@zapper, I'm rewriting and redesigning simple-netaid from scratch in Gtk and GObject (it was written in Gtkmm). So, yes, I am working on excalibur, but I still cannot provide specific release dates.

Btw,  a few days ago I received an email from the FSF applauding my efforts to work on a fully free GNU/Linux distro and asking whether I am interested in complying with the FSDG. Firstly however, they have to make sure there are no misunderstandings about the relationship between this project, the GNU project, and the FSF. I should certainly inform the public that the distribution contains GNU programs, such as by referring to it as a GNU/Linux distribution, but not in ways that are confusing. The use of the term GNU in an old distribution from the autonomous community of Extremadura in Spain (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/GnuLinEx) made me to naively believe that it was possible to use it in the name itself, but I was mistaken because it implies being part of the GNU project. Hence, they kindly requested me to change the name of the distro. It makes sense. They hold their trademarks to prevent the said confusion. I recently informed them that I have almost decided on the new name, and they thanked me for being so cooperative.

@greenjeans, the only backport was xorgproto available in the same repository:

http://packages.gnuinos.org/xlibre/pool … /xorgproto

New live images with XLibre:

https://www.gnuinos.org/mirror/daedalus/runit
https://www.gnuinos.org/mirror/daedalus/sysvinit

Thanks, prospero, the LVM partitioning without encryption worked for me as well. I will try to fix the issue with LVM encryption as soon as possible.

Thanks prospero, recently I fixed a bug related to the creation of symlinks at /dev/disk, as explained in the DNG mailing list:

[DNG] vdev available for devuan

As for lxdm, I chosed it because it allows me to run a script that customizes the active plugins in xfce4-panel. I tried the same with other display managers, but I didn't succed.

gnuinos live images contain the package nodm; and the removal of nodm during the preseed phase of the gnuinos-installer may lead to this matter

@golinux: the letter "C" doesn't exist. It would be Eskalibur

So, the issue related to the 32bit installer happens with your refracta snapshot of gnuinos?

I'm building Gtk3 without dbus by defining a variable that allows to enable/disable the atk-bridge part at build time.
This variable is used in the file `gtk/a11y/accesibility.c` as a preprocessor directive. For example:

#ifdef HAVE_ATK_BRIDGE
#include <atk-bridge.h>
#endif

In doing so, it's possible to remove dbus from Gtk3. Gtk2 doesn't depend on it.
As for luks2..., no answer yet

Live sessions in qemu take too long at me as well. However, I don't think that the start-up messages you are showing are the culprit. Runit run scripts exit if dependencies are not satisfied (i.e. if a service starts before another service the earlier depends on) throwing such messages and retrying afterwards until it succeeds. But I need further testing, of course. Thanks!

Keeping the gui updated in real-time according to the current values given by the alsa backend without thereby freezing the interface wasn't that easy for me when I developed the amixer-gtk. Didn't you push the source to any git repository yet?

It looks nice. Which toolkit are you using?
