You are not logged in.
The scripts in /etc/cron.* and /etc/rc.local will run as root. Any that you set in your desktop startup apps will run as your user.
Hmm... okay, just one thing comes to mind though, how would this work in openrc?
I cannot find /etc/rc.local and I am not completely sure what a script is supposed to look like when it is set to do a command.
I ask because, isn't /etc/rc.local a sysvinit function?
For every hour, you could put a script in /etc/cron.hourly.
For running something upon login, you would probably put it in some file that gets sourced at login or in your desktop's startup apps. (e.g. .bashrc, .profile, .xsettings, or other. I'm not sure what's most appropriate.)
For running something when you boot up, you could put commands in /etc/rc.local.
Would it have root permissions? If so, that would suffice.
Mark Hindley in the bug report was able to get to the gates of success in installing wine32 on a vanilla chimaera, and has therefore fingered backports as the reason for the error on my system. That log-file reported a terrifyingly-large number of i386 packages to install as helpers to wine32.
I would like to give public thanks to Mark for his help so far, but I'm going to remove all traces of Wine & the i386 architecture from my system.
Wise considering the lack of security on wine.
I have gkrellm installed from the Devuan repos so why does it need to be added to this repo?
Hmm... nvm then.
I didn't realize there was a hide taskbar option for this.
That's why I wanted this.
I saw this app on puppylinux's jwm build a while back.

I may have once mentioned once that I was searching for a specific system load monitor...
I out of nowhere found which one it was...
gkrellm was what I was seeking all along...

I recommend someone add this to the repo here you mentioned starting/have in place.
Btw, couldn't load website till recently.

I wanted to know how to do so and also, how to do so with command line arguments.
Like this for example:
xset dpms noblank on
ONLY, added to whatever crontab I want.
The one I actually want added is this though, for root:
tblock -Syu
Aka, I want tblock to update my /etc/hosts every time I log in and after that, every hour.
Thoughts?
Btw, when I said compiling is an option, I should clarify, I meant wine, not chromium or ungoogled chromium.
Wine actually isnt at all hard to compile, as long as you have the multilib stuff supposedly.
@zapper. Look at some of these.
https://smokey01.com/icon-sets/
The icon sets are .pet packages. So you will have to extract the icons from the package.
I think following set might be of interest: GartoonPup, Gartoonredux, HaikuPup, Noia-Warm, Nuovo-001, Puppy-gant, and Retrosmart. But there may be more you can pull some icons from.
I've notice that puppy kind of makes it's own desktop standard. So you may need to rename some of the files to follow the standard desktop specification.
I have also noticed a lot of these cartoon style icons are .png. So they will be less optimal in terms of both quality, and performance/resource usage when compared to .svg
Actually, I found what I wanted just now...
something like this:

Are there any like that on your page? Those look awesome to me.

Was looking for something similar.
Not relevant persay, but which chromium is this btw? Regular, or ungoogled?
You can try compiling from source though if this is an issue.
I used to do that all the time on non-mainstream distros.
I recommend people do the same, if this issue comes up.
Though it might still be frustrating. If you have a lot of cpus and more than one comp, its wise to use one for compiling, probably recommended at a slower speed if you want to be extra careful regarding heat.
The other one, do whatever probably.
Worked for me many time.
Hope this helps somewhat.

Sndio can do per application stream which alsa cannot ever do on its own last I checked.
Although maybe this has changed or isn't true?
sndio is a good audio server. Although you must use Daedalus/Bookworm if you want to use sndio because the package is way out of date in early versions of Devuan/Debian.
Also because of this JWMKit's sndio functionality has never been tested on Devu(bi)an. So I can't promise it works, but it does works well on other distros. I'll have to experiment with it when I have a chance.
Well, if I had to guess, it isn't up to date on devuan, because there isn't enough interest. Pulseaudio/pipewire has more currently.
Talk about feed the blob...
![]()
Aka, sndio can do the same thing thanks to you. If people didn't always pick the easy way, these bloated alternatives, like the stuff redhat provides, would have never succeeded.
You don't feed a bully, you cut them off and don't let them push you around.
When I said blob, I was though referring to the size like that old cheesy movie would have defined it as.
https://github.com/daemonblade/gartoon-redux
My fav theme if I can be bothered. I love how you get the source svg's so can modify them easily. Gpl'd
Actually, I just remembered, puppylinux has some! I wonder where I can find them tho.
I'll look another time maybe.
Been wondering about this for a long time... tried searching a bit ago, but failed...

