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.

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=4865

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.

I get a warning an update is available, then I download it and install firefox (non-esr)

I got it from here to begin, then I just use the update function with firefox.

https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/ 

Anything with a 'b' in the version is beta... and may be unstable.

here is my proceedure...

cd /home/glenn/Downloads

wget https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/121.0/linux-x86_64/en-GB/firefox-121.0.1.tar.bz2

mv /home/glenn/Downloads/firefox-121.0.1.tar.bz2 /home/glenn/local/archive/source/

# archived :  /home/glenn/local/archive/source/firefox-121.0.1.tar.bz2

cd /opt

tar xfj /home/glenn/local/archive/source/firefox-121.0.1.tar.bz2

# remove the old firefox links

mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefoxold

# or after backup of bookmarks and passwordz

# apt remove firefox-esr

# create new link

ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox

I hope this helps.

Hi,if you have more than one OS, using Legacy mode may be problematic.

When I choose an .iso image I try to make sure it boots in legacy-mode at least.

When installing, some installers see UEFI or Legacy boot and setup grub for that purpose.

I have used PcLinux for many years (Mandriva before that),and I think it can also do both types (they have a pretty good installer program, imo).

Then I use an "unsigned" linux-image as soon as possible (apt update and upgrade same ver).

The other nag, is the other OS's change the system time... and that screws up all the other OS's updates... timestamps.

I try to keep it simple. (I stayed with lilo boot-loader until it was no longer a viable install choice)

If win7 is non-uefi you're ahead.

It's handy to have fastboot off until you get it sorted... but secureboot=off and CSM=on (Legacy Boot)

I use GPT partitioning and seems to me, independent of Boot-Loader, mbr is old and insecure. And a lot easier to edit.

My 2c. I hope you get it sorted. :-)

Hi, you can make the changes to /etc/asound.conf, by using
~/.asoundrc

defaults.ctl.card 0
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.timer.card 0

use your researched values...

~/.asoundrc has precedence over /etc/asound.conf

I use this to Not use hdmi (desktop-tower, not laptop)... I've sure it works both ways.

When I last did a clean install of Daedalus, last week I found I needed to install seatd

(I use sddm (X as root), and Plasma).

But upgrading from Chimaera did not have the same fault.
