Thanks. Very useful. I wonder if this would also work for video chat when there is no mouse activity . . .

I think golinux is referring to the original icon, not the customized one. This is how your icon looks on my dark panel.

Don't know why your imgur.com links do not show in my browser. The glow thing looks very blobish. It obfuscates the swoosh.
*edit* LOL! I had an imgur filter in AdBlockPlus

Really minimal . . .

Thanks for the link. My panel is actually the bg color of that icon so all I see is the swoosh.

@Dino . . . you can silence Debian in google searches with the - operator. 
<search term(s)> -debian
I do that all the time for -ubuntu
As I suggested above try freenode #devuan-arm or git to contact parazyd.
There have been issues with beagleboneblack in the past . . .
#3257 Re: Installation » Errors in web page: devuan.org/os/development-kit » 2017-05-22 00:18:02
Dear,
I am trying to install Devuan on beaglebone black and I have found some errors on webpage https://devuan.org/os/development-kit, in "arm-sdk :: toolkit for various ARM embedded devices" the currently supported boards are more then the ones listed (checked in https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk and an other error, a very serious is in "; init devuan raspi2" the correct command is "; load devuan raspi2".
I dont know it this is OT here.Regards
Dino
https://devuan.org/os/development-kit is an obsolete page. How did you find it?
Please go to https://devuan.org/os/distro-kit for the most recent information. There you'll find this link to the current sdk info: https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk
As to the error . . . parazyd doesn't frequent this forum regularly. The best places to discuss arm stuff would be on irc at freenode #devuan-arm or https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk where you can start an issue. It might already be corrected in the current instructions.

@mckaygerhard . . . This is not email! If you used the BBCode 'quote' tag, your post would be more readable. Most needed tags are available at a click right above the input areas. Thanks.

The QT VLC did not work for me when it was first installed on jessie. I ended up snatching the GTK version from Wheezy which works just fine. Of course that's a very short term solution . . .
Interesting, was that using Xfce?
Yes.

#3263 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Redshift fails to start - .service files missing? » 2017-05-18 15:18:59
Would it be worth installing the latest testing kernel on Devuan while I still have ascii in my sources.list?
Disable the ascii repo. Add the Devuan backports repo and try that kernel first. I think it's at least 4.9 something.
#3264 Re: Devuan » Feedback devuan rc2 » 2017-05-18 01:50:03
@pekman . . . you can't get more minimal than the minimal-live isos. You can build up from there.
#3265 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Where are the refracta scripts? » 2017-05-17 17:04:25
@GNUser . . . Even though many of us have been using refracta tools for a long time, software new to Devuan starts in experimental works up to -proposed and then when thoroughly tested moves up to the current release.

A place for Dev1Galaxy users to communicate in their native language(s). I'm hoping some Romulans or Klingons will show up!!
#3268 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Redshift fails to start - .service files missing? » 2017-05-16 18:14:23
You probably don't want to upgrade to ascii - it is a bit broken atm. Just enable the ascii repo to get that one package then disable it immediately. Along the way, there may be unresolved dependencies and installing from different releases always has a risk of 'unintended consequences'. Depends how adventurous you are and on your tolerance for breaking things. Of course it may be perfectly fine. Your choice.
Look at the bottom of this page for source information.
Note that I am very conservative while others think nothing of leaping into the unknown.

The showstopper is Mate not Devuan.
#3270 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Redshift fails to start - .service files missing? » 2017-05-16 17:00:33
Would be better to get the pkg from Devuan Ascii than Debian Stretch to avoid conflicts down the line. No guarantee that either one won't break jessie though . . .
#3271 Re: Other Issues » Why excellent, non for business, Motif softwares will die? (Ex.TeD) » 2017-05-14 20:25:03
If someone (perhaps you?) adopts abandoned software and packages it properly for Devuan, it will eventually work its way into the Devuan repos.

@hughparker1 . . . I'm pretty sure you won't have to reinstall. Just an update/upgrade should get you to the stable release. That looks like Russian to me also. Locales must be confused . . .
#3273 Re: Other Issues » MySQL » 2017-05-14 15:04:27
Hi and welcome. This forum is running on Devuan with postgresql just fine. And I don't remember ever seeing a post on the dng mailing list about sql. So I assume it works just fine with Devuan.
#3274 Re: Devuan Derivatives » List of Devuan derivatives » 2017-05-14 04:49:32
I just updated the derivatives list. Apologies for neglecting it for so long.. The list on the website should now be in sync with the one here. Thanks for your patience.

The love that's been coming Devuan's way has been great but it would be even better if that love transformed into more volunteers helping to improve every aspect of Devuan. Now that we're turning our attention to Ascii, there is certainly plenty to do! Feedback is essential for Devuan to grow and prosper. Here are some ways you can help:
Report a bug - If you think you have found a bug in a Devuan package, please report it to http://bugs.devuan.org, either by using the reportbug tool or directly via email
Fix a bug - If you think you know how to fix an existing bug, please report the solution in the corresponding page on http://bugs.devuan.org, or, better, roll-up your sleeves, implement the fix, and get in touch with the development team on IRC (#devuan-dev on libera) to have your patch included in the official repos
Share the love - If you would like a package to be included in Devuan, please consider joining the development team by taking charge of packaging and maintaining it. https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documenta … aintainers
How can we improve? - If you have comments about the website and/or other public aspects of Devuan, please get in touch with jaromil or golinux
Devuan has a wishlist! As we grow, the need for community participation and hardware and financial support increases. Here are some suggestions that will help move us along:
Test new Devuan packages - When packages are built specifically for Devuan, we need feedback about how they work. This is something that any Devuan user can contribute!
Host a mirror - Have extra bandwidth? Please consider hosting a mirror of Devuan images/repos. Get in touch with Devuan developers on IRC at #devuan-dev` on libera to discuss details
Build a local community - Devuan encourages multi-lingual support and localized groups. Consider setting up additional support options on the dev1galaxy forum or an email list or IRC channel etc., in your native language. Here are some suggestions to get you started: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1498#p1498
Translate language packs for FluxBB - This contribution would allow local communities to use the dev1galaxy.org forum in their native language. So far Polish, Italian, Swedish and Croation are in process. See: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1528
Contribute RTFM stuff - Documentation and/or translations in any language are needed. Contributions could go into https://wiki.devuan.org or https://dev1galaxy.org/viewforum.php?id=7
Donate an ARM development board (50$-100$) (contact parazyd parazyd@dyne.org / #devuan-arm)
Donate an ARM or ARM64 build host (50$-200$) (contact parazyd parazyd@dyne.org / #devuan-arm)
