Slim takes up very little space, so you could have both Slim and LightDM on your system (if that is okay with you).

Like Camtaf said, intall lightdm first. After it's installed, you should get a window that pops up asking which display manager you want to use. Use your arrow keys to move up/down to highlight lightdm, use your space bar to mark it as your choice, then use your Tab key to highlight Okay (or whatever the word may be) and hit Enter...or just hit Enter on your keyboard after highlighting lightdm.

EDIT: If memory serves me correctly, you may have to reboot for it to take effect.

You're welcome!

For multiple file types, use something like this (edit/remove/add file types if needed)...

for f in *.{mp3,m4a,aac,ogg,flac,wav} ; do ffplay -nodisp -autoexit "$f" ; done

It will play all of the music file types in the order that they are listed in the command. If it doesn't find a file type, it moves on to the next type until it does find one.

Also, for a parent folder that contains sub-folders of music (again, edit/remove/add file types if needed). Open your terminal in the parent folder, and enter...

for f in */*.{mp3,m4a,aac,ogg,flac,wav} ; do ffplay -nodisp -autoexit "$f" ; done

That will play through each of the sub-folders one at a time and also use the same as above...playing each file type as they are listed in the command.

I add the -nodisp flag, because I don't care for the visualization window that pops up. smile

EDIT: I have aliases in my .bashrc file for both of those commands... tongue

I'm not sure how I missed this thread. I've used YAD for various GUIs on MiyoLinux since I started it. I recently uploaded a lot of the scripts to the MiyoLinux Sourceforge page if anyone is interested. Some of them are very basic, and some of them are more involved. They all are licensed as Public Domain, so feel free to do with them what you want. smile

Here is a list of what I posted there...

Extra Software (a GUI to easily install some commonly used applications)
Live Keyboard Layout (a GUI to easily change keyboard layouts)
my-crappy-media-player-v2 (a crappy media player that uses ffplay)
my-crappy-music-player (a crappy music player that uses ffplay)
miyo-welcome (one version of the MiyoLinux Welcome Screen)
miyo-control-center (well, it's a basic Control Center)
miyo-touchpad (a GUI to temporarily turn certain touchpad controls on/off)
miyo-picom (temporarily turn picom on/off)
miyo-exit (an exit menu)
miyo-conky (temporarily turn conky on/off)
miyo-calendar (an edited version on the YAD Calendar that I use on MiyoLinux)

Without more information,  my guess (based on my own experience) is that...

apt install lightdm

...was used (if installed via a terminal).

If so, my guess (also based on my own experience) is that the package desktop-base was also pulled in with that command, which will change the grub theme.

If you ever try again, use the command...

apt install lightdm --no-install-recommends

...in order to avoid pulling in desktop-base.

#93 Re: Installation » 32 bit browser for Devuan 5.10 » 2022-08-18 17:20:41

If interested, you can "install" the 32 bit version directly from Mozilla...it will update itself separately from the Devuan repositories...

These are notes from MiyoLinux; adjust them to your needs. wink

Preliminaries...

Make sure you have the REQUIRED libraries installed...

glibc 2.17 or higher
GTK+ 3.14 or higher
libstdc++ 4.8.1 or higher
X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)

All four of the above are already installed in MiyoLinux.
_____________________________________________________________

For sound in Firefox...

b) If you are using only alsa for sound, you will need to install apulse to have sound in Firefox. It is already installed in the latest versions of MiyoLinux. 

b) If you are using pulseaudio, sound should work automatically.
_____________________________________________________________

Download and install Firefox...

1. Open a terminal, and cd into the folder where your download will be saved. For example...

cd Downloads

2. Download Firefox (or Firefox-ESR) 64 or 32 bit version. 

NOTE: To download the 32 bit version, change os=linux64 to os=linux in the command(s) below.

NOTE: If you need Firefox with a language other than English-US, find your language in the list at the bottom of this file, then substitute lang=en-US with your desired language in the command(s) below.  

To download Firefox, enter the following command...

wget "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-US" -O firefox.tar.bz2

To download Firefox-ESR, enter the following command...

wget "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-esr-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-US" -O firefox-esr.tar.bz2

3. Extract the file...

tar xjf firefox*.tar.bz2

4. Move the extracted firefox folder to /opt...

sudo mv firefox /opt/

5. Create a symlink to the Firefox executable...

sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox

6. Create a Desktop File...

First, enter the following in the terminal to become root...

su

After becoming root, enter the following command...

cd /usr/local/share/applications

If that directory doesn't exist, create it...

mkdir /usr/local/share/applications

...then use the cd command again.  

Now enter the following command to create a desktop file...

nano firefox.desktop

If you are using alsa for sound, enter the following...

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Firefox
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
GenericName=Web Browser
Keywords=Internet;WWW;Browser;Web;Explorer
Exec=apulse firefox %u
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=firefox
Categories=Network;
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp;x-scheme-handler/chrome;video/webm;application/x-xpinstall;
StartupNotify=true

If you are using pulseaudio for sound, remove apulse from... 

Exec=apulse firefox %u 

so that it looks like this...

Exec=firefox %u

Save the file and close nano with the following 3 actions...

Ctrl + x
y
Enter

Firefox should now be installed and available in your menu.

#96 Re: Devuan » Experiences with Ceres? » 2022-07-08 14:43:26

You may want to consider installing the package apt-listbugs.

If you do, when you run an apt update, apt will show if there are bugs in the package(s) that will be upgraded. If none are shown, then do an upgrade. If bugs are shown, look at the information provided by apt. It may list a "severe" bug, but it may not affect you. Such as, a "severe" bug with a font that you realize won't affect you. In which case, you can go ahead with the upgrade.

If there is a bug that may harm your system, you can cancel the upgrade and upgrade individual packages that aren't affected by the bug...or wait a few days to upgrade and see if the bug has been fixed with another apt update.

Just look at what apt tells you and act accordingly.

May the apt be with you!

My understanding is...

remove - removes the actual package.

--purge - removes the package's configuration files.

I could be wrong, but it looks like you're possibly only removing slim's configuration files, but slim is staying on your system?
