@Ron: you shouldn't use sudo to download stuff into your home directory. If you didn't use sudo with wget then you wouldn't need to use it with chmod either. Never use elevated privileges unless you have to.
See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle … _privilege
I understand and agree with the principle of the link, but that is how it is listed on the websites, and that's how I did it. I never had a problem using either of them.

Hi MiyoLinux, I responded to your email.
#204 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2022-01-06 02:03:07
I was using the Miyo version based on the unstable . . . I had a good two month run with no troubles until this. I decided this morning to switch to Miyo Modern.
MiyoLinux, is there a version based on Devuan 4? I thought that was what I was getting but this is based on 3.
#205 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2022-01-05 02:05:43
I need some help. After today's updates, my computer won't boot up anymore, so I'm thinking one of the updates is causing this. When I boot up, I can see the wall of text that I usually do, but the log in screen doesn't appear. All I get is a blinking cursor in the extreme upper left hand corner, nothing else. Typing does nothing, and neither does moving the mouse. How to fix this?
#206 Re: Installation » alternatives to Mozilla's and Chomethings » 2021-12-30 01:05:17
The problem is Gooble is a monopoly and the U.S. government is doing nothing about it. Since Gooble is a monopoly, they dictate web standards (which of course they incorporate into their browser), and it's always a catch-up game for browsers not based on the same engine. Add in the fact of lazy web developers, and you have the mess of an internet we have today.
I'd suggest Pale Moon, but there will be a handful of sites that don't render properly on it, because of the 2 issues above. (For those, I hold my nose and use Vivaldi.)

Is policykit installed?
Answered above. Is there a reason why you asked?

Is policykit installed?
Yes, policykit-1 and policykit-1-gnome are installed.

It shuts down immediately when I click that button (if you don't do anything, then it shuts down after 60 seconds). But that, of course, requires two clicks of the mouse, clicking the original button in the panel, then the button in that popup window. I prefer just one click, which is why I asked. I agree with your feelings about that dialog box. 
Thanks again for filling me in on how to get rid of it.
#210 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2021-12-05 04:12:53
Question: Is this the same command that runs when I click Shut Down in the window screenshot I posted?
#211 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2021-12-05 04:05:49
Thanks. Taking your command, I created a new "Custom Application Launcher" in the panel (right click in the panel and select Add to Panel), and in the Name box put in "Shut Down the computer" and in the Command box I put in your command "loginctl poweroff". It works. Thanks again.
#212 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2021-12-05 01:49:22
This is a pretty generic question, so I'm not sure I should put it here, but here it is anyway. When I click on the Shutdown button, I get the window below with the choices "Restart" or "Cancel" or "Shut Down." Is there a way I can put a shortcut on the panel to just simply shut down the computer without being asked this?
#213 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2021-11-26 16:42:32
Thanks MiyoLinux, it was the second one that I am familiar with.
Something about the Deepin startup sound is like fingernails on a chalk board.
#214 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2021-11-25 21:15:26
Hi MiyoLinux, your ascii release of Miyo had a startup 'song' included, which is not in Miyo based on ceres. Do you still have the file of that? Right now I'm being sacrilegious and using the Windows XP startup sound.

I was able to test my two internal drives (they both passed), but I'm getting an error message trying to test the portable drive:
sudo smartctl -d ata -H /dev/sdc

Okay, I'm not sure if this was right, but I changed ata in the command to scsi, and that came back like this. On the internal drives it reads PASSED, but with this it reads OK. Did I do it right?

Thanks to all, especially Altoid.
#218 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Problems with a Seagate portable drive » 2021-11-23 14:04:50
I would strongly recommend a SMART test on that device.
Noted. I would need to download smart-notifier for that, right? I'm guessing its use would be self-explanatory.
Thanks for all your help.

So I updated my system via Synaptic, and after applying the changes this error message popped up. Is it anything to worry about? I rebooted the computer and it booted just fine, and is using the newest kernel.
#225 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Problems with a Seagate portable drive » 2021-11-19 18:56:39
That seems to have fixed it. Thanks hevidevi.
I'm going to wait a day or two before marking it as solved.
