autospawn=no in /etc/pulse/client.conf nothing changed.

"Comment out" looks like this:

Tobias, you are welcome to post here.  And thank you for actually providing some possibly useful information.

#1604 Re: Freedom Hacks » package usbmuxd - used for IPhone Tethering » 2020-08-10 17:22:52

Tobias is a well-known contrarian who has not contributed his talents to Devuan.  So don't hold your breath . . .

I need an .asoundrc config to sort the 2 sound devices on my board!

@Vernon . . . for suggesting this most excellent forum topic and being the first thread maker, you have been awarded a virtual golden elephant fridge magnet!!!

I've noticed the setnet.sh script has depreciated in beowulf. which came standard in ASCII. However is there a reason it was not carried over?

KatolaZ has moved from Linux to BSD so that script is now unmaintained.  Someone else is free to pick it up if they like.  It may also be perfectly fine to use it in Beowulf.  Hopefully someone can advise on that.

#1608 Re: Freedom Hacks » package network-manager » 2020-08-07 01:49:42

Vernon . . . are these posts elsewhere on the forum?  Let me know if anything needs to be moved.

GlennW . . . Devuan Freedom Hacks . . . Hmmm . . .  I like that but think that maybe It doesn't need "Devuan".  How about this for the index page?? 

Freedom Hacks
Explore workarounds to reverse/repair unwanted upstream decisions

#1611 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » LibPAM-TMPDIR Causes VeraCrypt Mounting Problems » 2020-08-02 15:15:17

Done. brocashelm . . . you might want to change the subject to better describe your issue.

#1612 Re: Forum Feedback » New Forum Category Suggestion - Devuan systemd dependency workarounds » 2020-08-02 15:11:10

I personally would like to give an indication as to why those hacks are needed. There are plenty of hacks but this section will focus on those thrust upon us by upstream decisions.

How about just "Triage"? (Rather than init triage)

I thought of that too but IMO it is too general.  Perhaps it could be clarified in the forum description, something like this:

Triage
Explore workarounds to fix unwanted upstream decisions

Maybe that's getting closer?

Init Freedom Hacks?

Unfortunately, if we want to include other poettering elephants like pulseaudio for discussion, it can't be limited to init.  Maybe just "Freedom Hacks"?

#1616 Re: Forum Feedback » New Forum Category Suggestion - Devuan systemd dependency workarounds » 2020-07-31 17:57:47

Thanks for the ideas. Now let's go deeper . . .  IMO, "FOSS" is too general and philosophical. Also it's about more than systemd.  I see it being about unnecessary "complification", removal of working options and core structure just because.  What ever happened to "KISS" and "if it works, don't fix it".  Please keep trying.  We also will need a very short description of what the new category will encompass.

EDIT: Also FOSS is a non-starter because systemd passes the test technically if not in spirit.

There are workarounds to Devuan systemd dependencies scattered around this board. It would be nice if they were all in one place so they could be easily found. I suggest a new forum category, Devuan systemd dependency workarounds which should only contain solutions to Devuan systemd dependencies.

Thanks for suggesting this.  Your proposal was discussed today at our weekly meet and we think it would be useful.  Problem is that we need a shorter name.  Suggestions welcome.
- Init Triage
- Regaining Control

Vernon wrote:

When someone finds a solution to a Devuan systemd dependency, the solution could be cross posted to  Devuan systemd dependency workarounds by the person who found the workaround or anyone else.  Similar posts could be made for pulseaudio and networkmanager at least.

Or threads/posts could just be moved.

Vernon wrote:

I suggest that this category be moderated to reduce cruft. Any post not related to a  systemd workarounds gets moved to another category.

Sometimes threads are moved or split but content is kept intact.  We have an aversion to rewriting history.  wink

Been growing with and grooving on this since the mid-70s:

#1621 Re: Other Issues » I want delete this account ! » 2020-07-30 02:19:16

I have deleted users who have never posted at their request.  But wouldn't delete a user who has a history of posts.

#1622 Re: Installation » backports » 2020-07-29 22:33:48

Note that a user would only want to install specific packages from backports if needed.  Updating everything in backports could create unpleasant, unintended consequences.

I hope Devuan fork this package and add the necessary init scripts. It's really annoying when you install a package just for it to not work afterwards, and you're forced to find a workaround yourself.

You could start by submitting the patch to Debian.  If that fails, you are welcome to maintain it long-term for Devuan.  smile

Yes smile. For example, xlupe has a nice slider bar to easily change magnifications.

Isn't that what the scroll wheel is for?  Why go fumbling about for a slider . . .
