We're all waiting for fsmithred's HOWTO.  wink

I have sadly removed Zephyr from the derivatives list until it is released under a new name.

Unless someone thinks substituting apulse and/or ALSA is a better idea?

If this turns into a discussion regarding apulse inclusion in the Devuan repos etc.it can be moved to Discussion > Devuan.  apulse has been discussed on the dng mailing list and Steve Pusser has already gotten apluse to fool FF 52.  So it's on our radar.  If someone tries to install apluse and can't get it working then that is a legitimate Support issue.  Welcome to the forum btw.  smile

Well, we are 17 years later. wink  An interesting personal story but not really a Devuan support question.  Should probably get moved to OT . . .

#3305 Re: Other Issues » Packages from beyond Dev1 repos » 2017-04-06 14:58:33

@fsmithred  . . . Looks like libdvd-pkg might be a 'free' version of libdvdcss.  Do you have it in your setup and does it get the job done?

How should packages from other projects (outside Dev1 repositories) be brought in?
For example, (a dated version of) vlc is in-repo, but libdvdcss is (apparently) not.

Use repos outside of Devuan's with great care.

I have libdvdcss2 installed from:

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org/ jessie main

You might also want to check out Steve Pusser's private repo.  It has always been a reliable and compatible source.  MX is also free of systemd! Here's his thread on FDN

Sometimes you can find things in the Devuan merged backports:

deb http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-backports non-free contrib main

Well done!  Let's spread the purpy love far and wide!!

<parazyd> i moved to github . . .

#3310 Re: Documentation » Heads, the libre privacy distro, some basic usage » 2017-03-25 14:03:28

@miroR . . . your enthusiasm for heads is much appreciated.  I know that security has been a concern of yours for many years. Could you please enclose the commands in your post(s) in  tags.  It makes it easier for the eye to find them.  smile   Thanks.

#3311 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » AMD Radeon driver » 2017-03-19 16:07:08

You could also give sgfxi a try.  It worked well for my Nvidia driver a few years back using the default settings.  Don't know whether it would find those specific drivers though . . .

#3312 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » No wpa_supplicant or iw? » 2017-03-19 15:12:54

The package manager will see it but won't the version number be different than the Devuan merged one?  Hmmmm, maybe not.  Version in the repos is 0.43 stable.  So it looks like Amprolla has not added any Devuan-specific identification.   So your suggestion should work.  Sorry for the noise.

#3313 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » No wpa_supplicant or iw? » 2017-03-19 01:18:08

Better to download from the devuan merged non-free repos so that updates (if any) will be picked up.  wink

#3314 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] apt-file search not working » 2017-03-18 18:13:28

Could you possibly add that to your Package manager magic incantations?  And while you're there would be nice to have code tags around the commands.  wink

#3315 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] apt-file search not working » 2017-03-17 23:32:35

No worries.  smile  Welcome to the forum btw!

#3317 Re: Other Issues » Helping Out... » 2017-03-14 02:02:56

Did you notice the new forum for gdo projects and issues?.  You might look through the list of issues to see if you have experienced similar and perhaps found a solution you could share.

#3318 Re: Off-topic » Good to see you guys doing so well » 2017-03-03 15:37:08

Nice to see you jheaton5!  Several DUFers have found their way here already.  Speaking of DUF . . . isn't the yearly hosting fee due around this time of the year? Haven't seen a mention of it over there.

#3319 Re: Devuan Derivatives » heads is here! » 2017-03-02 22:09:14

There will be.  I have the same 32 bit problem.  smile

parazyd is walking the talk!  This just posted on the dng list:

heads 0.0 is out!

It finally happened and it's not vaporware!

heads 0.0 is a preview live CD of what heads is going to be about. This release is not intended to be used from a security point of view, but as a showcase and testing point of view.

I am not even completely sure everything is torified, but hey, that's what testing is for, no?

So please, download the ISO from the downloads link in the above navbar and abuse the hell out of it smile

Throughout a certain period, bugs will be fixed within the build system, and patched releases will be released without announcement. So check regularly for 0.0.x releases on the downloads page...

But first, read some notes on it all:

Booting the ISO can be done with some virtualization like qemu or VirtualBox, or it can be dd-ed to a USB flash drive and booted on a laptop. It can be burned to optical media as well.

The MATE desktop environment is not yet included in this release, only AwesomeWM is installed. You can install other environments easily by yourself.

When booted, you will be presented with instructions on how to login, and start a graphical environment. Keep in mind the root password is shown only once and you will have to reboot if you lose access to it.

#3321 Re: Installation » [Solved] Removable media unaccessible as normal user (PCManFM/Thunar) » 2017-02-26 21:30:37

FWIW on my Devuan Jessie Xfce, I have both udisks2 and libsystemd0 installed but not libpam-systemd.  Drives do not automount but do with a click on a right button menu option of the icon that pops up on my desktop.

#3322 Re: Installation » help to install nvidia-legacy-304xx-driver *No devices detected.* » 2017-02-26 16:40:30

I suggested to him that he use sgfxi to auto-sort out the drivers.  Don't know that he ever did.  Disclaimer:  I have not had to do this for several years - using on board graphics atm.  But it always worked perfectly for my old nVidia card.

Not that I've seen.  If only . . .

Anytime.  The is often a burst of activity when Europe is awakening (and we in the US are sleeping).  But there is no clear pattern.  Post and you can check the botbot logs for a response anytime.

#3324 Re: Installation » default login username and password for live Devuan media » 2017-02-23 16:06:50

The definitive answer is in the documentation that is buried at https://files.devuan.org/.  That info should be in the https://files.devuan.org/README.txt file and on the index page of the website.  Currently it is very hard to find.

OK, jaromil has added that info to https://files.devuan.org/README.txt  Will be easier to find now.

What is the issue with ascii and ceres?

Amprolla, that is responsible for the Devuan repos, sometimes lags a bit behind the Debian repos. There are also more packages that need attention as systemd expands its reach.  Focus now is on Jessie. Feel free to join in the effort.
