What does that mean? And why exactly?
I am very much curious to those questions.
Short Answer: When It's Ready
My guess though is that it is pretty close to Stable already, but it will probably at most take a few more months. Keep in mind, debian bullseye was released not very long ago. August 14th 2021 is when it became Stable. If it becomes officially Stable within 3 months from that, awesome! If it takes 6 months from that, still great.
But yeah, I don't think it will take more than either of those dates given how close it is to Stable already.
If Golinux wants to jump in, I invite him to do so.
I really don't know aka.
I have A VM of Devuan, and it seems to run pretty darn well.
In the future, I am going to use Libreboot or coreboot as much as possible. If a computer or motherboard isn't compatible with either of those, I simply won't buy it.
I would also say, theres only one exception I would make to that:
If it is more libre then either, such as MNT Reform or more so, then that should be an exception.
Anything else, I agree with you is utterly absurd.
Hazardous boot is for sure a microsoft idea. It is not secure in anyway shape or form.
Hence why I call it hazardous boot. ;P
Cool, I saw your stable release! I appreciate it.
I hope it works as well for devuan as it does Hyperbola!
Thank you very much in advance!
My wife's PC, upgraded from Beowulf to Chimaera. She gets a popup on every login requesting "Setting RfKill State requires privileges". When I log on on the same PC under my account, no popup. On my PC, same hardware, native Chimaera, I also do not get this popup. There is no bluetooth hardware built into both the PC's.
The only thing that might be different on my wifes PC is that there is a ReinerSCT tanJack deluxe for homebanking installed, but that is connected via USB and should not have bluetooth communication (no hint in the manual).
Looks like the policy org.blueman.policy is causing this. My wife usually cancels the popup.
Well, checked if rfkill is installed. Wasn't, installed it and no change. Also entering the root PW once did not change the behaviour.
Where do I start with troubleshooting? De-install blueman?
Thanks, rolfie
Probably, you have to remove* bluetooth crap as a whole... tlp + tlp gui would help though.
https://github.com/d4nj1/TLPUI
Just need tlp and to install tlpui, and you can have bluetooth disabled when you log in.
Takes a bit of setup, but you get the idea.
Meant to say remove not install, lol.
But yeah. tlp combined with tlp gui would also work as I mentioned.
I needed some good news for a change. Thanks for catching that . . .
It's good to hear xorg is not going to die for a while, especially considering there are forks of it out there...
Sometimes, things will inevitably go from one repo to another, after all...
Besides, wayland seems dicey, especially if any of this is true:
I looked up Hyperbola Linux and their website says:
"Due to the Linux kernel rapidly proceeding down an unstable path, we are planning on implementing a completely new OS derived from several BSD implementations."... and:
"Future versions of Hyperbola will be using HyperbolaBSD which will have the new kernel, userspace and not be ABI compatible with previous versions."What the!
They give reasons. That's somewhat concerning as a Linux user! But is the Linux kernel really heading significantly down that way, or is the Hyperbola site being slightly alarmist??
It all depends on how seriously you take the threat of bloat, including, rust, java, systemd, dbus, etc...
Also, it depends on if you want your system to be as close to free software as possible.
Redhat's dbus, systemd and other trash = really bloated and obnoxius just thought I should add this here...
Rust = non-free (trademarks for modification)
Java = non-free (trademarks for modification also)
Mono = questionable due to who owns it, aka, microsoft
If you want actual 100% free software or even 99% free software, or care about security, I would say, yes.
If you do not care about either security or free software to such a level, then meh...
It works for me, I should mention, They will support HyperbolaBSD I think till the kernel they are using is defunct or 2027 at the latest from what I remember.
By then, they will make HyperbolaBSD stable supposedly.
That is my understanding...
I think in 2024 they plan to have the base done, at the latest, but it won't be very feature rich till later.
Again, my understanding, it could happen sooner, but I am not sure.
I think I should leave it here, if you want to say more, probably a new thread would be wise.
Am I the only person in the world who doesn't like Arch, its derivatives, or respins?
![]()
![]()
Why do you hate arch derivatives? You do know, Hyperbola is very init freedom friendly, in addition to that, they reject dbus, pulseaudio, networkmanager and other redhat garbage that bloats the system to the insane level.
Also, in my opinion, as long as you use the latest installer of their system always, you will never have problems installing, unless you don't know what you are doing.
That being said, this has nothing to do with the OP,
Distrowatch is good for finding out about new distros like some people in this thread said, but other than that, it is probably useless.
my two cents for ya.
Also, one other thing that's less related, Artix's documentation on how to install is a bit too minimal, arch is too system dumbed, aka, systemd runs through its veins and parabola is the next easiest, but honestly, screw all other arch distros besides Hyperbola. It is the minimalism king and the most stable, secure, lightweight distro.
For now, I use the testing version, till 0.4 is ready completely, as in stable.
Anywho, my point being, don't hate all arch derivatives, just hate most of them.
Parabola is meh, Hyperbola is awesome, the rest suck.
Artix only sucks because its documenation isn't really good for encrypted installs.
@zapper . . . we are in the home stretch . . .
Wait I thought, Devuan Ascii was based on that...
Okay but seriously, its coming sooner than that?
Also, I have wanted to make a joke like that for a long time...
zapper wrote:Wow, you guys were mega fast in getting Devuan chimaera out...
The subject of this thread is misleading. Chimaera has not been "officially" released yet. Will be soon though . . .
Still would be surprising considering when debian 11 was released...
August 14th 2021 was when it was released... so there's that.
Even if it came out in september, or early october.
Best wishes though on such a goal though if that's what you intend!

