Refracta for me over Debian anyday still using the lxde Beowulf spin as a daily works well on a low spec compaq.

For anyone interested I use an app called clipgrab which is a single appimage - easy to use works with youtube and dailymotion.
#4 Re: Devuan » Hasn't Devuan started to roll yet? » 2021-08-30 19:28:42
I'm not sure I understand the question. Right now, debian and devuan are out of sync with respect to "stable" and "testing". Chimaera will move to stable and be officially released when we fix a few issues with the isos and get the documentation written. After that happens, I expect work will begin on the next release.
It should be a matter of a few weeks, not a few months.
But as usual, bottom line is "When it's ready."

Hi Pedro,
the behaviour this - the machine loads to desktop and no connections with wicd show. The firmware for iw4965 is not loading every boot. Have to reboot to get it to - then I can connect. Is there an answer to this problem??

Trying your 32bit distro on HP dv6000 - a problematic machine which doesn't get on with some distros. But seems to be running this Devuan spin very nicely so far menu tool is very useful to use - so nice effort.
#9 Re: Off-topic » What other distro are you using (besides devuan)? » 2020-07-19 02:28:46
Debiandog - various

Jwm kit it would be nice if you supplied a 64bit .deb with customised JWM for 64 bit Devuan users.

Thank you Fsmithred for prompt reply and for Refracta and the work you do for Devuan.
P.S. Problem with waiting for eth0 waiting resolved by changing to auto in /etc/network/interfaces

Tested this iso running on an old HP Pavillion dv6000
Had to install libmtp-runtime and crda. Lingering issue is when booting I get "Configuring network interfaces ifup waiting for lock on /run//network/instate.eth0 - taking ages to boot
Referenced here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=892229
Is there a fix for this bug??
Otherwise this is a sweet system - Looking at using this longterm.

Personally think Iron is a better choice. However choice is good. If your worried about your freedom and privacy then there is also GNUicecat.
Start chewing those toenails.

Yeah well you can rant at Debian and they don't listen. Tried to talk to su maintainer and got know reply. I came to the conclusion they don't care.

Thank you darry!
Hey...that yradio sounds interesting! I'll have to check it out. Thanks!
Hi Miyo,
As I said originally this was a Puppy/Debian Dog app but there is if follow the thread a tar.gz to unzip and use. Requires xdotool, mplayer, Conky and ffmpeg and yad.

Thankyou Fsmithred.
I'll test this out in a Devuan install.

Earlier "release when it's ready" was a feature of good old Debian too, but after Debian was occupied by some corpo minds it was forced into a regular release cycle with very bad quality even of so called "stable" branch. To get Debian 7/8 stable enough we had to wait it to pass into an oldstable state before it was a good idea to upgrade. Most likely Debian developers were forced to integrate systemD unnoticeably and ASAP to not allow users to understand what happened.
n.
Yep totally agree that is what I like about Devuan as well doesn't follow the release cos we have too, wait until things are sorted. Debian used to have good releases like Jessie, Wheezy, Stretch...
Buster being released with this Dpkg being broken to me was a real let down. I read all the release notes tried all the work arounds and could not get the complete result that I needed for everyday use. I am stunned frankly that it was not corrected before release. Really not good enough.
Anyway enough of that - thank goodness for Devuan (and I realise it is a small team) - keep up the great work.

Quote"Oh, you are my hero, Phil. Nice find!
I made a test refracta iso because it's easier to include a custom initrd, and it seems to fix the issue. DVD boots without the udev warnings or any other delays, and then I have no mouse or keyboard on the desktop. Plugging a mouse into the laptop wakes up the trackpad and the keyboard. Plugging in a usb flash drive does not wake up the inputs.
Test iso is here:

@fsmithred Thanks for the new Refracta Buster Iso you seemed to have fixed the dpkg problems that I have had with Debian Buster and Devuan Beowulf - lovely to use so far Compaq CQ61. Was able to use dpkg-reconfigure tzdata without problems.
Gdebi-gtk which I use working well with .deb.
Will keep testing a big thank you for this.
#22 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf Beta is here! » 2020-05-02 01:58:08
Well dpkg appears broken, though I overcame dpkg-reconfigure tzdata I found using Gdebi-gtk or dpkg-i to install .deb packages gave an error message about something missing /usr/sbin.
Anyway overall for a beta very useable and fast on this Compaq CQ61.
#23 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf Beta is here! » 2020-05-01 07:48:36
Ok deb-conf is installed so saw this issue..
Applied below in terminal - fixed.
