Yes, it will fit with space to spare, if memory serves me right, it's about 4~5GB installed.
#303 Re: Off-topic » Lennart Poettering (Systemd) Lands at Microsoft After Leaving Red Hat » 2022-10-15 09:07:54
So, MS wants to go Linux, quite a good move on their part, (they've been there before), but why on earth put it on top of their 'Windows' system!
To be honest, I won't miss systemd or pulseaudio, I prefer not to use them anyway... 
But....if Linux gets too much more commercialized, I'll be going to the BSDs for my computers. 
#304 Re: Devuan » Devuan kFreeBSD » 2022-10-14 08:52:09
I don't really see the point...
Why use a kernel from another O/S - just 'Devuanize' one of the BSDs, if it's the look & feel that you're after.
Alternately, get on board the Hurd project, it was designed to work with GNU (Linux) software utilities.

Did you 'save settings' on shutdown(?).
#306 Re: Other Issues » No Sound ALSA » 2022-10-08 14:19:55
I had a problem with sound, I switched over from a VGA monitor to a HDMI without built in speakers, but when I went back to the VGA monitor, everything was working fine - I don't think pulseaudio takes that fact into consideration, because I had it set to analogue stereo, which should have worked via the audio out socket.

It's not meant to allow all encompassing usage, that's what su is for. 
#308 Re: Installation » Installing from USB thumb drive » 2022-10-03 16:38:34
I think @Camtaf is talking about desktop-live, which is a different alternative that many people prefer.
Yes, sorry, both 'live' versions have been updated, & I assumed that the 'desktop' would have been too, 'my bad', as some say.
#309 Re: Installation » Installing from USB thumb drive » 2022-10-03 09:11:49
Latest version is 4.0.2 - try that.

For anyone who is interested in having a look, (not 11.1.0, but will give you the idea of what it was) - https://sourceforge.net/projects/archiveos/files/s/sharpbang/sharpbang-buster-10.2.0-i386.hybrid.iso/download

Fluxbox is king as far as I'm concerned, but basically any WM is better than a DE, I'd even take JWM.......
#313 Re: Installation » Installing from USB thumb drive » 2022-10-02 08:41:45
It's likely something to do with Rufus, I've had no problems with using dd to create installer pendrives.
#314 Re: Off-topic » Xfce 4.18 at Christmas » 2022-10-01 16:41:32
I too, was a #! user, until its demise, found AntiX & enjoyed my stay there, until 'new blood' kept putting more & more into the menus & making it less like it was when I found it, hence why I'm now here; I still prefer a lightweight WM distro, but Devuan Live is as easy to install as AntiX was, & I'm getting older & lazier - Devuan is my main distro now.

Debian has a version of their installation available if you want to go down that road.
https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port
Otherwise,

#316 Re: ARM Builds » raspberry pi3 chimaera install "from scratch" » 2022-09-26 17:01:23
I use the ones here - https://arm-files.devuan.org/
Unzip it, then image write it to your card, (I use dd).
#317 Re: DIY » Convert mp4 to mp3 » 2022-09-22 14:47:36
Yes, I had to remove the .mp4 too, again, I used sed.
##To remove .mp4 from *.mp4.mp3 files
for file in *; do mv "$file" $(echo "$file" | sed -e 's/.mp4././g'); done#318 Re: DIY » Convert mp4 to mp3 » 2022-09-20 15:06:21
Yep, it's me again....
Thanks for the extra info though, this kind of thread gets read by more than those who post them, so any extra is always welcome.
#319 Re: Documentation » HOWTO : enable pasting linefeed-separated commands into bash terminal » 2022-09-20 15:00:19
Hmm, I prefer it not automatically reacting - I use shell scripts if I want multi instructions operated.
(I only had one instance of auto executing on some other distro, & thought it to be a rather dodgy set up, needless to say, I ditched that particular distro promptly).
Still, we're all different, & like different things - just adding my two penneth to let our devs know that some like it how it is.

Convert mp4 to mp3
I have a load of mp4 files with spaces in their names, the first line replaces the spaces with _ so that the second line can convert them to mp3.
#!/bin/sh
for f in *; do mv "$f" `echo $f | tr ' ' '_'`; done
for X in *.mp4;do ffmpeg -i $X $X.mp3;done#321 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] external NVMe SSD is piggish » 2022-09-19 09:22:04
USB3 has great read speeds, but I've found the write speeds to be all over the place, some of my USB3 pendrives only write at 10mbs!
USB2 pendrives write much faster than these.

Didn't know either - I've only ever added something to a wiki page once, maybe twice, but that was years ago - I've totally forgotten how they work.
Took a quick look at the opening page, there seem to be an awful lot of sections to contend with.......?!

#323 Re: News & Announcements » PeppermintOS now Debian base & soon Devuan based » 2022-09-13 18:34:14
Peppermint is now a derivative of Devuan, like MIYO, Crowz, Star, etc.
Basically, they are offering their (present, & future users) the option of a systemd free version, that's all.
#324 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Realtek USB wifi stick RTL8188FTV » 2022-09-11 09:32:14
I found out something else about these wifi sticks & Ubuntu yesterday - the live system sees & uses then, but when I installed Ubuntu on a spare computer, it didn't find & use them, (tried a couple of times, in case it was my lack of experience with Ubuntu) - they seem to use a .bin file - so I'm thinking these are Windows drivers.
I guess I'll just keep on swapping my other wifi sticks around, until we have some proper Linux drivers for them.
#325 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Realtek USB wifi stick RTL8188FTV » 2022-09-10 14:10:56
I installed 5.18 from backports, but unfortunately, they still didn't work. 
(However, on a whim, I tried them under an Ubuntu live session, & they worked - so hopefully, all I've got to do is find the right modules & put them into my Devuan installations. )
