#2001 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » How to install Devuan Ceres without starting from ASCII? » 2019-04-12 18:18:28

Have a look at the mini.iso.  Might be a good starting point for you.  linux-image-4.19.0-4 is in beowulf.

PS.  It is advised to never use the Debian repos directly.  Could cause much grief at some point.

The first bits of systemd appeared in Wheezy.

Not a problem, the only place the mouse was visible is an icon that's now something else.

With desktop-base, the Devuan "swoosh" icon should have replaced the mouse.  Hmmmm . . . have to check on that.

@crankypuss . . . If you install desktop-base you will get the complete darkpurpy theme from grub to slim to the desktop including custom colored directory icons.   If you don't do that, you get the rodent.   The parts of the beowulf theme are available from a thread on this forum but they are not yet integrated into the beowulf desktop-base.

I'm in Boston with Greg atm but headed back to the airport in a few hours.  I'm so delighted to to able to catch up, I may just stay up all night (flight leaves at 5:45 am).  Saw your post and have stickied it.  Thanks for doing that.

Thanks for doing this.  Eventually all those segments will be edited and posted individually so stay tuned.

golinux I added it Katolaz' original announcement thread.  https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=15397#p15397

Or do you want it to be its own sticky/thread?

PS: working on day 2 now.

I think it should be its own sticky but you can also leave in the other threads.  Unfortunately I may not be back online to sticky it for a day or so - I do not own a mobile device so can only work through the dyne HQ which limits my online time and will be in the airport much of the next days.

Oh and Miyo in the live chat.....  smile

golinux, we could make this a sticky somewhere, or make it "prettier" for the website....

Thank you for doing this ChuangTzu.  Everything will be posted to the website once it is edited.  If you have the time, please post this list in the announcements section and I can sticky it next time I'm here.  I made one small correction to the list.  KatolaZ' talk is "The Quests for Minimalism" - plural - because there are many ways to get there.

The atmosphere here is amazing.  I think that the brainpower collected in that room could light the city of Amsterdam!

Edit:  I see that Fredd has the title singular on the video.  Will ask him to change that.

I would not like to have to lock this thread so please get it together . . .  HOAS you are the odd man out here.

#2013 Re: Installation » Package synaptic is missing in beowulf, still in ascii and ceres » 2019-04-07 10:20:08

I'm sure that it will eventually return.  Be patient . . .

#2014 Re: Installation » general enquiry from potential user » 2019-04-07 10:18:15

Welcome Roger.  You can also transition your current installations to Devuan.  There is documentation on the download page and ask here or on the dng mail list if you have questions.

32-bit systems are limited to 4GiB of memory (regardless of PAE) but I am presuming that your machine doesn't have more than that.

Hmmm . . . I just went to 8gb of memory on a 32bit pae kernel and it often shows more than 4gb in use.  Will have to keep an eye on that when I get home.

I can't quite figure out what question this is supposed to be an answer to. Perhaps you could be a little less enigmatic and say what you're trying to say.

It unfolded on #devuan.   I was not amused.

gmail can be a problem.  Last fall we had a flurry of complaints about email messages bouncing.  You have a different issue but this reply by Rick Moen might give you some ideas where to start dealing with your isp. Please forgive me if I'm totally off-base.

@Miyo . . . that video link starts in the middle not at the beginning!  Get rid of the &t=1052s . . .

Now off to watch it!!!

The desire for harmful, unjust things is a fatal flaw of our species.  And we never seem to learn . . .

That's because it's on the banned packages list.  Really, who needs "backassed" (thanks Ralph) pkgs like that.

What's elogind?

This should give you an idea.  Among other things, in beowulf, it allows for the removal of libsystemd0.
