Dear dev1ners,
Let us not forget that none of us...NONE OF US...are perfect. We are human and make mistakes...whether intentionally or not. Just look at my own personal latest nervous-jerkdown as an example... . I completely blew Miyo out of the water. I lost trust. Yet...there were folks who understood.
With this latest situation, I quickly realized that it was an April Fool's joke after seeing that my "report" of a hack wasn't responded to by an administrator...whom I knew had seen my report. Does that negate the problem that was created? No.
...but we are all human, and we all make mistakes.
Let's not forget that there are real people (who work behind the scenes) to bring us a non-systemd distro...and VERY often, their tireless efforts are without acknowledgment...while things are going good.
I work in water treatment...
No one has anything to say when the water is nice and clear...but let something happen that causes a problem, and they're all over that! LOL! I work holidays and weekends so that folks can have safe water to drink. I think that I've had a total of 3 Christmas days off in the last 25 years (not to mention other holidays and weekends)...but people don't think about that while they're celebrating the holidays with their family...that there is someone working to provide them with a service on a holiday that they're enjoying...or a weekend that they're enjoying...but that guy is having to work...and is missing time with HIS family.
I don't know all of the particulars regarding this incident...but one thing I do know...there are folks who make Devuan available for us, and they rarely receive any fanfare for their efforts and time. They work to provide us a service...much like I do.
We all make mistakes...please cut them/him some slack. Please?

Thanks darry1966. 
Not my style but the video was Great Fun! lol
Thanks catprints. Not my style either...this build was at a user's request. I personally use the Openbox session on it, but periodically use the Compiz session when I'm feeling frisky.
Glad my sense of humor didn't turn everyone off! LOLOLOL!!!

MiyoLinux,
Thank you for your work on Miyo-i3! I am a happy devuan and i3 convert, and I have been looking for a simple installation medium to get me easily rolling with i3 for a while.
Great work on this, and I look forward to leading others your way for their computing needs as well!
Sincerely,
cmul
Hi cmul! Today was the first time I've visited the forum in SEVERAL days, so I'm glad I saw this on the day you wrote it...
Thank you for the kind words, and I'm really happy to know that Miyo-i3 is working well for you! It's always good to know that I've done something right. LOL!
I do hope you enjoy using the system, and thank you so much for taking the time to let me know.
Take care!

Wow! Looks like I've missed a lot since I last visited! Sorry...I've been busy doing taxes, taking online classes to renew my license for my job (240 hours worth and only 1/3 of the way finished), and playing with beowulf builds as I've had the chance.
stanz, I've had those pink symbols before (I don't remember which build(s) they were on). At the time I thought it was strange, and I couldn't find anything to explain it...so I attributed it to some conspiracy brought on by the Illuminati. LOLOLOLOL!!!
I never noticed any side-effects or strange behavior, so I just chalked it up to one of the extra benefits of using Miyo. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

mmm maybe a
dpkg -S loginctlcould shed some light on it. For me, as I don't have that program, I tried
apt-file find loginctlwhich reported it as belonging to systemd. And as far as I can tell, there is no installation candidate for that package in any Devuan repository.
Strange.
I'm using straight beowulf repositories. No outside packages installed other than the Refracta tools (which apparently aren't in beowulf yet?)...and my window themes and custom accessories (that use yad straight from the beowulf repos).
Just for kicks, I did another build on another computer that's even more stripped down (than my normal build) with only beowulf repos and no other additions at all...and loginctl works on it too.
Edited to add: I'm on my phone and can't check that command right now. I'll try it later.
#468 Re: DIY » Input requested regarding Suspend » 2019-02-20 11:00:30
Are you sure? loginctl is in the systemd package .. or rather, where did you get it from?
Ah...this just registered with me (if I understand the question correctly).
I didn't get "it" anywhere. I just saw what someone was using on Manjaro OpenRC in their i3 config file; which was, loginctl ______ .
I didn't install anything extra; I simply tried the commands first from the terminal, and they worked. Now...whether that relates to it working now (in beowulf) as opposed to it continuing to work in the future...I don't know.
Just wanted to clarify that I didn't install anything to give me the ability to use loginctl.
#469 Re: DIY » Input requested regarding Suspend » 2019-02-20 07:18:44

