Ah, thanks for clarifying.  My concern was indeed that you were using that to set up a public mirror and that seemed like a rather odd first post.  Enjoy your time here.  Hope we're all good now that that's been straightened out.  smile

@fungus . . . Even though I said that on the DNG mailing list, I did not have the ability AT THAT TIME to do so.  Please stop repeating "alternate facts".  You are only a victim of your own behavior.  IOW you are doing it to yourself.

Have you ever read this forum's (almost) No Code of Conduct?  In light of that, I am sadly locking this thread.  If you persist, you will enjoy a 'time out' from posting on this forum.

#3079 Re: Documentation » Make a mirror of devuan package repository with a modified debmirror » 2017-08-29 07:43:54

You are jumping the gun here.  Package mirrors will need to be set up in a specific way.  Please wait for the official instructions.

In the meantime this might be instructive:

OK, fungus . . . here is an answer for you.  Phrases like "a market bourgeois system" and "idealistic neoliberalism" are ideological concepts.   And the last para is an empty rant of emotional, judgmental opinions and buzzwords that have no place here or in any rational discussion.  The world is the world.  It spins as it will.  Adding to the strife accomplishes nothing.  It just feeds the beast.  Please don't drag this forum (and by association the Devuan project) down into the cesspool.

Fungus, I can't comment on post #11 because the text is gone.

No, it isn't. It's just hidden with a white font color.  Cursor magic will make it appear (no lemon juice needed).

Please curb your imagination!  I did NOT remove you from the DNG list.  At that time I did not even have the ability to do so. 

More on the questions you asked above a bit later . . .

Apologies.  I thought you might want the list like it would be in terminal.  I didn't look at what the fields permitted.  That seems a bit general though.  HOW would be like me to use them?

The link to BBCode is the first just below this input window

fungus . . . this forum is not the place for you (or anyone else) to spew personal ideology.  An edit could save your post from being sequestered elsewhere.   If other forum users find it appropriate, I may reconsider . . .

#3085 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Wicd/system-wide permissions? » 2017-08-28 23:28:04

OMG!   That's a mess.  Please use BBCode tags.  They are all just over the input box.

#3086 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Microphone not found by ALSA » 2017-08-26 04:58:48

I can barely read those colors but i can see that I have more than twice as many options available.   First suggestion  would be to hit F5 to see all the options, unless of course you've removed all but the ones in the image.  (I would have no idea how to do that)  Second would be to disable auto-mute.

#3087 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Microphone not found by ALSA » 2017-08-26 04:09:37

I assume that you've checked all the open/closed/muted channels in alsamixer?

That should give you some clues about what's going on.

Also, there was no installer when I launched the live CD in VirtualBox.

Look for refractainstaller in the system menu.  Isn't there an icon on the desktop to launch it?

RE: friendsofdevuan wiki     [mostly for @golinux or @jaromil]

FTR, the wiki is hosted by FlibberTGibbet.  msi (with feedback from me) has recently done a major reorganization that is still very  much in process.   Jaromil is not involved.

golinux wrote in #1

Contribute RTFM stuff - Documentation and/or translations in any language are needed. Contributions could go into <https://friendsofdevuan.org/doku.php>

the 'contact' page is empty

So it is!  The wiki was recently restructured and obviously the linkage to that page was broken.  I'll try to get that fixed.  I have also updated the links to the wiki in this thread.

How would I submit info to the wiki

Have you registered yet?  Be aware  that approval is a manual process because of the volume of spam to the site.   Items coming from Dev1Galaxy most likely should go into the Community Documentation area of the wiki but the new landing page is not set up yet.

-- there are tidbits scattered all over DNG and dev1galaxy
that might fit into the structure of the wiki.  In someways it is a condensed version of dev1galaxy
without the 'experimentation/errors' and such

Very true.  And we have envisioned something like that but progress has been at a snail's pace.

looking forward -- Devuan is getting bigger - I noticed more requests for info that isn't Devuan related!!!

Hopefully we will continue to grow both in the number of users as well as packagers and developers.  I see you are taking on d1h.  Good for you!

#3096 Re: Other Issues » apt apt-get synaptic madness in ceres (major BUG or what?) » 2017-08-19 14:17:02

Just for clarity:

Devuan  =  Debian
Jessie 1.0  =  Jessie  (old stable)
ASCII (in process) = Stretch (stable)
Beowulf (not yet set up) = Buster (testing)
Ceres = sid

Exactly.  I am still dumbfounded why you thought a self-promotional Off Topic first post was a good idea . . .

Maybe I should have asked on SQL support web instead, they too have people with good scripting skills.

Actually, it would seem an odd first post on just about any forum imo.

Why don't you start with one desktop and then expand incrementally instead of throwing a smorgasbord at it.

"vanity site" ?

You have one link in your profile and one in your footer and your first post is only tangentially related to Devuan. That seems a bit too self-promotional/spammy for a first post.  It was very nearly deleted.

Did I do something unethical?

No.  Just an awkward self-absorbed entrance to this community.  It was a real turnoff.

I asked for someone with a specific skill in shell scripting and math. I work very hard to make sure the web explains its purpose.
There is no registration on that web because it is not a public forum, I plug that web and its projects everywhere because that is how you find like-minded people. I am looking for people to get a project going. I am trying to create something meaningful.

It really is all about you and your project isn't it . . .  Why are you here exactly?

#3100 Re: Other Issues » apt apt-get synaptic madness in ceres (major BUG or what?) » 2017-08-19 00:45:29

AFAIK, no one is working on ceres atm. We've barely started on ascii.  Anyone running on ceres should have the chops to fix it.  But devuan has very unique problems that straight debian would not have.   amprolla has some systemd filters in place and that will improve in amprolla3 which is not operational yet.  Bottom line . . . if you want to live on the cutting edge, you just could get sushied!  Your choice.  It would progress devuan more if you were finding and helping with bugs in ascii.

*edit*  Have been re-thinking the above and I don't think it's quite right.  I don't know that the devs will ever take on anything in sid. Perhaps someone could clarify.

Another factor that might be affecting you ceres is that as yet there is no equivalent of debian's current testing  - buster.  So you've missed an entire release in your upgrade.
