Try using grub install from the live disk...
I found that I needed to be connected to the internet for grub to install properly....
The ones I know of are MIYO & Star, I believe.
As you have installed Abiword, I'd install gnumeric as well, much easier than sc-im, (which I quite liked myself as a CLI program).
Also, might want to check out feh for images - https://feh.finalrewind.org/
I think you want to check out some Puppy Linux distros they use compressed software.... ![]()
I think you will find it is because you upgraded the xz-utils package, which is obviously part of xz.... ![]()
The following packages will be upgraded:
liblzma-dev liblzma5 liblzma5:i386 xz-utilsThe link has been renewed....
I used to always add mc - screen - sc/scim as I liked to use them at the command line; they don't take up much room, but along with vi/vim, they make a nice set of tools. ![]()
Website appears to be dead.....
No loss to the forum, which is actually for info & questions relating to Devuan. ![]()
I only once looked in to see what it was about when it first appeared, never been back to it.....but was just curious about this thread.... ![]()
Can't find docs, but when you run it, it allows you to set up your keyboard & country, etc.
I was suggesting replacing the internal HDD with an SSD, as it would give quicker booting & access to programs & files.
From what I find online, that isn't the right kind of ram.....
MEMORY Lenovo ThinkPad W530
RAM 4 GB (1 x 4 GB)
Max RAM Supported 16 GB
RAM Type DDR3 SDRAM
Speed 1600 MHz / PC3-12800
Rated Speed 1600 MHz
Form Factor SO-DIMM 204-pin
However, having said that the speed between 4GB & 8GB of ram won't be that great, (I use 2, 4, & 8GB machines) - I think a better upgrade would be changing to an SSD disk from that old spinner...
With most window managers, additional programs need to be added manually, it's not hard, just one more step....
Congratulations on Devuan's 10th year anniversary. ![]()
(As always, my thanks to all those who made it possible.)
Add your program whilst running 'live', take a snapshot, put that snapshot onto your disk - that's how I've done it.
Sysvinit starts lots of script, whilst systemd controls lots of (built in) processes, it's more like MSWindows Registry.
Looks interesting, most text browsers are difficult to navigate with, I have found, but this is looking like we could do away with a GUI altogether.
Looks like 32bit will have to rely on the smaller distros, such as TinyCore, SliTaz, Puppy, etc.
Seasons Greetings!
If you still find you are having problems, I'd suggest using the 'live' XFCE image, & install from that, it's what I usually do. ![]()
The only laptop that I have now is an old HP G62 from 2011, dead battery removed & runs on mains, plus an old converted to Linux Toshiba Chromebook from 2014, whose battery still works, (so far
), otherwise I use pre used SFF, USFF & thin client computers.....lots of old cheap computers, just for fun. ![]()
(My main computer is a HP Elitedesk i5 SFF with 8GB DDR3 & 250GB SSD.)
Remove the sd card & it should boot from USB, (pendrive or HDD/SSD), otherwise you need to change the boot order....
Hadn't realised it had been that long!
Systemd was the cause, & I'm so glad that the devs forked it to Devuan, long may it outlive Debian!
Heartfelt thanks to all who make it possible for us mere users to continue using Linux without systemd.... ![]()
Maybe, if you really want to add 'persistence', have a discussion with antiX/MX Linux developers, they're a friendly lot.
