May be if you start the program from a terminal you will see some error messages. If so, post that messages.

Have you tried gphoto2 -P?

Do you have PulseAudio installed?

If not, do you use apulse instead?; if so, you ned to launch your binary with apulse binary

May be under org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser

Devuan is absolutely hackable. We all like this. The hack from fsmithred is a good example. Thank you.

I always use Expert install from net-install. My hack is not configure package manager and use my own scripts on first log in the installed system.

Enjoy your own hack

Please, don't think so. A lot of people do read this and much more. Keep up!

You can also use KDE without pulseaudio. Screenshots here was taken on a Beowulf 64 bits box with KDE.

I use KDE with VLC sound engine. By default, KDE try to use pulseaudio, but pure ALSA is also available in GUI configuration.

Go to K, Preferences, System Preferences, Hardware, Audio and Video. You may need to check Show advanced devices: (click to full size):

If you (like me) dont have pulseaudio installed, clicking the Test button when pulse is selected will show an error on console:

main audio output error: no suitable audio output module
main decoder error: failed to create audio output
vlcpulse audio output error: PulseAudio server connection failure: Connection refused

Dragging and dropping or with the Prefer button, put the option Default to first position:

Then, Apply Device List to all the categories (YMMV).

Now, you can listen audio even on Dolphin:

systemd workarounds

I've hear that years ago, from the very mouth of a few Debian developers I talked with. IMHO is it again the fight between people that look for the good and people that look for the money. In an ideal world, they should be balanced, but in our world they are not.

Check here (5.3):

Excelent! Thanks for sharing.

Beowulf with KDE Plasma 5 (click to full size):

The Devuan version of KDE Plasma is quite usable even on old hardware (12 years).

Of course, I made a bunch of customizations. Now, I'm very happy with the system and I plan to install it on a few boxes of my family.
