@chillfan . . . Didn't we start saving some XUL extensions quite a while ago?  Do you still have those somewhere?  I'm still hoping they will come in handy at some point.

#2977 Re: Other Issues » Wireless issues » 2017-12-03 18:20:03

That post is short on specifics.  What are you using to connect?  What driver do you have installed for what hardware?  Could we see your sources.list?  I'm only wired so can't help much but I know that info would be useful to find a solution.

It would be great to have a list of which boards are needed, and how they could be used.

I haven't seen anything more specific than that.  Just a few weeks ago parazyd asked me to add this to the Donate page of devuan.org:

. . . ARM or MIPS boards or PowerPC/Sparc hardware

Good timing . . . there has been util-linux activity on https://ci.devuan.org/ this morning.  Some build success but a ways to go.

#2981 Re: Other Issues » Tried an upgrade to Ascii today, and got this message... » 2017-12-02 15:43:44

There are long standing issues with util-linux.  Though I'm not quite sure what they are, this package is a major roadblock to the release of ascii.  Hopefully will be rectified before or  during the ascii sprint coming in mid-December.

When I was trying ceres a month ago system was freezing often. Now, after few hours ceres still behaves. To me this means that developers are working hard to get new Devuan ready.

Just now seeing this. IIUC Devuan devs don't touch anything in ceres except for the automatic removal of some systemd pkgs.

Has it been the last month that it moved from experimental to ascii?

That hasn't happened quite yet but will soon.

It was worked out in real time on #devuan-dev.  No public logging there though . . .

#2985 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Clarity regarding eth0 device name » 2017-11-29 22:14:35

eudev is being tested (quite successfully) in ascii.

It's very late here so will just post a link to the correct information for the repos generated by amprolla3:

https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … ab.en.html

There are several posts on this forum that also have that information

That mirror has been around for a long time.  Sometimes geeks can be a bit  gross.

#2992 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] <Ascii> xfce4-terminal; No Scroll bar » 2017-11-22 15:59:57

Happy to hear that you got that sorted.  I hadn't thought to ask about themes other than mention the havoc that GTK3 is causing.  There are  many outdated, unusable themes in the repos.  I am just now getting around to theming ascii.  The wallpaper is almost finished then I'll move on to the window theme.  I already know that there are problems with CPP so will have to find something else to use as a base.

#2993 Re: Off-topic » How's this for "Ignorance is Bliss"? » 2017-11-22 05:20:49

Well, that's stressful.  I guess this falls under the 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' category . . .

Hi

Can anyone confirm, this issue is on his xfce also?

No problem here with my xfce4-terminal in ascii.  As I suspected and mentioned above the scrollbar is nearly invisible until the lines go beyond the end of the page.  Then a very narrow nearly invisible gray bar only a few mm wide pops up.  Clicking on it turns the clearlooks color.  Move the cursor away and it's invisible again.  It's yet another GTK3 annoyance.  There are also several scrollbar options in Preferences so make sure it's not disabled there.

#2997 Re: Other Issues » Firefox goes to be just title bar with a thin grey line just below » 2017-11-20 18:19:58

To answer your question . . . some of us here are on the dev team while other devs stay on mostly irc and rarely come here.

#2998 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] <Ascii> xfce4-terminal; No Scroll bar » 2017-11-20 16:24:49

The little bit I've played with ascii I've noticed that the scrollbar on some GTK3 apps (synaptic for one) is rather hidden and very thin even when it does appear.  So try playing with your mouse to see if that's the problem in your case.

It sounds like the window could be getting accidentally "shaded" via a mouse action.

As I recall, double left clicking or scrolling the scroll wheel on the window title bar causes the window to roll/up down.  You could also temporarily switch to window decorations which support the shade button for a while and see how it goes.

Yes, there is no action button in the title bar but Clearlooks-Phenix-Purpy does shade with the scroll wheel and you might have accidentally done that.

As for everything else . . . I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to say.
