[DNG] Plasma with Wayland requiring systemd-localed?
Hi!
Anyone ever tried Plasma with Wayland on Devuan?
.local/share/sddm# less wayland-session.log
not a reply org.freedesktop.locale1 QDBusMessage(type=Error,
service="org.freedesktop.DBus", error
name="org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown", error message="The
name org.freedesktop.locale1 was not provided by any .service files",
signature="s", contents=("The name org.freedesktop.locale1 was not
provided by any .service files") )
"kwin_wayland_wrapper" ("--xwayland", "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
libexec/startplasma-waylandsession") exited with code 255
Note: I did use Plasma from Debian Experimental tough… In case there is
an Devuan Experimental with the same meaning, I can use that of course.
Using Plasma X11 session for now, which works just fine under Devuan with
Runit as PID 1.
I am willing to report with to upstream. So far, Plasma was always
usable with whatever init system.
Best,

[DNG] Debian/Buster-to-Devuan/Beowulf : Version 1
Hello,
The following instructions is the first version of how to migrate from
Debian/Buster to Devuan/Beowulf. This description is a complement to
the description at:
https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/en/buster-to-beowulf
which is known to not work any longer.
Note that this description does use a fixed network interface. For
wireless connections additional tips should be made.
The following text file describes the procedure:
(replacing Debian's gnome desktop (default) with Devuan's mate)
# Choose your editor
apt-get install emacs
Seems like task-gnome-desktop is installed :(
apt-get install sysvinit-core
Reading package lists... Done

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer
required: ...
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
