Certainly after skim reading through this load of bollocks:
It's not bollocks to me.
#2 Re: Intergalactic Communities » LCOS : Lunduke Computer Operating System » 2026-11-03 10:19:21
The first official version has been released. I'm not planning on switching but I agree 100% with his outlook on things. I hope he succeeds.

FTR, every time I've booted, including the time with Xfce before I added Mate, I get a blue Devuan wallpaper.
#4 Re: Installation » freia desktop-live test iso » 2026-11-02 18:38:05
unless you or somebody else is already doing that.
I already have Mate installed. Is there something you would like me to check? Give me simple instructions. 
#5 Re: Installation » freia desktop-live test iso » 2026-11-01 18:49:40
I'm not sure if this should be reported here, but gdebi doesn't work.
#6 Re: Installation » freia desktop-live test iso » 2026-11-01 16:47:38
I'm not sure if this input will help, since I deleted Xfce and put on Mate, but the problem I had during past experimentation on Freia, with the Mate-settings-daemon continuing to run while trying to shut down the computer and hanging it up, has disappeared. So that's good.
#7 Re: Installation » freia desktop-live test iso » 2026-11-01 15:17:06
The release notes and readme files on the desktop both say excalibur. Shouldn't that be changed to avoid confusion?
Also, the first problem I've noticed is that I can't move the top panel to the bottom.
#8 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] 30+ sec. delay after login after xfce4 to mate? » 2026-10-29 22:27:29
This sounds like the same delay that I get on my older computer, although I can't be sure.
This fixes it for me. Open /etc/default/grub as root.
Find the line called: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
Change it to read:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet loglevel=3 splash noresume"
Save and exit. Then run sudo update-grub.
Hopefully it fixes your issue. If it doesn't, it shouldn't hurt anything.

What brand KVM switch is it? Mine is StarTech and never had a problem with them (I have a 2-way and a 4-way). I tried a cheap brand once but the looks on the monitor sucked so I returned it.
#10 Re: Devuan » Why not use runit? Do you guys use runit? » 2026-10-17 14:41:03
Personally I think the increased adoption of runit and OpenRC was driven by systemd's anti sysvinit propaganda. Some willingly swallowed this with the added "...but systemd is not the answer" clause. Others utilised it as a means of distancing themselves from the critique being directed at sysvinit in order to undermine it and establish systemd as the de facto standard. Those people who jumped ship and dumped on sysvinit did a lot of the damage in my opinion - they did the devil's work, by word for word repeating sysvinit's supposed deficiencies. Apparently vindicating the systemd cabal in the process.
This is a very astute statement. But with that being said, I have used runit and it works very well. To me it did seem to start up quicker than sysvinit, but I never timed it with a stopwatch. It probably just seemed like it.
#11 Re: News & Announcements » xorg-server 21.1.9 - Security fix release » 2026-10-13 23:34:42
Yeah, as the Spaced Linux Dev, I'm strongly looking at xlibre. Thoughts? Pluses, minuses? Thanks in advance.
It is used by another distro that I use everyday . . . I haven't noticed a thing so it must work fine.
#12 Re: Intergalactic Communities » Spaced Linux » 2026-10-13 22:09:03
So why was this thread moved to Intergalactic Communities from Devuan Derivatives ? I didn't see a reason given anywhere.
#13 Re: Forum Feedback » [SOLVED] Recent Posts (Active Topics) only shows last 24 hours » 2026-09-20 12:30:39
I'd like to add my thanks as well. I have mine set for 48 hours. 
#14 Re: Intergalactic Communities » Spaced Linux » 2026-09-12 17:22:01
Start by introducing the derivative to:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewforum.php?id=9 andSee what the response is and go from there.
Doesn't this thread count? Or I guess you mean from the developer.

If I were in your shoes, I'd find another bank again. Something smells rotten with what you described.

I just found out about this derivative from DistroWatch. Is there a reason it isn't listed on the Devuan Derivatives page?

#17 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Errors and warnings during booting » 2026-08-08 14:04:59
I have to say that I share Altoids opinion about suppressing the messages at boot time.
If you follow the instructions I gave, that does not remove all the messages. That merely moves the log level down from 4 "warning" (which is the default) to 3 "error" (i.e., real errors).
For more info, read this: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.c … .html#ID19
#18 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Errors and warnings during booting » 2026-08-07 12:48:46
You're chasing your shadow. If your computer runs fine, there is nothing to do, other than checking Altoid's suggestion to see if you have the latest bios version for your computer, and/or suppressing the message about the "errors" I gave.
#19 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Errors and warnings during booting » 2026-08-07 12:28:42
ACPI errors are usually meaningless. I've had them on my Asus computer for the last 12 years. If you want to stop seeing those "errors" on boot-up, do this:
Open /etc/default/grub as superuser and find the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet loglevel=3 splash". Save and close the file.
Then run sudo update-grub in the terminal.
#20 Re: Packaging for Devuan » [SOLVED] Can't install wine in devuan freia » 2026-07-23 23:49:29
Probably because Freia is still in testing. It's not yet an official release. (And the question is probably more correctly addressed to Debian anyway.)
#21 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Chromium 150.0.7871.46 Will Not Load After Password Update » 2026-07-08 19:01:25
Update to Chromium finally arrived.
#22 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Chromium 150.0.7871.46 Will Not Load After Password Update » 2026-07-07 23:16:12
Read the last post in the bug thread I linked. The fix has been merged. Package soon.
Yeah, I should have wrote "still no release" instead of "still no fix." Still seems way too long for the fix to arrive. I don't see how such a major breakage like this slipped through the cracks to begin with. But crap happens, I guess.
#23 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Chromium 150.0.7871.46 Will Not Load After Password Update » 2026-07-07 21:58:19
Here we are 2 days beyond a major breakage and still no fix. I don't think it's unreasonable to have expected a fix by now. Floorp is looking really good right now.
#24 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Chromium 150.0.7871.46 Will Not Load After Password Update » 2026-07-06 08:17:55
My solution: Ditch gnome-keyring.
In my case that's one of the first things I do after an OS install. So it must be something more than just gnome-keyring?
#25 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Chromium 150.0.7871.46 Will Not Load After Password Update » 2026-07-06 00:35:24
I'm having problems as well with this version. I have 3 profiles in Chromium, and I can use profile 1, but profiles 2 and 3 just won't load. I can see the screen start to be drawn, but it disappears after a split-second. Not happy about this. (Trying out Floorp . . . seems okay.)
