Are you talking about https://gnuetertics.org? If so you should probably correct the spelling in the title.

OK. Where I can get sunxi image Devuan for my OrngPI ?
Is the one here not what you need?
#3078 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute keys not working » 2017-08-06 01:34:55
Given that Pulse Audio was created by the same Rat responsible for systemd (vomit), should not we be using an ALSA based system for the management of Sound and associated devices?
This has been debated since the beginning of the fork. Since newer versions of Firefox require PA, our choice is to capitulate or devise a rock solid way to use apulse instead.
Should I file a Bug report for this at https://bugs.devuan.org/ ?
Sure, please do.

Perhaps you'd like to change it?

Hadn't looked in a while because everything just works. But after looking at that tangled mess, I'm wondering how that can possibly be. Worst offender? Google hangouts! Avidemux was a close second. Just had to share . . .
#3083 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Occasional reboot waking up from suspend » 2017-08-03 03:05:14
. . . secondly I tend to prefer using the shift key or ctrl key to wake a sleeping compute . . .
Since I started to use the Ctrl key, there has not been one spontaneous reboot when waking up from suspend. So it was either that or possibly an upgrade around that time. I'll mark this as solved.
#3084 Re: Devuan » Questions for switching from Arch Linux to Devuan » 2017-07-31 01:11:20
I do know they are working on the next release - ASCII - its named after a star.
No, not a star. It's the name of a minor planet in our solar system.
rsyslog is an issue - but there are two other loggers that work --(i did the something-ng one without an issue) and there is another workaround mentioned.
To clarify . . . from https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=4081#p4081
. . . you can install rsyslog from backports (or else replace it with syslog-ng or busybox-syslogd

Before you ask your question, search duckduckgo.com for any error messages you may have gotten because answers and/or documentation for Debian will often be the same for Devuan. Post here once you have confirmed that it's not an upstream issue,
If you have a question about Devuan, this user forum is a good place to start. But there are other resources available that might help you to find an answer even before you ask here or if your question here goes unanswered. Each of these resources has its pros and cons. Once you become more familiar with them, you'll know the best place to either find an answer or start a discussion about something new.
Devuan's irc channels always have the most current chatter about what's going on with Devuan. #devuan is logged at botbot and the search function will take you to conversations that go back to the very beginning of the fork. Irc is also where you'll most likely catch a developer to ask a specific technical question.
The DNG mail list was started before the fork was official. All the history is there as well as debates and sometimes lengthy technical discussions.
Finally, check the Devuan bugtracker to see if your issue has already been reported. If it has, respond with any additional information.
Please let me know if I've missed anything and I'll add it to this list.
#3086 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] XFCE (Really Xorg) Max Resolution Problem » 2017-07-28 21:47:31
Do you login with slim? Maybe try lightdm? Or possibly set the resolution in xorg.conf? I haven't had to do any of that in years but can remember when it was necessary.

Its robustness was short-lived as that option to apt-file no longer exists.
More information as to why not would be helpful. Perhaps it was PEBKAC . . .
#3090 Re: Forum Feedback » Attach File to post. » 2017-07-27 00:48:18
How do I attach - or otherwise provide access to - a file to a post. The file(s) in question are too large to include inline without totally cluttering up the message.
Thanks,
Attachments are not allowed on the forum. We hope to have something similar to http://paste.debian.net/ someday. But for now please chose a third party document posting site and link to it in your post.
#3091 Re: Other Issues » How to mirror ascii? » 2017-07-27 00:36:15
again its debuan for the users or for "dev"'s only?
If you don't know the answer by now, you're not paying attention so I'm not going to repeat myself.
if documentation were put in right place . . .
This fragment is somewhat intelligible. Documentation is important. We all know that. It also needs to be written. It doesn't write itself. As to where is the right place? Well, that depends . . .
"babysit"'s dont ask so many to the "dev"'s ok, more respect to the users AGAIN!
I have no idea what you're trying to say here but I do know that you end by again wrongly judging and and insulting those of us working so hard on a project that you bitch about in nearly every post. Some gratitude for the tremendous effort it's taken to get this far would be appropriate. But then finding anything positive or remotely helpful in one of your posts is the last thing I'd ever expect. If you don't like it here and have such a low estimation of our efforts, please move on elsewhere . . .

Yeah saw it in the backlog and just now connected it to you. I can't remember if it was actually solved. (Too much to remember . . .) A bug report is a more permanent way of recording it. irc logs quickly fade into oblivion.

Since the devs don't have time to babysit this forum, I took the initiative to ask for you. Here's the answer:
<golinux> You might want to have a quick look at this: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=3675#p3675
<Centurion_Dan> we don't provide rsync access to the packages at this stage.
You might want to read more about amprolla. It's just a search away if you would care to try:

#3096 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] Menu fix if a user has upgraded to Ascii... » 2017-07-26 01:56:28
Was a reinstall even necessary? I have switched out config files and maybe I'll have to restart the app but have never had to reinstall.
#3097 Re: Devuan » Status of releases and details of packages » 2017-07-25 15:22:30
1. Do you plan a page comparable to "http://packages.debian.org/"? I regularly have the need to find which package a specific file is inside. As long as I use jessie, the results from Debian will be good enough, but I assume as soon as I switch to ascii, there will be no workaround.
Someone is working on providing package info. WIP is here: http://devuanpackages.viralds.it/releases
2. Do you plan an overview of the status of the releases? For example: just because I'm curious, I created a VM, made a fresh install of jessie and upgraded to ascii. I have the feeling ascii is far from being stable (which is not surprising me!), but I don't find a place I could verify my feeling.
There is no status overview available but there have been plenty of discussions here and on irc. rsyslog is one of the problems. Search https://botbot.me/freenode/devuan/ for the workaround until that pkg is fixed. But many are using ASCII and even testing alternate inits on it. Depends on your use case, of course.
#3098 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Dell XPS 13 9360 ("Developer Edition") and ascii or ceres vs Debian 9 » 2017-07-25 06:03:38
Keep in mind that ASCII is the equivalent of Debian Stretch. And atm there is no 'testing' option available on Devuan (except for sid). Eventually Beowulf will track Buster but it is not set up at this time.
#3099 Re: Devuan » Stretch is coming, Devuan status backported or up to date packages » 2017-07-24 23:23:25
A little humility is necessary there are many houses here
Perhaps you should follow your own advice.
DEVUAN ITS FOR USERS OR FOR THE FORUM ADMINS AND FRIENDS?
Devuan is for anyone - there are many use cases - and your insinuations and accusations are hostile and insulting. Please recalibrate you attitude meter if you want to continue to post here.
