This thread is getting absolutely ridiculous.

stargate-sg1-cheyenne-mtn: Why are you posting endless links of nonsense? Maybe you're a bot and your system is in a loop?

@zapper, golinux modification was only to add some text to the original post (no deletions iirc)

LOL! So much for my short term memory. There is just too much nonsense on Devuan channels to remember the specifics. Add to that zapper's over-active imagination and erroneous assumptions and . . . it's off to la-la land!

@greenjeans . . . Thanks for the howto! I am still safely on chimaera but will visit here when I am finally motivated to upgrade . . .

#229 Re: Off-topic » Mods modifying posts. » 2025-01-07 16:44:34

FYI . . . I notified the user in question by email. The content was crude, out of line and irrelevant. Perhaps too much beer was in charge?

I also correct spelling to improve search results.  "Deadalus" has required many such corrections and I add code tags when missing but not always because it happens way too often. No notifications for doing that. Just hoping the user will pickup on it.

#230 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Vuu-do 5.03 (daedalus) New: with more legacy-firmware support » 2024-12-31 19:00:54

Isn't there a similar function on sourceforge that could be used??

#231 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Vuu-do 5.03 (daedalus) New: with more legacy-firmware support » 2024-12-31 17:26:31

That level of detail might be more suited to a personal blog over which you have complete control and also might reach a wider audience. wink

As to alterations to tidy things up . . . that would be something for ralph.ronnquist to take on if he chooses.  I havem't poked the backend of this forum in a very long time . . .

#232 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Vuu-do 5.03 (daedalus) New: with more legacy-firmware support » 2024-12-31 16:06:05

Perhaps think of your posts as announcements of a finished offering rather than a daily diary?

#233 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Sources.list hates me! » 2024-12-31 01:01:57

Spell "chimera" properly as "chimaera" and see if it makes a difference?

#234 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Heads » 2024-12-24 17:13:10

Last I heard, the heads developer had taken another path in life. I have not seen him on Devuan channels for quite a while. Feel free to fork heads and carry on . . .

#235 Re: News & Announcements » Merry Christmas » 2024-12-24 16:22:33

The winter solstice was a few says ago. That is something ALL of us can celebrate. Let there be light!   wink . .

Indeed! Winter solstice is happening right now. Will make it to US tomorrow morning. Rejoice that at least some things in the universe are predictable . . .

@moulder61 . . . You can thank fsmithred for the refracta tools! IIRC, he took over that project from someone on the Debian forum long before systemd was a thing . . .

#239 Re: Documentation » How to: Devuan 5 Daedalus an pipewire » 2024-12-15 17:50:52

@Altoid . . . You are definitely the grand-master of much ado about nothing and the point of your latest effort completely escapes me.  Plonk . . .

#240 Re: Documentation » How to: Devuan 5 Daedalus an pipewire » 2024-12-15 15:34:28

Add me to that list! But then I don't use that function often and hardware is generic.

#242 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/

#243 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.

#244 Re: Devuan » Devuan LXQt themes (again) » 2024-12-06 22:36:39

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. big_smile

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 . . .

#246 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Swapon bash:command not found ? » 2024-12-03 20:50:08

That's what happens when you play Rip Van Winkle for so long . . .  wink

There is still documentation on the refracta website:

Have no idea how current it is . . .

@recklessswing . . . Surely that is sarcasm and not a serious question . . .

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 . . .
