Has anybody with the same problems? Cannot burn iso
Sorry pal, never saw that section (su)... my bad!
Read the "release notes", waste of time, had done that originally, then I remember in
Slackware in order to become root you have to su - to become root. That did it!
bobo@foo:~$ su -
Password:
root@foo:~# ufw enable
Firewall is active and enabled on system startup
root@foo:~#
Thanks Head_on_a_Stick!
Just upgraded to Chimaera, installed ufw gives me this error:
root@foo:/home/bobo# ufw enable
bash: ufw: command not found
Installed gufw:
root@foo:/home/bobo# gufw
/usr/bin/gufw: line 2: [: =: unary operator expected
ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/python*/site-packages/gufw/gufw.py': No such file or directory
thanks,

Changed my run box from:

Netinstall iso > Expert
the kbd did not work, reboot from the console did not work, etc
I did a fresh install on a new computer and chose runit during the installation.
After reboot I could not do typing, could not enter X.
I wiped the partition, and reinstalled, installing this time Sysvinit, rebooted and no problems, everything was hunkydorry.
thanks,
Here's Devuan, I got 2 ssd (devuan and slackware-current) on one and freebsd on the other, no problem booting any of the two with the ASUS mobo, I chdose Legacy. That's my heads up for the day.

Lxterminal and qterminal gives a selection of colors and text size.
oui, don't get your panties in a bunch!
I don't use pulseaudio myself for some reasons, I use alsa, never had any problems.
apt-cache search alsa
install alsa-utils alsa-tools and a couple more I can't remember, then lauch alsamixer, unmute with the letter M, configure your window manager accordingly and read, read...

Bon chance, mon ami!
Another example of the sound/volume keybinds:
#volume
definekey top C-Down exec amixer -q set Master 2- unmute
definekey top C-Up exec amixer -q set Master 2+ unmute
Here is another example I use for my keybinds in my .ratpoisonrc:
definekey top M-Tab next
bind space exec qterminal
bind x exec xfe
bind f exec firefox
bind k kill
bind v exec viewnior
bind h exec hexchat
bind l exec leafpad
definekey top Print exec qterminal -e scrot -cd 10
youtube came to the rescue.

I usually use 'foo' instead of the cpe...stuff, went too fast during the installation.
Thanks,
Last sunday, I got a used computer, installed a new hard drive and did a Devuan Jessie install.
Did a manual partition: 20 gigs for / and 2 gigs for swap, chose JFS.
When choosing repos, I chose the auto...repo, gave a warning about no being able to use it, I ignored it and continued with the install, chose GRUB on the MBR, it gave a fatal error, chose LILO and it worked, rebooted, and the repos worked fine
(why the warning?)
Installed a second Devuan (20 gigs for /) on another partition gave me the same repo warning, chose XFS as fs, installed GRUB on the MBR and this time it worked flawlessly. Rebooted, I did an "update-grub" and pulled the other Devuan distro (the first one with LILO, and JFS), uninstalled LILO, and now it is working fine.
Is there a bug with JFS and GRUB on the MBR?
https://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20171016#star
Excerpt:
"I ran into one curious bug involving manual pages. Most Linux distributions include manual pages (often called man pages), though some omit the documentation to save space. Star includes the man command and entries for every command's manual page are included, but all of the manual pages are empty. (The files for each manual page are zero bytes in size.) This causes the man command to recognize program names we give to it, but man only ever displays a blank page.
One final problem I ran into concerned the MPV media player. When I tried to launch the player from either the application menu or command line, MPV would immediately crash. I was able to install other media players, such as Rhythmbox and VLC, to handle playing media files. In the VirtualBox environment I found VLC was unable to play video files and would crash if I tried to play a video. Audio files, however, would play successfully in VLC. This inability to play video files appears to be an issue specific to the VirtualBox environment. While desktop players consistently crashed when asked to play video files, I found I was able to play YouTube videos in the Firefox browser without any issues.
Conclusions
On the whole, I like the ideas presented in Star's design. The distribution is basically Devuan and pulls packages from Devuan's software repositories, but the live media and lightweight environments are great for testing the distribution and for breathing life into older computers. While this approach of starting light and adding only what we need is a solid concept, and proved to be very forgiving on resources, there are some rough edges in the implementation. The missing manual pages, for example, and the media player issues I ran into posed problems.
A few programs I used flashed warning messages letting me know PulseAudio was not available as Star uses the ALSA sound system by default. Strictly speaking, PulseAudio is not required most of the time and, if we do run into a situation where it is needed, we can install PulseAudio easily enough by rerunning Star's welcome script.
The default JWM environment is very plain and empty, which suited me. My only complaint was the constantly updating Conky status panel at the bottom of the screen. I was able to disable Conky, but it required digging into JWM's configuration files. Which brings me to another point: many users will probably prefer to try heavier editions of Star (like Xfce) to gain access to more user friendly configuration tools. The JWM edition is intentionally bare bones and probably best suited to more experienced users.
One last observation I had while using Star is that it is based on Devuan 1.0.0, which presents us with software that is about three years old (or more) at this point. This means some packages, like LibreOffice, are notably behind upstream versions. Since Star is best suited for older computers, this may not be an issue for most users, but it is worth keeping in mind that Star's software repository is a few years old at this point. "
For this you need an internet connection.
I burn this ISO:
devuan_jessie_1.0.0_amd64_NETINST.
It's only 227 GB, cool!
Insert the installation CD,
Choose from the menu: Advanced options > Expert
(don't fret, easy peacy).
Go thru the installation as always, when you get the option of choosing desktop
environments, servers etc, untick all options.
IOW, you install nothing from this page, all you got are the base apps you got
by default at the beginning of the installation, put GRUB on the mbr, finish the
installation, reboot.
Come back, at the prompt become ROOT, do:
# apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
Install what you like, (don't forget xorg)
In my particular case:
# apt-get install xorg firefox-esr sudo ufw gpm firmware-linux firmware-realtek locate localepurge
Next,
# apt-get install jwm gmrun menu lxterminal xfe mirage hexchat scrot numlockx unclutter nvi inxi
# ufw enable
# reboot
Come back configure jwm
voilà !
Happy trails,
macondo123 aka macondo
It seems "lib6c" is missing and cannot install it, any ideas? It gives me this error:
E: Unable to locate package lib6c
My bad! Apologies!
I forgot to updatedb as ROOT.
I installed JWM and the global config file does not exist. The manual lists it as: /etc/jwm/jwm/system.jwmrc
which it does not exist.
The correct file is at: /etc/jwm/system.jwmrc
I copied it to my /home:
$ cp /etc/jwm/system.jwmrc .jwmrc
and edited as USER:
$ nano .jwmrc
and configured and solved the problem.
Hope it helps somebody
