We're working on a Dev1Voyager blog atm.  An homage to the first Star Trek movie and NASA . . .

Hey ozi . . . Congrats!  I like the Kirk thing!!  Spock next?

#2479 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Firefox Oddities » 2018-06-27 00:43:14

Firefox has become the most odd of oddities.  LOL!  Try disabling all your extensions to see if the problem goes away. If it does, start re-enabling them one at a time to find the culprit.  If disabling extensions doesn't stop that behavior,  create a new Moziila profile.  If that stops it, a corrupted profile is likely the problem.  .You can also test by logging into Devuan as another user.   If it goes away, Firefox is OK and it's something with the affected user.

Things changed in stretch.  Thank Debian.  IIRC it had something to do with wayland.

Sounds like the pkexec bug.  You can get some pointers from this DNG thread.   I use gksu to launch root apps to get around this..

Hello,

The question is essentially just what the title is asking: is there any way to directly install Ceres/Unstable?

No.  There are no ceres isos.  AFAIK, you'll have to do it via an upgrade.  Maybe someone else will have another idea for you.

Welcome to Devuan!  The 'official' answer is in the second sentence on the index page of the https://devuan.org/ website.

I assume that you mean Devuan Jessie is now under oldstable status? Please, correct if I am wrong.

I wasn't aware of that but according to this page yes.

Debian Jessie oldstable support has now ended and it is now under the LTS program, not provided by Debian security team, but by third parties.

If possible, I'd just like a clarification on how this works currently for Devuan.
Is there a Devuan security team that provides security updates for Jessie currently under oldstable release? Or do the security updates come mirrored from the Debian LTS program?
Will there be an LTS program for Devuan Jessie too, which will extend beyond the Debian Jessie's LTS?

We follow the Debian LTS cycle as described on this page.  The LTS upgrades applied to Debian will be available in the Devuan Jessie repos as they have always been.

I guess you could post in the after Ascii wishlist thread but your best chances would probably be to follow the official packaging guide and volunteer to maintain those packages yourself.

^ ^ ^ This. ^ ^ ^   The devs have their hands quite full maintaining critical system packages.  But do post a request and maybe those with similar inclinations would band together to help maintain those packages.

#2488 Re: Other Issues » Wifi and HDMI upgrade issues » 2018-06-22 05:15:01

It should work if you follow the upgrade instructions carefully and have the correct repos enabled.

#2490 Re: Other Issues » Wifi and HDMI upgrade issues » 2018-06-22 05:03:03

Did you study the Release Notes before trying to upgrade?

#2493 Re: Installation » Network booting » 2018-06-19 15:33:42

Maybe try #devuan-arm on freenode.

#2494 Re: Forum Feedback » *Resolved*_How do I find something here? » 2018-06-19 04:26:50

Try refining your search.  There are three categories:

Keyword search - plasma or KDE etc.  I sometimes add a space at the end of a search word

Select where to search - Maybe start with checking Desktop and Multimedia and/or Installation

Select how to view search results: you might want to Show results as Posts instead of Topics

@Miyo . . . you are my hero!!  LOLOLOL!!!

But seriously . . . reports of observed dickheadism by any available method - report, Forum Feedback, email, smoke signal etc. - would certainly be helpful to the d1g administrators.

@ralph.ronnquist . . . regardless of the attribution, the pattern is hijack - antagonize - publicize - victimize

@dxrobertson . . . Maybe you'd want to comment on that directly to DW?

#2498 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Ascii: hdparm.conf ignored - udev problem? » 2018-06-18 15:23:51

Is udev running the show or eudev?  IIRC eudev is default in ASCII.  If yes, something might have gotten lost in translation.  That's the only suggestion I have as this subject is way beyond me technically.

#2499 Re: Forum Feedback » Much ado about nothing » 2018-06-17 22:57:54

@ralph.ronnquist . . . Your head is a very nice head.  Anarchists always manage to turn things upside down and make it someone else's fault.  wink

#2500 Re: Forum Feedback » Much ado about nothing » 2018-06-17 21:26:16

The report button is only visible to admins.  A post in forum feedback would be public.  That's a big difference in transparency.
