^ I stand corrected. Just checked sledjhamr - and yes, it's way faster than gnlug.

Tux in this case geography absolutely matters, in the midwest US gnlug is blazing fast, in Europe and Asia not so much as i've seen people from those areas post that they had to switch because the effective rate on their end was way too slow.
I'm located in Europe (NL) and switched to gnlug over a year ago. Sofar it's been the fastest mirror, no lagging - and never failed on my system

Thanks for necro-posting @boughtonp remarks. This cleared the first of two systemd warnings in my ~/.xsession-errors file.
A second warning is triggered by similar argument in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90qt-a11y. Removing same cleared the second warning.

Must be a server sync issue; the bookworm-backports version is already available in the daedalus-backports repo here:
$ apt policy samba

^ thanks @greenjeans
Current setup was initially built on the excellent (and extremely minimal) Fluxuan 5.0.6 release. By now, after many changes and additions, I'd prefer to call it a Devuan setup. Fluxuan as hostname still remains...
As for the icons: pcmanfm showing gray-recolored Papirus/Papirus-Dark icon theme.
The dock icons were extracted/reworked from an old (2010?) CrunchBang-Faenza icon theme. The original package regrettably got lost over time; I can share a set of some 80+ application icons in 96px png format, if you like.

What I had read about (if I undestood it correctly) was a script you could download and run on an basic Debian installation.
ie: one without a DE/WM, after the installation was finished and everything else was running as expected.
Like a netinstall script, right? Bunsenlabs offers a netinstall script : https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-netinstall
#8 Re: Other Issues » Preliminary excalibur desktop-live isos need testing » 2025-04-04 14:32:30
If someone wants to figure out why the desktop background is getting clobbered by the default xfce bg, I would be happy to accept additional changes to the package.
Same issue came up in the MX forum at the time that Xfce was upgraded to v/4.20 : https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=83423
I ran the suggested xfconf-query command in a excalibur test install, which solved the unwanted default-xfce background overlay
xfconf-query -c xfce4-desktop -p /backdrop/single-workspace-number -s 1 -t int --create#9 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Pcmanfm offers free appimages of krita 5.2.3 and other bugs??? » 2024-12-03 19:04:40
@greenjeans : fwiw, your open-in-terminal action in #4 is working correctly in fluxuan, as are the open-folder-as root, edit-as-root, folder-attribs and set-wallpaper actions.
#10 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Pcmanfm offers free appimages of krita 5.2.3 and other bugs??? » 2024-12-03 13:32:07
I tried that desktop file and it does create the option to 'open terminal here' but it doesn't work. Message is "invalid desktop entry file". when I try to execute it.
pcmanfm should have a default "Open in Terminal" entry in the top part of a folder's context menu.
That should work - provided a correct x-terminal-emulator is set in pcmanfm's preferences --> advanced tab (or at least it does in my fluxuan daedalus setup)
#11 Re: Off-topic » Question about Debian issuing patches » 2024-09-29 09:12:23
(Blatantly copied from a post by @johnraff on the bunsenlabs forums)
There's a mitigation shown on Debian's security tracker: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tra … 2024-47176
For client/desktop systems: Remove 'cups' from the "BrowseRemoteProtocols" line in /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf and restart the cups-browsed service.
This seems to be what has been done in Debian's latest cups-filters upgrade - 1.28.17-5, currently in Sid, so should arrive in Bookworm and Trixie soon:

#12 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Strange window after start » 2024-09-23 14:29:36
After a successful (and nearly flawless) upgrade of my fluxuan setup from daedalus to excalibur, I get to see this empty "Unnamed" window too after login.
With its background color #000000, it looks like a terminal window, but there is NO prompt, and not accepting any input.
Has anyone experienced same after upgrading to excalibur - and perhaps managed to find out what or why?
#13 Re: Installation » is the Devuan repository server usually slow or offline? » 2024-08-27 21:17:25
Okay, this worked:
deb http://gnlug.org/pub/devuan/merged daedalus main
deb http://gnlug.org/pub/devuan/merged daedalus-updates main
deb http://gnlug.org/pub/devuan/merged daedalus-security main
Thank you Sir, that repo server actually did serve me some updates...
