Dear dev1ers . . .
The Devuan ASCII 2.1 point release has begun. The installer isos,
desktop-live and minimal-live isos are currently available for
download here:
http://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/
Other images will be uploaded as they are ready.- The option to choose openrc is more prominent and no longer requires
an Expert install. You can't miss it.- If you would like to select an alternate bootloader (lilo) or
exclude non-free firmware, you must select one of the Expert install
options.- The recommended default mirror is now deb.devuan.org. If you would
like to use a country code mirror, please check
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt to see if there is one
suitable for your needs.There is more information in the Release Notes:
http://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/Release_notes.txtSource: https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … ef.en.html
Once the point release is completed, we can focus on putting final touches on Beowulf.

@msi . . . Long time, no see. So are you still playing with Adelie or running Devuan again?

Just be thankful that kdbus hasn't made it into the kernel.

Why is there a systemd folder?

Sorry I can't answer the installer questions . . .
#1856 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » wvdial - solved » 2019-09-26 14:43:42
It wouldn't be in devuan-packages because we pull it directly from Debian unaltered. It most certainly can be accessed through the Devuan repos.

Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians
Live version shows visual relationship of the musicians but has technical "warts" here and there.
Just surrender and swim in it.
#1858 Re: Installation » Devuan ASCII on Lenovo T430 » 2019-09-26 04:46:27
this doesn't answer my question but I guess thank you?
I read the info, i selected the cd rom set, the install never asked for the second nor third iso cdrom.
The installer would probably ask for the second or third iso if the selections you made required packages from them.
#1859 Re: Installation » Devuan ASCII on Lenovo T430 » 2019-09-26 01:49:36
Please read the ISO guide on the index page of the Devuan website that will help you to choose the iso that best suits your needs.
#1860 Re: Installation » Devuan ASCII on Lenovo T430 » 2019-09-26 01:18:07
No. We are currently trying to put out a point release with current upgrades. Hopefully won't take too long. The point release will be announced here and on all other communication channels.

The elogind package which is the source of the linked problem was originally packaged up by Devuan and is also used by Gentoo so it should continue to work even if Debian drop it.
IIRC, Devuan got elongind from gentoo. gentoo didn't get it from us. Maybe I'm misreading . . .
#1863 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » mate-power-manager » 2019-09-23 17:59:24
You already mixed Debian testing (Bullseye) with Devuan testing (Beowulf which is based on Buster). And with Ceres in the mix you're pulling from 3 Debian-based repositories . . . 4 if you include antix.

Faster if you help to make it happen. 
#1865 Re: Devuan » Debian considering going systemd init only » 2019-09-23 14:46:03
The aim of SystemD is RedHat ecosystem. Everything which is not RH-based thing is under attack because SystemD is open source proprietary software (OSPS).
And a new acronym is born! OSPS is brilliant!!

Happy to hear that worked for you!

There has to be an easier way . . .

"chromium field-trial testing" processes can bring chromium to it's knees. It's been on my list for months (maybe closer to a year) to investigate further. I found a treasure trove of information in WTF, Chromium?. In that rant, there is a link to List of Chromium Command Line Switches. Great, that looks useful and even contains one to #disable-field-trial-config. Problem is, I haven't a clue how to get from point A to point B so hoping someone here can lead me through the fog. Thanks.
#1869 Re: Installation » Devuan installing - Where's the option to install openrc by default » 2019-09-20 19:02:53
I believe an "expert" install is required to see that option.
#1870 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] Update on the Update Notifier » 2019-09-19 04:46:14
Actually, I was not speaking about light on resources but unobtrusive visually. 
That's one honkin' humongous popup! This is not in any way to suggest you change a thing. I was just messin' with you a bit . . . 
It's a brilliant execution of a function that many will find useful.
#1871 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] Update on the Update Notifier » 2019-09-18 22:40:30
If I were to use it . . . the lighter the better. Nags even for good things should be minimal. I demand it in my world.
#1872 Re: Devuan » Devuan dual monitor strange problem. » 2019-09-18 00:23:25
What release are you on - jessie, ascii or beowulf (which has not been officially released and still has bugs). Using backports? Mixing repos? There's a lot of important info missing in your description of the problem.
#1873 Re: DIY » systemd users » 2019-09-17 21:29:39
I thought there was a command in dev1fanboy's instructions to remove systemd cruft.
#1874 Re: DIY » systemd users » 2019-09-17 19:18:44
You didn't say what you migrated from/to. Did you follow these basic instructions? Each release might require some slightly different procedures.

There hasn't been systemd-shim ever in Devuan.
