On the "always last update": My motto and sig on emails is:
"While some hold that perfection is the enemy of the good,
I've found that it is only in its pursuit that one avoids the mediocre."

Take care, Larry

this will be the last update until Devuan 4.0 is released

Dang it, it just felt wrong to leave it as it is with that bug and a syntax error in .xinitrc
New ISO is uploaded, nothing groundbraking, just some minor fixes

A friend of mine is replacing his crashed Linux Mint with Michaels Devuan
Thanks again.

It comes with a ton of changes, just to name a few here:

• jack server is working correctly again

• added new update system for scripts

• changed the menu system

• emacs + exwm

• basic bashrc for those who prefer bash

• fixed some file permissions

• fixed typos and broken links

• new yad scripts

• slightly improved installer

• added more apt mirrors

• and much more...

check the Readme.txt if you want to want to change the update command or disable the menu

i know i said this before, but this time for real
this will be the last update until Devuan 4.0 is released

Just a note on palemoon in jwm menu: It was still calling from ~/.local/src not from ~/.local/opt/ as it should now.

update_all worked great.

The update from the Welcome menu is a nice touch as well.

Thanks as always,
Larry

Edit:
here is the new link to the Video

-A OUTPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 631 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

in /etc/iptables.conf & then as Michael said:

sudo iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.conf

It works nicely for an inexpensive Brother MFC-J775DW color inkjet plugged into my router via ipp://192.168.xx.xx/ipp/port1
Your particular set up will determine the correct address.

With that done, this is now my  main distro and am changing the default grub boot to reflect it.
Thanks again!!

I set the defaul policy to drop anything and only allow the stuff that is in /etc/iptables.conf
In case something is not working for you, you could switch DROP to ACCEPT or just specify the ports you want below
and then reboot or run:

sudo iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.conf

The reason dorsrc.org is not giving you the nvidia drivers is because i forgot to add 'non-free' at the end of the line for that one.

fau.de is actually not the default repo for devuan, but i chose it because it is the best here in germany.
I should have added more mirrors to /etc/apt/sources.list
I just added that to my list for the next release.

You can run 'devuan-mirrorlist' (alias for curl http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt) to see all devuan mirrors.
I just tried a few but it looks like the US mirrors are currently not active so i dont know which would be the best for you

http://dev.beard.ly/devuan/merged 

works, but sadly its only http
i guess berkeley.edu would be the best but it says: Active:  New mirror, coming soon.
maybe that will work soon

Happy Hacking

For claws-mail users with a Fastmail email account to get around the built in firewall, use:
imaps-proxy.fastmail.com  port 25
smtps-proxy.fastmail.com port 443
Other ports might work but NOT 993, 587, or 465 ... for obvious reasons.

And should anyone have an old NVIDIA video card needing nvidia-legacy-340xx driver, don't fall for the faster speed of the dotsrc.org (Denmark) repository.  Stick to the default ftp.fau.de (Germany) repository.
dotsrc.org doesn't have the old nvidia-legacy drivers!
Admittedly the 75Hz that the proprietary driver gives you over the 60Hz that the nouveau delivers may not be important to everyone.

Take care,
Larry

Too many items get skipped by by-passing the menu, e.g., $TERMINAL. So I don't do that anymore.

#[ "$(pidof Xorg)" ] || main_menu
[ "$(pidof Xorg)" ] || { export WM="jwm" && startx;}

this should do the trick in case you dont want the menu

oh i haven't noticed this before
since you dont use bspwm you can just delete that file
it is only for zsh completions for that bspc command anyways so its not really needed

btw i found the solution for the login problem with palemoon
either click on the eclipsed moon icon in the bottom bar so it becomes red or remove that addon completely
