I think part of the the problem in beowulf is due to versions mismatch. elogind in beowulf eliminates libsystemd0.

Always good to search before asking.

Are we really going down this road again? IMO the best analysis of all is here. Not a "website" but nails the issues in one post:

@Miyo . . . I was just going to post that. Happy to see that you found it.
#2030 Re: Off-topic » Marginalizing systemd » 2019-08-26 22:21:31
This is a question to be asked on Red Hat or Fedora forum. And best to do research before asking/answering.

Skylake (and other *lake processors) have been troublesome for years. That may or may not be the OP's issue but there could be something useful in that thread. There are other references to Skylake on this forum too.
#2032 Re: Off-topic » Knoppix 8.6 — first wide public release to abandon systemd » 2019-08-23 04:04:17
That question is a total waste of time and mental space. It would be more useful to focus on what needs to be done for Devuan NOW.
#2033 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Random freezing on desktop » 2019-08-22 22:31:40
top or htop will let you investigate running processes. mate-system monitor is also useful (but pulls in quite a few gnome deps).
#2034 Re: Other Issues » apt https fail (beowulf) » 2019-08-11 18:54:45
Most devuan mirrors do not support https. Either use http or choose one specific mirror that provides https.

OT observation . . . I don't think that there is a pkg mirror in the US
#2036 Re: DIY » Without Devuan , With Debian » 2019-08-07 15:15:33
No need to reinvent the wheel. Devuan already does that. All "safe" Debian packages are available from Devuan repos using Amprolla 3 to filter packages that would break Devuan.
#2037 Re: Other Issues » debian buster packages broke my system » 2019-08-04 17:37:46
Debian repos are already available in Devuan repos via redirect. Debian repos should never be used directly. Did you look for krita in ascii backports? You likely have created a frankendevuan. I am not one to help you out of the hole you're in. But I imagine a reinstall might be the only way out of this or possibly an upgrade to beowulf (which isn't really ready for primetime yet).

"We are building the new neuro-anatomy of the human race. In the process we are destroying the human attention system, changing our idea of what it means to be human. The effect on our capacity for freedom and self-government is devastating, but not so bad for those who want to govern us. People are increasingly aware of the problem, but don't know what to do. In this talk, I explain how and why."

Here at Devuan are trying to fix our small corner of this bigger problem. Title of the conference was "tl;dr". Yes, this talk is longish but well worth the time . . . imo, of course.
#2039 Re: Installation » Beowulf ISO for a server install » 2019-07-26 17:31:34
Beowulf has not been released yet. If you want to upgrade, just change ascii to beowulf in your sources.list after fully updating and upgrading.

Except for the few packages we need to clean up and blacklisted packages, Devuan pulls directly from Debian repos via redirect. Have no idea how others downstream from Debian do it.

#2042 Re: Off-topic » Mate and Trinity » 2019-07-19 06:45:06
In our case it's because no one has volunteered to package and maintain it. Last year I had a discussion with the Trinity folks about doing just that but in the end, no one stepped up to do the work.

There is another distro? LOLOL!

#2044 Re: Off-topic » Boom Times or financial apocalypse » 2019-07-16 20:40:00
That would be the second lock on this thread. Let's see if Devuan users can get it together to stay on topic and not wander off into flights of fancy (that might be very real to them). Anyway . . . it IS in OT. Time will tell . . .
#2045 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Running refractasnapshot on "classical" installed systems » 2019-07-13 07:12:11
Something is definitely going on with refractasnapshot and compression/decompression. I don't begin to understand it but here's a report of a similar failure. fsmithred will figure it out eventually.
#2046 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Grub "savedefault" not working » 2019-07-13 01:05:29
I suspect the question is probably "what is different between mint and devuan".
#2047 Re: Installation » Xfce: TraditionalOK from mate-themes should be blue, but it's black » 2019-07-12 21:33:46
Are you talking about the titlebar? You need to select TraditionalOk in the Window Manager settings in addition to choosing the theme.

If any one has any interest in Developer, security, Linux-Image (GNU kernel) and web design customized Devuan respins, please ping me and I'll share my package lists.
Welcome! Nice that you finally decided to take a leap and say hi. How about sharing some of your Devuan-related work here or here. Or perhaps applying some of your talents towards improving Devuan at the source.

Thanks.
I also ran this command for libpulse0 and it shows that of the apps I have installed, that simple screen recorder, mpv, mplayer, and mate-settings-daemon (among others) depend upon it. Looking at the description for libpulse0 in Synaptic it says it is PulseAudio client libraries. Why would these apps depend on libpulse0 especially since a lot of people on Linux don't use Pulseaudio? I find that disturbing, even though I don't fully know why.
It's part of a "lock-in" on the way to a one-size-fits-all OS that will be nothing like what we have known and loved. Modularity will be a thing of the past. At least they'll try to do that. Resistance is not futile. There is always a way around the mousetrap.
