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

DOH! I "almost" put a light circle around the icon. Maybe I should do that when I have time. Thank you golinux. smile

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 . . .

Sliver of light

(It gets lost in all the brightness here)

#3382 Re: DIY » My "Slightly" Customized Devuan Menu Icon » 2017-05-22 23:50:19

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.    wink 

<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 . . .

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.   smile

The QT in VLC aggravates me too, unfortunately the other bad thing about VLC is that it has become almost the only game in town. Everything just always works, and that's a great comfort to someone trying to make a user-friendly system.

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.

FWIW, I only have ntp installed and my Xfce clock is fine.

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.

@pekman . . . you can't get more minimal than the minimal-live isos.  You can build up from there.

#3392 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.

Oops.  Fixed.  Thanks for catching that.

A place for Dev1Galaxy users to communicate in their native language(s).  I'm hoping some Romulans or Klingons will show up!!

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.

#3397 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 . . .

#3398 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 . . .

#3400 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.
