Hi David,

Thanks a lot for the advice. I didn't kow at all you could use emacs,
and Im gonna look into it and check vi as well as I use it quite a lot.

Actually if you stay with Dbus, you won't meet those pitfalls I think.

Just I chose to try the full howto version, proposed by devuanfanboy;
ie. to get rid of systemd, of course,
but also getting rid of Dbus as I like simplicity as well.

System is working perfectly and I installed it on a ProLiant DL320 G5p
as well. Both are working perfectly.

One thing which is not directly related but you might bump into when
Devuan-ing your system is keyboard layout.
I have a Japanese keyboard layout and I couldn't find which was the
proper keyboard to be set after upgrading
(everything got reversed to default I guess).

I mean Japanese keyboards seem to be IBM-M type(wikipedia) and they have
103 keys for generic ones(I actually counted mine).
The app to choose your keyboard in De* does not have a choice for
103keys.

Im not sure what is related or not but the steps which worked for
me(it's a laptop with an annoying number pad on the right, a stupidly
small shift key on the right but a nice ctrl key down/completely left)
were:
1/[dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration] and set to pc101 generic
(actually I doubt this had any effect)
2/[vi /etc/default/keyboard] w/ the following settings :
# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

  XKBMODEL="pc103"   <---
  XKBLAYOUT="jp"     <---
  XKBVARIANT=""
  XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"


BACKSPACE="guess"
3/[udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change]
4/[vi /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf] where I changed
KEYMAP=n to KEYMAP=y
5/[update-initramfs -u]


Thanks.
