#276 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.

@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.  wink

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. smile

*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.

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.  wink

@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. smile

Happy to see you got this together, lxb. Way to go!

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

Oh zapper . . . I'm guessing you didn't read this post:

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 . . .

#292 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. roll

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!

#295 Re: Forum Feedback » I can't believe you closed the Joke thread. » 2025-02-27 22:52:59

@ GlennW . . . Good grief . . . Your imagination is in overdrive and your insulting, hair-trigger response shows exactly who and what you are. Did you not read this post?

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=54658#p54658

Or did you just see that it was closed and lose it WITHOUT READING the FINAL POST?

#296 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2025-02-27 21:55:01

Time for a little break . . .

#297 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2025-02-26 21:24:17

@moulder61 . . . Please note that I do NOT read the jokes. I am only a bean counter keeping track or resource usage. It is disturbing

#298 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2025-02-26 20:23:13

Take charge of your own addiction! Closing this would not be fair to other Devuan users. wink

#299 Re: Off-topic » The Joke Thread » 2025-02-26 19:15:44

More posts in this thread today than anywhere else on this forum combined. What's wrong with that picture? Has devuan become a joke? roll
