It's my first post here.I use your OS since about one month now.Runs great but it uses a lot ram at start up ( about 800MB  with htop ).Right now i'm under excalibur XFCE where i installed TDE; and under TDE the ram used is about 460MB at start up.Xlibre seems to consume more ram than Xorg.
Best regards,
Amol

Biggest changes:

- TDE 14.2.0-DEVELOPMENT
- Xlibre 25.2.0
- new background images
- kernel 7.1.3
- all specific tweaks are packaged in darkness-tweaks
- i386 crossinstaller with kernel 7.0.14
- rpi crossinstaller

Notes:

- Persistent partition at 3GB when booting the ISO from a USB stick: As long as any future ISO written to the stick is smaller than 3GB the data on the partition is unaffected.
- Virtualbox/VMware guest graphics: "modesetting" is used for "VirtualBox GPU".
- Laguage: TDE language packs of unused languages are removed when booting from iso, so that translations of missing texts come from english and not from any other language pack
- deactivate 3D acceleration on Lenovo X61 / Intel GM965/GL960
- dark theme for OpenSCAD

I am really interested in your Darkness project, as the combination of Devuan and the Trinity Desktop Environment sounds fantastic.
However, I noticed that the official download links point to a Chinese domain (klepp.cn). To be honest, this makes me a bit hesitant and worried about downloading and running the image, given the general security concerns associated with third-party or unexpected regional domains.
Could you please explain why the project uses a .cn domain for hosting the ISO/IMG files? Are there any alternative official mirrors available in Europe?
Thank you for your time and for your work on this distribution!
Best regards
Jirkas

Can you post an image just of the error message? I can't read the text

You can click the image and it takes you to the page it's hosted on, then when there click it again for a larger version.

- Kernel 7.0.9 i686
- TDE 14.2.0-DEVELOPMENT
- Devuan Ceres

Download:
- https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness- … 386.img.xz
- https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness- … .xz.sha256

Please note: for the old DXXX ATOM CPUS you must use the "modesetting" driver, otherwise the GPU will crash:

cat > $MNT/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf << XXX
Section "Device"
  Identifier "Intel Graphics"
#  Driver "intel"
  Driver   "modesetting"
  Option "NoAccel" "True"
  Option "DRI" "False"
EndSection
XXX

So dust off those old machines on your shelfs and basements, you can run a decent OS on them smile

The image is essentially the same as you get when running /root/rpi-installer from the ISO above, but with these changes:

- default language is english
- you can change the localisation and language to german and russian using /root/change-language

Due to "some" severe security vulerabilities in older kernels I have created and uploaded a maintenance release.

Biggest changes:
- kernel 7.0.7
- linux-vulnerability-mitigation installed and activated
- minor fixes in locales now uses translated manpages etc. by default
- raspberrypi installer /root/rpi-installer included - in case you want ceres + TDE + darkness on your PI.

Download:
- https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness-20260517.iso
- https://darkness.klepp.cn/iso/darkness- … iso.sha256

uid/pwd:
- root / toor
- user / user

Please use this ISO or install "linux-vulnerability-mitigation" on the older ones.

- right click on a free space of the panel (just above the CD icon)
- select "Configure Panel ..."
You'll most likely want to reconfigure the clock, too smile
