hello rolfie,
i used this trick on a Optiplex that used to have not network manager after a software update ~
this has functioned reliably, glad i found it.
sudo dhclient -r eth0
sudo dhclient eth0#102 Re: Packaging for Devuan » unable to run photoqt » 2026-06-26 21:19:31
it may very well be that the version of "testing" is still exhibiting the behaviour;
i am not sure what software version the laptop has since it is getting always updates, so it must be mix propablyzy
of devuan 7 and or/sid.
photoqt --version

this aligns with "next-testing" and "testing" from the reportbug-window in gui-mode.
have included reference to the 3 packages, but the rest is up to the responsible persones.
if the program is included int the repos, it should be able to run - no questions asked - that is maybe universally agreeable.
thank you again for letting know of the program and proposing a "fix".

the rpgram seems to exhibit similar behaviour on linuux mint 22.3

it functions on devuan 7 with kde, it seems a handy app.
on devuan 6 with mate, there is probably missing some functionality?
it would open up, but there is not possible to open files - the screen would not respond to mouse commands.

hae however built according to your instructions, but sadly with patch 1 & 2 error (not your fault);
will the resulting "firefox-dev-ed_154.0a1-1_amd64" be blemished forever? are those patches needed?

what does it mean "firefox developer edition is being updated by another instance"?
does the firefox develper auto-update?

so probably the .cubeb thing is not implemented ~ hence , a half-baked solution?

Hello ,
attempted to install this image here for Pine A64+
https://devuan.bio.lmu.de/devuan/dists/ … rd-images/
after installing the error message :
No boot loader installedNo boot loader has been installed, either because you chose not to or because your specific architetcure doesn't support a boot loader yet.
You will need to boot manually with the /vmlinuz kernel on partittion /dev/mmcblk0p3 and root=/dev/mmcblk0p5 passed as a kernel argument.
could someone please tell what the correct course of action in such a case would be?
do i need to manually install grub?
thank you.

#115 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Did an update and now nvidia drivers aren't working properly » 2026-06-10 14:33:39
you could install the missing headers simply by inserting

this has been shared before,

it used to install before, even though it is for made gnome, but so times it break compatibility.
this approach still function from experience , it is relatively easy to achieve.

here it is written
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … le-and-why
"you must install grub to the bootable partition"
but am not sure were the truth lies on these matters.
you could always try to install first doing the "automatic partitioning" , and see what changes the partitioner proposes;
and then make the changes you desire if you so like;
#121 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Help! Install failing repeatedly/failing to mount file system ext4 » 2026-06-04 20:25:59
iut is not directly related, but its a strange world out there!
https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobi … re_PCs.pdf
tend to download the full devuan iso instead of netinstsall.iso ; it is usually the faster method, provided you have good internet connection; but it should not change your outcome; where netiinst can fail, the full iso could succeed ().
also, automaticl installation for a newcomer should suffice; but to be honest, even after 10+ years of linux use,
have not really understood the mannual partition or how it is done properly;
things seem to change; once there was a big swap, then a small , now it is even done without swap;
then there is the other option lvm-manager etc;
but if you had windows first and want just linux, would go into bios and "safe-delete" the nvme first,
plus eventually delete the secureboot-keys, but it should not be necessary.
good luck + tidiings in your favour.
#122 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Unintended reboot » 2026-06-04 09:38:10
did you try to disable "fast boot"?
did you try to set BIOS do "default settings"?
is it a laptop or deksotp pc? ~ modern latop can have strange behaviours , also "thanks" to "internal" batteries.
EDIT: had a similar issue on a desktop if remember correctly; in my case it was the mouse that was causing "wakeup" calls unintendedly and made the desktop turn-on even if supposedly it wws turned off; changing to another mouse solvedt e issue.

one safe bet with desktop computer is always to go into BUOS and press F5 or F8 for default setting;
afterwards you can attempt to install Linux in UEFI or Legacy Modo depending on your needs.
found that with Linux the most failsafe has been to install from burned DVD-iso's , but modern .iso not always find enough space on a 4.7-GB-DVD or even 8.5-GB-DVD;
Devaun is here a notable exception; but had bit more problem lately with installing Devuan 6 than before;
you just need make sure that your eventual Windows installation and Linux are installed the same method (UEFI or legacy BIOS), otherwise grub won't see them vis-a-vis.
if you have a newer computer, it will most certainly be with UEFI (even UEFI only);
sometimes Microsoft forces on certain Windows pre-installed OEM-PC Secure-Boot setting, which makes it ab it more difficult to install Linux, but eventually you will succeed.

Hello Manfred,
you could try this approach which has helped me install drivers for my graphic card;
i thinkg you can install it with another name if you so like (instead of "amdgpu")
there use to be tool "apt-key" or "add-apt-key" or similar, but that is no longer funciton.
this command found on github, it does function also for devuan.
sudo gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 9386B48A1A693C5C
sudo gpg --export --armor 9386B48A1A693C5C | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/amdgpu.asc
just insert your key, and it could be ready to go, hopefully.
#125 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] VPN install & use on Devuan » 2026-05-29 21:28:31
somtimes use vpn to connect to other countries when the content is otherwise not available;
it is a bit of nuiscane in 2026, but glad to be able to access the content.
if you want, you could test proton-vpn which also function for devuan, but the install is bit buried in the many sections;
you need however to sign up with them for a free account first, if you want touse their services.
https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-vpn-setup
then you can login and download a server.config from the free ones available (several countries available) (speeds are good).
you can either choose a openvpn or wireguard file.
previoiusly used this section here
How to manually configure OpenVPN CLI
https://protonvpn.com/support/linux-openvpn
if this does not function for you, you should be able to connect via wireguard.
https://protonvpn.com/support/wireguard-linux
but be aware that atleast on KDE this wireguard thing tend to automatically connect to vpn thereafter, so you need to deselect the autoconnect in connection manager thereafter.
used to pay for the services sometime, but the free service is perfectly usable;
they are happy to help out, but clearly the service is more oriented towards (ubuntu)/(debian)(fedora) users etc.
as of 2026, it still function well with devuan.
good luck if you wannt tu try it out.
