I use a zebra printer on a debian machine, and I used devuan machine to connect and print from it. I did nothing in devuan machine at all. Just setting up printer on debian, then when I open printer-options, there is that printer(given that they are connected to the same network). Then I printed, it worked the first time. I am happy. Although, for few first tries, it shown printing pages too big for it's size. For example I use something like 50*30mm, but libreoffice writer page there is 500*300mm at least. But after a few restarts now it works. Great, we don't depend on systemd for this then
I have a laptop, it's own screen has lightning problems. So I use another monitor. But when logging with slim, it shows the login text on the laptop screen, I can barely see that screen. I want that thing shown on the monitor I plugged.
Haven't tried it but their colllectd .deb has a sysvinit script as well as a systemd unit file so it looks promising.
Why don't you experiment in a disposable VM and report back?
Didn't work. It gave this output:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openmediavault : Depends: netplan.io but it is not installable
Depends: systemd but it is not installable
Depends: systemd-sysv but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
bash: omv-confdbadm: command not found
root@somepc:/home/user# rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openmediavault.list
Is it possible? It's quite possible to install omv on top of freshly installed debian. Can I do it with devuan?
Pop 22.04 has a weird problem, no mouse at all works. Only touchpad. But on devuan 5.18 kernel, everything works. The backports one I mean. I am back with devuan. Does anyone has the same problems with ubuntu 22.04 and derivatives?
Why don't we fork systemd instead? Let's just remove unneccessary parts. Can't we do that? Wouldn't it be better? Or worse?
Will it be something we hate as much as systemd? Just curious. Sorry if this was asked before. Is it as bad as systemd or worse? By the way, why don't we fork systemd instead? Let's just remove unneccessary parts. Can't we do that?

You're welcome.

The 340XX drivers are propiertary/closed source and Debian cannot supply a 340XX package because Nvidia will not update them for newer kernels.
True to their A1-asshole mentality, they will not release the code for the hardware to be used in newer kernels.
What about old amd cards? How do they work then? Like for example, hd 6850. I still use it with 5.10 kernel. I don't think amd still release something for them. Just curious. I also got some x1950, a prehistoric card.
Which results in things like, I for one set up a password with ö, although I selected Turkish keymap at start and pressed ö in my keyboard, it still uses English keymap which that, password doesn't wont really have ö in it, instead it has "," which is in place of ö. That is just an example. Probably happens with all non English languages. I think Swedish has ö, Germans have ü. I can pass this because I know English keyboard aswell, so a lucky guess fixed this problem for me.
When I installed devuan for the first time, I saw that in sources.list only this repo is enabled:
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main
Other security and updates are there but commented. Why is this? Should I uncomment them?
This SOLVED it.
But on artix the packages were like this, for example openssh has openssh-runit package which triggers it running at boot. It is configured to not work like this in devuan,right?
Have you seen https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Improving_performance? Not sure how much Artix does in respect of optimisation but you might be able to squeeze a bit more from it.
I find Debian & Arch to be almost identical in respect of gaming performance with amdgpu (both are better than Windows) but Debian is "lighter" than Arch generally.
EDIT: I use the cpufreq.default_governor=performance kernel command line parameter, that might help you if you're not bothered by the reduced battery life (only for kernel >5.9). And mitigations=off but don't try that with Intel :-)
I use gamemode. I think it already does that governor thing isn't it?

Check the logs to see if any packages were removed for that operation. I've had both GNOME & Xfce working under Devuan chimaera so it should be possible.
This should re-install the full Xfce desktop:
# apt install task-xfce-desktop
This gave me already installed thing. I did it with this instead:
sudo apt install task-xfce-desktop --reinstall
I installed gnome with this command: sudo apt install task-gnome-desktop
And chose gdm instead of slim. Now when I choose xfce from the bottom, it stil brings me to gnome wayland. Why? Is XFCE broken now?
I dual boot with artix. And, devuan stable was both better, and also cooler. Devuan was around 54 C max, whereas artix, 62 C. And FPS was better, and much less stutter either way. The game I used is wow wotlk 3.3.5a, playing on a private server(I play sometimes for nostalgia). I got around 45-50 fps, awesome for this laptop right?
For artix I used the linux-zen kernel, but I use stock kernel in devuan maybe that's why. I will test again with stock arch kernel later.
This is my system info. Pretty potato pc right?

I forgot to say that I use XFCE.
Linux devuan 5.10.0-11-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.92-1 (2022-01-18) x86_64 GNU/Linux
This is the one I currently use. Although I mostly use xanmod one. It doesn't work there either. Btw, do you think xanmod would really improve this device's performance? It has atom N450 CPU 1.66 ghz.
Btw I found this article in debian wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebia … ung%20N150
They say add that acpi_backlight=vendor line to the grub, which I did. I am not a newbie btw, I did it right
Not a big problem for me though. I could live with this.
Which desktop is this? Is it Xfce?
Are the brightness keys recognised if you run
xev
^ That command is provided by the x11-utils package.
No, they are not recognized by xev
Look at screenshot #19 in the install guide
I am sorry but still dont get it. I got devuan live iso and there is no such option, its all live install. Is it netinstall?
However, fn volume buttons do work. Brightness fn buttons dont. But, I can still change the brightness in the panel.
In debian, fn brightness buttons do work properly.
I downloaded devuan xfce live iso, I wasn't presented to choose any init system. What iso provides that? Should I have to choose that 5 GB all in one iso?
In debian wiki, there are some systemd commands. Couldn't find sysvinit equivalent of them. What to do?
There s cd2-3-4 but no cd 1? Why is that? Am I missing something here? What should I do to burn them to cd now? I have old CD's laying around, I am so tired of rewriting linux to USB's everytime
How's the performance? Does devuan's slow development cycle somehow negatively affects developing? Android is ok but react and flutter is always changing. I hate them both tbh but I need to work with them anyway. Would that cause a problem anyhow? If that does, I would prefer some rolling distro for that right now.
The latter method will let you drop wicd & NetworkManager entirely. They're both bloat anyway.
Wait. What if I reinstall, then remove wicd and install networkmanager, then update? How do you install networkmanager properly? I can't find any wiki about that. And I need to add it to sysvinit aswell?
Hi guys, I gotta say it's most likely wicd bug, I'll probably have to install networkmanager, I had problems with connman too before, in different systemd free distros.
So, I changed to unstable from testing. You know, changing the >apt>sources.list file. But I only changed two entries to ceres.
I only changed 2 entries, one in packages the other in sources:
deb http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/merged ceres main
And the other one was like this, I didn't touch security and updates ones.
Then I run updates. After the restart, the wicd was gone. Even run application couldn't find it.
Now I don't even have internet either I cannot connect. How to connect to internet without wicd?
