#3276 News & Announcements » Devuan Jessie 1.0.0 stable RC2 » 2017-05-08 05:16:53

We're on a roll! The RC2 was released on Friday and the reviews have been great! Here's an excerpt from one on Distrowatch:
It seems to me that these guys didn't really fork Debian, Devuan is the path that would have been taken if Debian had stayed true to its raison d'etre. Debian chose to fork itself and it did royally.
May Devuan live long and prosper, the true ascendant to the throne.

You can read the official announcement here.

@Sudos . . . Sounds like you didn't see the announcement for the RC2 that was released on Friday. There is a wishlist under the "Anyone can help Devuan!" section that includes hardware. Note that 29 different ARM boards are now supported.
#3278 Re: Other Issues » Update problem » 2017-05-07 20:00:32
Any non-jessie repos in the mix? Even backports can be troublesome.
#3279 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Slim - no user, password field titles » 2017-05-05 19:16:41
FTR, the 'official' color that will be used for the username/password text in the revised devuan-curve-purpy theme is #DAD9DC. The file is here /usr/share/slim/themes/devuan-curve-purpy/slim.theme. Change username_color to #DAD9DC

- Reportbug: I am sorry. I cannot submit a bug using the reportbug since it requires a large installation, which would not match with my minimal clean Linux installation.
- HTML: I have unfortunately no account (login/password/...)
Please reread:
@spartrekus . . . If there is a bug, please submit it to bugs.devuan.org using the reportbug tool OR BY EMAIL. Instructions are on the site here.
There are two methods to report a bug. One is by email. Do you have email? You do not need an account and need to send in plain text not html.

Welcome to the forum! Happy to hear you like the purpy theme. I just had a look at the slim.theme. The problem was that the username_color was identical to the curve background color so the text was there but 'invisible'. Can't remember why we did it that way . . . maybe for a less cluttered look. Anyway, the revised slim devuan-curve-purpy theme with a visible username and password prompt should be in the repos shortly.
#3283 Re: Other Issues » network-manager are working with slim » 2017-05-04 16:16:17
There is a systemd-free version of network-manager in the Devuan repos and I know that it is being used with no bugs filed against it.
#3284 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » networks managers comparison and some notes » 2017-05-04 02:50:03
No mention of Katolaz' setnet? Or edbarx' simple-netaid? Both native to Devuan.

BBCode is now available at the click of a mouse on both the quick reply and regular input areas. So no excuse not to format your posts!
Presentation is important. A wall of text with no visual clues to organize content is difficult to follow and may even reduce the chances of a post being read or an answer given. We hope to build solid documentation for the Devuan community here so please be thoughtful when posting.

Best policy IMO.
It's not offered as an option in this BB template? Small toolbar for the bottom that offers to tag img, url, code, quote etc.?
No. Only third party mods. I couldn't find one compatible with our version. rrq is looking into it. Heck, he could probably write it himself! Some of the recent posts are unreadable so we need to do something . . .
#3287 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » OpenVPN » 2017-04-29 15:04:03
FYI, I have put a link to a list of the BBCode tags available in FluxBB in an announcement at the top of the forum.
#3288 Re: Devuan » Ports Beyond x86/amd64/ARM » 2017-04-27 14:30:23
The limiting factor is hardware availability. If you can supply hardware for testing, we'll be happy to try.
#3289 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » OpenVPN » 2017-04-27 14:09:22
If learning to use BBCode is a prerequisite to using this forum I am in the wrong place. This is not a criticism but a simple fact.
The only tags you are likely to need are code, b and maybe a quote here and there. Is that such a stretch? That being said, we'll look into adding a simple formatting mod.
#3290 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Sound on KDE » 2017-04-26 14:14:08
YES! If you can find the time would be nice if you could edit your previous posts. Thank you!!
#3291 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Sound on KDE » 2017-04-26 06:45:40
@millpond . . . could you please use bb code tags. It would make your post(s) so much easier to follow. Thanks.
#3292 Re: Devuan Derivatives » ZephyrLinux re-branded to Crowz » 2017-04-24 23:07:20
Perhaps we mini guys need to figure out a list of most commonly needed wi-fi and other firmware?
I'm pretty sure that's going to be handled in the Devuan isos in the next round. So just sit back and let the Devuan team sort it for you.
#3293 Re: Installation » BAD sig with Devuan Jessie 1.0.0-RC » 2017-04-24 15:20:36
It's been fixed and is in the process of being automated to eliminate such errors in the future.
#3294 Re: Devuan » Stable release » 2017-04-22 14:32:58
Hopefully, shortly thereafter. Depends on what issues users stumble across with the RC. Once those are fixed, we're good to go stable.

This pretty much sums up what Devuan is about:
Devuan is the Debian that was and could have been.
You can find the announcement on the devuan.org website or on the dng mail list archives..
#3297 Re: Devuan Derivatives » ZephyrLinux re-branded to Crowz » 2017-04-19 15:27:19
Welcome back! When I put it back on the devuan site is it OK to say 'formerly known as Zephyr"? Or is that a nono? I see you did not do that on your new site.
*edit* The deed is done.
#3298 Re: Installation » /etc/apt/sources.list.d/devuan.list » 2017-04-18 13:58:18
Welcome Max_B . . . You might want to take a look at the bottom of this page which talks about the configuration of source repositories. As always, be mindful when enabling repositories other than those for your specific distribution. Many of us have been bitten by unwanted backport updates!
