I still use a classic roller-ball mouse! Old habits die hard . . .

And there you have it. Thanks for the update and confirmation.

@greenjeans . . . That is very true and probably the logic behind them still being in their current position. Please share your perspective with Xenguy on IRC #devuan-www where this was being discussing earlier today wrt the presentation on devuan.org.

@Camtaf . . . If you tell me which ones need attention, I can have a look and move them to an appropriate place. That will need to be done anyway for the WWW update when Excalibur is released. Thanks for your help!
#255 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Wallpaper Location » 2025-05-01 20:24:38
Translation of the above . . .
Hello everyone. Sorry for writing in Spanish. I'm new to GNU/Linux, and I chose Devuan as my option (I come from—and sometimes also use—another distribution that some say is more beginner-friendly. But I really feel very comfortable with Devuan, and it's been a very good decision).
The issue I'm raising is related to this topic. I'm also new to Xfce (I use Devuan 5.0 Daedalus with the Xfce desktop), and I've encountered the difficulty of not being able to find the /usr/share/images/desktop-base/ directory. I've searched for it in Thunar with the search engine, and it doesn't appear. I'm probably doing the search incorrectly. The reason for my question is to have the backup folder for the default Devuan wallpapers before changing the wallpaper in Xfce, or at least identify the path to said folder.
Thank you and best regards.

dzz . . . nice to see you around so much and contributing to debuging the Excalibur isos. :thumbs-up:
#257 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » viber authentication upon reboot » 2025-04-16 19:39:30
It's not on https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt
Neither is it found in our package list https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/poli … *&x=submit
IOW . . . Devuan does not know that viber exists so there is no expectation that it would work . . .

"Just delete the file and don't ever turn your machine off" is also not a great answer my friend.
Huh . . . When my tower suspends, it is quite dormant and power is off.
#259 Re: Other Issues » Getting a ton of the same errors in .xsession-errors in excalibur » 2025-04-11 22:17:46
@golinux, don't know about your system, but here I can delete the file(s), but it re-spawns every time you re-boot or logout/logbackin.
That's what "suspend" is for. I can go for a VERY long time w/o having to reboot. 
#260 Re: Other Issues » Getting a ton of the same errors in .xsession-errors in excalibur » 2025-04-11 21:24:48
So I ended up resorting to having a size limit on the /home/.xsession-errors file.
I gave up on xsession-errors years ago. Whenever I update, I immediately delete that file because otherwise I may forget and it will grow to a gargantuan size. Doing so has never impacted performance that I have noticed.

Morning steve_v . . .
I should have said that I only mentioned a FEW of the tasks that are currently not being addressed/maintained. In part, that is because I am still happily on chimaera and dreading the day I will have to deal with more current obstacles.
Do I take that to mean this is well under control and Devuan's pipewire-launcher and autostart files are being actively maintained? Is there some secret-squirrel development branch I don't know about?
Sadly, the dev channels are mostly silent and there is little new blood stepping up to provide redundancy and skills going forward. Feel free to be part of the solution. 
#262 Re: Documentation » How to: Devuan 5 Daedalus an pipewire » 2025-04-08 15:22:18
*And no, @golinux, I'm not interested in doing theming or . . .
Read that correspondence again more carefully, steve_v. I never suggested YOU do ANYTHING specific. I only mentioned the tasks that are currently not being maintained. And I encouraged you to do SOMETHING but flap your gums from the sidelines.
#263 Re: Documentation » How to: Devuan 5 Daedalus an pipewire » 2025-04-04 15:52:23
Is there a reason why no one so far has a solution for a sysvinit script? Have there been attempts? And if so, what were the pitfalls?
This project has been around for years: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/pipe … diversity/ Surprised you are not aware of it. Or perhaps that isn't the answer to the question you are asking . . .

What is drama for you is merely an investigation of human predictability (and stupidity) for me. A cat will always swipe at a dangling, bouncy toy. It just can't resist.

@blackhole - As usual, you missed the point. It was intended to be a teaching moment for those rushing to hair-trigger judgments and resorting to abuse. It proved once again that we see the world as we ourselves are and not as it is. The amusement was the icing on the cake.

Experiment completed.

Ha! And starting on a new page!! Very cool . . .

I will say I am on your side for this.
Oh zapper . . . I'm guessing you didn't read this post:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=54658#p54658
There are no sides. Temporarily closing that thread is an experiment to see what the response would be and I must say that it has been quite amusing and predictable so far. Humans never seem to learn . . .
#273 Re: Forum Feedback » I can't believe you closed the Joke thread. » 2025-02-28 01:09:59
Think of this thread as something like a Rorschach test. I must say the results are proving to be quite amusing . . .

As a preemptive strike, how do I delete my account.
Rage quit in protest? Really? How old are you?
And FYI, accounts can not be deleted.
The above responses to my little "challenge" are showing in living color just why the world is in the mess that's it's in. Let it be a teaching moment.

@GlennW . . . My previous comments prove only what YOUR mind imagines and you keep digging the hole deeper. 
License is not freedom and "feelings" are the most unreliable metric of all.
I am merely an observer of human behavior while you choose to be judge, jury and executioner. It is rather amusing to wind you up!
