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!
#3178 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
#3179 Re: Off-topic » If you like to write shell scripts and good with math I have a project » 2017-08-19 02:13:32
I am here to find someone who would like to write and share a shell script that duplicates the output of my SQL scripts.
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.
#3181 Re: Off-topic » If you like to write shell scripts and good with math I have a project » 2017-08-19 01:34:25
"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?
#3182 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.
#3183 Re: Off-topic » If you like to write shell scripts and good with math I have a project » 2017-08-19 00:36:36
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.
#3184 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.
#3185 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.
#3186 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2017-08-18 15:39:53
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>

Bienvenue a notre galaxy, Vincent! Merci pour votre 'Installer Devuan GNU+Linux'. Je ne parle pas le Francais depuis beaucoup d'ans mais je peux lire . . .
#3189 Re: Intergalactic Communities » Real-life meetings? » 2017-08-14 12:58:26
Another option . . . this was posted to DNG.
#3190 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.
#3192 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.
#3193 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.
#3194 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.
#3195 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Dyne:bolic? Is there any dev news available? » 2017-08-10 02:06:10
. . . 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.
#3196 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.
#3197 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 . . .
#3198 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?
#3199 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?
#3200 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.
