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 . . .
#3128 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.
#3129 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.
#3131 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 . . .
#3135 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.
#3136 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:

#3141 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.
#3142 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.
#3143 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.
#3144 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.

Well, I do! I like stable and boring and only try new things when absolutely necessary.
#3146 Re: Devuan Derivatives » List of Devuan derivatives » 2017-07-24 22:24:53
I guess you can tell people through your wiki that with Devuan, you can make it your own.
Yes. That's a good part of what derivatives are all about. Make it your own and pass it on. Many candles lit from one flame . . .
#3147 Re: Documentation » Devuan Documentation (structural draft) » 2017-07-24 22:01:17
golinux you not understand.. i'm not asking for missing pieces.. i said that i not linked my content to main pages due are in draf and "WIP"
i ask why are stopped and now u answered.. in reestructuration.. but that nothing to do with the work i was doing.. but whatever..
Some of your work may be be salvageable when we can find time to sort it out. But the effort required may exceed the usefulness of the material. Currently it is too rough and unpolished to be on the wiki proper for reasons stated elsewhere.
#3148 Re: Documentation » Devuan Documentation (structural draft) » 2017-07-24 21:08:33
umm if you said do not see deeply, so then do you noted tht are draft and preliminary materials not linked to main page? i also can see much material not well prepared ...
wel in nay case.. well done documentation are very disperse and not consisten
The wiki is in the process of being very thoughtfully restructured. Right now it is mostly in outline format with current content moved to more suitable locations. Eventually all the missing pieces will appear.
#3149 Re: Documentation » Devuan Documentation (structural draft) » 2017-07-24 19:14:04
you cited degradation in the material.. where?
I did not see or deal with any of that as I only recently started to pay much attention to the wiki. It was handled by the wiki admin. But I have seen some of it in the in the versioning and I am still seeing your 'corrections' of "major" to "mayor" here and there. "Mayor" in English is the title of an elected official who runs a local town/city government.
#3150 Re: Documentation » Devuan Documentation (structural draft) » 2017-07-24 17:03:41
You will find your contributions to the wiki here.
They may or may not be relocated elsewhere. The technical information would have to be vetted for accuracy. And language use is often incomprehensible with many spelling and grammatical errors (as is illustrated by your post above). Without knowing what you are trying to say, it is impossible to edit to clarify. Your offerings are also peppered with judgmental assessments that have no place in documentation and would need to be removed (as in this post). To do all of that is a monumental task so will take some time to sort out. To make matters worse you were editing previous contributions in a negative way by introducing more language errors and 'opinions' which were degrading the wiki content.
For now please keep posting to your website to make that information available.
