Hi
It is the default and works just fine in Chiamera :-)
Have a nice day
Hi
I will test the network installer when you ask me. I wait until you say they are ready. It will take some time to do, because I need fresh a backup first.
Have a nice day

Hi
Please relax or take a break. This tone is not friendly at all. And then it is best to say nothing until calmed down a bit.
Take the evening off

Hi
I think all this was down to su vs su - (and the allter is what should be used to get full path

Hi
Would you like me to test the network-install beta again when it comes out later (maybe this week). Just to see if the installer problems in encrypted multiple disk installs are gone ??
Have a nice day

Hi
And fsmithred asked about if enough ram. Yes indeed. 48G. So no issues there. And my system is now running very well.

Hi
My fault (very tired when answering). I have a 1 TB ssd for / . Not encrypted. And two disks 1TB for /home and 6TB used for /data. They are both encrypted with dm-crypt. And getting those two disks to work was the problem. No LVM. Not needed. But as I said if I had made and mounted them before beginning the install it would probably just have worked. It did work in Debian 10 and Beowulf without issues.
No did not edit those files. But that would be what I would had done if not using the installer. As I did when installing gentoo :-)

Hi
Yeah, it looks like a better solution than pulseaudio. But again is Redhat making a big monolithic system. Video and audio in one solution. To me it does not look as the best solution. But lets see how things goes when pipewire matures.
Have a nice day
Hi
I am now back as a Devuan user. And I think I am here to stay for some time. Have been a trip in Gentoo land. And it just kept running. But yesterday I saw the Chimaera Beta isos and decided to give them a try.
I had one problem. But a big one. Encryption with dm-crypt. I used manual partitioning as I have multiple disks. After selecting the partitions for encryption I could sometime "Set up encrypted partitions". Often that did nor work. When it did work they was not mounted by the installer. Other times it went straight on with the install of the system, leaving the rest of the disks not set up. But after about 10 attempts and whimoing around it suddenly worked. So I now have a shining new Chimaera system (XFCE). It works great. And I know the betas is not official (yet)
I have now realized that I should have set them up on the console before using the installer. My fault.
For the few programs I want to keep up to date I will as a new thing use flatpacks. They are endorsed by the communities making the programs, and as I have to use some of them on work as well they need to be comparable versions. But I do hope debian-backports at some point will improve.
Have a nice day

Well.
No, he did not answer your question. And that probably because he was writing while you were posting. There are 8 minutes between his and your post.
I would not use trinity for critical work. But the code is maintained and releases are frequent. So not more risky than other smaller projects.
Have a nice day
Hi
It is currently only possible to start pipewire manually in every session. Their scripts is currently depending on systemd. So I think a no go currently on devuan. And the main developer is the same who invented the pulseaudio crap. So I am suspicious to pipewire. It might develop a new systemd on the multimedia front.
You might have a look on the situation on gentoo: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/PipeWire

Hi
I know. But they might keep a database or another tool to keep track of the records. I was in the beginning impressed by how one person could add several thousand lines in 100+ files in one commit, and at the same time make more such commits per day. Very efficient. But I am sure there are tools for such jobs. But no one outside of muse knows what is going on. But one one the old developers jojoSchmidt is still there. In case of a fork I am sure he might be the person to clean up the mess.
They do btw. still have some comments in the code. But way fewer than previous versions. If it is enough to let someone from outside hack into it I will not be able decide.
We will have to see what happens. If they remove and commercialize big parts of a GPL program they might be on the edge of violating the license, or at least what it was intended to do. I hope someone will stand up and defend the license in that case. A lot of firms are depending on GPL software, and would probably not be happy if someone steals that. And if they require you to buy or download commercial software in order to achieve core functionality I think it must be considered non-free software and by that violating the GPL. The muse group is by the way registered in San Fransisco.
Have a nice day

No, we need to avoid piranhas. They eat all of us except the bones. But in a way they are violating the purpose of the GPL. By slowly making vital parts of a program non-free. But I do not know if anybody could stand up against violations when they happen. GNU.org ??? Maybe google ?? I have no clue.
Hi
A bit related. With musescore they are rewriting all of the code. And they have removed most comments in the code, so it will be a big challenge for somebody to maintain a fork of the new code because of that. In a way I feel they are "stealing" the program from the current users. And quite a lot of the of developers has left.
Have a nice day.
Hi
My biggest concern are actually that they plan to stop further development of the sound engine on the Musescore program. And then let you download a free crumbled add on from their website or pay for a better one. So in fact making the program nonfree for practical use. It is nice they come with developer resources, but they are in fact trying to make the program commercial. But lets hope for a fork of that as well ;-)
Have a nice day

Hi again
My printer is just as old (1997). I will just mention that printer drivers has nothing to do with 32 vs 64 bit. Most printers that worked in the old days will continue to do so. I have not heard about removed drivers if supported by CUPS. And when dealing with conservative distributions as debian (and Devuan) I am sure it will be that way all most forever
Have a nice day
Lars H
Hi
Read the release notes. Especially about enabling pulseaudio for sound.
This distribution is not based on Ubuntu, but debian. As long debian is making a 32bit version (and they will do this with at least the next release) Devuan will have x86-32 bit fully supported..
Have a nice day
Lars H
Hi
You are most welcome. You are absolutely not the only one. This question pops up at least once per week.
Have a nice day
Hi
Look at the release notes on how to enable pulseaudio

Hi
As far as I remember, you need to use the advanced install mode to get this. If you want grub to boot your machine directly it will in my experience always choose the right drive, especially if you are using uefi and secure boot (secure boot do not need to be enabled) but you then need a esp partition.
Have a nice day

Hi
With Nvidia I have for several years just used the open nouveau drivers. And have had just a few problems. Off course with your card it requires a backported kernel. In the last year development have been more active than before.
Have a nice day

Hi
Yes, they are keeping a central quite complete archive. I am currently not following Debian as close as idid when I used it :-) , but what I have heard was cleaning up of all the repository and download mirrors, so they did not have these old unsupported releases laying around.
Have a nice day
Lars H
Hi
All old debian releases are here http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/ and will probably be there for a long time to come

Hi
Do you have firmware-amd-graphics installed ??
