Why have you added Debian buster & bullseye repositories?
The active sources show your "version" just fine, no need to bother with lsb_release.

Which version of Devuan is this?
Please post the output of
apt policyYou should probably also tell us which desktop environment (or window manager) you're using.

This is all resulting from the General Resolution vote about non-free firmware for the upcoming Debian bookworm release:

(Don't try to understand the Condorcet voting system, it will just make your head hurt.)

Only if you need non-free firmware.

Looks like you should have posted here instead then:

Why have you posted a picture of text? What is wrong with you?
#57 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » GIMP interface icons. » 2023-01-31 17:12:48
This will show the Devuan version:
apt policyProbably useful information.

Or sudo -i.
#59 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Musl based Devuan derivative? » 2023-01-31 17:02:58
I've been banging the musl libc drum for years now. GNU's libc version is bloated and just as guilty of feeping creaturism as systemd, IMO. In fact systemd relies on GNU's non-standard libc extensions for many of it's features, which is why musl libc is incompatible.
However, rebasing the distribution to musl would require rebuilding and repackaging the entire Debian distribution, including the toolchain, which is a stupid amount of work. Expecting the Devuan developers to take that on is just not reasonable.
Stick to Alpine, it's completely awesome and it's also one of the more popular Linux (not GNU/Linux btw, no GNU bloat in the stock system) distributions so it's not going anywhere in a hurry.

What does apt policy say? Is the new component listed there?

#66 Re: Freedom Hacks » Tinfoil Tuxery - Packages_of_interest » 2023-01-28 18:55:57
A few weeks ago, i installed redshift, in order to change colortemp on my screen.
But.. It wanted to install 'geoclue-2.0' and 'iio-sensor-proxy' too.
Just use equivs to generate "fake" packages to satisfy those dependencies without providing the functionality.
To do this create a file called geoclue-2.0.ctl with this content:
Package: geoclue-2.0-dummy
Provides: geoclue-2.0
Conflicts: geoclue-2.0
Description: geoclue-2.0 dummy packageThen run
equivs-build geoclue-2.0.ctl
dpkg -i geoclue-2.0-dummy*.deb # as rootUse the same technique with any other "fakes" that may be required.

Unfortunately something happened to my old computer so that it became non-compatible with GRUB
Sounds unlikely. Feel free to open a new thread about that.

@golinux: I think antiX is using https://gitlab.com/antix-contribs/slimski. I thought Devuan was as well tbh.
#70 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Devuan 4 in Brazilian Portuguese » 2023-01-27 20:47:04
Hello :-)
Have you tried
# dpkg-reconfigure localesWhich programs are you having problems with?
#71 Re: DIY » sudo and slim » 2023-01-27 20:43:29
So are you just unsquashing the filesystem, editing things, then re-packing?
Why not build an ISO from scratch instead? I think Refracta has tools for that. I use Debian's live-build myself, which works really well.
#72 Re: DIY » sudo and slim » 2023-01-27 20:35:52
The original version of SLiM was broken in respect of login sessions but it looks like the new "SLiMski" (lol) version has fixed that.
It's really not worth bothering with though because it runs X under the root user. My live ISO images used startx from a console login to get X running under the normal user and remove a layer of needless bloat.
No idea how to configure SLiM though, sorry. I wouldn't touch that software with your 10 foot barge pole 
#74 Re: DIY » sudo and slim » 2023-01-27 18:37:06
First i used "sudo usermod -G devuan,cdrom,floppy,audio,dip,video,plugdev,netdev devuan" . After that i locked out and i could not back log in as "devuan" .
Just tried that. Was able to log in again fine afterwards.
The livecd i tried is modified devuan chimaera.
Can you be more specific? Looks like you broke it
EDIT: and please don't full-quote unnecessarily. It makes the thread harder to follow.
#75 Re: DIY » sudo and slim » 2023-01-27 17:52:51
So first i thought that i'll remove user "devuan" from group sudo. After that i couldn't log in.
I cannot reproduce that with devuan_chimaera_4.0.2_amd64_desktop-live.iso.
I used
sudo gpasswd -d devuan sudoThen logged out and was able to log in again via SLiM with no problems.
What were the exact commands you used? Was this with a stock ISO image?
