Somehow I still miss, if donations for devuan are non-profit donations, which are accountable as costs inside a company.
But since donations go to a non-proft organisation (dyne.org), it should be possible to get the according receipt?

1. thanks for the hint
2. sadly this menu point is missing in my Thinkpad (T460p)

But I start to kinda like the idea of using the nvidia card only when necessary (power consumption wise)

(First I need to get a working docking station, which is a pain because there are docks with DP and DVI, which are mutually exclusive. In whatever universe that should make sense)

I have pulseaudio Problems on Devuan too.
So just to get it right: Just by creating these dir/file:

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/pulseaudio-system.conf

you were able to solve the pulseaudio problem? All the other config changing above are unneccessary?

Well, yes, perhaps. But nowadays most of the searches will give you the "timedateclt" solution.
And I find it quite interesting to finally "kinda by accident" found out how it is done internally.

Also: I was wondering what requires less typing ;-)

Btw: I must have messed up this while installing. (wonder where I missed the "Europe" path in installation.

Well, a mix of both, I guess.
I think, I did combine 2 things incorrectly: EFi turned off in BIOS and installing with a GPT partition table. (again, btw., like my last Debian install).
I chose to turn off the EFi boot an use a mdos part table, which is working.

thx.
Btw: is there a a way to send PM which I' missing?

Might consider that. The realy sad part is. I only need it to get my VDI running inside of citrix, which won't work under linux (anymore).
And all left over computers only have 4GB RAm, so I go for bare metal for now.

Thanks for the reply.
I know about the profile or .bashrc configs (using Linux since +20 years).

The problem was there is no shutdown in /usr/sbin and since slim complained about rights last time I set it up, it didn't occur to me to use /sbin as a user.

In this specific case I also made quite move, I confess.
The old machine was running a debian 9 (stretch). I installed the new one with ascii as minimal install and then generated a list of all installed packages on the old machine, which I used to install all of them on the ascii installation.

Worked surprisingly well, even tough I had to change the tde-trinity sources.
Anyway it's running with slim and the sudoers config. (I need to prove, if I removed the standard sudo entry and removed the normal users from the sudo group).

sorry to revive this old thread.

But why is this whole policy stuff? or at least, why is it used to regulate shutdown/reboot, which can be handled by sudoers just as fine?
(at least IF some of the lightwight loginmanager like slim will survive.Which sadly might be unlikely for slim)
