Here's a more memorable url where you can find those package lists:
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/
had to replace the native LXQt shutdown options with Obsession since none of them worked
I have an lxqt install, and all the logout buttons work. We have the same policykit packages installed (except you included the l10n package). Mine started out as openbox with lxpanel. You have libpam-gnome-keyring. I don't. Other libpam stuff is the same.
Maybe it's in the 'power' packages. I have libupower-glib3 that you don't have, and I see that xfce4-power-manager is running in mine. Not saying you need to do anything about it. All the logout buttons work in your iso. But since so many people run into problems with logout buttons, I figured this was a good place to drop my observations.
The ascii kernel version was finalized when stretch went into freeze. I think that was around a year ago. But your point about the documentation is spot on. Most of the debian documentation applies to devuan. (Except the systemd stuff). And even wheezy docs are mostly accurate for devuan jessie.
Howtos are supposed to go in the Documentation section. It even says so.
How-tos and Tips & Tricks contributed by Devuan users
There isn't much official documentation yet, but I think the idea was that some of the howtos might develop into official docs.
The way to get around needing different versions of grub for uefi vs bios is to include grub packages so you can install what you need. Support for this is in the installer (more or less, depending on the version.) Another way to deal with it is to skip installing the bootloader. This will work if you already have a working bootloader and can add another entry. (i.e. multiboot linux setup.)
Oops. You asked about making a snapshot, not installing. OK, refractasnapshot has an option called force_efi. It will work if grub-efi-amd64 was installed and then replaced with grub-pc without autoremoving the associated packages. (use apt-get, not aptitude to remove grub-efi)
More (edit2): Refracta isos have grub-pc installed and grub-efi packages included in the iso. The devuan desktop-live-uefi iso has grub-efi installed and the grub-pc packages were included (somewhat accidentally.)
A link to the wiki should be added to the announcement post that was linked above.
I don't think the documentation section needs to be broken into categories. Maybe later.
I can confirm that it boots on uefi hardware.
Suspend works from the menu. On lid closure, all it does is turn off the screen. I could still log in through ssh (I added the server).
If you want to get ahead of the repo, there are newer versions of refractainstaller-base and refractasnapshot-base.The cli installer script can now do uefi install, and both -base packages have additional rsync excludes for /lib as a symlink to /usr/lib.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/refracta/files/tools/
Symlink /lib not an issue if you upgrade from jessie, but if you do a debootstrap install of ascii or install from an ascii installer iso (soon to be real) then you'll end up with /lib as a symlink. If you don't exclude some stuff in /usr/lib/live you end up with an extra copy of the system. You'll know this happened because your iso will be a lot bigger than you expected.
...in this locked thread: http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=5934#p5934
I thought that, too. Then I posted on it. I guess the OP meant to mark it 'solved' instead of 'closed'. When you enter the thread, look on the right side, just above the message, it says 'post reply' instead of 'topic closed'. Also, subject says (Closed) instead of Closed:
cynwulf wrote:How about checking why it's installed?
$ aptitude why libsystemd0
Is there a way to do this if you don't have aptitude installed? I don't see a similar apt command....
Not exactly the same, but it lists packages that depend on lsd0:
apt-cache rdepends libsystemd0
You may have to chase down some dependency trails until you recognize something that you know is installed.

Subject: [DNG] Devuan Package Mirrors
Dear D1rs,
it's a pleasure to announce that we are finally ready to setup new
Devuan package mirrors, i.e., mirrors who will be able to serve the
whole Devuan package repository.
If you are willing to host a Devuan package mirror, please read first
through the "Devuan Package Mirror Setup Walkthrough":
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan_mir … hrough.txt
The walkthrough assumes that you know how to use rsync and how to
setup a webserver with a few rewrite rules.
The new package mirrors will be using the repositories merged by
amprolla3 at pkgmaster.devuan.org. We ask that package mirrors have a
valid (static) IP, and that they accept their mirror to be listed
in the Devuan website.
Devuan's goal is to setup a global CDN of package mirrors in the next
few months, and this preliminary phase will inform about the best
strategies to achieve that goal. The setup of a proper mirror network
is part of a medium-term plan (and investment) that has already
started and will consolidate and develop several aspects of the
current Devuan's infrastructure, improving its availability,
robustness, and fault-tolerance.
We would like to thank all Devuan users, contributors, donors,
developers, maintainers, and enthusiasts for their continued support.
HH
KatolaZ, on behalf of The Dev1Devs
Replace 'allow-hotplug' with 'auto'.
I made a devuan-live (xfce) iso with backports kernel and wireless for people with newer hardware. I don't remember if it has newer xorg or not.

