#1 Re: Devuan » Devuan 6 Extremely Poor Quality Control. » 2026-01-29 19:54:32
Really...why did they leave?
@camtaf greenjeans is probably saying that the best Debian devs where the ones that left Debian because of systemd and they moved on to create Devuan instead. :smile:
There is probably some truth to it, no experienced and self respecting dev with Unix background would put up with such an abomination that systemd is.
I'd also mention that Devuan isn't filled with degenerate virtue-signalling commies that make it a significant side quest (at best) to hate on, police, and disparage (I'd imagine previously) significant portions of their userbase (White people, men, sexually normal/vanilla, non-commie, or any mixture of those in between).
If "anti-facist" registered child sex offenders like Jeremy Bicha (because, at least he's not a gasp n-n-natzeee am I right guys??) are still allowed to be a publically active, contributing member of Debian -- well then it makes perfect sense as to why people would no longer try to assist keep the trains chugging over there.
#2 Documentation » Install Adoptium Temurin OpenJDK Binaries via deb installer pkg repo » 2026-01-22 20:16:20

Eclipse Adoptium provides prebuilt OpenJDK binaries from a fully open source set of build scripts and infrastructure. This is useful for the development and usage of certain Java applications. The Adoptium DEB installer package allows you to do this on Devuan and derivative distributions, with slight modification.
ℹ️ IMPORTANT
The following name schemas are being used for this example:temurin-<version>-jdk e.g.: temurin-8-jdkhttps://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb <distribution-release> main e.g.: https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb trixie main
## Steps
### Prerequisites
Login as superuser—initializing a full login environment:
su -Ensure the necessary packages are present:
apt install -y wget apt-transport-https gpgDownload the Eclipse Adoptium GPG key:
wget -qO - https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/api/gpg/key/public | gpg --dearmor | tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/adoptium.gpg > /dev/null
### Configure the Eclipse Adoptium apt repository
⚠️ WARNING
In the case of Devuan's distribution releases, the user has to replace <distribution-release> with the Debian release equivalent. Check Adoptium's full list of supported distribution releases for comparison.An interesting example might include someone on Devuan Ceres (indev, unstable), which doesn't have an equivalent release in Adoptium's repository. The example below defaults the most up-to-date stable release on Debian that Adoptium supports (Trixie):
echo "deb https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb trixie main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/adoptium.list
Create the adoptium.list file, with the proper repository information for the package manager (apt) to source from:
echo "deb https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/deb <distribution-release> main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/adoptium.listUpdate apt's repositories:
apt update
### Installation
Install the Temurin version required:

Hi all,
I've been trying to, on-and-off, get Hyprland to be able to screenshare sound and windows/screens. The primary way that I have historically done this on systemd based Linux distributions (OpenMandriva Lx) is via Vesktop.. This has also been an issue with things like attempting to stream or record video on things like OBS.
In Vesktop, when I click the screenshare button in `i3` on XLibre, it simply works now that I am able to launch `pipewire` properly on boot. However, when I switch to Hyprland, when I click the screenshare button on Vesktop, the program simply refuses to open/display the window to display the possible sources for sharing at all. Peculiar.
In an earlier post, I shared that I was able to get Pipewire to work on Hyprland, which from my understanding is what is relied upon for the sound portion of the share for compositors:
Hi all,
Wanted to record how I got Pipewire sound working in Hyprland on Devuan 6 Excalibur.
Within /home/$USER/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf:
... ################# ### AUTOSTART ### ################# # Autostart necessary processes (like notifications daemons, status bars, etc.) # Or execute your favorite apps at launch like this: # pipewire on devuan openrc (after installing pipewire-audio) exec-once = wireplumber & exec-once = pipewire & exec-once = pipewire-pulse & ...Obviously, this is based on OP's initial post/script. Thanks OP.
---
NOTE: For whatever reason, screensharing isn't working. I've been trying to look at the pipewire article on the Gentoo wiki (I'm using OpenRC), and the screensharing article on the Hyprland wiki to see what I can experiment with. Previously on OpenMandriva Lx (systemd distro) where Pipewire was working OOTB. Now that I have Pipewire launching, I'm curious what exactly is missing here where I can't screenshare.
Pipewire article - Gentoo wiki wrote:Note:
Wayland systems use PipeWire to provide desktop portal functionality such as screen sharing and remote desktop.I think it might have to do with this "xdg-desktop-portals" thing.
Curious when Xlibre is working on my system again if that will still be the case.
I've been trying to further experiment, but I'm stuck.
In short, here are some relevant notes that could indicate the source of what the solution may be:
1. Created the scripts that the pipewire article on the Gentoo wiki suggests
2. Attempted to follow the GitHub Gist the Hyprland wiki (linked above) suggested
3. One output I do get whenever I stop Hyprland and get booted back into the TTY is the following:
dconf-WARNING **: 12:34:41:884: failed to commit changes to dconf: Cannot autolaunch without X11 $DISPLAYOne thing I've seen suggested on the net a lot is to do something like the following:
export DISPLAY=:0I do not see a change as a result of this, at least from my understanding.
