Maybe .xsessionrc has a section for commands ran on logout?

Hello.

Do you have a suggestion how to automatically do so on a DM+WM/DE setup?

Use XDG Desktop Application Autostart: many desktop environments also support the Desktop Application Autostart Specification.

If your environment supports the Desktop Application Autostart, you can start pipewire by symlinking the desktop file to the system

/etc/xdg/autostart

or user

 ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/autostart

or

~/.config/autostart) autostart

directory.

If you are using a desktop environment, window manager, or Wayland compositor that does not support this, a tool like

dex

can be used to add support for Desktop Application Autostart, for example:

dex --environment <window manager> --autostart --search-paths ~/.config/autostart.

Also, pipewire can be launched directly from your window manager or Wayland compositor's startup script...

that makes it a Devuan problem.

I don't think it's a Devuan problem...I think there's nothing complicated about writing a pipewire to the DE or WM autostarting mechanism...

#5 Re: Documentation » [HowTo]Install latests community NvidiaGraphicsDrivers on Daedalus » 2025-04-01 11:42:46

I've never got nvidia to install even by following the instructions above. The msg I get is:

Install linux headers:

sudo apt install linux-headers-amd64

Then install nvidia driver (for newer video cards) with command:

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends nvidia-driver

Or if you using older video card:

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends nvidia-tesla-470-driver

then, if needed, install nvidia-settings

sudo apt install nvidia-settings-tesla-470

Another option would be to use j4-dmenu-desktop. It is a very fast program that can be "hung" on the jwm keyboard keys.

sudo apt install dmenu  j4-dmenu-desktop

And then in .jwmrc

<Key mask="C" key="space">exec:j4-dmenu-desktop</Key>

I am shocked the fools have not just dumped that AI garbage into everything yet like they usually do with such trash.

I agree. I think they will do so when the time comes.

#8 Re: Devuan » Why sysvinit can't create init scripts by itself? » 2025-03-24 12:10:41

Why doesn't sysvinit doesn't create those things automatically?

Because sysvinit follows a design principle which states that designs and/or systems should be as simple as possible.

Hello.

Just install package

xfonts-terminus

and reconfigure konsole with

sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

#10 Re: Installation » How to upgrade to devuan testing? » 2025-03-24 12:06:07

but seriously can someone please fix this pipewire? We using bash scripts to start it, it will blow up someday. I tried to start it up via sysvinit, but couldn't succeed.

Hello. For auto starting pipewire, you can use desktop (or window manager) auto starting mechanism.

#11 Re: Installation » SDDM is all white, can't even see usernames » 2025-03-20 12:47:52

on a multi-user system not allowing you to choose the user to login in with, certainly eliminates anyone using the system for a total security win...

Then yes, it shouldn't be. It's a program bug. And to be honest, I've never had such a problem with SDDM (I use sddm-theme-maldives).

#12 Re: Installation » SDDM is all white, can't even see usernames » 2025-03-19 14:53:36

At least it was one of them -debian pieces of junk that did it to me.

It is for security reasons. The login name is considered sensitive information.

Very nice design! Keep a good work!

#14 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] apt install: So where did it go? » 2025-03-07 12:21:12

but I am unable to convert them to .jpeg to upload to a website that does not accept .heif photos.

Hello.
Have you tried converting those photos using imagemagick? If you have it installed, open a terminal and type a simple command

convert namefile.heif  namefile.jpeg

#17 Re: News & Announcements » Devuan 2024 financial report » 2025-02-25 13:59:34

@stopAI: I think it will be used to pay the devs. They deserve it.

I agree with this idea. That would be really right.

#18 Re: News & Announcements » Devuan 2024 financial report » 2025-02-24 15:18:53

Hello.
I would like to ask (out of curiosity). The financial report states that 54,008.30 euros were donated (total amount), and 4,680.55 euros were spent. And where will the remaining amount be used? I ask because nothing is clear from this report.

#19 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Desktop app menu between different windows managers. » 2025-02-21 16:52:00

I wonder jwm and pekwm are the ones that dont follow the standard.

It is because jwm and pekwm is a very simple wm. It is like constructor, a.k.a. do it by yourself. By the way, you can try  menumaker  https://menumaker.sourceforge.net/

#20 Re: DIY » Announcement of the OpenMATE desktop environment » 2025-02-21 12:47:01

Making a desktop called gnome/2 isn't a problem - but once you try distributing it, your problems will begin. You may be outside of the US but your methods of distribution may not be.

I agree. It's better to come up with a name for your project and not have to deal with those COC lovers from Gnome...

Thank you for the answer.

And I think the most important thing is that software bugs are found and fixed. And as for these bugs, they have always been and will always be, because the Linux Kernel is a complex piece of software.

By the way, thanks for your project. It looks very promising.

#23 Re: Installation » Got wayland on gnome working(AMDGPU only, nvidia has problems) » 2025-02-11 13:33:23

Hello.

For this purpose you can use Gnome auto-starting mechanism.

Who's contributing to these buggy Linux/Debian kernels and why?

It would be good to hear from you, what problems are you having with the Debian (Devuan) kernel? Why are they buggy?

#25 Re: Off-topic » Thoughts on Pipewire » 2025-01-28 14:38:16

I don't know why everyone is attacking pipewire...personally it works for me without any problems. For auto starting pipewire, you can even not use any autostart scripts, but just use the DE autostart mechanism...works very well.
