su -c - root mousepad returned the same error (Mousepad-CRITICAL...

I noticed on my Beowulf system I get a similar "error"
I'm logged on user "a" (with very few permissions), on the same system
exists user "b" (in sudo group).
When I run pkexec --user root mousepad (for example), it prompts for

If I remove user "b" from sudo group, the above example will prompt for
root

Indeed, postfix uses the system logging daemon (which is why mail.log

Somehow, you are still on "testing" instead of "stable" ...
Use "apt update" instead of "apt-get update" ... apt will prompt for you

I recently upgraded to AMD Ryzen. I'm running Devuan ascii.
With the 4.9.x kernel, I didn't have sensor readings (X570 chipset); I
upgraded to 5.4 to get those. Other than that, it seemed to run fine
under 4.9.
I haven't yet experienced the "linux ryzen crash" -- no system freezes
at all.
I have no idea whether it will help your particular problem, but I can
report that I've successfully built and run run 5.4 on ascii (if that
was a question).
