#1 Re: Other Issues » Can I Run Refractasnapshot on Devuan Daedalus with runit? [SOLVED] » 2025-09-30 20:47:35

Ok guys, I was able to make a snapshot of my system using refracta snapshot tool, although I had to add these lines to "refractasnapshot.conf" exclude list or it wanted to copy my entire home partition with almost 3.5TB of data on it:

snapshot_excludes="/usr/lib/refractasnapshot/snapshot_exclude.list"

/home
/home/
- /home
- /home/
- /home/*

Then it squashed my system onto a folder on my home partition but, it wasn't an ISO file, it was suashed onto some file formats, then I had to take those files in that squashed file folder and tell refracta snapshot to use that to make the ISO, finally I got an 8gb iso file, I am in the proccess of burning it to a Usb pendrive and try to boot and install a usable devuan system from it, I'll be doing that very soon, I'm a very busy man and I hope to let you know how it went the sooner I can!

Hi all, like greenjeans said, gnlug works fine, that's the ones I'm using on my systems, good luck!

Galculator, Speedcrunch & Qalculate are working fine on my system, some of them like Speedcrunch you'll have to do a little configuration to your taste, just let me know if you need a little help with them, cheers!

Hi tux_99, My opinion is that they want to scratch or delete any piece of software that were created by white [insert your favorite slur or insult here] old men and exchange it by software created by them, the new moraly & intellectualy superior race, it's all about politics, Not about better software!

#9 Re: News & Announcements » Chrome based browsers and uBlock Origin » 2025-07-02 02:48:01

I use Brave browser here all the time on Devuan and on all my PC's and I use Opera and Brave on my smartphone, I stopped using Firefox almost 3 years ago, it was too sluggish on both of them, on my PC's and on my smartphone!

I tested Librewolf (installed directly from their website) here on devuan and it works very fine with Youtube videos and with Netflix, just be sure to enable DRM option in the settings!

@ golinux, thank you very much, it's vey sad whats being happening in other linux forums bro, my brother got a lot of negative comments and hate there, almost got the boot (almost banned) on one of those forums because he posted a B. Lunduke video about the first release of XLibre, one of the developers was so extreme that he got very angry and told my brother that anyone there didn't cared about Xlibre or his wack creator, that was a very, very crazy situation!  Anyways we feel a lot better being here, thanks again!

Hi to all the guys and gals here, I love that here there's No, or almost No CoC, I hope to have a good time here on these forums, I say let's leave politics to the politicians, me and my brother came here and are refugees, fleeing from other linux distros whose forums and linux OS are already infected with politics and negativity to or towards anyone who thinks different than them, thanks to all the people involved in creating both, these forums and Devuan linux, cheers! smile

A client entered a restaurant, he ordered a soup, when the waiter came with the soup and put it on his table, the client looked at the soup and saw there was a dead fly on his soup, then he called the waiter and told him, "waiter, there's a fly on my soup", the waiter looked at the soup then looked at the client and said to him, "don't worry. we won't charge you extra for the fly"! big_smile
