#3176 Re: Devuan Derivatives » how to setup installer with different desktop rather than Xfce4 » 2017-06-22 18:56:11
i working on something to publicite a how to and good documentation due the git devuan doc project seems was death some "years" ago (exactly 2).. take easy...
The placeholder on git has never been developed. Devuan documentation is currently being developed on the Friends of Devuan wiki. That may eventually be moved to Doc Devuan.
With all due respect . . . you do not have the language skills to write acceptable documentation in English. Please focus you energies elsewhere.
#3177 Re: Devuan Derivatives » how to setup installer with different desktop rather than Xfce4 » 2017-06-22 18:48:09
. . . or i assumed its a copy based that only remove systemd and then release?
Please don't equate your assumptions with fact.
so then dont change the name.. only put "Debian-sysvinit derivative" and get on the Debian derivates list
It is painfully obvious how little you know about Devuan. Rather than clogging this board with (mostly useless) posts perhaps you should start reading the DNG mailing list archives to get up to speed.
.. please men!
Please get a clue that there are not only 'men' on the Devuan team.
#3178 Re: Forum Feedback » available forum skins/themes » 2017-06-22 18:34:15
FluxBB hasn't accumulated many such themes. Most themes it has seem old, selection is limited.
Currently there are 10 non-purpy themes available from the user profile on this board. Anyone who doesn't like the default is free to choose one of those or do as follows . . .
Perhaps you (and others with similar concerns) could contribute some, and demonstrate? It is Open-Source … and may be easier than you think - especially with their community's encouragement.
You can also find alternate FluxBB themes here. They may or may not work on this version of FluxBB so YMMV.

#3180 Re: Documentation » Draft: "Devuan fact sheet" » 2017-06-22 16:08:26
You are confusing the contents of the 'Quick Overview' (contained in the table) with the content of the webpage. The link to Dec Devuan is an invitation for participation to create documentation.
#3181 Re: Documentation » Draft: "Devuan fact sheet" » 2017-06-22 16:04:22
so then not post that link! the project of documentation seem 2 years inactive! so there's no project at all
Where exactly are you seeing a link to that? Sometimes links are to offer information. Sometimes links are to encourage participation.
#3182 Re: Documentation » Draft: "Devuan fact sheet" » 2017-06-22 15:57:39
Please the link https://git.devuan.org/groups/devuan-doc seems no have activity.. but the sheet sayd "several".. i only see two sources... debian and the "inactive" link or i mean no activity!
Why? There is currently no useful information there. A final version of the Quick Overview lives here on the website:

Please read more carefully. I did not use the word 'destructive'. Why would you think that YOUR bugs would be top priority for anyone but YOU!
#3184 Re: Forum Feedback » available forum skins/themes » 2017-06-22 15:21:38
jajaja dont want to make a change!
Well, there you have it. If you don't like it feel free to go elsewhere.
i search a little i not the only one complaints with the theme...
So what? Nothing is ever 100% pro or con. This is life. Please get over it and move on.

I think you completely misunderstood what I was trying to say. That would mirror the fact that I (and others) understand very little of what you write. But even though the content is garbled, your combative, aggressive, arrogant attitude is clear and inappropriate. Maybe you need a time out . . .
Or you can stop bitching and start doing something constructive to undo what is being done . .
#3187 Re: Documentation » Draft: "Devuan fact sheet" » 2017-06-22 01:19:05
If that is an official Devuan installation image, then why isn't it to be found in the Devuan release archive?
@msi . . . It is here at the link that Pekman provided above. It is one of the netboot images. No reason to single it out for a special mention that I can see.
#3188 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Repositories in Synaptic post fresh install » 2017-06-21 22:10:56
Curious: Your first post lists 3 repositories with a prefix of deb-src.
You would only need deb-src if you are compiling packages.
Furthermore, Debian and Devuan are not exactly the same, so I anticipate differences exist or will soon come to exist.
Devuan would not exist with changes to the core of how Debian works. Currently the number of packages involved is relatively small but will increase as Debian/Gnome continues down the rabbit hole.
#3189 Re: Installation » [solved] How to update to ascii? » 2017-06-21 16:25:37
I have never used /etc/apt/sources.list.d and use synaptic all the time . . .
#3190 Re: Installation » [solved] How to update to ascii? » 2017-06-20 17:37:13
You should not have jessie in your sources. Golinux pasted jessie sources by mistake and neither you nor I noticed it. Didn't it seem odd to you that you were adding jessie sources after you removed them to upgrade to ascii?
Oops . . . sorry about that . . .
@fsmithred . . . Thanks for fixing my misstep . . .

#3193 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [solved] Problems to open synaptic icon. » 2017-06-20 14:42:27
I have a gksu synaptic launcher stacked in the Xfce panel so never have to open from the menu or desktop. 
Ditto other root accessible apps.
#3194 Re: Installation » [solved] How to update to ascii? » 2017-06-20 14:38:37
That is what is recommended for jessie on the homepage of devuan.org:
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie main
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-updates main
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged jessie-security mainHere are the same ones for ascii:
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii main
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii-updates main
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii-security main#3195 Re: Installation » [solved] How to update to ascii? » 2017-06-20 14:06:48
You might do better using 'auto' rather than 'us' mirror
#3196 Re: News & Announcements » AWS AMI Devuan available » 2017-06-19 02:49:28
This just posted on #devuan:
<batmore> golinux,fsmithred,rrq: I checked out Amazon Web Services, Devuan-1.0-TLS by maurorappa... Amazon image for people to use within AWS env. Very nice installation and setup. Far and away better than my AWS instance. The docs for the image are straight forward and correct. You end up with a usable simple install of Devuan Jessie 1.0 with TLS effective (security). I recommend it as the base, goto AWS AMI image to use within Amazon clo
<batmore> golinux,fsmithred,rrq: for reference... the aws ami image I produced was an adaption of an earlier Debian Wheezy, that was upgraded to Devuan Jessie v1.0. Mine ends up using xilinux for boot rather than grub(2). Mine is simpler, but maurorappa's image is more true to current Devuan Jessie setup/config. cheers
Well done maurorappa!! This is a great addition to our image library.

mini.iso => 40MB
I'm not seeing that in the Devuan repos. Link?
#3199 Re: Documentation » Draft: "Devuan fact sheet" » 2017-06-18 03:50:48
minimal.iso is missing In Available images
No, it's there - Minimal Live (~300MB) - unless you're thinking of something else . . .

Hello,
I would like to donate a amount of money on behalf of my company. Will I receive a statement or document I can put in my accountancy?
Many thanks for your work on Devuan.

Hi gorisis . . .
Thank you for supporting Devuan! If you need a special receipt other than the one from transferring funds from your account, you should talk to jaromil at freedom at devuan dot org to see if that's possible.
