Nothing was removed, Devuan Daedalus installers won't boot from Ventoy. Period. Known fact, please search the forum. ISOs up to Chimaera and Excalibur again do work.

Its not the fault of Cinnamon nor a systemd influence. The package gnome-system-tools* is broken, and this for at least 4 years already. Don't try to use the gui, you can easily make it work on the console.
To be installed: ntpsec, ntpsec-ntpdate and ntpsec-ntpdig. Configuration in /etc/ntpsec/ntp.conf.

* gnome-system-tools is a Debian package w/o systemd dependency. The maintainer got lost somewhere in the Ukrainian planes, and there seems to be no replacement.

You have to make sure that you just copy the relevant command which is [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS, not the leading prompt and not any response. The later leads to that bash: UEFI: command not found.

Don't know. I wouldn't dare to guarantee anything. Anyhow, on one hand it should not hurt. Give it a try.

My advice: when you go and modify any setting in the bios or in your sw, take notes you can later refer to. Makes life easier in the long run.

Another thing I would try: reset this autologin to normal login with username/password until the blank screen is solved. Removes an additional variable.

Hi Robin, according what you just showed it looks like you switched your PC from efi mode to legacy mode at 2026-05-09 10:59:46. The update is a consequence of that.

greenjeans thought its the other way round.

In any case, looks like you played around in the bios without understanding what you did. As a matter of fact, in efi mode Secure Boot can be on (=often called Windows OS) or off (Other OS or similar). It is better to turn it off since there is no real benefit in having it enabled. In legacy mode with CSM on, SB is automagically disabled.

On the other hand, just switching from efi to legacy should not at all affect the graphics, except for whatever reason?

Maybe its a good idea to show us details about what we are talking about. Please show us the result from

inxi -Fzr

from prompt to prompt in code tags please. It is possible that you have too install inxi first of all.

And in addition, the result from

[ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS 

Do also set on hold: linux-headers-amd64 linux-image-amd64

welcome to Devuan.

I am nowadays on the default: sysvinit. I have tried openrc too, but I did not see any advantages. My current PC system is about 5 years old, so fast enough.

As an original Gnome2 user 10-15 years ago, I have initially used Mate for a while, but have switched to Cinnamon now. I never could make friends with Gnome3 and later, also neither XFCE nor KDE is one of my favorites. I have tried xlibre with Excalibur in a VM, looks good there, but daily driver still is X11.

ext4 is a rockstable file system most people use. btrfs is the same as in Debian. I my eyes only recommended for the very experienced user. Has a small user base.

Anyhow: Devuan is Debian w/o systemd. There have been some threads lately going a bit more into detail. If you are interested, use the forum search.

Have a look:

I have some notes (unfortunately in German) what I did on modifications on my PC.

My first reaction was: that lib is outdated.

Then I had a look at my Excalibur. There I got listed libfuse2/now 2.9.9-6+b1 amd64 which is installed locally, and libfuse2t64/stable 2.9.9-9 amd64 which isn't installed. Haven't digged any deeper. Don't know why/how libfuse2 was installed, can't remember any special operation.

libfuse2 is from bookworm, libfuse2t64 is from Trixie, there is nothing in Forky/Freia.

You could try libfuse2t64. But I think you need to download it from Trixie/Excalibur and then install it locally. Same is vald for libfuse2 from Bootkworm/Daedalus.

Update: some search revealed that libfuse2 was installed because of Veracrypt.

Looks like you had network, but you must have denied using a mirror.

BTW: Debian and Devuan installers are similar but not identical. I am always doing an offline install w/o network and mirror, setting that up is the first step after a sucessful reboot for me.

This line remains listed in the sources.list when there is no network connection during installation, or if you do deny the question for a sever mirror connection. The installer assumes an offline installation and leaves the cdrom line.

Segmentation fault

This is the problem. Reason?

Every sort of main stream browser does that if configured to do so, but only for web pages.

I have some passwords saved in FF, but the relevant ones are not stored in FF but in a password manager I do use for many years now.