It's been around the block for a while....
https://i.ibb.co/BrWJCgT/image.png
And in 2009 it was GNOME Zeitgeist. 13 years old at minimum, and still active.
That image says it all.
Gnome, KDE and Ubuntu use it, which is an automatic bad sign, given its other problems.
Always examine anything that the eye candy Desktop Environments or Window Managers if they require dbus, polkit, systemd, networkmanager, pulseaudio, pipewire, or zeitgiest...
The dbus part is probably on the lower end of that list as far as most are concerned, but the others, especially systemd and zeitgeist, are just, no.
Once I realized what Zeitgeist was, I tried to delete it as much as possible.
Essentially, its an open source spyware.
As far as I know...
Notice btw, one of the words rhymes with heist.
This is very appropriate on many levels.

Unbelievable, the consumption of the machine with JWM is very low, how can you achieve all that? There is no clear guide showing how to configure and customize the system with the jwm window manager.
My only guess is they use primarily C programming.
I had thought it was made in lisp, but not sure now.
Also, I think the dev has more than enough brain cells to know that bloatware is common enough already.
We don't need more. ![]()
To be fair, I consider him a genius more than all the other wm or de creators.
CDE I might consider as a desktop environment in future or continuing using JWM instead as I do already.

zapper wrote:the software using it, intentionally has more support for pipewire
But isn't it the other way around? PipeWire provides the API needed to route sound correctly but ALSA has no such functionality (AFAIK).
Here's a(n old) list of what ALSA can't do:

Trigger warning: Lennart wrote it
I actually realized something... I dislike his software, yes. But I don't hate him, redhat however, is the crux of the issue and even then I always hate them.
Sometimes emotions in me burst out, but in general, if there is ever a reason to hate out of any of these people, its people like the redhat leaders who are willing to destroy everything around them by bloating software nonstop for profit, etc...
This all being said, feel nothing but annoyance towards them right now. My simple point is this is part of a much larger problem which has not been fixed yet.
Its not just poettering, this goes well beyond him.
Microsoft, Google, Redhat, corporations as evil as them, are run by the core problem, which is prideful people who only feed good if they are persuing their greed and successfully annoying and in some cases harming people in general.
So yeah, don't care in either direction much about Poettering. Yes he is an ass, but nothing compared to the people above him.
He didn't get this freedom to abuse his power without the people above him.
Btw, there is a better solution to the whole alsa situation the pulseaudio or pipewire.
Its called sndio.

You are free to port Unity to Devuan and offer it to the community.
Question, seriously though...
Doesn't unity look similar to Gnome 3?
If it is that one, that will be a tough task.
Anywho, just wondered

Why not use x-terminal-emulator instead? That way it will use whatever emulator is set as the default alternative. Some people don't like xterm and it won't even be installed in some systems.
Back on topic: got bored of fighting with finit so switched to runit-init instead:

Made a polkid-dummy package 'cos I don't need that shit on my box.
Better idea, instead of xterm, most people should use sakura.
right clicking while sakura is open, gives you the only other options people really use:
Options gives you quite a few, but go to Options and then more you can get the scrollbar back . ![]()
And before options, after just right clicking, copy, paste and exit are already there as well as full screen.
Ignore if you wish, but of all the lightweight terminal emulators, sakura is very much what i would consider, the jwm of terminal emulators.
Very light, but has most of the functionality I think is needed, without sucking a huge crapton of resources for no reason.

