It worked for me when policykit was being headstrong. I just hopped on a different horse. Just ignore if you want to solve within policykit. Sorry for the noise.
Have you tried gksu?
Probably been over a year since I tried Vivaldi. I liked it, but there were hardly any plugins available for it at the time. Perhaps I should revisit it?
It's using plugins from the Chrome app store. Isn't that the road that FF has taken also?
One of my favorite alternative browsers is Slimjet. Built off Chromium, but it uses less RAM than Chromium and Firefox. One downside is that it has to be reinstalled when new versions are released. It's easily done with .deb packages though.
Hmmm. . . Never heard of that one . . .
We all know the time is coming. There is a thread over at Mozillazine - Which Browser for You After Firefox 57? - that I occasionally look at. Last night a mention of Vivaldi caught my eye and I did something I rarely do . . . I installed it! I was prepared for a quick uninstall but was surprised that I actually am liking it. First thing was to get Adblock Plus on there. The syntax is a little different than I'm used to but workable. There is a nice neutral gray theme. Video works ootb and even jitsi! Not too happy with the licensing though. Has anybody else given it a spin?
I'm not understanding this. Is it a question (about an existing forum somewhere) or a request (for a space on this forum)? If you want to discuss that here, the DIY forum would be a good place. Moving since it is not a support question regarding Devuan Jessie.
This is wrong and it makes me angry.
Pissed a lot of people off. Don't get angry. Get busy and create an alternative. Don't expect corporations to do it for you . . .

Is this a bad joke? I hope so. The linked-to page says nothing about PulseAudio.
You certainly are out of the loop:

Search here and on dng for apulse which is a solution
Could I change these sources somehow to perform a conversion to devuan ascii? If so, what would the process be?
I don't think it's possible to go from stretch to ASCII. The upgrade feature was only intended for going from Debian Wheezy or Jessie to Devuan Jessie. I think ASCII will require a new install.
It is, somewhat halfly still is mostly gtk2 but wants gtk3 some mate apps are gtk3... while current MATE upstream is all gtk3.
Xfce has also jumped the gtk3 shark . . .
(Shouldn't this be under Desktop?)
It's OK here. It's a show-and-tell not a support question. ![]()
Ooo! Do these affect Synaptic too? (I read somewhere it needs GTK 2 theme files or something).
Synaptic needs a compatible GTK3 theme or it breaks badly. I keep sending folks to this link to help them understand the magnitude of the problem (which just keeps getting worse).
We are maybe too old for Linux. Linux is getting heavy, bloated, ... and it is ready for cool kids. Don't you think that we shall consider using BSD rather than Linux?
I say let's teach those kids what Linux should be.
I know I'm not going down quietly . . .
Whew . . . that was a novella!
I have a catfish search launcher in the Xfce panel with this command:
catfish --path=%f%dBut just now I added a new launcher by typing "catfish" in the dialog and the command "catfish" and the catfish icon were automatically entered. Both launchers seem work the same - will search wherever/whatever I want. I have NEVER been asked to update the database or for root PW when using catfish.
So that's not launched in Thunar but here's something I discovered by accident the other day. Go to a directory in Thunar. Then if you "ctrl + s" a "search pattern" dialog should pop up. Has not yet failed to find what I need but it's localized to that directory.
Discussion here: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=606 Why not download from here https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/ ? Be careful with third party repos . . .
Perhaps the motivation to deprecate support of older hardware comes from (new) hardware vendor "contributions"?
Contributions? Maybe. That somehow seems very old fashioned. I think it's more complicated than that. There are those eager to have us use newer hardware that is compromised by trackers and snoopers and phone home 'features' that compromise our privacy and freedom . . .
But keep in mind that in the list of minor planet names, our next release should be ASCII - all caps!. File names will still be lower case of course.
FANTASTIC!! Thanks so much for putting that together!
Thanks for putting that together. It's probably a good idea to have that info somewhere on the site. Now to find the right place for it . . . maybe in a float to the right of the mirrors list. I'll fiddle with that when I have a chance . . .
Nice thought to do that pekman! Someone was asking about the colors earlier today and I completely forgot about responding so this will come in handy.
Your palette is in the ballpark but several of those colors are not in the purpy theme for the website. And several colors are missing like the orange link hover color #C2540D. I have copied the purpy theme css below so you can get all the correct colors. Note that the colors are subtle and nuanced at different locations of the site:

}Indeed. This from today's release announcement:
If you are already using Devuan Jessie RC2, a simple apt-get update && apt-get upgrade will be enough to get the latest updates.
Hello! how many "problems" for the French language?
Greetings phylophyl! It seems like the French translation is mostly completed. There are some phrases unique to the mods on this forum. I can email you the files with instructions of what is needed if you'd like to have a look.
What iso did you use?
Like Debian until 2020 and possibly beyond
