This is good news!  Thanks for sharing.

YEA!   Really happy to hear that worked out for you.   I try to point users in the right direction even when I don't understand the finer points myself . . . something like a librarian who hasn't read every book in the library.

No need to apologize, basati.  Multi-cultural communication is sometimes challenging

We have a style book for how to write in galaxy? a small howto.

At the bottom of every message input box there are helpful links:

The first one takes you to https://dev1galaxy.org/help.php#bbcode which explains the various tags that are available. 

big thanks

You might want to ping parazyd (who does amprolla) on one of the irc channels

#2455 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » trouble setting up local ASCII repo [SOLVED] » 2018-07-20 14:27:16

The danger in not doing it the amprolla way is that the banned package filter won't be there to protect from unwanted cruft working it's way into your system.

hi golinux

I don't understand what you're saying to me.

image devuan 2.0 for raspi3 has no desktop, where ckicable opions???

What do you want to tell me?

Your original post - https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=10783#p10783 -  is very hard to read because the terminal output is not formatted with code tags.  I will do the first entry to get you started and you can edit to complete the rest.   On this forum, the clickable code options are above the text input box.

Who compiles the raspi3?????? He knows what's going on anyway?

parazyd.  You can find him at #devuan-arm on freenode;.

#2458 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] fastest repo? » 2018-07-19 08:39:55

Use deb.devuan.org.   Please see this page for reference.

#2459 Re: Installation » [bluetooth]# scan on No default controller available, not hci0, why ?? » 2018-07-18 03:41:22

Please format all terminal output with code tags for readability.

Clickable options are available above the reply input box.  Thank you.

Thanks for pointing that out.

That's fine, my instruction won't cause a problem if all he wants is kernels, and pins low priority.

Also MXLinux uses sysv init not systemd, and keeping systemd-sysv pinned at -1 should help, also if you keep MX repositories at 100 they rarely will pull anything in unless specified, dependencies will come from Devuan repositories as a priority, and you can pin lower if you want, but I've not had anything odd pulled even at 250.

I don't know, I'm not that stubborn I guess as long as openrc or sysv init keeps working I'll continue to be happy...  But I can understand wanting to avoiding systemd creep.

Yes, it's the creep that is the real issue with systemd.  If it was just an init, there would have been no need for Devuan.

Is using elogind from devuan repositories a faux paux?

It is quite intentional.

Oh also you could add this line to /etc/apt/preferences.d/avoid-systemd

Package: systemd-sysv
Pin: origin "mxrepo.com"
Pin-Priority: -1

Just FYI, packages coming from Debian via amprolla3 are banned but packages coming directly from Debian are not filtered.  That's why we advise against using Debian repos directly.

#2461 Re: Devuan » A devuan manual, why not? » 2018-07-17 19:35:08

@ Basati,

Thank you for putting thought into something that would be very useful for Devuan.  Yes, documentation is needed and has been discussed extensively at times.  msi (also msiism) has been leading the official documentation.  A wiki is already in process here - https://friendsofdevuan.org/doku.php but currently there has not been much progress.  There is also #devuan-wiki on freenode.   Feel free to add your voice and energy to help push this forward.

#2462 Re: Other Issues » Backported Liquorix kernels » 2018-07-17 18:26:45

@scutterflux . . . I hope you are aware that MXLinux is not free of systemd.  Their packages may contain systemd 'hooks' that could be incompatible with Devuan and even try to pull in systemd components (which should be banned here).

You also should use a TEXT editor, not a word processor that leaves undesirable cruft.

#2468 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » basic_config » 2018-06-29 20:54:48

No.  That repo contains Devuan specific or tweaked Debian packages that are being tested.   Those packages will eventually move to merged.

hello

I have to apologize for my behavior.

No need to apologize.  smile  Some have upgraded without issues.  YMMV.

I believe that until now I had not interfered, that the rhythm of devuan is different from what I was used to.

What is clear is that in devuan the LAST thing that matters is the rhythm.

We are hoping that we will be able to catch up to the Debian release cycle by the time that Buster is stable.

I have to say that I feel like a hacktivist again, thanks to devuan. I have been and I stopped being, you all know why, I think.

I have to admit that my anxiety comes from managing 5 email accounts and kmail 5.12 has introduced the components. A real wonder.

I'm seeing this with a package search: [beowulf] kmail-17.12.3-1 not kmail 5.12

big thanks
basati

You're very welcome!

#2471 Re: Other Issues » Firestarter » 2018-06-28 14:28:48

I joined the firestarter mail list back is 2007.  Used it on Squeeze.  It worked well but has been dead for a very, very long time.

#2472 Re: Installation » A problem with the sound in kde on beowufl, i'm migrate to beowulf » 2018-06-28 14:25:59

Beowulf is not ready for primetime yet.  Especially on the Desktop.

@1init . . . Welcome to the forum now that you were finally able to register.    That is a very useful first post!  Persistence always wins the day with Linux, doesn't it.  LOL!

I only have one suggestion.  Above the input box, there is a list of tags available to help format posts.  Your presentation would benefit from the use of code tags like this:

sudo xzcat devuan_ascii_2.0.0_armhf_chromeacer.img.xz | sudo dd of=REPLACEME bs=2M

I was delighted to see that mate-power-manager was finally available for ascii. Installed it to find that there is no option for 'suspend' for power button or suspend button action. pm-suspend works fine - why doesn't mate-power-manager off it as an option? Every night I have to type 'sudo pm-suspend' at the command line to put my computer to sleep...

Bash history is good for executing repetitive commands (up arrow).  You might also create an alias for that.  Best would be to fix the bug though . . .