If I were Google, I'd have a stinkin' crook in my back from leaning to the left so much...
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
Just in case that wall above my last comment is too big for some people to read,
Say I am 1000 on the liberal scale, say someone else is 950,
Naturally, if someone moves to the right I am more likely to think they are going too far to the right?
However, if someone is an alt right winger, as 1000, then even someone moving 2 points in the other direction, will be seen as being too liberal.
It has to do with the mentality of "DO EVERYTHING WE SAY NO MATT#ER WHAT!" and "CHANGE A BIT AND YOU WILL BE SEEN AS LIBERAL"
Mindless nonsense...
For the supporters of alt right wingers, disney does the weakest most tiniest action to rebuke the "don't say gay bill"
Then weirdos from everywhere, denounce disney as being very woke or whatever the hell that means...
Isn't that enough of a sign how far they have gone to the right?
Disney has always been mega right wing, just look at their racism and other issues.
The real reason Google does this, is to protect themselves, that is all.
They would prefer to side with the right wingers, but they have much more to think about than that.
Like making money?
-_-
All these data centers would be better served being torn down from the big 3 and used for actual goodwill and justice for all.
Too simple though, as of now.
Meh, what can you do.
@MiyoLinux
Like I said though, if someone is towards 100 on one side of the scale, in the case of right wingers lately, 95 mostly and some other right winger say its Google, is more like 85, because they resist certain stuff out of sanity to keep them safe, not because they actually care about anything but money...
The people with the 95 score will accuse the people of 85 of being too liberal.
Conversely, the same can happen on the left wing scale.
I am aware that my views would look like communism to most of the nutjob right wingers in this country, given that I don't have a fondness for copyright, trademarks and patents and if they were to continue, they would need be 10 years in every conceivable way before going to public domain, no extensions allowed, etc... not to mention, I would want all these greedy companies that get subsidization to lose it without any compensation whatsoever, including fossil fuels and tobacco, alcohol products and ban surveilence by corporations and ban the pat-riot act and similar bs laws from existence.
Force the web to be debloated back to a 1.0, or 2.0 state, back javascript and java and other likewise bloated technologies from being used for anything.
Would also want corporations to be taxed 100 times more than they are now, given they already dodge taxes anyhow.
I could go on and on, but my point being,
they would see me as a 2000 point score liberal.
Reality is, there are some europeans who have these views and they looked at as being the bernie sanders of Europe in the sense of how the country views their thoughts.
That's what I have gathered from all the youtube comments I have seen in the past on politics videos and getting into open source or as some call it libre software, etc...
PS, I begin to wonder if Google's idea of open source isn't so much that its Proprietary open source software, as much as:
Sneaky Open Source Software
To be honest, they probably don't need to make anything proprietary at this point in their services as long as the code is mega hard to change like redhat.
Btw, I mentioned that redhat is a spelling for hatred for a reason.
Its like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
When they choose that name, it was almost like they ironically predicted their own future!

Well unfortunately your issue got "closed as not planned" and locked zapper. Not sure how I will earn my million dollars using Windows 3.0 now, I was really counting on that.

Here's how to troll with a PR:

The PR itself was removed but "VegaDeftwing" (if that is their real name) helpfully saved screenshots of all my posts. Just use the "view raw" option on the images to behold the magnificence...
They even tried to grass me up to the Arch devs
EDIT: the actual PR just completely deleted their terrible Arch installation "guide", which can be found here.
EDIT2: and here's the follow-up blog post:
https://opguides.info/posts/wtfarch/
Fucking hilarious.
The follow-up blog post you mentioned started out actually funnier than I expected lol.
the part where you responded to him saying contribute to the guide instead, your response has already started out hysterical that soon.

Though, maybe I should mention, that was actually the funniest part for me. Went down in quality after that little by little I thought.
The first, was brilliant, the fifth, was amusing, the 8th, was a bit confusing as to the joke there? I assume it has to do with it being experimental software? Idk...
The rest, meh...
That being said, I enjoy sarcastic trolling more than regular trolling usually, so that might explain why I feel this way if you didn't understand before.
