(18 years old, but very nice looking on the outside). I didn’t search the forum, because it has beeen a _random discovery_ while trying several light GNU/Linux distributions in order to attempt to revive a very old laptop.

Can someone explain me how to do the pinnning the right way? I would like some help with that, because “hold” never holds very well as far as I could see last time, especially from one install to the next snapshot. I have never practices much the pinning method. Then I restored the antiX repos, commented out the Devuan repos and marked the packages on hold, in Synaptic and in the console. Then I removed the antiX package libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0 and installed libpolkit-backend-elogind-1-0 which then came nicely with the right matching versions of itself plus libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0 from the *Devuan repos*. Then I thought well there is a bunch of sources in /etc/apt/ why not adding one more? So I added “deb beowulf main” in a “devuan.list” file, added the signatures from here : then I commented out the antiX repos and did an apt update. I tried several ways removing one plus depends, trying to switch to another repos, but couldn’t make it, so I restored the repos and reinstalled modemmanager and it’s depends. I could do everything but one : no way to get libpolkit-backend-elogind-1-0, because it needed a libpolkit-gobject-elogind-1-0 with the same number version as his, and that would not happen. This is the method to have lightdm play nice in a non systemd distribution: Then I met with the same issue as previously but this time I used a method presented by a Devuan user. I took a antiX Base 64bits and first, installed lightdm and lightdm-gtk-greeter. So I solved it installing systemd, which in turn came with other issues such as some related libs which I had to mark on hold, else, an update would have removed most of the packages from the distro. Some time ago I struggled with that, because I wanted to use lightdm, and lightdm would not play well with the session, which could not be rebooted/shutdown and so on. The same way I have been able to make a snapshot with Openbox in antiX i486, I wanted to do the same with a x86_64 version.
