There is what I believe to be a dual post or topic concerning the same issue.
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5133 "Temporary failure resolving 'deb.devuan.org' "
Perhaps some helpful info!

I too have been getting issues last few days with deb.devuan.org, using Crowz. After exhausting a lot of effort and time, I started looking elsewhere for the problem. I noticed my Devuan Xfce install had zero problems doing a full update.
I removed connman-gtk and installed network-manager & network-manager-gnome, and it works as it should.

#28 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] What is your view on major distros dropping X11 and requiring Wayland? » 2024-01-18 23:51:43

Linus Torvalds said he had no problem for a developer making a profit from their endeavors. Already there are a few distros and won't mention names. My observation and use suggest only a part of that distribution works. Better to be small, than a monster with a kitchen sink thrown in. Trying to provide everything for everyone is quite a task. I will continue keeping Crowz as small as possible and be fun. The approach for a well-designed proprietary distro may not be around yet, but think LMDE is close.
Crowz is no where perfect, it's stays in a constant state of polishing. Perhaps being a little rough around the edges are perhaps appreciated.

But after that, nothing else.It's been dragged onto the forum a few times, I won't use it. It is a harvester of info from I understand.
Does anyone have a good sub, or alternate. I liked clipit because of size, and simplicity.

Exactly, whatever happened to NOT fixing what's NOT broken!
I'm still having issues with clipit, replaced by Diodon and laced with zeitgeist.

The "Readme" on the Crowz Sourceforge download site has some good info regarding where the "Install" icon is located in the file manager PCManFM, and use "live" for the password.

You are very welcome, will do my best to help you get a clean, safe install

I have 2 desktop machines with all 6 sata drives in use, learned my lesson a few times just writing to a USB drive or formatting. So easy to open a quick swap bay door and change the assigned location. On the other hand, easy to open all the doors except the one you want to write to.

Ron wrote: How easy to use is the installer that comes with Crowz? I'm used to the refracta installer, and am a little concerned about goofing something up, as I have 2 hard drives in my rig.
Your concern is understandable, have written over a drive I had not intended before with an installation. There is a page in the installation which is "formatting" and the intended drive can be selected. If it is all possible, isolate the other drive by disconnecting it physically for a good measure.

Camtaf wrote: My apologies, I thought that I remembered you & Miyo discussing how to do some things on here
I liked and enjoyed using MIYO's builds, but no collaboration between our two. We asked each other questions on a regular base and i introduced live-build system to MIYO. But there was never a 3rd party involvement with our distros other than live-build and live-sdk build systems.
Pehaps down the road a bit, Dan (MIYO) and I could work on a project, I would readily except that.
I don't know what happened to my lead dev Ozi, I have my hope and prayers he will pop up a again, just hope he is ok!
No apologies needed, just wanted to clear the air who was doing what with Crowz.

Crowz was Zephyr, has been around years before MIYO, Crowz is a rebrand of Zephyr that solely created by me and Ozi of Star! I have no idea who told you that but simply not true. No input has ever been requested by either myself or Ozi. Although I think Dan is an awesome person and MIYO is a super derivative. .

Your excitability is unwarranted, Star is no longer being maintained due to the inability of the developer. After a long illness, he has dropped from communication. Ozi's current status is unknown.

Had no idea that DistroWatch was planning to review first Crowz 5.0 release. There were a few areas I wanted to fix and I did. I was on a fix mission, but aware of the libc upgrade.
I'm hoping for Devuan to do a point release and then have a newer and much more polished Crowz.

Thank you, I thought so too. There had been new releases prior to the review on 10/7 and also some tidying up on SourceForge to remove archived releases that are no longer supported. Crowz Beowulf 32-bit i686 isos are still current and can be upgraded.

Looking for an opportunity to upload an updated version.

After each release, I do unfortunately have some bulk-size issues, and normally resolve to find the hiding culprits! Some call it "cruft", certainly not needed that I see ATM, sometimes brought in by new software perhaps.
Still looking
Thanks for your input!
