#2176 Re: Devuan » Why are pulseaudio files present in Devuan? » 2018-12-30 18:19:00
My understanding is that it just fools FF into thinking pulseaudio is there. It has been discussed off and on for the last several years on the DNG mail list and this very forum so a little search fu might give you some ideas. I'm still on jessie so no need to go there yet. Good luck and let us know how it works for you.
#2177 Re: Devuan » Why are pulseaudio files present in Devuan? » 2018-12-29 21:50:59
So it seems the libpulse0 is whats really dependent.
That is true even in jessie. It is similar to libsystemd0 that it really doesn't do anything if pulseaudio is not installed but it is a cosmetic/mental annoyance.
If you decide to remove/disable pulse, a nice xfce panel volume control is volumeicon-alsa.
Thanks fo the suggestion.

Gremlins in the machine? LOL!
#2180 Re: Devuan » Why are pulseaudio files present in Devuan? » 2018-12-29 17:22:39
Not sure whether that's possible anymore. You try installing parts of xfce4 from scratch without the meta package and without recommends/suggests. If pulseaudio shows up in a package's list of dependencies, you can decide whether to install it or not. Disclaimer: My daily driver is still jessie.
#2181 Re: Installation » Xen and the art of VM » 2018-12-26 17:49:35
The installation process did not seem to follow the new (?) guide :-
https://devuan.org/os/documentation/ins … stall.html
Maybe that guide was not from the live iso. Now I know how to do it, I may have a few more goes at installation, including the ncurses interface.
Geoff
That guide is for the classic Debian installer which most of our isos use. Only the -live isos use the refracta installer. We are currently working on a similar guide for the refractainstaller.

@yeti . . . WOW! Just saw your new sig. Made my day.
#2183 Re: Off-topic » Holiday thread/traditions » 2018-12-25 17:17:51
Holiday traditions are a form of social control and propaganda. All of them pretty much suck and disrupt the sameness of days. I ignore all of them. I do acknowledge the solstice and equinox - reminds me how small we are in the universe - and of course, the birth of Devuan. LOLOLOL!

Goodbye Devuan and Debian! Hello Freebsd! I'm leaving linux land. It was nice to visit this forum.
Sorry to see you go. I hope it wasn't that one weird thread that chased you off. Wander back in any time. 
#2187 Re: Devuan » A philosophical diatribe: How to avoid having users - and how not to » 2018-12-22 02:10:19
As a result of this thread some changes are being made to the Devuan website. A description of the available isos has been added to both https://beta.devuan.org/ and https://beta.devuan.org/get-devuan (the mirror/download page). And now there are visual guides (with screenshots) for both a classic install and a graphical install. These changes are now available on the beta site for review and comments.
https://beta.devuan.org/os/documentatio … evuan.html
https://beta.devuan.org/os/documentatio … ption.html
https://beta.devuan.org/os/documentatio … stall.html
https://beta.devuan.org/os/documentatio … ption.html
So why do they they look different than the rest of the site? Well, an earlier version of these pages was prepared last spring for inclusion in the ASCII isos that use the debian-installer and it was easier to keep them in that format.
There is still more to come with the addition of similar walk-throughs for the refractainstaller GUI and cli.
#2188 Re: Devuan » RFC: Boobian » 2018-12-22 01:34:30
@cynwulf . . . I know 'tis the season to be grumpy but can you please take it down a notch? None of us here are happy about the direction Debian is going. But let's just move on and do something constructive. Maybe you would if you even used Debian or Devuan these days . . .
@Will W. . . . As I indicated in my previous post . . . if packages that you use are removed in Debian, feel free to build and maintain them for Devuan. If no one steps up to do that, you're on your own to get them however you want. Just don't bitch about it here expecting someone else to do it for you.
#2189 Re: Other Issues » Problems to install and run Unetbootin » 2018-12-21 19:22:04
Here you go again. Devuan is not compatible with Ubuntu/Mint packages.
#2190 Re: Other Issues » mintstick_1.3.9_all.deb, problem to formate usb. » 2018-12-21 19:19:17
i was trying many options and not one works ... means i was not even able to install one of those ... this was the only one that i was able to install ... but ... now, i don't remember -- for your question i think that it was probably installed from some place at linuxmint.
That's a sure way to a Frankendevuan! Please read: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
How can i get mintstick for Devuan?.
A better question is why you think you need "mintstick". Can't you just use the dd command? If you want more features take a look at fsmithred's refracta2usb.
#2191 Re: Other Issues » mintstick_1.3.9_all.deb, problem to formate usb. » 2018-12-21 18:18:11
Result from a search at pkginfo.devuan.org:
0 results for "mintstick.py" in any (in 15.372464ms)
So where exactly did you get this deb?
#2192 Re: Devuan » RFC: Boobian » 2018-12-21 04:20:37
And also, the most important question (from which I should probably start): if WebOOB package be still shipped by Devuan?
Sure, if someone steps up to maintain it long-term after it gets removed from Debian.
#2193 Re: Devuan » RFC: Boobian » 2018-12-21 03:17:40
Sorry, I wasn't aware of a discussion going on IRC, are there any outcomes of this discussion or is it still going on some channel?
It was just a link dropped on #debianfork. Almost no discussion.
Did you join this forum just to try to stir things up? Seems a little odd for a first entrance.
#2194 Re: Devuan » RFC: Boobian » 2018-12-21 02:47:05
A link about that was posted on IRC. I actually saw the "boobian" thing at that link. You can't fix stupid.
#2195 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » MATE 1.20 on devuan ascii » 2018-12-20 17:56:14
Have you read the Release Notes? Especially the section on session management. You also mentioned a "mintmenu". Where did you get that? Mint/Ubuntu pkgs should not be used in Devuan. Try a dialog native to Devuan.
#2196 Re: DIY » [SOLVED] Creating a bootable iso file » 2018-12-17 19:38:56
I just tried to make a backup, but the file is not where the app said it would be. It said the file would be in /home/snapshot, but after saying it was finished, there is no snapshot folder in home.
Maybe you're looking in /home/<user> instead of /home (which is a root directory)? Or maybe it failed. Check /var/log/refractasnapshot_errors.log.
#2197 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [Solved] Moving application towards panel ends in full screen window » 2018-12-17 18:08:57

Note it is even worse in beowulf.
#2198 Re: DIY » [SOLVED] Creating a bootable iso file » 2018-12-17 17:04:43
When you say different method, do you mean an app other than refractsnapshot? Or do you mean another method with refractsnapshot?
I use rsync for data backup.
#2199 Re: Devuan » A philosophical diatribe: How to avoid having users - and how not to » 2018-12-17 00:39:57
I'm dropping this link here because I think some of you might not be on the DNG mail list. Discussion of "What should be the tasks of the Devuan Installer" which is relevant to this thread. If you subscribe to that list you'll get a better idea of who Devuan users are. Same goes for Devuan IRC channels.
#2200 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Firefox 60 (ESR) poor print quality » 2018-12-16 14:53:04
The problem can be ignored on i386, but is fatal on amd_64.
Ah . . . I am running a 32 bit system.
