Yeah, he's been around the campfire since the beginning and pops in on occasion. I have had some off-list as well as official contact with him over the years . . .

I am currently dealing with a misbehaving external harddrive that would not mount because of this error:
Error when trying to mount:
Failed to open directory "cstwo".
Error when getting information for file '/media/xxxxxx/cstwo/600':
Input/output error.
There is currently a long thread on DNG about what I have done to get it back in shape short of the nuclear option.
Start by running SMART to get some general info about the state of your drive.
In the end an fsck fixed things for me.

Welcome! This would be a good place to post your How-To:

I'm pretty sure you will be able to edit your posts.

From the Pegasus Mail and Linux Open Source page
The other major issue with Pegasus Mail is that it uses a proprietary third-party product as its core editor, and I would not be able to take that product with me into an Open Source environment. The same problems do not exist with Mercury, because I have written every line of the package myself, but with Pegasus Mail, the problem is significant.
No way of knowing what that proprietary core of Pegasus is doing. Also perhaps some wine overhead?

You shouldn't need to download any packages directly from Debian. The "merged" designation in the devuan source line takes care of fetching packages directly from Debian.
#1658 Re: News & Announcements » Latest repositories for Devuan 3 ! » 2020-08-16 03:27:11
Interesting about backports, how to proceed, which is the link or the guide to get more recent versions?
You can find that information exactly where you might expect it to be - the devuan.org website.
and it would also be good to try the full "trial" version, called a chimaera.
To get to chimaera you'll have to install beowulf and upgrade. Note that it is recommended to use the release name not the suite designation in your sources.list.
You seem to be missing the point of Devuan, which is to be a systemd-free fork of Debian, and which it accomplishes quite nicely.
And as with Debian, the goal is STABILITY not the latest shiny, shiny.
I don't like systemd, either but the hardware desktop of Linux Mint in Xfce automatically detects the devices when you plug for to the ports,
Debian/Devuan are NOT Mint or Ubuntu.

@ofvergara . . .
The refracta website:
https://refracta.org/
Download iso images. refracta 9 is available:
https://get.refracta.org/
You can read about creating a persistent partition on usb here:
https://refracta.org/docs/readme.refracta2usb.txt
That should get you started.

You have to ask the right question to get the answer you want. Many ways to skin a cat, as they say. 
I use -ubuntu a LOT! LOL!

#1663 Re: Devuan » Search engines always return debian when I search for devaun » 2020-08-12 17:32:55
Double quote the search term: "devuan"
And use the -debian operator also.
#1664 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » dist-upgrade on ceres still wants to remove wicd » 2020-08-11 21:14:40
https://bugs.devuan.org/ but these are most likely debian bugs aren't they?

#1671 Re: Devuan » setnet.sh script depreciated? » 2020-08-07 02:33:40
I've noticed the setnet.sh script has depreciated in beowulf. which came standard in ASCII. However is there a reason it was not carried over?
KatolaZ has moved from Linux to BSD so that script is now unmaintained. Someone else is free to pick it up if they like. It may also be perfectly fine to use it in Beowulf. Hopefully someone can advise on that.
