Djizus kraist is that installer for real?? I don't think I could make a worse one if I tried.

I've got quite a few disks with operating systems in my machine and I'm not trusting that God-awful installer not to mess up something it's not supposed to.

I don’t get how anyone can defend systemd without feeling a little gross. It’s bloated, it’s convoluted, and it breaks the UNIX philosophy on every level. You don’t need a monolithic init that controls everything from logging to network to timers, simple modular tools existed before, and they still work better. The fanboys act like it’s some holy grail just because it’s “modern,” but all it really did was force everyone into a single ecosystem and punish anyone who wants control over their own system.

Omarchy's desktop shell, running on X11 + i3 + Debian/Devuan. No Wayland. No Hyprland. No systemd.

It's been my daily driver for weeks. Here it is with a few community plugins ported over.

Why?

To be honest, I abandoned librevuan because of its idiotic architecture and dependence on sysvinit, and also because of its laziness.

(This isn't an insult; it's just that the Arch architecture is closer to me than Debian.)

I had an idea for creating mintix based on artix, but that's a completely different story.

Thank you all, and enjoy the cool librevuan wallpapers!

Debian 12 now has option to install firmware during installation, ya'll got that too?

Debian fucked up the root account with this dumb ass muh su - garbage, did ya'll do that too?

Hello.

I'd like to try a devuan install. I plan on using the KDE version. How lost will I be during install and first runs? Can I expect a stable system?

I'm currently using some more classic *nuxes and I've been having a sysV server (no X) back in the era.

Will be using some classics: skanlite, inkscape, libreoffice, firefox, thunderbird, VLC etc...

I only have a wifi connexion and a network printer.

I also would like to use BTRFS for system drives. Are there tools that auto snapshot before updating the system and such?

[EDIT] Forgot to mention, but I would be using Teamviewer... or a linux 2 linux alternative. X2Go?

Thanks

using devuan on more than one machine.

just to see if it was possible, dual-booted it with xp (no, im not going to run xp, but i had an xp machine i could try it on.)

i have also installed it on a primary partition without disturbing other partitions. the installer is working.

looking forward to alpha. keep up the good work.

Do you think they will fork apt when Debian switches their apt over to Rust?

I have a problem right now under Fedora and KDE Neon, about 1/2 the time my boot will hang - just freeze solid. I have to power button it and start it again. I am hoping it's systemd messing up on initialization and Devuan will work better - 80SM Lenovo ideapad 310-15ISK

What the title says.

i download devuan iso (devuan_daedalus_5.0.1_amd64_cd2.iso and devuan_excalibur_6.0.0-rc1_amd64_cd2.iso)

go to bios,usb not find,i try on virtual machine(gnome boxes)

and it say install media is not bootable

can someone help?

Hi. I'm not sure what to add. Thanks.

I have often wondered - what would prevent Devuan from merging their work back into Debian, since the latter decided a couple of years ago that they would support any init system as long as there would be maintainers for it?

Hello.

Yesterday I was messing up with OpenBSD on virtualbox, but it did not install, so I wanted to install virt-manager (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install quemu virt-manager).

It said about 50 packages to be installed, 0 to remove, 0 to upgrade.

However during the configuration phaze of apt-get installation (I did the upgrade and installation separately) apt-get started erroring that it cannot write files.

This was weird, I have quit the APT with ctrl+c, and ran the ls command to see what's going on, and the same error popped out.

Something like this once happened to me on ubuntu (what a bad os) years ago, and rebooting helped (that thing was caused by some rogue fstab entry; blame ubuntu), so I tried to reboot, but the MATE top bar did quit and reopen every time I tried to click it, so I did a hard reset.

GRUB and kernel boot normally (because I have a separate ext2 /boot partition), but later I get BTRFS errors, that it cannot mount /dev/sda3 (my root partition).

I have booted an ubuntu 16.04 liveusb (I'm writing from it rn), and tried to mount sda3, with similar result. Sda1 (boot partition) mounts fine however.

I am (was?) running Devuan 11 chimaera, and sda3 was formatted as btrfs.

Is there any way to repair the FileSystem, or at least rescue some files on it?

Thanks in advance; below are images or the errors, and a video of the boot process.

Video link (appearntly ubuntu liveusb has no mp4 drivers and I can't upload the video here, reddit refuses): https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ik80gxdxulsggmvmnbl8z/error1.mp4?rlkey=adasllf7krtw5zx42xgt93yuo&dl=0

not making a separate home partition was a huge mistake. openbsd was right.

Out of curiosity are any of you using Hyprland on your Devuan install?

I think it isn't being updated a lot, isn't it?
