Use PPAs with Debian or Devuan at your own risk. Please take DontBreakDebian to heart. Also read this page on the Devuan website.

#1627 Re: Installation » kali to devuan » 2020-07-24 17:44:16
Posts about Kali are not even answered on the Debian forum because Kali is not Debian. Devuan is even further away from Debian. Did you try searching for "kali" on this forum? There are some mentions here and there which could possibly be useful to you. FYI, ParrotSec OS is building a version on Devuan so there may be some pointers if you check that out.

amprolla was misbehaving but I haven't seen any discussion about it being fixed. It is summer after all . . .
#1629 Re: Other Issues » Update not possible because of repository problem » 2020-07-21 01:24:39
Happy to hear that. It's a good idea to read the release notes because there are always a few "gotchas" with each new release.

From the beowulf release notes:
If you are already on Beowulf, just run this command to get to the
current release version:apt update && apt dist-upgrade
The first time you do this after Beowulf has gone Stable, you will get
a warning that the repository changed its 'Suite' value from 'testing'
to 'stable'. Answer 'yes' to proceed. Note that aptitude or apt-get will
fail this first time. Only apt will ask you to accept the change.

Also note that it is a very-bad-idea to use the suite names in sources.list because Devuan and Debian are not always in sync. It is safer to use codenames to avoid unintended consequences. Please see https://devuan.org/os/releases.

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Four times is Official GNOME Policy.
Repeated for truth. Best signature ever!

Gnome has some rough edges period and does not play well with others. I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to use it especially on a distribution whose philosophy leans in the opposite direction of Gnome's. Classic square peg|round hole thinking.

Any judgmental evaluation has multiple perspectives. Best to be aware of them all. 
#1637 Re: Installation » How to get java8 on devuan3? » 2020-07-07 22:41:14
Devuan is not reliable and it is impossible to use devuan for serious purposes.
LOL! That would depend on your definition of "serious purposes". Perhaps the issue is not Devuan but your purposes!
#1638 Re: Forum Feedback » Why Fie? » 2020-07-06 16:45:58
When starting the Debian/Devuan normal installer (full or net-install), there is an option for "Graphical Installer", which is functionally identical to the NCurses "DOS knockoff", but it looks prettier. Functionally, this installer is perfectly fine and visually the graphical version is also fine. Every step is clear and well documented and it's not possible to reach the end of the installer without having a working system.
Note that this option is no longer available in Beowulf and probably beyond.

That depends. I have some wheezy pkgs running on jessie without issue.
#1640 Re: Installation » How to get java8 on devuan3? » 2020-07-01 22:41:40
Or directly from the Devuan repos. That is the preferred way to install Debian packages on Devuan:

#1642 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED]Detached signature file(s) » 2020-06-30 22:38:30
From the Devuan website:
Devuan has a network of package repository mirrors in place. The mirror network is accessible using the FQDN “deb.devuan.org” via http NOT https. Country Codes (CC) are currently unavailable but a specific mirror from the list can be accessed using the corresponding BaseURL.
Instructions for getting the keyring can also be found on the website at: https://devuan.org/os/keyring

If ascii is fully upgraded, you should be good to go.
In Synaptic there is an option under "Status" for "Installed (auto removable)". Some other options are also available if you poke a around a bit. I am rather sloppy about tending to such things . . .
#1650 Re: Installation » ?? Manual Upgrade to Beowulf from Ascii 2.1 ?? » 2020-06-23 01:21:39
Yes. I checked and saw that bit of advice is not in the documentation. Should probably be added . . . prior knowledge should never be assumed. I'll leave it to someone more versed in upgrades to give you advice about where to go from where you are.
