Unfortunately, when I go back to kernel 3.16.0-4-am64, my X system
hung. No MNI hang (in the short time I was running the 3.16.0
kernel), but some application I start in .fluxbox/startup is being

I'll have to put off dealing with
on, and is it likely to be in
the upcoming non-beta Jessie Devuan?
I hear complaints that there insufficient work being put into the Devuan
project. Is there a crisis because of lack of volunteers? Is it likely
that a non-beta Devuan Jessie will make the light of day in first half

the new machine.
It took three attempts to get an association, a key exchange.
I'm simply reporting that association can be difficult with ascii.

I've run into trouble with it. In installation options for sdc, I did
ask to have a MBR installed.
Why does an installation on one disk care about what happens to be on

Yes. In the past I've always had multiple hard drives in one machine,
each with an opera
stall 'elogind' and 'libpam-elogind', and then use
either 'startx' or 'xinit' as usual from a regular user account."

Has an alternative been developed without the problems associated with
usbmount?
