No but it's just a python script so you can fudge an "installation" with

mkdir -p ~/git && cd ~/git
git clone https://github.com/pixelb/ps_mem
mkdir ~/bin
cp ps_mem/ps_mem.py ~/bin/ps-mem
chmod +x ~/bin/ps-mem

^ That assumes the git package is installed and that ~/bin is listed in $PATH (or add it to /usr/local/bin/ for system-wide access).

Once it's all set up just call the script to run it:

ps-mem

Alternatively just run the script directly from the git repository without copying it:

cd ~/git/ps_mem
./ps_mem.py

Are you sure about that? The wicd package is not installable in sid (or ceres) because the python-gobject2 dependency is no longer available.

And please show us actual error messages rather than vague descriptions, it's less confusing for us and less effort for you.

The python3 version is already available in Debian's experimental repositories:

https://packages.debian.org/experimental/wicd

The OP could try using that, the experimental repositories have a pin value of 1 (one) by default so it should be "safe" to add them to a Devuan system.

Just because they start PA does not necessarily mean that they need PA — firefox-esr will also auto-start PA but it will still produce sound if PA is not installed.

But I've never used Skype so I have no idea if it will work without PA, why don't you try it and report back?

I like to use ps_mem to analyse per-application memory usage.

Unlikely, systemd (not "SystemD" btw) is a total memory hog but it only consumes a few MiB more than sysvinit.

Have you tried Debian with something like dwm? The desktop environment will make much more difference in respect of RAM usage.

Did you also upgrade the kernel? Here's the metapackage you need: https://pkginfo.devuan.org/stage/beowul … o10+1.html

For early KMS support add this line to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules:

amdgpu

Then rebuild the initramfs again:

# update-initramfs -u -k all

Probably better to use the supplied abstraction mechanism to modify /etc/default/locale:

# dpkg-reconfigure locales

Devuan isn't really aimed at n00bs, perhaps try one of the derivatives instead.

Or you could try installing the Mint .deb package:

http://packages.linuxmint.com/pool/main/m/mintlocale/

See https://support.digium.com/s/article/Ho … g-problems & https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/fb/fbcon.html but I think a better solution would be to set a bigger console font:

# apt install console-setup
# dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

Why? If it's that important to you then install GRUB from an Arch live ISO (use the --boot-directory= & --efi-directory= options to avoid the need to chroot).

I can't find a reference in the changlelog but I presume $ESP/EFI/debian is being created because of https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=925309

My instructions were non-UEFI specific and if you have a GPT disk then you almost certainly had a UEFI system so you should have used

# apt update
# apt install grub-efi-amd64 # or grub-efi-ia32 for 32-bit UEFI implementations
# mount /dev/sdXY /mnt
# mkdir /efi
# mount /dev/sdXZ /efi
# grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/efi --boot-directory=/mnt/boot
# umount /efi
# rmdir /efi
# reboot

Replace X with the drive letter, replace Y with the root partition number (or the /boot partition if that is separate, in which case omit /boot from the --boot-directory switch) and replace Z with the number for the EFI system partition.

I use sectors 34-2047 for BIOS boot partitions, that space should be free in a correctly-aligned disk.

The i386-pc bit refers to the non-UEFI bootloader rather than the system architecture.

Yes there is, it's clearly listed in your posted output.

Your actual problem is that your Steam games don't work so please change the thread title to accurately reflect the situation rather than state your opinion of the cause.

Have you seen https://wiki.debian.org/Steam#Steam_runtime_issues?

We had a similar thread over at fdn but in that one vulkaninfo(1) couldn't find the 64-bit libraries: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=142110
