Slonik: Thanks very much for going to the trouble of laying out the steps like this for me. I will definitely try it when I reinstall, and will let (all of you) know how it goes. Like I said earlier, this will no doubt have to wait for next weekend. -- supusr
Thanks to those who replied. As I stated in the initial post, the drivers/installers on the Brother site don't work in my case. I think the system-config-printer route may possibly work -- I've used in on Arch. Since I would have to first reinstall Devuan to try it, it will have to wait until I have the time to do that before finding out if it solves my problems. Maybe next weekend I'll have the time. Thanks again.
I recently became depressed about Debian after reading more about the direction systemd is going with age verification and about the current problems with the leader election, and installed Devuan Xfce. I have used Devuan before and like it fine, except that I was not able to install the above-referenced printer. On Devian Trixie that printer installs automatically with good drivers that allow for all the basic functions, but on Devuan it does not. I am back on Trixie for now due to this issue, but would like to use Devuan if I could get my specific printer going. I've tried the drivers available on the Brother website, but they don't work. There must be a .deb package available since it automatically installs on Debian. If anyone has a solution I would like to come back to Devuan.
Yes, OK. Thanks very much.
Approximately how long might it take after Trixie is released for Excalibur to be ready?
Is there a backports repository for Devuan Daedalus? Does is largely mirror bookworm-backports, with the Devuan modifications?
Thanks to you both. I found the March 2023 one. Btw, as of Debian 12 (testing at this time) there are no separate .isos for Debian, either.
Nothing newer than 2021? That version wouldn't reflect the new Debian policy of including non-free packages, would it? This seems non-responsive to the original post. Am I missing something?
I have been using Debian Testing (bookworm) for a couple of months and it is great, especially since it now includes the non-free software necessary for wifi, etc. The only problem is systemd. I would like to use Devuan Daedalus Xfce if it would be essentially the same thing without systemd. If that is the case, where is the download link?
Thanks very much, aitor.
I know there are Xfce wallpapers at /usr/share/backgrounds/xfce. I can't find the Devuan ones, however. Any help? (I'm using Devuan 4 Chimaera Xfce.)
Thanks very much Head_on_a_Stick and ralph.ronnquist. I'm back on Debian for the moment for other reasons, but I'm sure these replies will help me resolve my conky issue when I return to Devuan. I really like the idea of Devuan.
Head_on_a_Stick, thanks very much for the reply and the opinion. To be more clear, my question should have been: Can someone tell me how to generate the cut information from /etc/os-release? I am sorry I was not precise enough the first time.
I have come over from Debian. Using my old Debian conky config works except for the line to show the distribution:
Distro: ${alignr}${distribution}
This yields Debian, not Devuan. Is there a way to have it display Devuan GNU/Linux 4 (chimaera)? If it helps, the info I want to display (the pretty name} is in the 1st line of the output of: cat /etc/os-release
Thanks, in advance.
OK. Thanks.
I have been using Debian (testing) with snapd installed. That allows me to install the newest snap package for firefox and refresh it when desired without changing any other sources or having to pin or prioritize any packages. My first question is whether I can do the same in Devuan or whether there are issues with the tweaks that have been made to eliminate systemd.
Very well. Thanks.
I currently use debian testing (stretch) with the following repositories:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ stretch-updates main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main
Could I change these sources somehow to perform a conversion to devuan ascii? If so, what would the process be?
