Wow...thanks for checking fsr! I deeply appreciate that.

As to the lid closure issue. How do I put this? I think people who are fans of (or familiar with) LXQt realize that "some things" still don't work exactly right with the LXQt DE since it's still under development. On top of that, I had to replace the native LXQt shutdown options with Obsession since none of them worked (except Logout).

I made the .isos by request from a friend who wanted a Devuan LXQt system. Someone new to LXQt may not realize that there are still a few issues with the LXQt DE. One of the biggest being...the default file manager is PCManFM-Qt. It's a dependency, so it gets installed automatically. However, trying to use it as root is a major pain in the derrière. That's why I included the GTK version of PCManFM...so users could perform root actions in the file manager without problems.

The LXQt power manager brings up another issue...after 10 minutes, the screen turns off automatically no matter what you do in the LXQt power management settings. I know an experienced user can change that in a file somewhere (it's been so long since I've done it that I don't remember where the file is or what it's called), but an easy fix for most users will be to install either xscreensaver (with several dependencies) or the xfce4-power-manager to stop this. I personally prefer...

apt-get install xfce4-power-manager --no-install-recommends

...because it does the job and doesn't install hardly any dependencies. I'll be adding that to the Wiki on Sourceforge.

Thanks again for giving it a test. I do appreciate it.

DAGNABIT! ...and I was wanting to make a poster...

Numix Icons are square in shape; Numix Circle Icons are (or were) a supplement to the square shaped Numix icons. Unless they have changed, Numix Circle wouldn't work without also installing the square Numix Icons too. That's how it worked when I started using them. If it's changed, I don't know, because I made a .zip file of them back then, and that's what I've used ever since.

I can log in, but that's it...no access to anything else.

Hey fsr...I don't know how interested you might be in this feedback, but I did a UEFI install of Miyo-XTRA-Ascii today...it went smooth as silk.

Now I'm tempted to release that .iso too. LOL!

Thanks for all of your work...your geniousness is supreme sir.

Oh...okay. Well, the actual .iso image has been squashed. Anything added in the live session hasn't been...so it's showing the additions as their actual size added to the squashed .iso image...if that makes sense.

Yes, that's the date.

Wow! Give us a screenshot when you're finished!

I've also just added a .zip file for the alternative menu with icons (found at the same link in the quote above)...so it's there if anyone wants to try it.

Instead of posting pictures, here's a short video showing what it looks like.

They won't all apply! LOL!

Okay...I hope to have them uploaded by tomorrow afternoon IF all goes well. The internet here hasn't been very cooperative lately.

As I stated earlier, these are based on Ascii. I also based them on Miyo-XTRA, because those versions have gotten the most total downloads of this year's releases.

What's different? The menu, I switched from Wicd to Connman, and just a few other odds-n-ends.

The menu. Though I love Obmenu-Generator, I wanted to keep this pure Devuan as much as possible to hopefully mitigate any problems in future updates/upgrades/dist-upgrades. So, while Obmenu-Generator isn't included, the menu is still dynamic...sort of.

I linked the xfce applications menu into the openbox menu, so the "Applications" section is dynamic and will add (or remove) applications automatically. The rest of the menu is static. The "Applications" also have icons; however, the rest of the menu doesn't. I struggled with whether to code in icons for the rest of the menu, but after mulling it over, I didn't want to force icons on someone when they may not be to their taste. When I have time, I'm going to go ahead and add icons to mine. When I'm finished, I'll post a picture and include the menu.xml file if anyone wants to use it.

Here's a first-boot picture of the 64 bit. This is with PCManFM's control over the desktop disabled...

Miyo-XTRA-Ascii...it's almost heeeeeeeeerrrrrrreeee. LOL! I'm stinkin' excited. LOLOLOL!

The next month is grayed out with that command for me greenjeans. Could it just be the Theme that you're using on your system? I tried it with a few different themes, and they all grayed out the next month...but some were less gray than others depending on the theme.

L...O...L!!! Unfortunately, I'm just a guy who has figured out a few things.

I remember when I first started using Linux. It wasn't because I wanted to; it was because I had to. Our circa-Windows Vista computer became unusable. It was either do something (install Linux) or have no computer.

I didn't know what I was doing, but I somehow got Ubuntu installed on it. It was so slow, but it was better than nothing. At that time, I knew nothing about RAM, CPU, firmware, hardware, etc... (the computer had less than 1 GB of RAM...no wonder Ubuntu didn't perform too well). I eventually installed Zorin Lite, and it did much better.

I remember asking a few questions on some Linux forums and being told that I needed to...

cd into this

chroot into that

I didn't have a stinkin' clue what they were talking about, and I was treated like I was an idiot because I didn't miraculously know...bunch'a stinkin' jerks they were! LOL!

So, what I've learned has been through a lot of internet searches, a whole lot of trial and error, and the occasional person who would actually help.

I remember what it's like not having a clue what someone means when they say, "You need to cd into  __________, then blah blah blah."

Soooooo...I try to remember that when (and if) I'm able to help someone. Many times, the person may not need the extra information, but I remember what it was like when I just wanted someone to tell me what I needed to do. I don't give a rip for these people who won't answer a question UNLESS the person asking has already searched google or their forums (cough cough Arch for example). Stinkin' google isn't always right, and keywords don't always turn up what you need.

Anyway...I'm still learning myself! LOLOLOLOL!!!

...and if I didn't say stinkin' enough times...here it is again...

stinkin'

...and if I've offended anyone with this post...get a stinkin' backbone.
