alsactl store

(NOT restore), as ROOT should remember the settings between boots.  Not sure about the 2 sound cards though, if it will remember the chosen card.

Do you get sound at all by first selecting the desired card, and then changing the various settings in alsamixer?  Make sure the volumes are up and that they are not muted ("MM" in the box at bottom of control means its muted- dont want that).  Try headphone and speaker; I have a card that always has those reversed.

Maybe you have to disable the undesired card somewhere, years ago we did that via a motherboard dip switch!  Maybe someone else can help with multiple sound cards.

Grand Funk Railroad.  Odd, not in hall of fame.

Enjoyed Healing Breeze.

I can verify this as I just performed a LightDM with XFCE install myself.  I first installed LightDM and then the xfce4 package.  Had the normal permission problems associated with libpolkit, I then replaced consolkit with elogind and all is well. 

I have tested both LightDM + elogind with KDE as well as XFCE and both work.  I wonder if LightDM + elogind works with MATE, anyone test it?  From looking at the release notes, it appears slim is who likes consolekit.  It would be nice to completely replace consolekit with elogind.

I had forgotten about Smithereens, thanks for a reminder, love the 80s!

Joy Division was a group that steered 70's punk into what became alternative.  This is from 79/80.

@zephyr; Roy Orbison.  I heard somewhere Elvis stated Roy was the the greatest voice he ever heard, I have to agree to some extent.  Also enjoy the VH JAM!

When I have trouble like this, I "play" with the file.  I would start on line 1, 1st column and hit enter a few time to push everything down.  Comment out the old line 1 with a #.  Then manually type a new line 1 and even push it down a few lines.  Then run again and see where the error occurs.

And very important as @devuser stated; edit the file in linux , not windows nor mac.

The Cure.  No guitar; base and lead both played on a bass guitar, + very simple drumming.  A rich sound from such simplicity.

Yes, I read that review.  My Devuan installs were from the netinstall graphical expert, so maybe its different from the live install? 

I didnt at all feel the install process was "longer installation process I have gone through to date" (although he probably means "longest").  My experience with the install process I used was that the install asked the questions needed to properly perform the install.  I cant think of any questions to remove and still get the install proper, for me and others not in the US.  Does Debian ask the same questions?  I dont get Jesses beef with this. 

I dont recall experiencing any of this:

I dont recall having to "toggle" anything on the main install display; my install was what I would describe as serially.

Jesse doesnt seem to like the "cryptic" international locales, I remember this phase in the install, maybe a human translations would be helpful?  Dont know, do typical users understand this (important)?.

I dont recall any of this on my install:

My experience with Devuan install was straight forward and not complicated at all.  I think Jesses overall review was positive, but dont understand his comments on the install.
