Thanks, I will try adding into /etc/apt, though I am not sure about mixing different releases.  My backup is to modify ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml .  I must be alone in using Openbox as my DE.

nope, you're not alone: I use Openbox for many years now and I love it

I have kidos who want to play with that and I think I can rerfurbish a laptop to experiment

I know this is an old thread. Apologies for resurrecting it.

Does this still work with the latest release of Devuan? I don't use Steam, but have a friend who does and he is sick of dealing with systemd. I want to recommend Devuan, but he won't bite if he can't have his Steam. wink

Thanks in advance.

thanks for sharing your experience installing it onto a physical drive, I'll try it to

  I like the LMD(evuan)E and it is devuan under the hood, so you know it will be good and stable.  I need to install on metal and use it more for better testing, so I can't give better feedback, yet.

Edit:  I have installed it onto a spare partition on a physical drive.  The grub install worked fine and now is labeled as LMDE and not debian.  It seems responsive and fast.  It has been a while since I have used the Cinnamon desktop, so I may not be the best tester to provide feedback.

I gave slitaz a try today, i just love how they have created such a tiny distro that can do so much for old hardware. I managed to install it to a partition on an old laptop i had collecting dust and it works perfectly, even picked up the ancient wifi dongle i used with way back.

I meant, an installation time of about 5 seconds for a total of about 8 GByte of software is not that bad, right?

is not!

If you use old hardware - install glxgears to check if your graphics card it up to it.

Hi everyone!

Virage GNU/Linux, aims to offer a full-pledged desktop environment for artists and musicians out of the box, you can start your projects inmediatly after the installation.

hello / hola

thanks for let me know about this interesting project.. specially about the XanMod kernel

Virage 3.1 Beowulf uses the Linux XanMod 5.6.17 RT kernel to improve the system performance 25%+ over other systems and keep a responsive, smooth desktop experience even in critical runtime applications

No conocía sobre ese tipo de kernel. gracias por traerlo a la luz, en tu sitio web decís que ya hay una versión basada en Beowulf ,

do you have experience using that kernel in a 'normal' beowulf installation ? I'm courious about it..

In the above case, the problem was that PCManFM was unable to communicate with gvfs (well, sort of). PCManFM and gvfs use D-Bus, a system for interprocess communication, to communicate with each other. Now, for things like communication between the file manager and gvfs in your X session, D-Bus uses per-user instances of its message bus deamon (visually speaking, one telephone network per user for the communication between the programs this user works with). If you just start X from the command line without further configuration, that message bus deamon won't be started. Therefore, PCManFM won't be able to call gvfs and ask it to mount a device. Putting

exec dbus-launch

into your ~/.xinitrc file instructs the xinit program to start that per-user d-bus deamon for the session and so provide means of communication between PCManFM and gvfs.

thanks for this informative and to learn paragraph,

useful for me since I had problems with automount using Thunar/PcmanFM after I start login to X without lxdm

PS : I think I prefer Thunar