You'd see people wander into the Debian forum and say things like, "I enabled stable and testing and unstable and experimental repos and added a few ppa's and mixed and matched packages from all of them and then ran a few weird commands I found on the Ubuntu forum and now my computer is bricked and I've lost all my data and a million dollar government contract because your distro sucks. Fix me."
And you'd sit back and grab for the popcorn and wait for HOAS to show up and just thrash them with surgical precision. And then fix their problem. And then thrash them some more for good measure. Leave them in a quivering bloody puddle on the floor, whimpering. Deathly afraid of ever touching a keyboard again.
It was good stuff. As I said, it was weekly entertainment for quite awhile.

Hi
I sugest the 30 of febrary. So the next time will be in year 2100.
Have a nice day

Feburary 29th is a leap year, but I don't think feburary 30th exists even...
Then again, that's probably the point...
That being said, I agree with Yeti.

Yes, i did by simply change repository from chimaera to daedalus.
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera main non-free contrib
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus main non-free contrib
Official images are here
https://files.devuan.org/
I haven't seen the Daedalus ISO on this pages so far, i believe because it is too early.Congratulations to the passers on the next adventures
Wow, you guys were mega fast in getting Devuan chimaera out...
I am surprised.
I remember when it took two years or one year after the release for it to come out. Aka, Devuan Jessie and Devuan Ascii.
I am glad init freedom projects remain alive.
A different take on this discussion, try seeing it this way. IBM saw linux as possibly being their baby, so proceeded to help themselves, systemd was a simple business decision. The init system is the perfect place to start to gain control of linux, note all the bits and pieces that have followed. They all share one common trait, they are all for control of your computer, whether it be networking IO or FS. Also note the existing systems normally operated perfectly, but are just getting swept aside. The damning thing is Redhat has been profitable while they have done it, so they have made good money wrecking our system., they are laughing all the way to the bank. {>_<}
Let me put this in simpler terms then, or if you prefer, my words:
Redhat and IBM both have one thing in common, they are purely motivated by an insatiable lust for power.
Thus, IBM bought Redhat for this reason...
Thus, I really would like to see their leaders swallowed by the earth.
Oh well, I can dream...
Sorry, I did not specify a release date. I prefer quality and flexibility over deadlines. As you stated in the Issue you submitted, " its ready, when its ready.
" . But that's a hard line answer, and I understand it is not helpful. So allow me to answer you in an informative way that does not obligate me.
Progress is directly linked to my availability (free time). I'll try my best to have it ready before the end of the month, hopefully sooner depending on time, energy and coffee. The largest number of issues are with the Time & Date tool. If it is the cause of much delay. I will either leave it out of the build or just set NoDisplay=true in it's .desktop file.
I do feel the Time & Date tool is important because it allows control of the date/time/timezone without having to add even more dependencies to the system. Also it seems many of the newer Graphical time set tools are simply a front end for timedatectl (systemd)
Excellent to hear!
End of the month is definitely a good answer if its possible.
Thank you, and feel free to lock that issue whenever, since you seem to be working on it.
Will time and date have a possibility to be made bold in the future? Not needed, but would be nice, still, I would rather it be released sooner then later even if that isn't an opiton.
And yes, that mess from redhat is hell...
I consider most of redhat's trash to be garbage. Systemd, dbus, networkmanager pulseaudio, pipewire, avahi, and stuff that those packages depend on, the libraries that redhat develops for them, is really, really annoying.
That all being said, I think I am in good company at least wirh regard to system dumb... I call it that, because it is so bloated its a stupid design.
Anywho, thanks again!

