#701 Re: Installation » First experiences and contact with Daedalus » 2023-11-28 15:49:54
All the previous versions always had newer themes and icons after the update. Daedalus has nothing of the sort. Somehow Daedalus doesn't really seem to be finished.
Yes, there is a Daedalus "Sapphire" theme and it is in the repos. It should be the default with an Xfce install. You can also install from the files at https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documenta … t/graphics .
That being said . . . beginning with Excalibur there will no longer be custom theming unless someone steps up to do it. The previous themes will remain in the repos/git until they no longer function properly with gtk3 "advances".

#704 Re: Other Issues » Seriously? » 2023-11-26 16:42:53
Just did an update like normal on Excalibur/Ceres on my main desktop . . .
Please note that Excalibur is "testing" while Ceres is "unstable" so breakage is to be expected . . .
Please review Devuan releases.

@oneofthehorses . . .
You are not the first to suggest a Mint Edition of Devuan. Back in 2018 someone contacted me about doing just what you are proposing but it never materialized . . .
Are you aware that Devuan has a thriving list of "Devuan Derivatives"? Feel free to do your thing and offer it there.

The dumbing down of interfaces and infantilisation of users is a trend that needs to stop.
It concentrates power at the top which is the whole point of infantilizing users.

Welcome to the forum, Gnostic!
Have you looked at the README?
Did you download from here?
It can take a while to figure out where things are . . . 
One more question . . . should this be moved to ARM builds where the ARM folks hang out? I may do that later . . .
#711 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Strategies to deal with .xsession-errors » 2023-11-11 04:05:59
@ralph.ronnquist . . . Thanks! That sounds like a good solution for me. You know how pointy-clicky I've gotten in my old age so will likely take me a few days to summon my inner nerd . . . LOL!
#712 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Strategies to deal with .xsession-errors » 2023-11-11 01:52:29
Thanks to both of you!
@Altoid . . . How embarrassing that I didn't even think to search this forum. 
I'll go stand in a corner now . . . 
@ralph.ronnquist . . .
1. Can sending ./xsession-errors to /dev/null be undone? There might come a time when it would be needed. I'm assuming yes by just removing those bits described.
2 and 3: Would either or both of those options require any action on my part? Or could they be configured to only save one or two entries? I'm hoping to never have to see that file again!
I can remember when the entries were actually fixable and it was a bit of fun to do so. Complexification is such a bottomless pit . . . LOL!

I don't check .xsession-errors often and when I did a few days ago, it had grown to over 32mb. This is unacceptable. Is it possible to set a size limit or delete every x number of days?
Here are some of the offenders filling it up:
[31798:22:1026/153257.134355:ERROR:webrtc_voice_engine.cc(2678)] Attempting to get contributing sources for SSRC:507546440 which doesn't exist.
This is the worst offender by the tens of thousands. I thought it might be from jitsi but I just connected and there was no error recorded. Maybe it's triggered by incoming data from other users?
Then I poked YouTube. No action on the file.
Maybe incoming data is triggering it?
Then there is this pattern of long lists with different % of whatever . . . A search draws a blank on this one . . .

A: 00:00:06 / 00:00:07 (84%)
Other entries are repeated warnings and errors for GTK*, dbus*, xfce4*, theme parsing, application errors etc. I am surprised it works at all!
Please share your knowledge and favorite remedies . . .
#714 Documentation » Revert recent changes to file viewing options in FF » 2023-11-10 16:51:27

Recently, FF has changed how to view PDF files from an internet source. Instead of opening in atril as directed and expected, they were actually being permanently downloaded to various locations in my home directory. 
Thanks to DelTomix, there is a way to revert to the previous behavior by altering these 5 files in about:config:
- browser.download.improvements_to_download_panel - set to false
- browser.download.useDownloadDir - set to false
- services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.download.useDownloadDir - set to false (I don't sync)
- browser.download.start_downloads_in_tmp_dir - set to true
- browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel - set to false
Additionally, you might also want to double check the FF Settings options. It seems that FF would prefer that you open those documents in your browser rather than in your local environment and that 'local' option is getting harder to find. Sneaky!
I'll punt to DelTomix to fill in additional details.

If that is a typo, it needs to be corrected. If that is what you actually tried to install, try non-free-firmware instead.

It is not on the banned packages list so we must do something creative to transform it.

UnixMan1230 . . . What exactly do you mean by "systemd source". Are you talking about files like these?
#721 Re: Documentation » Woo-hoo! Got my print server/printer working on Daedulus » 2023-10-24 15:31:42
From the Beowulf release notes. It's always a good idea to read them. 
Changes in su
- The behavior of su has changed. Use 'su -' to get root's path or use
the full path to commands if you use only 'su'.
- There are several ways to get the old behavior. The easiest is to
edit /etc/default/su to add the line:ALWAYS_SET_PATH yes

Of course not but that's not where most of your posts should be. At least it seemed like most this morning were not help-related.

Devuan package repositories are exclusive. Other repositories, including Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc, should NOT be used directly.
