This was a rather questionable first post. Isn't it YOU who should be contributing to improve Devuan rather than us populating the content of your vanity site? Think about it. Otherwise, enjoy your stay here.
#3102 Re: Other Issues » apt apt-get synaptic madness in ceres (major BUG or what?) » 2017-08-18 23:28:15
So who comes up with 3 massive upgrades a day in ceres?
Probably coming from Debian. I don't think that any of the devs are messing with ceres.
I am not being sarcastic, but have the non-vacationing americans taken over? ;D
No. Things are pretty much dead in the water atm. Except for a few of us irrepressible folks from across the pond on help desk.
#3103 Re: Other Issues » apt apt-get synaptic madness in ceres (major BUG or what?) » 2017-08-18 23:01:38
No developer in 10 days has even offered a hint to diagnose the problem. Is this forum a joke between disoriented users?
This is a user forum but I hardly think it's joke. Some devs rarely come here. They do look at bug reports - I can't remember whether you filed one - and they hang out on irc channels. What makes it worse is that many of them in EU are on a month long 'holiday' so things have pretty much ground to a halt.

Yes, most likely the 'gtk3 sickness'. It's going to get harder and harder to find usable themes. No doubt works perfectly in Gnome </sarcasm>

#3108 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Security updates for devuan jessie » 2017-08-13 16:31:12
To get around the liblognorm2 dependency, install rsyslog from backports or else replace it with syslog-ng or busybox-syslogd.
Not a good idea to use Debian repos directly. Could possibly get some systemd 'stuff' and the numbering will be different from devuan's merged repo which could affect updates down the line.
#3110 Re: Installation » How to proceed to install the browser midori on Devuan? » 2017-08-12 14:01:49
@brday . . . midori 0.5.11-ds1-2~bpo8+1 is available in backports. Add this to your sources.list, download midori and then disable that repository as upgrading everything from backports is _not a good idea_.
http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-backports main contrib non-freeThen the above commands will be able to find midori.
#3111 Re: News & Announcements » How you can help Devuan » 2017-08-12 13:48:23
Hi.
Who would I communicate with about what 'donating a hosted machine' would entail. I'd be happy to support in this way; I'd need someone to talk (walk!) me through the process and its implications, but in principle and at first glance I may be able to support devuan in this way.
Thanks for the offer, leloft. Please communicate with us on irc libera#devuan-dev or the dng mail list.
#3112 Re: Forum Feedback » How about a Devuan and derivatives graphics/art section for the forum? » 2017-08-10 23:10:24
Why not just start a thread titled something like "Share your customized Devuan graphics"? A good place might be the DIY forum.

. . . with more great icons rather than tango...
Tango icons? There are no Tango icons in the default Devuan Xfce4 desktop theme. Not even installed on my computer.
#3114 Re: Devuan » After Ascii: A Devuan wishlist. » 2017-08-09 18:57:00
@darry1966 . . . I'm not sure how much of the contamination is coming from upstream and how much is being introduced by Debian. As steelpillow mentioned . . . if the upstream source is clean (and init agnostic) we can work around blocks coming from Debian. But if upstream decides not to allow for other options, our work will indeed be much harder. The more traction that Devuan gains, the more leverage we'll have to expect upstream to support what we are doing.
#3115 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » USB 3.0 expresscard detected but not working [SOLVED] » 2017-08-09 18:48:46
I have already been banned once by golinux . . .
Really? From the time on jaromil's archived email (assuming UTC) - https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 43.en.html - I would have been sound asleep when it happened.
As to your sig etc. . . . it is an empty, adolescent gesture that accomplishes nothing of value but does create an environment that is equally toxic as the one that you are opposing. I keep hoping that maybe you'll grow up some day . . .
#3116 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » USB 3.0 expresscard detected but not working [SOLVED] » 2017-08-09 15:21:19
Maybe it needs gvfs to automount?
#3117 Re: Other Issues » iPhone and PTP Camera are not being mounted » 2017-08-08 04:18:55
One more thing to try. I also have libgphoto2-port12 version 2.5.8-1~bpo8+1 installed. This was likely just a fluke because early on amprolla was merging bpo into the main repos. Took me a while to catch on to that so I do have some bpo mixed in that I ordinarily wouldn't have. But perhaps that's what gphoto2 needs? If all else fails, maybe a card reader would work?
#3118 Re: Other Issues » iPhone and PTP Camera are not being mounted » 2017-08-08 03:15:01
I have no idea. Try without. Then the next option would be to log out/in. Then a reboot if all else fails. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Sorry it took me a few days to get around to pulling out the camera to get the info.
#3119 Re: Other Issues » iPhone and PTP Camera are not being mounted » 2017-08-08 03:00:18
I have an old Canon Powershot (PTP) that wouldn't mount on Jessie. I can't remember how I got it working but it now automounts at gphoto2://[usb:001,056]/ with root permissions. A notification pops up and the directory appears in the Thunar side pane tree.
That directory contains these sub-directories,
DCIM - photos are here
MISC - empty
So you might want to install gphoto2 and see if it can find your camera at least. Some searching on the above might give you additional hints. No clues about your phone - don't have one.
#3120 Re: Installation » Official Docker image? » 2017-08-07 21:48:26
@fungus . . . Do you know what Docker is?
@mcandre . . . Found this old thread on the dng mail list. There has been very little discussion of Docker over the years here - mostly lxc. But do search dng and the botbot logs for the freenode#devuan irc channel. You might find a kindred soul to work on Docker for Devuan.
#3121 Re: Devuan Derivatives » do you know when the earliest that gnuetertics will be in english? » 2017-08-06 18:48:57
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?
#3123 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.
