Ubuntu and Devuan repos are not compatible.

The bitcoin option was removed some time ago.
#1403 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Devuan 4 Chimaera / SLiM and WiCD » 2021-10-21 01:58:15
Note that slim (the default Display Manager for xfce) is not
accessible.Q: why is this so?
I believe that relates to accessibility features for the visually impaired. If I weren't so lazy, I would actually read the Release Notes to confirm.
Wicd is no longer available in Devuan 4 Chimaera having been removed
from Debian Bullseye because of it's dependency on python2 which is now
obsolete.
Someone on the team is attempting to port it to python3. Keep your fingers crossed.

Sorry for the noise.
#1405 Re: Off-topic » Linux tux logo on boot » 2021-10-20 19:56:37
I think you might be able to do it here: /etc/grub.d/
Or you could switch it out here /usr/share/desktop-base . . . that's where I put them to test the default desktop theme when I'm working on it.

@Ogis1975 . . . Thanks for the kind words.
#1407 Re: Other Issues » Devuan on Virtualbox share not working » 2021-10-19 00:57:18
The version of Devuan I installed is Devuan beowulf 3.0 323mb.
Just curious why not beowulf 3.1.1. Of course with a full upgrade you would eventually get there.

So sorry to hear that . . .
#1410 Re: Other Issues » Customize other themes and icons » 2021-10-17 17:58:22
The css cannot be imported as it is specific to the Clearlooks Phenix theme. You'll have to do color substitutions in the theme of your choice. Just grab the colors with a color picker like Gcolor2 (my favorite) and search/replace. That sounds easy but be prepared to do a deep dive.
Hearing that you like the colors just made my day. It took several months of trial and error to get them just right and about 6 months to apply them to all the moving parts including the websites.
Will put a first mention of this here . . . after theming 4 Devuan releases, I'm ready to "retire" so the job is open if anyone wants to take it on going forward.
#1411 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » What games do you play on Devuan?? » 2021-10-17 17:36:22
AisleRiot Solitaire, best card game on linux imo.
Indeed. Occasionally I mess with Swell Foop though. Good for visual spatial acuity.
#1412 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » apt sources, changing version and name with apt » 2021-10-17 05:51:21
@zephyr . . . Nice to see you. I wondering why you still have auto.mirror.devuan.org in you sources list even though it is commented out. It has been deprecated for several years so no need to keep it around anymore.
#1413 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » root path is invisible: devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_desktop.iso kde » 2021-10-17 05:19:20
Perhaps this from the Release Notes?
su
The behaviour of su changed in Devuan 3 Beowulf. These changes persist
in Devuan 4 Chimaera. Use su - to get root's path or use the full path
to commands if you use only su. See the following for more information:

#1417 Re: Devuan Derivatives » List of Devuan derivatives » 2021-10-12 22:19:13
Refracta was around long before Devuan and based on Debian. The live install media is for desktop as are many of the derivatives. Again . . . if you would like to update the descriptions of those derivatives (which were mostly written by the creators), knock yourself out and submit them on our git or to forum staff.
#1418 Re: Devuan » What necessitates these categories of systemd-related files? » 2021-10-12 22:04:04
I want to make golinux' question from the sticky thread more specific. He asked:
Note that I posted that thread. I did not write it. Also . . .
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=31788#p31788
But I'm not interested in the binary response. Rather, I'm looking at the different categories of files I can identify on my system, and would like to know why we (or perhaps I should say you Devuan maintainers) can't make them go away.
1. It would be a lot of busy work that would serve no functional benefit. Those files just sit there and afaik do nothing. IOW the "problem" is in the mind not in reality.
2. Devuan maintainers work on packages that are essential for Devuan to function. You are, of course, welcome to take on such a project if you like. That's the way free software works.

Okay...
You have forced me into this; therefore, I will give my input (not that my input matters).

No one said it was.
