#1 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Vuu-do Linux! *New Openbox-64 iso's (1.0.7) up 2-02-18*!! » Today 15:51:51
So I ran a live session again and tried to delete the keyrings. At some point I noticed there are 3, gnome, debian, and devuan. When I try to delete them all it breaks apt, and it can't be fixed. I'm not a computer guru so I don't understand why trying to delete the keyrings keeps breaking apt. I would like to install this version on bare metal but I'm concerned that if installed this same problem will appear. Any ideas or suggestions?

Ah, okay, I see. Thanks for your patience. 
Are you planning to release a Vuu-do based on Excalibur?

It's not installed in the Vuu-do iso's
I'm confused. Then what caused the keyring not unlocked message?

Problem is the gnome-keyring package here, I solved it in Vuu-do by uninstalling it
So if this problem pops up in a fresh install, all I need to do is delete gnome-keyring package? (I don't store passwords anywhere except on a piece of paper.)

Hi greenjeans. Thanks for these builds. Today I downloaded the Devuan-Mate-Mini-6-20250901_1322.iso version and ran it in a live session. I added the Chromium browser to the live session and when I went to open it, I got a message that the keyring was not unlocked. I dismissed the message, and Chromium worked as it should. To see if I would get the keyring message again, I closed Chromium and then reopened it. I got the keyring message again, but again after dismissing it everything continued to work.
My question is, if I install your spin, will I continue to get this keyring message?

Okay, thanks. And thanks for the heads up on yt-dlp.
#8 Re: Off-topic » yt-dlp to depend on deno or another supported JavaScript runtime » 2025-10-25 12:42:44
I'm neither an expert nor clueless on things like this . . . but, I'm wondering, does adding something like deno or node to your system make it less secure? Also, I didn't see anywhere on the link above that it will be needed on the next release of yt-dlp.

I'm not crazy about FluxBB but it sure beats the crap out of discourse. Discourse doesn't work in the Pale Moon browser and they (Discourse) don't care two hoots about it.

As someone involved with the PeppermintOS project, I’m genuinely happy that we’ve been able to introduce many users to Devuan.
I'm happy to see that someone involved with Peppermint is here on the Devuan forums. I wonder if you can tell me, will Peppermint ever release versions with other DEs in addition to Xfce? Specifically, Mate.

Will it ever get to the point where it just wouldn't be feasible anymore for Devuan to be based off of Debian? If it ever gets to that point, would Devuan go totally independent, or is there too few developers for that?

@Ron, I see you've identified yourself and saved us all the trouble. Thanks.
Yeah, it's a two-way street. And I would just direct any to this post by golinux:

BTW, pointing out that you're a left wing nut does not automatically make me a right wing nut.

#17 Re: Packaging for Devuan » gnome-hearts is gone in Daedalus? » 2025-01-17 22:50:29
From https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnome-hearts:
This package is not part of any Debian distribution. Thus you won't find much information here. The package is either very new and hasn't appeared on mirrors yet, or it's an old package that eventually got removed.
#18 Re: Freedom Hacks » the right procedure ? » 2024-12-25 16:52:58
I'd suggest reading this: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.c … urity.html
It's just as applicable to Devuan (and any other Linux distro).
#19 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Just reinstalled - can't connect to repos » 2024-11-29 20:36:39
Been some issues with dev.devuan.org for a while now, couple of other threads on here about it.
Yeah, in my haste I forgot. What threw me was having the problem immediately after a reinstall (which never happened to me before). Followed certain advice and got connected to the repos and updated. Thanks everyone.

I just reinstalled the OS (crowz), and I can't connect to the repos to update the system. Does anybody know if the repos are down? I never had this problem before when reinstalling. Thanks.
#21 Re: Other Issues » Clearing the DNS cache » 2024-11-25 22:04:12
I don't have an rc.d folder in /etc. I have a rc0.d, rc1.d, rc2.d, rc3.d, rc4.d, rc5.d, rc6.d, and a rcS.d folder. But according to a post in another forum, Devuan doesn't cache DNS. Is that true?
#22 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Where are repository data files stored? » 2024-11-18 22:55:40
In Devuan, like all Debian-based distro's, you add a repository to the /etc/apt/sources file.
Some .deb installers, Vivaldi for an example, automatically adds its repository during the installation.

So I wanted to clear my DNS cache and did a search for how to do it. So I found to run either:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart or sudo service networking restart (from here). When I ran them (I ran both) I got a message that it was deprecated. The exact message on both was:
Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not re-enable some interfaces ... (warning).
Reconfiguring network interfaces...done.So I have two questions: 1) Did one, or both, of these commands work or not? 2) Is there a better way to clear the DNS cache?
#24 Re: Off-topic » A Libreoffice Writer ODT that Crashes the Devuan Desktop » 2024-11-05 21:13:31
I seem to recall that when I had funky files like this in Windows, what I would do was open it up, then do a copy/paste, and paste it into a new document and save. Then discard the original. Not sure it would work for your problem or not, or if you would even have time to do it before it freezes.
#25 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Pluma bug and proposed fix: Where do I report, and what happens next? » 2024-11-03 22:52:19
The place to report it would be somewhere here: https://github.com/mate-desktop/pluma/issues
However, I noticed that the current version is 1.26.3, but the version that is in Devuan 5's repos is 1.26.0, so it may be already fixed (??). But I didn't see this particular bug mentioned anywhere on the linked page.
