The tdenetworkmanager now will not permit me to deactivate my connection, but
defiantly autoconnects. I went into the settings and disabled the
autoconnect, yet it still reappears. When I went into the xfce desktop (which
I never use, except for troubleshooting, such as times like this, I got a
message that said that I was not authorized to change network connections.

Please check that you are in group "netdev" and "dialout"
- the second is for anything /de/ttyUSB... /dev/ttyACM...
I feel like I am losing my mind. I have not changed
anything in my basic
settings or installation patterns in *years*. And I mean, years and years and
years. I've been doing it exactly like this since about 2012 or so, when I
first changed over from the old KDE3 desktop (on Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04) to
the earliest versions of the TDE desktop, once I figured out how to get it
working. I've done it like this through Kubuntu, Debian, and now Devuan. If
something major has changed which is affecting all these different
applications, I have not seen anything in the tech news and gossip.
I had to do a
full reinstall when I went to IMO chimera. A pullover of my old system (intel) to my new
one (amd ryzen) did not work as it should. I had to redo my tweaks and go through all my
TDE stuff to get things up and running again.
Just a sidenote: don't you have a leftover laptop you can use as a
fallback/backupsystem? Though I usally jump into cold water, too, I always have at least
one laptop in sync with my data just to make sure I won't get bitten too hard. And to
have a system from where I can ssh into the patient and take a close look at the logfiles
etc. to see waht's going on.
Furthermore, as I said earlier, my new keyboard/mouse
combon will not work at
all with TDE's Secure Attention Key, so it looks like I will be returning it
to exchange for something that is explicitly made to work with a Linux
system.
Disable SAK. This never worked on my system, too.

Please, if anybody has even a clue what's going
on, say something, as I am
lost here.
Bill