Scroll down till you see the don king troll.
Actually looks like this one fits the "Bustr troll" description from your link:
"The Bustr. Bustrs are obsessive Bitters by whom you could practically set your watch. A Bustr never forgets, never forgives, and holds a grudge until the day it dies. Also a variant of Agenda trolls, Bustrs typically move from forum to forum complaining about the objects of their ire, often cutting and pasting age-old diatribes that have little meaning to most of their audiences. Most Bustrs are relatively incoherent, though a few of the more lucid ones are potentially dangerous stalkers."I was surprised not to see the type of trolling that I do described on that page, as it was otherwise quite comprehensive. I like to troll with a bit of humor - most trolls are too serious.
Yeah, I meant, I prefer trolls who are ridiculous and spout gibberish and nonsense.
Like the Don King troll... would have been a funny one to be.
I meant, if he trolled like Don King, I might have found entertainment...
Although when people spout gibberish enough, it does make you feel like you lost brain cells...
But nope, he choose to be a kind that is dull, in my opinion anyways.
That was my point, I guess.
Either way, meh...
I have lost interest.
Btw, on an unrelated note, I have emailed you, did your old email die, or have you lost interest in chatting with me.
Same one as before, just a heads up.

zapper. JWM Kit needs a little bit of polishing before I can make a stable release. I have a list of issues and I mark them off as I go. When I finish the list I will make a stable release. Of course if any big issues are discovered before I finish they will be added to the list.
Thanks for the feedback and your Patience.
Alrighty, good to know. I am curious how much longer it will be though before it is released, aka, like a month or w/e, but thanks for the update.
Hey, JWMKIT, I wondered if you can make a tar release, so Hyperbola devs could add it to their repository, also btw, if you do this, I suppose debian could also and other stable release operating systems.
So yeah, I would appreciate it if you made a new release on this soon. On your codeberg.org repo, I mean.
Oh and by the way, huge note to make,
doas has a way to bypass for certain commands how to activate certain commands in regular user mode.
So, I can actually suspend or poweroff easily now.
Zapper, I'm glad you found something that works and hope it's a good solution for you. I may of been wrong in my previous post about needing to change the .desktop for JWMKit Logout as your links to this app are probably in the static part of the menu and the tray. In this case you need to make the changes to it with both the Tray and Menu tools. Sorry about that, but I assume you figured this out already.
I'll also make the assumption that since my app does not support doas (which I've been hearing a lot about lately) that you are just calling jwmkit_logout with doas instead of using a feature built into the logout app. Which I guess would work just as well.
Now I need to add doas support to jwmkit_logout. . . I think I may take another approach and just allow the user specify the specific logout commands they want.
Semi figured it out, not completely, but its a huge improvement.
Yes, I called it with doas instead. heh...
sakura -e doas /sbin/poweroff
sakura -e doas /sbin/reboot
That's how I activate it currently.
Its fine atm, till a better solution appears.
Zapper, you need to start jwmkit_logout with the correct parameters. The default is to use consolekit, but It's only one option and not truly dependent on it. You can tell it to work differently, but your system will need to be configured to work with one of the options.
The following examples all use /sbin/reboot, and /sbin/poweroff
jwmkit_logout gksu ------ will use gksu
jwmkit_logout sudo ------ will use sudo
jwmkit_logout nosu ----- will just issue the /sbin/poweroff /sbin/reboot commands without out asking for root permissioncheck here for more info
logout parametersTest it by starting jwmkit_logout from the terminal, and when you find a working solution use jwmkit_freedesktops to change the command line in the .desktop file so it will affect your menus.
I hope this helps.
It helps somewhat, yes, but how do I make it the default, I guess?
I apologize if you gave me the answer already and I am unaware... not an expert, aka.
Update: I got it functioning via doas, not sure how to do it without root, but if it has any security risks, it may be better off anyways.
That being said, I appreciate your work!
You have no idea how much this helps me.
Considering how stable people say devuan chimaera is, I would say probably less than a year and it will be stable.
If nothing else though, looking at the difference in release dates will give you a good idea.
But yeah, when its ready is the official answer.
Puppy Linux packages of JWM Kit have been updated and uploaded. Both FOSSA (Ubuntu based) and SLACKO (Slackware based) versions.
If you already downloaded the FOSSA version please download again. It was an old version. I also advise uninstalling the old version before installing this one. Sorry about that
Actually, I was using Hyperbola and using the jwmkit archbuild...
The newer one from codeberg I used...
I would assume it works well even for devuan.
Thanks in advance for asking though and I appreciate you are working on the keybindings situation.
I also like that shutdown, poweroff and logout don't have any stupid redhat depends... such as dbus, elogind, etc...
Unrelated, but anything I use in Hyperbola almost always works in Devuan.
Edit: it seems I might be wrong, I just checked and the shutdown function doesn't work without dbus or consolekit or elogind, atm...
logout works, but poweroff/reboot not so much yet. The buttons appeared for it, but clicking on it hasn't done anything... I wonder what went wrong.
just a heads up. PS, terminal emulator lets me use superuser rights to shut it down with poweroff or reboot. So I know that's not the problem.
But either way, its nice to have most of the features anyways.
Still, if you feel like fixing for me, let me know, aka, a dbusless and consolekitless/elogindless fix.
