Ogis1975, if you have ffmpeg installed does ffplay go full screen mode?

No sad

In Ratpoison, mpv doesn't work very well (does not switch to full screen mode ). I would suggest trying Stumpwm. This is a much better alternative.

Yes. It finally happened. Chimaera 4.0 is the current stable release. So. I installed it on one of the machines (did a clean install). On another machine i made a simple upgrade. In both cases, no problems arose. So thanks to the whole Devuan team!

Is it possible to use pipewire instead of pulseaudio in Chimaera?

Check this https://wiki.debian.org/PipeWire

In short-This is not a supported scenario for Debian 11, and is considered experimental. It may break certain applications, lack certain functionality, or not work at all.

No one even doubts that Gnome, systemd or wayland is a real good. 🤣 The same good as secret CIA operations, or vaccines against Covid 19. 🤣 And whoever doubts this must be burned on fire.

Your packages, installed when you update your sistem, is broken. Performing the following commands will try and fix any broken packages currently installed on your system:

sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
sudo apt-get install -f

(the -f option is short for fix-broken.)

Also, you can try use a second metod. This solution will help out if a software package broke while being installed. You can try using the previous method before continuing, as it may help. First, we clean apt-get and try using dpkg to configure any packages that need it:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

I found a good alternative to popular browsers. It is qutebrowser. Installed it with virtualenv. After about a week of using it, I can say that this product deserves attention.

Hi

Star did install Urxvt. It is a good terminal. But the view of the text is very to small (generally: in the terminal as well as in terminal applications like nano, my prefered editor). Second problem is the choice of colors in nano (accentued, of course through the fact that the size of text is to small).
Is there a REALLY easy way to change that how to desinstall this (in my case not operable) application without benefit for me?

It is very easy. Just create file

.Xresources

in your home dir

nano .Xresources

and past this to that file

Xmonad, by most of WM i know, this one and a few others have ran away without even trying it seriously.

I used default config for sure, i tried once editing config, made a big mess and didn't know what to do more so, i give up easly. Very good optimization Ogis1975, minimalistic as ****.

The unicode bars colors @PS1, reminds me mIRC scripting days.
I used to generate many of those blocks colors back in the Windows IRC days smile

Thanks for the feedback, bro. I have a relatively minimal xmonad with xmobar config, which can be adapted to the needs of any user.

Here link for xmonad config

https://github.com/Minda1975/my-dots/bl … /xmonad.hs

And here link for xmobar config

https://github.com/Minda1975/my-dots/bl … r/xmobarrc

However, I decided to stop using xmobar because it is practically no longer needed by me.

Rock solid Devuan Beowulf 3.1.1 with Xmonad, st terminal and without Xmobar. Rock solid and fast OS. When the new version comes out I will not rush to upgrade smile

#119 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] NVIDIA Nouveau with proprietary performance/accel* and best Xorg.conf » 2021-06-28 12:07:28

Get NVIDIA proprietary driver from official NVIDIA site for your GPU

If you absolutely must have the proprietary closed-source drivers, do not download them directly from the manufacturer's website! Installing drivers this way only works for the current kernel, and after the next kernel update, your video drivers will not work until they are manually reinstalled again.

I am not sure how to configure autostarting apps among other things.

You can start apps with a bit of help from .xinitrc  It is handy to run programs depending on X and set environment variables on X server startup. If it is present in a user's home directory, startx and xinit execute it.
