Almost every bank is a "terrible company", and none of those terrible companies are going to release the source code for their online banking apps...

Fair point...

#2 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » What DE do you prefer to use on Devuan? » 2026-10-09 15:41:23

@Camtag there's a reason its puppylinux's default desktop interface.

#3 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] Virgin Money Refuses Help to Provide Desktop App » 2026-09-13 16:56:02

Sounds like a terrible company...

Although have you tried the web browser approach?

IF they don't offer that, THEN they are SERIOUSLY bad.

#4 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Devuan with jwm 161 MiB, very light and fast... » 2026-09-13 16:55:01

@rations depends on how much ram your computer has I think.

Checked and I use under 500MB with just that running and I have 32GB of ram.

I don't know the formula, of how much ram is used vs how much you have.

Someone might know, but it ain't me.

#5 Re: DIY » Problem with qemu » 2026-09-12 14:50:03

I don't remember exactly what I did, but I figured out how to get the package installed in the qcow2 anyhow.

so no issue here.

Another words getting dhcpcd installed.

#6 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Devuan with jwm 161 MiB, very light and fast... » 2026-09-12 14:48:48

@brday I use jwm + jwmkit on a regular basis. So no one is not accurate.

I have a guest that cannot access the internet I have, because I forgot to install dhcpcd.

But... I cannot get inside of the qcow2 with an installation nor can I install anything remotely needed to get it working.

So I wish to ask,

Is there a way to forcibly give internet to a vm? In either virt-manager, qemu, or virtualbox.

???

#8 Re: Installation » Some stupid questions to prepare for Devuan installation » 2026-08-22 23:35:55

@delgado I never understood the push to go beyond 360p.

For me that is sufficient for my videos.

Anything beyond? Idk....

#9 Re: Installation » Some stupid questions to prepare for Devuan installation » 2026-08-16 19:25:18

Don't think that is a stupid question.

But yeah, nvidia drivers have issues sometimes. older ones work as well on open firmware as nvidias proprietary stuff I hear, but ZFS?

Never used it.

#10 Re: Off-topic » troubled of linux behaviour (or is it devuan=?) » 2026-08-05 17:04:12

Here is another, spacefm from devuan/debian packages crashes almost always after maybe at most 5 clicks, sometimes less.

I bet debian did some bs to eff spacefm up though.

#12 Re: Off-topic » yet another, xorg yet again, but... » 2026-07-27 04:48:22

@Kristof12

That to me is a disqualifier, guess its Xenocara or XLibre.

#13 Re: Forum Feedback » Withdraw Admin Rights... » 2026-07-27 04:29:15

To be fair, sometimes Code of Conduct can be very broad in certain issues. Maybe Dev1galaxy.org's is too?

#14 Re: Off-topic » yet another, xorg yet again, but... » 2026-07-18 00:50:15

@tux_99 so does that mean its better or worse than being built in C programming language? or is it the same

PS, because the rust crowd wants to force their views on everyone to intimidate everyone into using rust, I hope they get triggered.

They are no better than systemd developers and other bloated linux framework developers and especially gnome developers... they are as bad as them even.

Its written in assembly and its so small!

I don't know his plans, but I think he plans to make it as functional as xorg or xlibre, but at a fraction of the size/bloat.

https://github.com/isene/frame

Too early to know about how secure or fast or stable it will be though.

#16 Re: Devuan » Age Verification » 2026-07-06 16:25:39

ID Verification... is more accurate

#17 Re: News & Announcements » xorg-server 21.1.9 - Security fix release » 2026-07-06 16:24:28

@steve_v golinux is right, you can be a pain in the butt sometimes...

oof.

#18 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » (Fixed) Removable CDROM / DVD / Blue-Ray Devices do not Automount » 2026-06-05 04:03:23

@alexkemp don't feel guilty or accountable to them. They have no right to force their views on you.

If they want to enjoy gnome and hate criticism of it, that is their problem.

As for me, any software that is built like corporate software needs to be used with caution as it is likely crap.

If its a game I might tolerate it to a point, but if I don't have interest in it, like Desktop Environments, then i say... screw that.

And yes, I include even Lumina desktop.

Its the least bad of them, but I do just fine with jwm and jwmkit.

#19 Re: Off-topic » word is that flatpak 2.0 WILL depend on systemd » 2026-06-05 04:00:48

@Anonymous Yeah... flatpaks are as good as snaps.

Which is to say, both suck

#20 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » (Fixed) Removable CDROM / DVD / Blue-Ray Devices do not Automount » 2026-06-01 06:06:05

@stargate-sg1

That's a hell of a picture.

But yes, redhat's crap is like sticking a piece of toast with cream cheese into a vhs slot.

Very dumb and shocking that anyone would think such is okay.

can someone tell me is the narcissistic who came up with the captcha for this website?

It is damn impossible to solve it

example:

get the first digit only multiply that digit by 60 subtract it by 14 and then add it by 131: 93061

I do that and get:

540117

I type this in and solve captcha and it refuses to let me through in registering.

Also, I am very confused by why people not logged in can only see the post that is started and not the ones inside of it.

Very weird

https://devuanusers.com/member.php

This website is badly setup. Can someone tell me how to get in? This is driving me nuts.

EDIT:

Apparently it was supposed to be the 9 taken as just 9...

I hate confusing ass-captcha like that. Its worse than google's lol

#22 Re: Off-topic » word is that flatpak 2.0 WILL depend on systemd » 2026-05-27 00:19:51

@EDX-0

Sounds like the garbage mentality is going to work...

Redhat devs... corporate linux devs...

One word:

Starts with A

means butthole.

*sigh*

#23 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Please, reccommend me a display-manager that isn't garbage » 2026-05-20 20:51:01

@greenjeans also screw redhat above that x1000 for infecting linux with all sorts of bloated frameworks that no one should want or need. tongue

#24 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Please, reccommend me a display-manager that isn't garbage » 2026-05-20 18:49:12

@steve_v i have used console-tdm though and it worked for Hyperbola. The only reason I stopped using it was that I decided to use startx and then sx which is even more minimal

There are forks of console-tdm on github I think though and other such things similar.

I recommend looking in github for what you want.

And yes, screw wayland big_smile

#25 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Please, reccommend me a display-manager that isn't garbage » 2026-05-18 02:14:11

depends what you consider garbage.

I consider minimal yet easy to use to be non-garbage which if so would mean console-tdm which isn't in debian repos to my knowledge.

But if you mean easy and user friendly, something like lxdm or lightdm or slim might fit.

Depends on which works best right now.

I honestly have no clue. Stuff breaks sometimes with upgrades in annoying yet minor ways.

I have however had no problem with lxdm usually and sometimes slim is good.
