As to Mint . . . it is NOT recommended to mix Devuan repos even with other Debian derivatives. It could put you into a whole world of hurt. If you do try that, backup first and check dependency versions against those available in Devuan. Then cross your fingers and recite the appropriate incantations.

LOL! Sometimes low-tech is the only solution.

I think you're describing "auto login". In the the config file of your dm (whatever that is) there should be an option to toggle yes/no. I think there is even an option to set that during installation but I don't do that often enough to be sure.

Maybe the builder of the PI3 images just doesn't read the forum?
Exactly. #devuan-arm (ping parazyd) and https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk/issues/ are excellent places to catch his attention.

The *kit backends are not fully sorted in ascii. This post should point you in the right direction:

All that is in the dir is directories. No files.
I guess I am going to have to email parazyd.
That or freenode #devuan-arm

What do I know? In any case, the sym link points to something that isn't there. (:>)
This is what's in the script.

#2660 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Any Devuan-based distros that use Debian's original installer? » 2018-04-18 00:29:02
Debian is already a great distribution in itself. So, there's no need to modify anything about it, in my opinion (besides removing the systemd component).
It is obvious you have no idea what 'removing the systemd component' involves. More grandiose, empty 'opinions' from the gnat that keeps buzzing in our ears . . .

#2662 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Any Devuan-based distros that use Debian's original installer? » 2018-04-17 20:12:40
. . . a revised, libre-oriented installer.
There has been talk recently (not related the current rants which most of the devs won't even see) about Devuan releasing a 'Libre' version possibly for Ascii in addition to what is now offered. The various components are scattered here and there. Just need to be collected and glued together. Unfortunately, most of us lack the skills to help with that so it remains on the to-do list . . .
#2663 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Any Devuan-based distros that use Debian's original installer? » 2018-04-17 17:33:39
Geesh . . . I was just trying to help but that will likely be the last time.
Just something to think about . . . very few things in this world are under our 'control'. The control that we do have is in the mind that perceives the uncontrollable. There is truth in what you say but it has taken you down quite a rabbit hole. Please stop trying to pull us in with you. Wasted bits and bytes . . .
#2664 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Themes etc. after upgrade Jessie to Ascii - LXDE » 2018-04-17 16:20:41
Since the Jessie - Ascii upgrade the icons are a bit, er, loud, but editing the setting/Themes, I can select "Tango" which seems to offer nice icons, without changing the overall theme.

These have been done for some time but not yet been packaged for ascii. Hopefully this weekend. Enjoy if the color suits you! https://dev1galaxy.org/files/DarkPurpy-links.tar.gz

Here's a suggestion . . . do you know that devuan has no-systemd version of tails?

That might suit you perfectly.

You do like to chew on a dry bone, don't you. No need to keep repeating yourself in 101 variations.
#2671 Re: Devuan » contrib and non-free repositories should be disabled by default » 2018-04-15 22:06:34
I believe in choice. I also believe pressing the wrong key would be operator error.
Yes to both of these statements. Forcing non-free is as offensive as limiting its availability. Crusaders are entitled to their opinion but it is just that. The choice to use or not use non-free is the USER's. ATM, that part of the installer is being carefully scrutinized, tested and updated to ensure consistency. As to pressing the wrong key . . . who of us hasn't done that a time or two. You take your lumps and move on. But it's PEBKAC, not the installer's fault.
#2672 Re: Other Issues » (SOLVED) Systemd Library in Ascii » 2018-04-15 18:57:16
You might want to read this. It doesn't answer your specific question but it will help you understand why some (non-functional) systemd files may be on your computer. If someone has the time and skill all those unsightly (but non-functional) deps could be removed from the offending apps and be repackaged.
#2673 Re: Devuan » What proprietary software does Devuan install by default? » 2018-04-14 20:15:37
Thank you very much for all those commands (that I didn't know the existence of).
I wasn't able yet to successfully install any version of Devuan on my computer (I'm waiting for the next stable release, that should be as functional on my computer as Debian 9) - but, I've tested all those commands in Debian already, and they work very well.
(That's a great way, then, to clear any doubts as to what type of software one has had installed on his/her computer.)
Self-verification should put your mind at ease. In the meantime, please just take a deep breath and try not to let your imagination take you down paths that are stressful for you and waste all our time and energy.

Have you tried the ascii beta which is forked from Debian Stretch?
