I bought it off a IT tech friend when he upgraded his life. ;-)

I am not satisfied with the sound, headphone socket broken.

But if I use my USB sound device the sound is good.

Mine also has a nVidia 750m graphics, but haven't got it working as far as I can remember it defaults to the intel ....

Congrats with the tube amp, I have an el84 18w marshal clone on the shelf waiting for me to get organised. I really love this stuff! :-)

I only use the laptop when travelling and when I have broken my main desktop system.

But the keyboard lights work as expected, dimming, full on and off. and it's quite fast, even for 10yo.

I have no secrets, just privacy issues from advertisers. (mostly to save on bandwidth)

I agree with Andre4freedom. I also get an error message that a service has no stop. But it does not affect the general operation of my 'stable' system.

I also use open-rc but with sddm with kde5/plasma.

I also turn off all services I do not want to start at boot, like mail, printing, brail and other accessibility apps, like speak and screen-readers..

The bleeding edge is exciting, I used to live there too.

I have an ASUS RJ552 touch-screen laptop. It came with win8 installed... I have no problems with everything working. fyi.

I bought it second-hand from a tech friend...

the only probs is battery life and the speakers sound off balance, and the headphone socket...

but works perfectly with my usb sound box.. Edirole UA-25EX.

This is just info... I'm running Daedalus on it as well as my desktop.

Hi, this is from the far-outside... but,

Have you considered installing a kernel that works and then getting the source and rebuilding a kernel just for your computer?

like make oldconfig...new kernel with old kernel settings.

There are quite a few different ways, but make old can be made to work, also make ...

here is a snippet of some notes I have... but I haven't had to compile my own kernel for a long time now. So your mileage may vary.

* Restart config...

"localmodconfig" make target. It does pretty much what you ask—it determines what modules you have running, and generates a .config making sure those modules are built. The 

"localyesconfig" target will compile those modules statically into the kernel rather than creating modules.

make
make modules
make install

You may look this up on the web. kernel.org comes to mind.

I learned all kinds of styles, but I'm a Rocker, but anything with guitar in it. Alice Cooper, Areosmith... plenty of Aussie bands too.

70's mostly the stuff I heard as a pre-teen... I eventually made my way back there.

I love Joe Satriani, when his tune "Always with you, Always with me" came on the radio I bought my first electric guitar (later upgraded to a new 1991 Fender American Standard Stratocaster), and I had a Laney L50R (?) amp in 1993. Now I can make stuff up to please myself, console myself, amaze listeners and try to setup my pc as a DAW. I hope you are all having a great weekend.

Thank you Golinux for your indulgences during these posts. I felt guilty cross-talking.

One more thing, not about the startup delay, I understand that.

I was also instructed to install orphan-sysvinit-scripts

package description info...

Orphaned System-V-like init scripts
 
This package provides System-V init scripts for packages whose maintainers
have chosen to drop them from the distribution in favour of only supplying
a systemd service file.

It will only put files into /etc/init.d/ when the relevant package is
installed on your system.

rc.local worked for me, but I can't remember what it was now I needed it for, the devuan system has evolved and matured.

<edit> it was for starting nftables.
the files will be at /usr/share/orphan-sysvinit-scripts/...</edit>

Hi, I'm trying to block any re-installation of accessibility (brail, screen readers and speech recognition...) packages, as well as printing, scanning and mail.

I will try the example above.

Hi, I install iwd like this... For my tethering to iPhone (as a modem...)

apt install iwd

sh /home/glenn/bin/sysd2v-0.3.sh /lib/systemd/system/iwd.service
#rsync -avh /home/glenn/local/other/backup/backup-etc-sys/etc/init.d/iwd.initd /etc/init.d/iwd.initd
rsync -avh /home/glenn/local/other/backup/backup-etc-sys/etc/init.d/iwd.initd /etc/init.d/
rsync -avh /home/glenn/local/other/backup/backup-etc-sys/etc/runlevels/iwd.initd /etc/runlevels/
rsync -avh /home/glenn/local/other/backup/backup-etc-sys/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/iwd.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/
chmod +x /lib/systemd/system/iwd.service
chmod +x /etc/init.d/iwd.initd
service iwd.initd start
update-rc.d iwd.initd defaults

# udev rules for iPhones
rm /lib/udev/rules.d/*-usbmuxd.rules # 85-(?)
rsync -avh /home/glenn/local/data/build/39-usbmuxd.rules /lib/udev/rules.d/
chmod -R 744 /lib/udev/rules.d/39-usbmuxd.rules
chown -Rh root:root /lib/udev/rules.d/39-usbmuxd.rules

As you can see I'm using backups to restore the files.

The sysd2v-0.3.sh script does most of the work. I got this from more experienced users than I.

If you search here for sysd2v script, you should be able to find it.

I hope this helps.

sysd2v-0.3.sh /etc/init.d/<file.name>

please see this post... for a conversion script.

beware of the start and stop levels after converting to suit your situation.

I haven't tested on wireguard... but I have had success with others.

all the best.

I also use openrc.

It works, try it.

first impact I thought of it Gaming apps like Steam rely on 32bit arch.
