Hi
I finally spotted but needed prompting this post
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=1925as my removal of systemd stuff is on the beta iso I thought I would share the little I know here
And I am glad that link is a sticky too.
Happy to hear everything worked out for you.

Check devuan backports. Do not install directly from Debian repos.
#1754 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » gnome video app? » 2020-03-27 15:51:49
"Gnome Videos" is not a proper filename in Ubuntu or Debian. What might it be? If it is available in Debian we should have it in Devuan unless it is on the banned package list http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt Have you checked https://pkginfo.devuan.org/ to see if it is there?

It seems outdated 6 years after the fact. Time to move on, perhaps by actually contributing something useful?
#1756 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf Beta is here! » 2020-03-25 18:22:59
Just for my understanding: if one already has Ascii installed, Beowulf is now ready/stable enough to be upgraded to?

We are happy to have made you happy.
#1758 Re: Installation » How is IBM support? » 2020-03-23 19:37:39
Yes, it is supported in beowulf:

- Note that firefox-esr no longer requires pulseaudio. You can easily
remove pulseaudio and just use alsa.What a f****** good news!!!
Unfortunately, Xfce now pulls it in. I think it's a recommends though so could be removed with a little work.
#1763 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf Beta is here! » 2020-03-16 16:13:19
Just reading the guide on for how to update from ASCII to Beowulf (https://beta.devuan.org/os/documentatio … owulf.html) I note that the text seems to imply that this would work to upgrade from Jessie too.
Yes, it is possible to upgrade from Jessie! Those pages were just updated yesterday. I'll be getting that straightened out on the Install page later today. beta website is still a WIP.

Dear dev1ers,
The Devuan 3 Beowulf Beta release is now ready for review. The installer isos,
desktop-live and minimal-live isos can be downloaded from:
https://files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf/
### What's new in Beowulf
Changes in su
- The behavior of su has changed. Use 'su -' to get root's path or use
the full path to commands if you use only 'su'. See the following for
more information:
https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/ … -variables
https://wiki.debian.org/NewInBuster
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=905564
Pulseaudio
- If you have no sound, make sure the following line in
/etc/pulse/client.conf.d/00-disable-autospawn.conf is commented as
shown here:
#autospawn=no
- Note that firefox-esr no longer requires pulseaudio. You can easily
remove pulseaudio and just use alsa.
Please read the Release Notes for more detailed information:
http://files.devuan.org/devuan_beowulf/ … _notes.txt
Install, upgrade and migrate documentation for beowulf and be accessed at:
https://beta.devuan.org/os/install (still a WIP)
Please report any issues you may experience to this list, bugs.devuan.org,
freenode irc #devuan-dev or the dev1galaxy.org forum.
In solidarity,
The Devuan Devs
#1765 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » SOLVED: Brisk menu (mate-applet-brisk-menu) is not available » 2020-03-09 01:09:24
Thanks for the assistance.
@golinux I assumed that sources.list would be read by Synaptic. I was wrong.
You will want to update synaptic every time you want to browse or install etc. so it can find the newest packages. You also need to do that in a terminal.
@rolfie So that's the way to specify a repository when installing. And backports makes sense now in the context of packages existing in testing, but not stable.
The -t is only needed because backports has some kind of magic pinning so everything from there doesn't get installed. I comment backports in my sources list and only uncomment when I want to install something specific.
#1766 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » compile firefox-esr (52) --enable-alsa ? » 2020-03-08 03:59:08
Currently it can be disabled in about:config. But since I'm still on jessie, it's not a problem for me . . . yet. Cloudflare is a very-bad-idea (tm). There is a thread about this on the DNG mail list if you're interested.
#1767 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » SOLVED: Brisk menu (mate-applet-brisk-menu) is not available » 2020-03-07 21:37:53
Did you update sources after editing?
#1768 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved ]Mainboard ASUS with AMD Ryzen 3: root device not found » 2020-03-05 07:51:19
That might work if hmj was using grub but according to the post immediately above yours, (s)he is using lilo.
#1769 Re: Off-topic » Veromix » 2020-03-04 23:52:37
deb https://www.deb-multimedia.org testing main non-freeyep
Good that you found the culprit. It really isn't a good idea to have deb-multimedia in your sources. Especially uncommented. That could put you in a world of hurt.
One other thing . . . country codes aren't really available on Devuan. Besides that, there is no US mirror! The round robin at deb.devuan.org is the best option.
I shall lean to creating a git.
Excellent.
#1770 Re: Off-topic » Veromix » 2020-03-04 23:13:41
Not an expert but I wonder how it's pulled into the Beowulf installation that I am running. Probably a manual install I did loads it up in the package management...?
I wonder what is in your sources.list.
golinux, can you help with the team in porting veromix in future releases?
The Devuan team's job is to provide Debian without a dependency on systemd. Our job is not to port everyone's favorite app to Devuan. Users are welcome to do that themselves and share it on Devuan's git if they have an itch.
#1771 Re: Off-topic » Veromix » 2020-03-04 22:28:12
Seems it's only available in jessie:

#1772 Re: Installation » Security Updates for Beowulf not installed automatically » 2020-03-03 23:45:48
It seems to be there:
https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/d1pk … se=beowulf
Sorry, I haven't a clue.
#1773 Re: Installation » Security Updates for Beowulf not installed automatically » 2020-03-03 22:48:40
auto.mirror has been deprecated for a long time. Also Country Codes are not currently available for Devuan. Please try deb.devuan.org to see if that fixes things.
#1774 Re: Off-topic » deb.sury.org now requires systemd » 2020-03-02 00:49:30
Yes, Devuan needs long-term commitment from its users if it is going to survive. That's not someone else's job. Every user should do their part.
#1775 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] B360M-C Motherboard Installation » 2020-02-28 15:44:07
Never EVER use Debian repos directly. That could put you in a world of hurt. Devuan package repositories are exclusive. Other repositories, including Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc, should NOT be used directly.
Also Devuan recommends using the codename (jessie, ascii, beowulf, ceres) rather than the suite (oldstable, stable, testing, unstable) in /etc/apt/sources.list entries. Please go to Devuan Release Information for more details.
https://pkginfo.devuan.org/ is an excellent resource to discover what is available in the Devuan repos. Also https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt for what will break Devuan.
