It even adjusts the desktop resolution automatically to fit the window. Very civilised.
Sadly it did not find find the wallpaper option that would best fits that resolution . . .

I discovered that the cert was expired last night when I went to check some admin stuff. Have notified the folks at dyne but with the holidays who knows when it might get fixed. In the meantime no mail will be coming through on DNG. Patience . . .

AFAIK, Devuan's infrastructure runs on nginx.

Debian has it's idiosyncrasies and on top of that Devuan has it's own to counter Debian's. It is always a good idea to read the release notes before installing or configuring.
Are we ready for a group hug? (Slightly premature) New Year's greetings to everyone!

The AUR has an old version of the darkpurpy theme. I would update it and add the other versions but I don't generally bother with packages for themes. Just unpack them into ~/.local/share/themes/ and profit.
Problem is that putting it in userspace breaks the theming in synaptic and gparted etc. and sometimes I even run thunar as root . . . GASP . . .
Anyway I left a note on the AUR package page with the new source URL a while ago so people can easily update it themselves.
WOW! . . . thanks HoaS.

That git link is broken. Can't download anything from there.
I just DL the clearlooks-phenix theme without having to sign into my account which means that you can too!
Btw, wasn't there a dark mode for these themes?
Nope.
And what about pc's that don't currently use devuan? I run debian on one of my laptops and I want this theme pls.
Only the colors are altered in the clearlooks-phenix theme for devuan. It will work in debian based distros and someone found it in a secondary arch repo!

I hope you Devuan guys are not always so bad-tempered when it comes to dumb newbie problems :-(
Welcome to Devuan l3u! We are a pretty mellow crowd but can have moments at times. Did you not read Head_on_a_Stick's signature? I don't consider that an excuse but it seems that HoaS thinks it is . . .

You are welcome! Don't know why something like this hasn't popped up before . . .

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked my Refracta Chimaera install and no zeitgeist package is installed.
#940 Re: Devuan » Brave New Trusted Boot World » 2022-12-15 21:51:59
Oh joy . . . this on IRC . . .
-Unit193/Wallops- We'd like to give a hearty congratulations to the Xfce team on their 4.18 release after two years of solid work. To read about what's new, see: https://xfce.org/about/news/?post=1671062400
I haven't looked yet but likely will be "interesting" reading. So please add that info into this discussion
#941 Re: Devuan » Brave New Trusted Boot World » 2022-12-15 16:50:03
All options will be on the table for discussion if we decide to go there.
#942 Re: Devuan » Brave New Trusted Boot World » 2022-12-15 16:37:38
Perhaps it's time for a task-icewm-desktop or task-jwm-desktop package? who knows.
This has been on my mind for some time and discussed off and on. Xfce has been a wonderful ride but then Gnome2 was also. Things are constantly changing and rarely for the better. Always more complexity, more bloat and more restrictions.
But, i know this: If we have managed to make it this far, I KNOW we can figure it out, I have faith in our team. We can do this!
Happy to have you here.
#943 Re: Forum Feedback » MESSAGING issue » 2022-12-10 23:25:49
We support IRC channels on Libera which are the closest thing Devuan has to social media. Dyne does have a Devuan Twitter account but Devuan is not directly involved with it. I think there is a Reddit account but again, Devuan has nothing to do with it. In all the years I've been moderating this board, I don't think I've ever seen any of the "messaging" options populated by a Devuan user. Neither are social media channels mentioned often (if at all) on any of our platforms. Draw your own conclusions . . .
#944 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] How to get hardware info » 2022-12-10 04:23:03
I am just a simple user. Install hardinfo and everything should be listed. Or I may be totally off the mark. I am still wired and everything just works so have never had to deal with your predicament. If so, apologies for the noise . . .

@deepforest . . . this is a technical help forum not an opinion forum. No one is interested in your whining when you shoot yourself in the foot.

As sgage noted, you have plenty of other choices . Feel free to stop whining and move on . . .

Any tool is only as useful as the user controlling it. I think you are pointing the finger in the wrong direction. Take responsibility!!!
