Hi PeteGozz,
Thanks for the feedback. Any ideas, pointers, tips on how I can fix up my xfce install?
Thanks,
If you're referring to the resolution issue, try xrandr. Actually lxrandr has a nice gui selector.

Is anyone admitting to an oops?
I have the auto-renew bot standing in the corner and going to bed without supper.
#3154 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Any relation between Devuan and antiX/MX? » 2017-07-03 15:49:08
. . .I just found out about AntiX and MX, and it announces itself as "Debian 8.5 (jessie), but systemd-free!"[1].
Seems very similar to Devuan, which is why I ask this question.
When this thread was started, I didn't know much about the MX approach to 'systemd-free'. Then I found this page on the MX wiki which says:
MX Linux ships with systemd present but disabled by default.
So systemd is is disabled as per Debian's instructions but it seems that all the underlying systemd dependencies remain intact which means that there is quite a big difference between what MX and Devuan are doing. Not sure if antix goes further . . .

This is a long-standing issue from the way amprolla works. Workaround is here:

#3157 Re: Documentation » Devuan migration how to » 2017-07-01 04:37:33
Good luck! And for others who may want to go down that road . . . here's a quote from the Debian Wiki. The same goes for Devuan, of course:
Don't make a FrankenDebian
Debian Stable should not be combined with other releases. If you're trying to install software that isn't available in the current Debian Stable release, it's not a good idea to add repositories for other Debian releases. The problems might not happen right away, but the next time you install updates.
The reason things can break is because the software packaged for one Debian release is built to be compatible with the rest of the software for that release. For example, installing packages from Jessie on a Wheezy system will also install newer versions of core libraries including glibc. This results in a system that is not Wheezy or Jessie but a broken mix of the two.
Repositories that can create a FrankenDebian if used with Debian Stable:
Debian testing release (currently stretch)
Debian unstable release (also known as sid)
Ubuntu, Mint or other derivative repositories are not compatible with Debian!
Ubuntu PPAs
#3158 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » caja automatically opens some thumbdrives but not others [SOLVED] » 2017-06-30 22:58:03
Don't manufacturers sometimes put strange data on flash drives that could be causing this? Maybe some 'security' or MS idiot feature?
#3159 Re: Documentation » Devuan migration how to » 2017-06-30 03:44:21
Ubuntu is NOT Debian. The guide specifically says:
This document describes how to upgrade to Devuan Jessie from a Debian Wheezy install or migrate from a Debian Jessie install . . .
Mixing distros/repos, even those based on Debian, can really screw up a Debian/Devuan install and create a Frankende**an.
Backup your data, do a clean install and import your files.

Hi darry1966 and welcome to the forum! Did you know that one of the lead Devuan developers is from NZ?
#3162 Re: Devuan Derivatives » how to setup installer with different desktop rather than Xfce4 » 2017-06-26 19:14:41
You are free to build whatever packages you like in git.devuan.org. Whether they would be adopted as 'default' or 'official' is another matter.
#3163 Re: Devuan Derivatives » how to setup installer with different desktop rather than Xfce4 » 2017-06-26 18:14:29
Ah, so you've moved from documentation to packaging. Now I understand.
I cannot fully answer your question but I do know that Devuan packaging is done with the d1h Devuan packaging helper. Properly built and reviewed packages are usually put in experimental for testing. All this is done on devuan.git.org.

golinux its there any plan to get futer incubation process for users like mentors or similar?
I have no idea what you're asking. Could you please try again?
#3165 Re: Devuan Derivatives » how to setup installer with different desktop rather than Xfce4 » 2017-06-26 15:19:42
The suggestion that your material will be 'taken' is ludicrous. Feel free to post it elsewhere. The wiki is undergoing some changes and your situation there will be resolved shortly.

This is not in our roadmap at all. The prelimiary work I've done to see
if we can gain Wayland support centers around moving drawing to GTK3;
A month or so ago, there was discussion of packaging TDE for Devuan but it hasn't happened yet (and may not)
#3167 Re: Off-topic » backup systems sheet comparison » 2017-06-25 04:16:22
@mckaygerhard . . . Do you have to be so consistently insulting to others on this forum? Why would you expect someone to get excited over something for which they have no use? And why do you demean the solutions that work for them? Reality check . . . you do not have all the answers and your way is not the only way . . .

No need to do that. There are already three black themes available under user profile.
Very impressive. Congratulations
Oh, I had nothing to do with that. They were part of the default FluxBB install. I only did the two purpy themes.

Be careful if you take a long time to write a post. Sometimes posts go 'missing' when it's time to post if you're not cookied with the 'stay logged in' option.
#3171 Re: Installation » ASCII-install notes » 2017-06-22 20:15:28
what formatting tools - this text came from 'geany' editor
the add new post didn't indicate to me any....

whoa - I just clicked on the ? [url tag: on and got a whole new page of formatting info !!!!.
Did you not notice the line of BBCode tags on top of the input box? All that formatting is just a click away.
#3172 Re: Installation » devuan-ascii.list » 2017-06-22 19:47:15
Thanks. Your notes are welcome. Presentation just makes the information more accessible to the eye/brain.
#3173 Re: Installation » devuan-ascii.list » 2017-06-22 19:40:53
created new post "ASCII-install notes"
'
@fsmithred - my focus of this original post is that there is no 'devuan-ascii.list'
golinux refers to it in post "How to update to ascii?" comment #7 - caused @keos many posts
'
the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devuan.list file does contain ascii information
The information I posted for keos can be found on the website at the bottom of this page.
Could you please format your "ASCII-install notes"? As presented it might as well be chicken droppings thrown at a wall to my eye. In fact all of your posts could use some layout love.
#3174 Re: Installation » ASCII-install notes » 2017-06-22 19:34:55
That's really hard to read. Maybe you could use the formatting tools to help users find their way through it?
#3175 Re: Off-topic » Life after Firefox » 2017-06-22 19:05:14
Be calm, and observe.
Good luck with that . . .
