#2 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] gimp not showing the menus . » 2023-09-16 21:16:08
As debian user i say no its not normal behaviour every version of gimp works there so its devuan bug.
As a "Debian" user . . . are you currently or have you ever actually used Devuan? Until you are more familiar with Devuan, it's probably best not to make sweeping, misleading and erroneous statements like that unless you like egg-on-face, of course . . . 
#3 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Shotwell dependency confusion » 2023-09-13 21:22:03
Sorry I don't have a solution just my experience . . .
A very long time ago in simpler times, I used shotwell and liked it. Then it started to not-shot-so-well. Went around and around on their mailing list. Nothing I tried fixed it I moved on to gtkam . . .
#4 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » installing a theme from the official devuan package repository » 2023-09-12 17:05:33
What DE or WM are you using? The default XFCE has all the past custom Devuan themes available
The link works just fine but the visible link is truncated so you cannot copy/paste it directly. Use the complete URL.

Charon795 . . . Certain themes are available by default and you can switch them in Xfce from the "Settings - Appearance" options.
You can see the Devuan specific artwork in our git store:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documenta … t/graphics
There are also previews on the forum for the first 5 Devuan releases.
#6 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Nvidia and Chimaera - driver 535? » 2023-09-10 19:28:09
Good that you got it solved. However an note . . .
If "Chimaera" was any part of the setup and you typed "Chimeara" as you did in your initial post, perhaps that was partly at fault?
I am going to edit that post to prevent further confusion . . .

ruenoak . . . jaromil thinks he knows what the issue is and is supposedly working on it. He'll post here when it is fixed.
#8 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Keyboard issue, theme installation » 2023-09-07 08:14:02
Hi all! I am a new devuan and linux user. i have some questions and also i am facing some problems
Welcome to Devuan!
2. I want to put a theme from the following site: https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1661959
Chose the Colloroid theme. The question is how to install it instead of the standard one?
You can either put it into /home/[youuser].themes/ or in /usr/share/themes. You will need to put it into /usr to have the theme work on synaptic etc.

First signs of the wall breaking.
Or false-flag bait . . .
Don't think that Devuan is likely to be lured back into the fold . . .

Congratulations! 
FWIW I use labels and UUID in fstab . . .
#12 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Chimaera sound/music issues » 2023-08-29 22:15:40
. . . anyway, isn't Devuan a rolling release?
No! At least as to what I understand a rolling release to be. It is a "stable" release. "testing"is a rolling release until it becomes the next "stable" release. See:

I don't know how or why it went down that way in arch (and don't really care). But I do know how and why it went down in Debian. Re-posting these links for those who have missed them. Pehaps they will answer some of your questions:

How low have we fallen to be discussing a reddit thread here . . . seriously . . . worst place ever for accurate information . . .
#15 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] manually mount disks always have different mount points? » 2023-08-29 01:37:42
I used it to get root privileges in thunar to change fstab entries to UUIDs etc. back in jessie days. Isn't that what you asked for? However, it probably doesn't work anymore. There are likely new ways of doing it today. I never mess with that stuff after it's set up so can't remember specifics . . .
#16 Re: Installation » Trying to install wine32 results in deleting all gnome and xfce » 2023-08-29 00:46:06
Did you consult any instructions before launching into the install? I had wine installed on jessie but my system was 32 bit so much easier. I have not installed wine on 64 bit chimaera for reasons like you are describing but have discussed the process with those more in the know than I am. The takeaway for me was that wine requires 32 bit libraries alongside the 64 bit libraries and everything has to be done in a particular order. Some finger crossing is also probably a good idea . . .
#17 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] manually mount disks always have different mount points? » 2023-08-28 23:24:14
It used to be easy with gksu thunar but gksu was removed/deprecated years ago. Search and there might be current alternatives.

Well then you can ignore the link I just added above. If you are used to gnome, carry on. Hope you can get things working and sorry for the noise . . .

When installing the system, instead of Xfce, I chose to install Gnome.
Why? I never could figure out the gnome3 desktop. That's when I stopped using it a very long time ago. So sorry, can't help except to mention the Mate desktop which uses gnome2.
I will drop here a link from over 10 years ago for your reading pleasure :

#22 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Browsers won't launch » 2023-08-27 00:26:10
Did I misread something again . . . sigh . . .
This is what confused me because I have no idea what that means:
I tried to install through the Chromium terminal . . .
What desktop did you install? FF should be installed by default.
#23 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Browsers won't launch » 2023-08-27 00:17:47
Installation of packages is handled by apt either via the command line or the synaptic package manager. Have you read this page?

The intentions are to spread and propagate Devuan, the name occurred to me while watching a movie about wolves... just like that.
Did the AI write that non-answer also? LOL! I surrender . . .
