#2526 Re: Installation » Wrong /etc/locale.gen after Ascii net-install with additional locale » 2018-06-13 15:20:03
Please report bugs to http://bugs.devuan.org It's easy to do by email following the instructions.
#2527 Re: Other Issues » [Solved] Firefox 60 » 2018-06-13 15:13:23
snapd is on the banned package list for systemd dependency. So no you wouldn't be able to install snaps on Devuan. Unless, of course, you adopt and maintain that package to remove the dependency from release to release.
#2528 Re: Installation » Installation failure for specific locale (gr) [SOLVED]. » 2018-06-12 15:34:53
Some DMs are more friendly that others to setting locales. KDE can be a bit fussy with this. Please read the Release notes and also search this forum for KDE.
#2529 Re: Installation » [Solved] Ascii upgrade (also) messed up this Devuan Jessie » 2018-06-12 15:30:27
Have you read the Release notes? I suspect something is amiss with the backend combo needed for your setup.
#2530 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Enlightenment & Falkon » 2018-06-12 15:00:10
Why anyone would recommend appimage, flatpak or snaps is beyond me. It's a great way to bloat your system. And is there any way to know what exactly is in those options of convenience?
Even on the Falkon page, the first recommendation is to "install falkon package from your distribution’s repositories".
#2531 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Enlightenment & Falkon » 2018-06-12 03:24:29
Start with backports and work your way further from ASCII. Be prepared that it may or may not go smoothly. Not much has been done on beowulf yet.
#2532 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Enlightenment & Falkon » 2018-06-12 02:59:00
Backports is an optional repository that builds testing pkgs for stable. Add it to your sources.list. But be selective and only install the pkgs that you need, not everything that's available in there.
#2533 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Enlightenment & Falkon » 2018-06-12 02:42:38
Have you checked ASCII backports? Maybe you could package it yourself if all else fails. At least they aren't on the list of banned packages so that's a good start.
#2534 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Missing *gotta-have* program... » 2018-06-12 00:46:50
Have you checked pkginfo.devuan.org? And also backports?
#2535 Re: Installation » pkgmaster.devuan.org or deb.devuan.org? » 2018-06-11 14:55:39
The recommended sources are defined here:
https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list
deb.devuan.org is a pool of mirrors that are all synced to pkgmaster.
The maintainer of that wiki will hopefully be changing that presently .
#2536 Re: Devuan » Why Devuan? » 2018-06-10 07:16:32
There is no reason to assume that in Debian sysvinit, openrc and runit will continue to be available or that every application won't require systemd to work.

Patience is a virtue.
#2538 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Problems going into another operative system. [solved] » 2018-06-08 13:07:36
just for clarification: i did't nothing at MXLinux that line was added in Devuan.
Of course. Sorry I didn't make that clearer.
#2539 Re: Installation » Post Install House Keeping » 2018-06-07 23:58:10
The release notes for the upcoming stable are quite detailed and might help walk you through some of the pitfalls of an ASCII install/upgrade. There are also dev1fanboy's install and upgrade guides on the website. Of course every user has different needs and every release has different pitfalls and not all of those cases can be addressed.
#2540 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Problems going into another operative system. [solved] » 2018-06-07 19:58:05
Question:
and if from mxlinux i go to fstab and change what is over there:
# Pluggable devices are handled by uDev, they are not in fstab /dev/sda3 / auto defaults,noatime 1 1to this:
UUID=6e55911a-2620-4ab6-b2b5-1458602e6252 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 UUID=0b4a75ba-8b74-47b1-8aaa-2d971f92732f swap swap defaults 0 0 LABEL=MXLinux /mnt auto defaults,noatime 0 0
Congratulations!!!! Didn't I suggest exactly that here?
#2541 Re: Installation » Hosted VPS server migration from debian to devuan hosed » 2018-06-06 17:11:35
@golinux:
Your post ("started out on a VPS with Debian 8 upgraded to Devuan Jessie ") made me remember that I've seen "somewhere" a post explaining how to covert debian 8 from systemd to to sysVinit, and one of the OSs on offer at the hoster is debian jessie (which I think is 8, I'm no good with names, numbers lend themselves more to chronological order).
I thought it was always advised to go to sysvinit on debian before transitioning to devuan.
@golinux: As you mention "crayons" in your post I have to have a word with you
. I'm 67, with cataract on the horizon. In fact I've had poor eye sight for more than 25 years and it's getting worse each time I have a checkup, resulting in new glasses.
Although dev1galaxy.org is ok, I find it _very_ difficult to use devuan.org, especially in the evening. Worst of all are links I've visited before [a:visited] --- I simply don't see them without turning style sheets off. Don't forget the baby boomers are all old farts now. Contrast is the best fix for that, some countries even have minimum requirements for contrast. Please (!) try to look into that.
I can sympathize. I've got about 10 years on you and also have cataracts. When this site was first created we did test for usability, and they passed the various standards. The link colors in this second iteration have even more contrast so I'm surprised to hear that you're still having problems. The browser that you're using may have an addon to fix things like that. I have tweaked many websites with Stylish or userChrome or even nosquint to change link and other colors to suit me. I also reduce monitor brightness with xrandr to 65%. And some sites require that I bold the font or increase size.

This discussion is quite over my head but I would just like to add that this very forum started out on a VPS with Debian 8 upgraded to Devuan Jessie so I know it can be done. But I guess not all VPS are created equal and I assume that you're trying to upgrade from Stretch to ASCII not Jessie. One thing that caught my eye was apt-get autoclean which triggered a memory of someone having trouble with that. Poke around the forum and DNG mail list for references to "autoclean" and you might get some clues. Also, the stable release is very, very soon so you might try again with the stable iso which may fix that glitch. Unfortunately, I can't help beyond that. (I'm the one who plays with the crayons.)

@keos . . . we are both developers! Trust me, fsmithred is the best person to help you on this.
#2544 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Problems going into another operative system. [solved] » 2018-06-05 15:41:36
In your case, I'd use the label LABEL="MXLinux" which is human readable rather than UUID in your fstab.
#2545 Re: Installation » Ascii upgrade messed up the devuan jessie » 2018-06-04 18:45:45
Btw, it's a good idea to use code tags when posting config files. That makes it more readable.
Done (for the second time).
#2546 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Problems going into another operative system. [solved] » 2018-06-04 16:38:33
Ah, we've come full circle.
An entry in fstab was my first suggestion.

Oh, that's good news, Miyo. Glad to hear it all worked out.

Just wait till you get the bill! LOLOL!

@Miyo . . . Since I have special powers, I could contact the winner on your behalf.

Spoiler alert!
