# apt install cups

The following trick may do what you want:
1.) apt remove grub-efi-amd64-signed
2.) grub-install --bootloader-id=devuan

Worked in my Chimaera VM.

That will work if you don't use Secure Boot. But you still will have a debian and a devuan EFI directory.

Use the efibootmgr to boot the devuan entry. If that works, you can delete the debian entry with the file manager.

I m sitting on fresh installed Beowulf. No ash, just bash, dash and bash-completion. No problems.

Have you got bash-completion installed?

I am not using the alias.

There are several options I know how to mount a Veracrypt volume.
1.) Veracrypt GUI
2.) Veracrypt cli interface
3.) cryptsetup

I use 1 and 2. All in common is that you have to tell the sw which container to open and where to mount it. No idea what LibPAM-TMPDIR does or requires.

If you use 2 you will see the mounted container(s) in the GUI. I am not astonished that a container opened with cryptsetup isn't seen by the GUI.

Maybe you're right. But for me VBox does what I expect it to do. I can pass through USB drives w/o any problem, UEFI mode is sort of crap but available. I can boot a VM from an iso, ....

Tried the same with qemu/kvm and gave up when bold promoters of qemu/kvm didn't have any advise how to solve my issues. I guess this highly promoted piece of SW still requires a lot of brains to really make it a competition for VBox.

No issues here with latest VB directly from Oracle on Beowulf and Chimaera as guest. No issues with systemd.

Have you installed the extension pack?

Only appears with encryption, because when grub starts there is no access to /usr/share/..... yet.

I'd like to give you my reason why I would prefer the graphical installer if available: I can copy/paste passwords and encryption keys to make sure they are the same.

And I do not suffer from CLI-o-phobia. I started my PC career exactly with CP/M when I was on university. My theses was written on a CP/M 8085 and printed of with  a I think 9 needle printer.

Well, installation is possible with the CLI installer, and just for avoiding a few keystrokes I never would use the GUI. But see above, that are very valid reasons, especially when you are dealing with 40 or more character long encryptions keys. This makes the difference.

Also love Beowulf, though I had to fight my way through key typos.

Another approach: boot the hardware with a life media, chroot into the new system, then check crypttab, fstab .... for correct UUIDs. The problem may the there.

Note: I have used VMs to explore new distros myself, makes sense to get some experience. I used to take notes what I did to achieve certain results, and then I went an made a fresh install on the real HW based on the notes.

That your image grows tells me that you forgot to recompress again. There should be instructions how to do this.
