. . . the Russian State is not the Russian free software community.
...& most of the Russian people seem to disagree with what is happening, but are powerless to do anything about it, unfortunately.

Welcome aboard. 
#278 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Chimaera: "apt purge slim" will remove "task-xfce-desktop*" +much more » 2022-11-10 17:47:36
Looks like it's a meta package that has slim as a dependancy - I'd try installing lightdm first, then see if it still wants to remove xfce.
#279 Re: Other Issues » Recovery after a badly failed update » 2022-11-07 09:15:56
If your SSD is on a separate mount point to that which the installer uses, it won't be touched.
(You just have to create the mount point again.)
(It is always best to have a separate backup anyway, in case of corruption, whatever O/S you use).
#280 Re: Other Issues » Refracta-snapshot no medium containing live file system » 2022-11-07 09:10:09
Snapshot works well on a regular system, but I noticed this -
I also enabled the option to save a copy of the file system.
& wondered if that overrode making a 'live' - I suggest to try just making a 'live' system.
(I've changed the working directory before, & that works, but I haven't tried writing it to a different disk/partition.)

Secure your computer, by not going online, it's that simple - pull the plug!
#282 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Slim not showing on my main screen, laptop's own screen is broken » 2022-10-30 09:42:26
There are keys at the top of your laptop keyboard which set which monitor is used.
Options are usually internal (laptop), external, or both.
Edit: You could also remove the laptop screen completely if it's broken, I did this on one of mine.
#283 Re: Off-topic » Google in trouble again » 2022-10-30 09:36:02
All the 'Free' search engines are funded by companies promoting their products, it's a kind of advertising, we all know that, but it can be annoying when you are looking for 'genuine' information; but what's the alternative? I'll use different search engines if I'm looking for something really specific, & I'll always get different results - you pays yer money for what you get.....

Ha, ha, I don't watch Netflix - my computer is for the internet, forums, playing music, etc. 
#285 Re: Devuan » Brave New Trusted Boot World » 2022-10-27 14:28:13
Got no problem with captchas, as long as they work properly, some don't, or are somewhat iffy, but if it helps reduce spam, or something like that, I can see the point, but for my own interests, it will just be a pain in the ar*e, I think.
Anyway, I've got a 'stock' of old machines, so as long as Linux in general doesn't demand it, I'll be fine.

This document will assume that the reader has comprehensive familiarity with TPM 2.0 security chips and their capabilities (e.g., PCRs, measurements, SRK), boot loaders, the shim binary, Linux, initrds, UEFI Firmware, PE binaries, and SecureBoot.
Ye gods, what about us poor old folks who just like to use their (ancient) computers without fuss.......

But, Debian now include all the drivers necessary, at long last...but I'll still stay with Devuan, The 'True' Debian.

#289 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Refracta - HDD space required? » 2022-10-15 16:46:18
Yes, it will fit with space to spare, if memory serves me right, it's about 4~5GB installed.
#290 Re: Off-topic » Lennart Poettering (Systemd) Lands at Microsoft After Leaving Red Hat » 2022-10-15 09:07:54
So, MS wants to go Linux, quite a good move on their part, (they've been there before), but why on earth put it on top of their 'Windows' system!
To be honest, I won't miss systemd or pulseaudio, I prefer not to use them anyway...
But....if Linux gets too much more commercialized, I'll be going to the BSDs for my computers.
#291 Re: Devuan » Devuan kFreeBSD » 2022-10-14 08:52:09
I don't really see the point...
Why use a kernel from another O/S - just 'Devuanize' one of the BSDs, if it's the look & feel that you're after.
Alternately, get on board the Hurd project, it was designed to work with GNU (Linux) software utilities.
#292 Re: Other Issues » xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin issue when startup » 2022-10-11 16:33:36
Did you 'save settings' on shutdown(?).
#293 Re: Other Issues » No Sound ALSA » 2022-10-08 14:19:55
I had a problem with sound, I switched over from a VGA monitor to a HDMI without built in speakers, but when I went back to the VGA monitor, everything was working fine - I don't think pulseaudio takes that fact into consideration, because I had it set to analogue stereo, which should have worked via the audio out socket.

It's not meant to allow all encompassing usage, that's what su is for.
#295 Re: Installation » Installing from USB thumb drive » 2022-10-03 16:38:34
I think @Camtaf is talking about desktop-live, which is a different alternative that many people prefer.
Yes, sorry, both 'live' versions have been updated, & I assumed that the 'desktop' would have been too, 'my bad', as some say.
#296 Re: Installation » Installing from USB thumb drive » 2022-10-03 09:11:49
Latest version is 4.0.2 - try that.

For anyone who is interested in having a look, (not 11.1.0, but will give you the idea of what it was) - https://sourceforge.net/projects/archiveos/files/s/sharpbang/sharpbang-buster-10.2.0-i386.hybrid.iso/download

Fluxbox is king as far as I'm concerned, but basically any WM is better than a DE, I'd even take JWM.......
#300 Re: Installation » Installing from USB thumb drive » 2022-10-02 08:41:45
It's likely something to do with Rufus, I've had no problems with using dd to create installer pendrives.
