#2 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » How to set default desktop? » 2023-11-02 16:55:59
Guys,
How is setting a default desktop done in devuan?
I think you should be able to do this by installing a login manager that lets you choose which desktop environment to use. I think gdm may be a good choice.

Thanks for your replies!
For now I have enough to read and to try out. If I need further assistance, I'll start another Thread.

Thanks so far. I already have the synaptics(4) manpage printed out. I'll read this very soon.

Hi there!
I'm looking for a piece of software to turn the keyboard and/or trackpad off.
Since my laptop often runs unattended while it is open, a cat could accidentially* enter 'rm -rf /' by walking over it. And while I'm typing my thumbs often hit the trackpad (very annoying).
Does anyone here know a piece of software that can help?
TIA
Gregor
*well, maybe not-that-accidentially - it's a cat ...
PS: I made a similar posting on debianforum.de. As soon I have a solution I will "close" this topic.

To me this sounds like you want to build something like a single-purpose-distro. I'd dive into the docs on distribution-building.

#9 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Howto hibernate » 2023-08-28 20:21:55
When I wait long enough, the computer goes down, the power LED of the case is blinking, and I can wake up again with a keystroke. More or less what I wanted to see.
I'm no specialist in power saving things, but AFAIK your computer doesn't hibernate (AKA 'suspend to disk') but suspend (AKA 'suspend to RAM'). 'Hibernate' means that you can disconnect the machine from main power completely.

Playing the file with ffplay gives me a clear picture. See https://test.szaktilla.de/Bildschirmfoto.png
Same picture with vlc here.

Can you link to one of the mp4 files?

That should be possible...
Well, just let me know...

Is this thread still alive?
I would like to 'polish' the German translation.

#14 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Howto hibernate » 2023-08-24 22:24:07
For the first requirement: AFAIK this requires a BIOS that supports this.
For the second: Startup is simple, but takes time because from the computer's point of view it is a 'cold' boot - the computer has to go through its normal hardware startup including GRUB. So don't expect a surprisingly speed until GRUB's countdown has ended.
I use hibernation on my 'main' box, e.g. I can continue watching a movie from where I left the day before.

Thanks for that information!
Now I know that I was right to dislike Network-Manager at first sight.

#17 Re: Forum Feedback » [SOLVED] Theme request » 2023-08-20 22:44:20
@Gregors, if you make a theme and email to me I can probably stuff it in as an option.
Thank you – but I think the zoom feature of FF is the right solution for me. I didn't try that at first because I thought that zooming would be applied to all pages I go to. But FF seems to remember which zoom factor to use for each forum I visit.
#18 Re: Forum Feedback » [SOLVED] Theme request » 2023-08-20 19:16:29
Oh, I think there is an misunderstanding. Sorry. I am talking about this forum, not Devuan.
But I think I already found a way to make things more confortable for me – I am using the zoom feature of Firefox.
Sorry to bother ...

Hi there,
I've tried all the forum themes - but I didn't find one that really suits my specific needs. Right now I am using one of the dark themes (cobalt I think).
So,to make it short, is there a chance there will a theme where the text size is at least doubled?
Or, can I use some kind of personal css file? Well, this question might be one for the guys who take care of fluxBB.
TIA

Hi there,
I have trouble installing my printer (Epson ET-M1140):
Searching epson support I found an
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2
package that has „unmet dependencies“:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 : Depends: lsb (>= 3.2) which is a virtual package and is not provided by any available package
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Remove the following packages:
1) epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2 [1.1.49-1lsb3.2 (now)]
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] n When I try to compile that from source make complains about several „undefined references (e.g. „undefined reference to `ppdOpenFile'“)
So, what can I do to make my printer print?
TIA
