Well done, greenjeans!!
#227 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Question about grub background on liveCD/DVD/USB menu » 2024-12-11 00:05:56
@greenjeans . . . I used to know the answer to that question but now it is lost in time. Sadly, it could take days for that information to re-surface.
EDIT: The fog is kind of lifting . . . Poke /usr/share/desktop-base/grub-themes/
#228 Re: Devuan » Devuan LXQt themes (again) » 2024-12-08 21:11:23
The answer to your kind offer is a bit complicated . . .
About a year ago I put together a wallpaper mock-up for the excalibur color palette titled "deathmetal"* with which you seem to be familiar. Problem is that at 82, I don't have it in me to do another full theme as there are just too many moving parts with possible changes in gtk3 etc to deal with. I am also still on chimaera where life is comfortable and predictable.
Sooooo . . . I put out a call for someone to take over a while ago. A few poked at it but no one stepped up to take it on.
We discussed what to do and decided to just keep the Daedalus theme for Excalibur as we have more important tasks needing attention.
That being said . . . if anyone has an interest to take on the task, please do get in touch.
* deathmetal is a visual commentary across centuries on the darkness of war with a touch of gangrene and/or the matrix. Note that it needs to be viewed full-screen as any brightness kills the subtle palette.

Just now investigating these themes and would like to thank Azuma Hazuki for creating them. Well done! They should make some lxqt users very happy.

Nothing lasts for long these days . . . except for human stupidity. You can always count on that especially from those on top of the food chain. It seems that stability is not very profitable . . .

Shame Refracta-to-usb isn't still around, or is it somewhere?
There is still documentation on the refracta website:

Have no idea how current it is . . .

golinux childishly disabled the quick-quote functionality some time back on account of a few users excessive use of it annoying him
LOL! Nice dig but no cigar on several counts. Go back to bed. Get out of the other side and try again, grumpus. It's a bit sad that after so many years you know so little about us.

"[" quote=name of user you are quoting "]" text to be quoted " [" /quote "]"
All the extra " and spaces are to make the structure viewable when posting. Maybe there is a better way to do that . . .

How do you quote and mention posts and people with this forum portal?
Immediately above this input window there is a line of functions to choose from. You will find many useful tags there including [ quote ].

The "world" is in our minds which have always been captured by those with an agenda due to our own stupidity. But this venue is not the place to go down that rabbit hole . . .
@trinidad . . . it is a light that those poets are mentioned by someone on this forum. Thank you!

There isn't a Devuan release with the name 'crowz'.
But there is! Crowz is a Devuan derivative that has been around for years. You might want to have a look at this list of other Devuan derivatives.

@greenjeans . . . Sorry that I am so old and slow. LOL!
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=766 now points to the new thread at the top of the first and last pages of the thread.

Did I get it right? If yes, that thread should probably be closed.
So happy to have you back and doing your thing!!

Greetings to all!
November 27 is a very special day. It is the day that the Veteran Unix Admin collective announced their intention to fork Debian! The original announcement that was sent to the DNG mailing list is preserved on devuan.org and in the dng archives:
https://www.devuan.org/os/announce/
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 3a.en.html
Additional insights can be found in some of the issues that were preserved from our old github:
https://www.devuan.org/os/gitlab-issues
Do take a walk down memory lane or if you are newer to Devuan, familiarize yourself with the creative "electricity" that has energized and sustained this project for a decade and consider offering your talents to support Devuan going forward. It has been a truly amazing journey!
May the fork be with us for many years to come!

There is a time limit of a few weeks to be able to edit posts. Would not be good to have the ability to rewrite history. It has always been this way.

Are you trying to update Chimaera or upgrade to Daedalus? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something . . . wouldn't be the first time.