Thanks!!!
Here's the direct link to the Refracta forum:
http://www.debianuserforums.org/viewforum.php?f=67
Main index page. (definitely worth a look.)
http://www.debianuserforums.org/index.php
Great! Thanks.
I didn't say it before, but it's nice to see you around these parts. Maybe Dean will show up. He does that every once in a while.
Make sure you have non-free enabled in your sources. Then you should be able to find the package.
cynwulf, thanks. I didn't even think of that. Sorry to say I haven't been to DUF much in the past year or two. Yes, please talk to JD about it. That would be an appropriate place for the reasons you state.
And in case anyone has any doubts, Refracta is not dead. We're just without our own meeting place at the moment.
I can log in, but I don't know if anyone else can. Would someone please let me know if you can or can't log in?
I think you need to install ca-certificates and maybe openssl. (aptitude tells me that openssl is installed because of x11vnc, but I don't know if you need it. It might come automatically with ca-certificates.)
No genius here. I just keep kicking stuff around until it works.
While I'm here, I'll share more information about what happened.
After the tapatalk migration was completed (for all their forums) they sent out a mailing to all forum owners (and apparently some others, too) informing us that the migration was complete and we would be seeing new features. They mentioned an option to make it financially rewarding. They also invited a reply if we had any questions.
A few days later, I went to the refracta forum, and I saw a PayPal Donate button on the front page, with the words, "Support refracta.freeforums.org by making a donation." Well, I don't have a paypal account, and I'm not aware of any financial agreements that I might have with tapatalk.
I replied to that email with questions, basically stating the above and asking for an explanation. I got no reply. After a couple days, I disabled the forum. I didn't want anyone to use the donate button unless I knew what it did. About two weeks later, another mass mailing went out with some explanation regarding donations and "Gold Points". Here's the gold points FAQ -
https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/tapatal … 37910.html
TL;DR - They ask you to donate to support refracta, and they get the money. The donator gets to not see ads. ($5/month to do what noscript does for free)
I haven't contacted them again, but I just looked around on their support forum to see if I could learn anything about backing up and migrating my database to some other host. I found this -
https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/tapatal … 8070ed3695
TL;DR - no, you can't do that. (Note: It's a recent post. It's possible that a moderator might respond with more information.)
So here's the current status of the board:
- It's disabled, so you can't post.
- You can log in and read.
- You can log in and send private messages.
I have backups of the posts. I don't have backups of the user accounts. I don't know any way for anyone to back up their own private messages, other than to open them and copy/paste the content.
Forum backups are at the ibiblio site. Instructions for use: unpack and practice your grep.

Now I need to do something else to get my mind off this.
Do you have to start a conversation or something?
Yes, but you need to understand that the conversations are sometimes asynchronous. It might be minutes or hours before someone answers you. Stay logged in.
I'm not sure where the best place to post upgrade reports would be. Didn't think about that yet, but I plan to do it. My first report will be posted today or tomorrow.
I'm having some difficulty understanding what you want to do. If devuan is already installed and can connect with wired ethernet, you should be able to run
apt-get install firmware-realtek
to get the wireless working.
If you want to install devuan on a computer that has no CD drive or USB ports, that's gets a little more difficult. Upgrading an old ubuntu to devuan might be possible, but it would be difficult. In fact, someone reported in irc last night that they did exaclty that. I don't recommend trying it in this case. A debootstrap install would probably be easier. Or pull the hard drive and connect it to another computer to install the system, then put it back where it belongs. Or make a separate partition for devuan and install from hard drive. (Did you already try that?)
Looks like the answer is yes. Only thing I changed was gtk3 to gtk2.
dh_auto_configure -- --with-gtk=gtk2 --enable-html --enable-gio --enable-spell --enable-sourceview --enable-icon-browser
Here's the code:
https://git.devuan.org/fsmithred/yad/tree/master
Packages are here (0.38). I made them for jessie, but they work on ascii.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/file … _packages/
What does html support do?
Gary, it's not a bug. The key for the new repo was created Sep 4. I don't know what date it was added to the keyring, but I assume it was before your last upgrade. You already got it.
fungus, OK, pamac. Got it. Thanks. I'll bet they did that on purpose.
I don't know an onion address, but it might be in the works or already exist. Stay tuned.
UPDATE: This just in via irc:
"the onion link is here: https://devuan.org/
under "Packages""
and it goes to pkgmaster.devuan.org
I expect that mirrors can set their own refresh rate. Most times they check, there won't be any changes, so nothing to do.
Dyslectics Untie! It's pacman. Debian/Devuan has update-notifier in jessie. The name has been changed to gnome-packagekit in stretch, and you can't have it because of the chain of deps. There is a way to have conky show the number of updates available. (Search dng archives or ask me nicely and I'll figure out what I did.)
