New Vendefoul Wolf based on latest Devuan Excalibur

This so called "re-spin" was already present in Devuan 5 https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=5912

It has grown to be, in my opinion, one of the most interesting Devuan derivatives around, with its choice of KDE plasma on top of Xlibre

So I'm just leaving a notice here while I'm installing it https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distr … =vendefoul

I've tested it. Calamares encrypted install is broken. I've tested it with root encrypted and got initramfs commandline from grub.

Continue to test.

So, the first issue - encrypted install is broken.
The second one - "lobo" user name appears after each restart in login field of SDDM.
The third issue - screen capture utility seems not to appear after "print screen" key is pressed.

Not an issue just a point of attention. 25% of OnlyOffice is bought by VK (VK ~ FSB, former KGB in Russia) It's not an issue if it does not connect to internet , just a matter of choice.

Re: New Vendefoul Wolf based on latest Devuan Excalibur

New discovery - in KDE session Alt+Tab does not work as expected.

I was trying out kde plasma a few weeks ago on a vm and had the same issue.
I had to import the default settings in window keyboard shortcuts or something.
It was just a case of clicking the import button and the defaults filled in automatically.
Originally the shortcuts for windows were all blanked out.
I donbt have the vm anymore so unsure of the exact name of the settings off hand now.

Yes. I restored the default behaviour. Now Alt+Tab works but the problem is that this require manual intervention.

One more issue I've found in this distro: "no touchpad found". Touchpad works somehow (no 2 finger click or similar just very basic usage) but cannot be configured. xserver-xlibre-input-libinput and xserver-xlibre-input-synaptics are installed

Does it look safe? Or it's a bit closer to "security disaster"?

Exactly. I picked this derivative because I've really liked the idea: Devuan with openrc and KDE without unnecessary staff and easy to install. But ...
