Thanks to all who answered. I have a question for using both Kelsoo's and HoaS's answer:
For Kelsoo's simple command: sleep 300 ; mplayer loud-song.ogg
is there a way to set it so that mplayer continues to play the sound file, until I tell it to stop?
For HoaS's script, same question.
I assume this is a terminal command? What does "sleep" do? I don't want my computer to go to sleep.
I used to use an app called Alarm-clock-applet, or something like that. It is not available in the Devuan 3 repos. Can anybody suggest something like it? I just want a simple timer to set that will ring/play an alarm alerting me that time's up. I usually use it when I set water to boil on the stove-top (one time I forgot and boiled away all the water, yikes).
On a related question, I see one potential replacement, gnome-clocks, however it needs avahi-daemon installed. On my list of "things to do" after a fresh OS install is to delete avahi-daemon. I don't have why, just delete it. Is there any reason why having this avahi-daemon is a bad idea? There must have been a reason why I wanted/needed it deleted.
Hi Ron.
I installed Modern on a partition, but I'm not getting a "wait message".
No, I meant on the Mate Miyo version; sorry I wasn't clear about that. I'm not getting any errors or delay with Modern, nor when I had the rolling release (except when I downloaded the buggy updates for the rolling). Sorry for the confusion.
There was one thing I wish I did before I reinstalled Modern. When the boot up process picked up after the message in the image above, the first line said something to the effect of "No longer waiting . . . ." I don't remember if it said what it was waiting for as the text would speed by very fast (I don't think it did). Does this offer any clues as to what could've been the problem?
Use this command to list all UUIDs for your drives:
I'm sorry, earlier today I just reinstalled Miyo Modern/Devuan 3. The login delay was too much for me. And since then have been busy watching (American) football until now.

So you don't see the errors with other distributions that use the 5.15 kernel?
No, I didn't get this error while I was running the unstable Miyo/Devuan 5. Version 5 uses the 5.15 kernel, I think. Honestly, I'm thinking of either going back to version 3 (Miyo Modern), or the unstable and make sure this time I'm running apt-listbugs.
On a side note, I want to thank you HoaS . . . you've helped me out a handful of times here on the forums. It is appreciated.
Thanks HoaS. Unfortunately I still have this problem. I went with the backports, and it installed the 5.14 kernel. I noticed in Synaptic there was a 5.15 kernel and installed that, but still no joy. BTW, I noticed the 5.15 kernel was unsigned, there wasn't a signed one available. Is it bad to use an unsigned kernel? I don't understand why it isn't working cause aren't these the kernels from the unstable version 5? Yet I didn't have this problem running that version.
I guess the only thing now to do is try Liquorix. I assume I need to do the following:
curl 'https://liquorix.net/add-liquorix-repo.sh' | sudo bash
and
sudo apt-get install linux-image-liquorix-amd64 linux-headers-liquorix-amd64
In the first, I notice an apostrophe before https. I never noticed anything like that before. Is that correct or a typo?
Burned a new disc and reinstalled from that. One thing I did differently this time was I did not load the live session to RAM like I did the first two times. I still have the problem. What to do now?
Okay, it's still happening after the reinstall. Any ideas what to do? I guess I can reburn to a new DVD disc and try again.
I just installed the new version with Mate, and I've come across a problem I never had before. During boot-up, I get this screen below, and it stays stuck on it for about 30-60 seconds, after which it then continues to the boot-up. I'm going to reinstall after posting this and hope the problem gets resolved. And yes, the download of the iso file came through fine, I checked the checksum. (Maybe there was a problem with the burn to the DVD?) I'll post back here after the reinstall.

No it isn't. Read the site you have linked again — it installs the script to /usr/local/bin/, which would need sudo, but you have installed it to ~/.local/bin/, which does not need sudo.
I see. I made an assumption when I made my first post in this thread (I have deleted the assumed part lest it cause problems for anybody who may read it and try it). Sorry to all. I do the installation as posted on the website (the image in my post above). I did not know this other way to install. Thanks to HoaS for (knowingly or unknowingly) pointing out my assumption.
@Ron: you shouldn't use sudo to download stuff into your home directory. If you didn't use sudo with wget then you wouldn't need to use it with chmod either. Never use elevated privileges unless you have to.

I understand and agree with the principle of the link, but that is how it is listed on the websites, and that's how I did it. I never had a problem using either of them.

Hi MiyoLinux, I responded to your email.
I was using the Miyo version based on the unstable . . . I had a good two month run with no troubles until this. I decided this morning to switch to Miyo Modern.
MiyoLinux, is there a version based on Devuan 4? I thought that was what I was getting but this is based on 3.
I need some help. After today's updates, my computer won't boot up anymore, so I'm thinking one of the updates is causing this. When I boot up, I can see the wall of text that I usually do, but the log in screen doesn't appear. All I get is a blinking cursor in the extreme upper left hand corner, nothing else. Typing does nothing, and neither does moving the mouse. How to fix this?
The problem is Gooble is a monopoly and the U.S. government is doing nothing about it. Since Gooble is a monopoly, they dictate web standards (which of course they incorporate into their browser), and it's always a catch-up game for browsers not based on the same engine. Add in the fact of lazy web developers, and you have the mess of an internet we have today.
I'd suggest Pale Moon, but there will be a handful of sites that don't render properly on it, because of the 2 issues above. (For those, I hold my nose and use Vivaldi.)
Is policykit installed?
Answered above. Is there a reason why you asked?
Is policykit installed?
Yes, policykit-1 and policykit-1-gnome are installed.
It shuts down immediately when I click that button (if you don't do anything, then it shuts down after 60 seconds). But that, of course, requires two clicks of the mouse, clicking the original button in the panel, then the button in that popup window. I prefer just one click, which is why I asked. I agree with your feelings about that dialog box. Thanks again for filling me in on how to get rid of it.
Question: Is this the same command that runs when I click Shut Down in the window screenshot I posted?
Thanks. Taking your command, I created a new "Custom Application Launcher" in the panel (right click in the panel and select Add to Panel), and in the Name box put in "Shut Down the computer" and in the Command box I put in your command "loginctl poweroff". It works. Thanks again.
This is a pretty generic question, so I'm not sure I should put it here, but here it is anyway. When I click on the Shutdown button, I get the window below with the choices "Restart" or "Cancel" or "Shut Down." Is there a way I can put a shortcut on the panel to just simply shut down the computer without being asked this?
