Linux OS ].
Just the faintest background on me - 20 years of Linux use, have multiply simultaneous booted 3 or 4 or 5 OS at a clip. Devuan to me is the answer. I nee not elaborate.
I swear i will come to te appropriate forums here just as soon as this one issue is resolved. FOR NOW it is not possible to do so from Devuan.
I am 72 and still learning every day, which is what brings me here now.
Successfuly7 avoidd text installs because it required konwledge of CLI etc that i was too impatient to settle down and absorb. Mea Culpa.
[I had NO problems with Install on 4.0 or re-install - everything has been fine for the last couple of year - Daily Driver ].
[ p.s. if you have dual nvme motherboard and are ahving iossues with OS seeing both, insert " nvme_core.multipath=0 " Ever kernel from 6.0 onwards has this flaw ].
------------------------
downloaded 5.0.1 and cannot get past the boot journal.
I installed evry combo imaginable in the last 36 hours = various combinations of:
slim sddm openRC sysv Runit, stable kernel vs 5.01
Alternate Repos in case something in one their system pakcages was bad somewhere
Fixed Kernel vs 6.1.1.
with all heavy D E multijples and wtihout
with servers and wtithout
No fixation on PXE VS DEDICATED Boot
Saving a copy of Boot Grub on install iso vs not
And I am Still hanging at the login tty1
- Startx is not acccesible because XOrg is not available from server ( whatever THAT means ). it's obviously a generic reply of some sort.
wont initiate any DE requests ( kde-plasma-desktop)or even Xfce4 ).
Just burps and says they cannot see the Comnents point to Xorg or StartX as the problem, even though they are installed acdording to the system replies.
-------------------------------
I would run Journal CTl but i don't know how for non-Sysd
note i would run whatever command necessary to get a jorunal issue printed out but i have no way to render it because i hve NO GUI.
------------------------------
I am a huge procsletizer for Linux in jsut about everyc apacity wehre my friends and acqaintances could care less.
I would like to make this my home here, BECAUSE THE POINT OF DVUAN is all about freedom of movement.
As i write this it is approx 2 pm New Orleans time ( central ) March 26 - 2024 . i have spent two days on this without result.. .
so will come back here tomorrow morning and hopefully someone can give ma leg up on this.
AND YES am finally going to do Arch without assistance beccause i know i should - to rid myself of the ignorance of being shy about CLI.
but here in Devuan land is where i belong.
Any questions you post to me I will not see until tomorrow so please don't be aggravated that it takes me a while to get back.
It is this important to me that i ahve spent (now 3 days ) so long trying to get it right.
Wont' bore you with what-else i am multiply booting ).
