#3 Re: Forum Feedback » FluxBB » 2025-10-17 17:41:29
There was a lot of work, mostly upgrades, done last night on the forum. This is a post to check if it is working!
EDIT: There were a few glitches but everything seems to be running smoothly now. Please report any irregularities if they pop up. Keeping fingers crossed . . .

Regarding the themes . . . all the themes to date were my doing but I have "retired" and no one has stepped up to provide them going forward. I suspect that the previous themes will not work properly with Excalibur and beyond and not a chance that I will ever go down that rabbit hole again.
Make sure that you have the last published version from here but it may no longer be viable and was only tested for the default Xfce desktop:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documenta … t/graphics
If you are adventurous, I left notes how to theme Devuan here but that is also likely outdated:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documenta … -devuan.md
Note that I am still on Chimaera and dreading when it will no longer be viable.
Hope you can find a fix!

Eeqmcsq (and other complainers) . . . You are always very welcome to provide a better option if you doubt those who are taking action to fix it.

There has been some action on slim in the last few days
<devuanci> Starting build pdns-recursor (unstable:arm64) for job devuan-package-builder (previous build: STILL UNSTABLE -- last SUCCESS slim_1.4.1-1devuan1+excalibur1 (excalibur-proposed-updates) 1 day 0 hr ago)

It should be ready for Excalibut release when that finally happens.

No crystal ball here but . . . nothing lasts forever.
It is painfully obvious that our species is devolving, increasingly incompetent and with brains that are not functioning properly. Few under 60 are capable of doing the required tasks and those of us who gave so much are burned out and feeling the weight of our years.
This is the story of human history . . .

Dropping here for pdbq's enlightenment . . . a graphic of the Debian packages that are banned in Devuan:
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/log/unstable-banned.svg
This is the text version:
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt
It is a bit like the green slime . . . it just keeps growing . . .

What the heck is zoom?
Note to OP . . .
Code tags are easier to read.

#15 Re: Off-topic » Critical security flaw in sudo » 2025-10-08 19:16:22
Great, I don't even use sudo and it's STILL a security risk.
Me too . . . 
#16 Re: Devuan » Excalibur Release Date » 2025-10-08 14:46:10
As always, it will be officially released "when it's ready".
#17 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » noCSD for GTK4 » 2025-10-07 17:40:56
@greenjeans . . . That's great news!
/me breathes a sigh of relief that Xfce might still be usable by the time I get to the GTK4 cluster**** . . .

Well done alihassan1989!
#19 Re: Off-topic » When installing a system, do you manually partition first? » 2025-10-06 17:49:54
I don't do an installation often but when I do I start with creating the partitions with gparted. Still on bios and spinning rust here.
#20 Re: News & Announcements » How you can help Devuan » 2025-10-05 21:45:59
The only information of which I am aware is on the Download page at https://www.devuan.org/get-devuan . . .

Is seeding torrent consider as a contribution?
Of course. Why do you you ask?

Do you have apulse installed? That was the magic - at least 10 years ago - to get rid of pulseaudio. Seems it is still in the repos:
#24 Re: Documentation » [HowTo] MATE Desktop: Change the Applications icon to the Devuan icon » 2025-09-23 01:59:23
No!
Excalibur will likely have a different icon file, right?
Sadly, no. I was completely burned out (and 10 years older and working my way to 90) after doing all the previous themes and no one else with the time or talent to do it properly offered to take over.
PS. I did name the Excalibur theme "Death Metal" and created a proposed desktop BG but that's as far as it got.
#25 Re: Documentation » [HowTo] MATE Desktop: Change the Applications icon to the Devuan icon » 2025-09-23 00:31:46
Eeqmcsq . . . Are you aware that there are other sets of icons and themes for all the past Devuan releases? The themes might not work with the new GTK "improvements" but the icons should be OK.