Dagnabit! Just when I thought I was onto something...
I'll see how it plays out...
#470 Re: DIY » Input requested regarding Suspend » 2019-02-20 07:01:02
Ralph, I found it in an old manjaro forum from back when they still had an openrc version.
That loginctl part works on my Beowulf build for shutdown, reboot, and suspend. I haven't tried hibernate yet.
Have I stumbled upon a boo-boo?
#471 Re: DIY » Input requested regarding Suspend » 2019-02-20 04:52:59
Hooray! I F...I...N...A...L...L...Y found the commands that work with elogind for my exit utility!
loginctl poweroff
loginctl reboot
loginctl suspend
loginctl hibernateSo, if this may possibly help anyone else, here's the new code for the exit utility in upcoming MiyoLinux versions based on beowulf...
#!/bin/sh
yad --form --center --undecorated --align=left --width=165 --borders=10 --height=320 --skip-taskbar \
--image=/usr/share/miyolinux/miyo-exit.png --image-on-top \

--field=" Hibernate!gnome-session-hibernate!Hibernate":fbtn "loginctl hibernate" \
--field=" Log Out!gnome-logout!Log Out":fbtn "openbox --exit" \
--button=gtk-cancel --buttons-layout=center \...it still looks the same...
#472 Re: Installation » Beowulf: Link sbin » 2019-02-18 22:06:22
The problem you're running into is the change in root's path when you run su in a terminal. That path no longer contains the sbins. If you use su - instead, you'll get the root path that you're used to. But then you won't be able to start graphical apps as root from that terminal. For that, you're supposed to use pkexec. When you figure all that out, I'll read your posts. Until then, or until someone gives me good reasons not to do this, I'm working around the problem.
# grep PATH /root/.bashrc export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"Oh yeah, the other workaround is to use the full path for commands.
/sbin/blkid /usr/sbin/update-grub
Thanks fsr. The "full path" answer is what I thought of after doing it the way that I did. I wasn't aware of su -. Thanks.
As for opening items with pkexec, I have a couple of apps in the "MiyoLinux Accessories" that run as root. PCManFM and Lxappearance. The way that I solved that was to add a file for both of them in /usr/share/policykit-1/actions/
I just used one of the existing ones as a template and changed each instance of the original application's name in the existing file to the appropriate name of the application that I wanted to use it for in the file I was creating; such as, if I were using the synaptic file as an example, I replaced every instance of synaptic with lxapppearance...hope that makes sense. Also, I changed the icon used and named both files similarly to how the existing files are named.
Anyway, I can now open both PCManFM (as root) and Customize Look and Feel (as root) from the menu using pkexec.

After my latest stab at building a basic Openbox system on the Beowulf .iso, everything is working wonderfully.
I have one question, and I know that this is rather vague...
During the installation, there was an option to link sbin to bin (?). I can't remember exactly what it said...sorry. I'm bad about not reading things. LOL!
Anyway...I chose the default answer of No. Later on, after setting everything up and adding a desktop-grub.png image, I tried to run update-grub and received an error in the terminal that the update-grub command wasn't found. Grrrrrr...
So...I opened the file manager as root, went to the sbin folder, and sure enough...update-grub was there. So I opened the terminal in that folder and ran update-grub successfully.
So my question is...despite the default answer of no, should sbin be linked to bin (or whatever that option was) in Beowulf? I just don't have it in me to go through another installation right now in order to read that message during the installation.

Thank you, but I no longer need Consolekit since obsession works with elogind.

Isn't there consolekit2. There has been recent discussion. and also there are consolekit related packages in beowulf:
libpolkit-backend-1-0-consolekit
libpolkit-gobject-1-0-consolekit
etc.You should probably be on the ML.
Oh...
The last time I tried a straight beowulf build, it was a no-go with consolekit. Perhaps I should try again. LOLOLOLOL!
I've been too busy with the latest i3 versions to test things...
Thank you...I'll look into it when I have time.
I'm the Ultra-Quoter! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Well, I tried a quick basic beowulf Openbox build this evening...there's good news and bad news.
The bad news: still no Consolekit.
The good news: the obsession utility (from the repositories) works with elogind! I can shutdown, reboot, etc with it.
Using lxpolkit (for the authentication agent), still works fantastic for opening things like synaptic too.
Now if I can figure out what commands obsession is using...
