#177 Re: Other Issues » PySolFC missing from repos » 2023-09-16 16:31:09

Thank you for this insight - I hope someone will manage to restore it to the repos in due course. smile

My 77 year old sister is already missing it, & I only upgraded her computer the other day! wink

Presently, I have xshisen & xpat2 installed, but she doesn't like them....

Any idea if & when this might return?

#179 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Crowz 5.0 Daedalus amd64 release » 2023-09-16 08:30:21

Loving this version of Crowz, & so easy to install. smile

50% of my stack of computers are now running Crowz, the others are using Devuan Live (installed).

Excellent work!

#181 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] kde Menu Editor - Command Lines Not Allowed? » 2023-09-12 11:19:50

Probably need to run it through a terminal.....

...something like xterm -e "command"

#182 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Messed up keyboard characters » 2023-09-07 14:39:17

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"

So it is set to the US keyboard layout.

Is your actual keyboard a US model(?).

#183 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Messed up keyboard characters » 2023-09-07 13:34:35

When installing, Devuan default Country is Italian, (because that is where it is produced) - you need to edit that, before installing.

Otherwise, as I just added to my previous post, setxkbmap <yourcountrycode>

(As in setxkbmap uk)

For the Virtual Terminals it is -  loadkeys <your country>

#184 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Messed up keyboard characters » 2023-09-07 13:22:44

It's more likely to be 'country' related - we (in the UK) have to change from American, quite often, as all the symbols are in the wrong place ( wink ).

setxkbmap <yourcountrycode>

(As in setxkbmap uk)

#185 Re: Devuan Derivatives » New Refracta ISOs » 2023-09-07 08:38:49

Ah, don't get me wrong, in no way am I criticizing your distro....... I was just putting forward alternatives for your little netbook..... smile

It would be nice to see a distro using LXQT though.... wink

(P.S. Have downloaded EEE-lxqt & no-dbus to take a look.)

#186 Re: Devuan Derivatives » New Refracta ISOs » 2023-09-06 16:08:00

Maybe try using JWM or IceWM instead of a 'desktop', both are quite lightweight in use, but look like a desktop.... wink

#187 Re: Devuan » Question for devs... Debian 12 can be installed without systemd » 2023-09-06 09:30:58

Devuan is the original 'Debian', the developers were part of the Debian community, until the debacle of systemd - I used to run AntiX, but decided to change over to Devuan, as they were certain to not add systemd, & so here I am today..... smile

#188 Re: Devuan » Question for devs... Debian 12 can be installed without systemd » 2023-09-05 16:48:35

AntiX & MX Linux developers have been supplying Debian systemd free distros since the original debacle. smile

I did hint that they might like to use Devuan instead, but they stuck with Debian, so, yes, it can be done. wink

#189 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Install from foreign sources » 2023-09-05 08:53:28

I'd wait - if your distro includes it, fine, otherwise...... wink

#190 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] No boot device. Press any key to reboot machine » 2023-08-25 13:06:36

Can't remember for sure, but one of the installations I did needed to be connected to the internet for the grub files to download & be installed - it may have been this one, but wouldn't harm trying.

#191 Re: Devuan » Can anyone fill me in on why and how exactly systemd took over Linux? » 2023-08-22 18:47:55

Commercial companies want to own Linux, so far we have been able to keep going, & reject them, but for how long we can, I don't know, so I keep my hand in with the BSDs just in case... big_smile

#192 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Crowz 5.0 Daedalus amd64 release » 2023-08-22 09:00:34

Excellent news!

However, Sourceforge is showing 2x fb downloads, & one ob, but no jwm.....

...found it under the Download Button.... wink

If everything works in FF, then it is down to Librewolf developers to catch up - this sort of thing often happens with video down loader software.

#194 Re: Devuan » Can anyone fill me in on why and how exactly systemd took over Linux? » 2023-08-22 08:39:50

RedHat wanted to make money out of support contracts.

Systemd was to be the Linux equivalent of MS Windows Registry - a complex all in one place for configuration - which most people wouldn't understand - so therefore enabling them to sell support contracts to businesses.

#195 Re: News & Announcements » The Register's OS desk writes about Devuan Daedalus » 2023-08-22 08:31:58

He missed the point that Debian forced its followers into using systemd, the reason Devuan came about, because they didn't give a choice - & it wasn't until later that they capitulated, by which time they had lost a considerable amount of users & developers to Devuan - & we have no reason to return to Debian.

#196 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] How to hide Firefox titlebar » 2023-08-18 16:37:17

It should disappear if you press the F11 key - press again to get it back.

#197 Re: Off-topic » make desktop looks like windows 11 » 2023-08-17 17:00:28

I see, but you do know that there are lots of different looking desktop environments available, just a quick apt-get install away..... wink

Then you can configure most to your own idea of perfection..... big_smile

So, welcome to freedom for you & your computer... smile

#198 Re: Off-topic » make desktop looks like windows 11 » 2023-08-17 08:36:42

I have to ask - why do you want it to look like MS Windows?

Lots of people seem to think that if they make it look the same, it will act the same.......wrong! big_smile

#199 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Deleted top window bar » 2023-08-16 08:21:25

Was this on XFCE, the default desktop environment?

(If not, you should have said which environment you were using!) wink
