I guess that's why it works for me. I only use speakers that plug into my headphone jack. Hahaha!
Carry on. I'll be quiet now.

Well, the directions that I gave always does away with the global automate on startup for me. Good luck.
#3 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » PulseAudio always resets to mute » 2020-12-16 19:14:41
I don't know if this will work, but there are a couple of things you can try...
1. Open a terminal, and enter alsamixer. If it opens in the terminal, use your arrow keys to move to the right until Automute is highlighted. Then press the down arrow to disable it.
You may have to choose your sound card first by pressing F6...
If alsamixer isn't working on your system, then you can try...
2. When you first boot your computer up...BEFORE adjusting the volume on the panel, open Pavucontrol. Go to Output Devices. If the volume icon is highlighted (muted), press it to unmute it. THEN move the slider beneath it.
Both of those options have always worked for me, but I'm unfamiliar with Cinnamon.
Good luck
#4 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Obmenu-generator problem » 2020-12-07 15:10:41
Not sure what the problem could be. The instructions on the MiyoLinux website always works for me...on Ascii, Beowulf, and Ceres. ???
If HoaS's package works for you then, by all means use it. 
Did you install the depends according to the "Debian-based" instructions on the website?
For Debian-based systems...
apt install make git cpanminus libgtk2-perlYou may now need to install libtgtk3-perl too. 
I need to update the site.
Hi, What are the permissions for the location "/home/groucho/.config/obmenu-generator"?
I'm lazy and just open the file manager, go to ~/.config/ and create the obmenu-generator folder as myself...the regular user. Did you mistakenly create it as root instead?
Now I have a problem with a couple of Openbox entries I use frequently.
In my previous non-configurator menu, I had entries for reboot and shutdown.execute --> lxterminal sudo -e shutdown -r now and execute --> lxterminal sudo -e shutdown -r now.
These still work perfectly well from the command line ie: sudo -e shutdown -r/h now but using the stanza in schema.pl won't work.
What am I missing?
elogind commands...
Shutdown = loginctl poweroff
Reboot = loginctl reboot
#5 Re: Off-topic » What other distro are you using (besides devuan)? » 2020-11-16 22:51:18
BSDs in order (according to my PPs...aka...Personal Preferences)

3. FreeBSD (and its derivatives)
Why?
Because that's the way I roll baby!

If anyone is using MiyoLinux-Rolling, and an update broke your right-click menu, you can fix it by running the following commands in a terminal...

He removed connman and saw that network-manager is also faulty on his box.
So, connman did not bork his system, something else did.
Oh...I must have somehow missed that.
#8 Re: Devuan Derivatives » dwm on Miyo (Devuan Ceres- rolling) » 2020-10-31 00:46:08
@MiyoLinux... it went pear shaped on me for the third time. No network connects through the browser. This time I left the partition alive and just put MXLinux running dwm on a second partition. I'm happy to work with you or @Head_on_a_Stick or others to see if we can find the problem.
There is some hardware that doesn't like connman no matter what. I don't remember which ones.
If you boot a live version of Miyo-Rolling with an Ethernet cable, can you successfully run an apt update?
If so, after the apt update, do a...
apt install network-manager-gnome...
...then do a...
apt remove cmstAfter that, use the terminal or Run Command and enter...
nm-appletIt should appear in your system tray. Click on it to see if you can connect to your network. If everything works, then install the system. It will keep network-manager-gnome on the installed system and not have CMST.

@MiyoLinux, I was the guy pestering you on Sourceforge....
So here is what I have done and am testing. For the last few hours things have worked. Yay!
As @Head_on_a_Stick will confirm, I do beat on my systems. I'm also reasonably tenacious. lol Anyway here's what I have done:Miyo (Devuan) dwm Install/ Build
Replace Network Connman and start MiyoLinux:
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install firefox network-manager nm-tray network-manager-gnome sudo apt remove connman cmst sudo rebootAfter First reboot (I install the stuff I want. btw. I have also used deb files for various apps like skype, zoom, etc because I prefer to avoid appimages flatpaks, snaps.) :

I keep all my suckless tools in ~/.local/bin and place that in my path via bashrc with the following:# Add local 'pip' to PATH: (In your .bashrc, .zshrc etc) export PATH="${PATH}:${HOME}/.local/bin/" export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATHediting your config.h files, compiling suckless tools are beynd the scope of this brief tutorial.

Hey...thanks!
It has been a long time since I've used DWM. I might give it a try soon.
#10 Re: Devuan Derivatives » dwm on Miyo (Devuan Ceres- rolling) » 2020-10-30 22:15:26
Sync problems sometimes happen. I recommend retrying a few more times. I usually succeed after the second or third attempt.
This has been my experience also. Strange thing is, it has only happened after a fresh installation. After that, I personally haven't experienced it again...but I'm special. LOL!
#11 Re: Devuan Derivatives » dwm on Miyo (Devuan Ceres- rolling) » 2020-10-30 19:24:06
I understand.
Someone recently said the same thing on Sourceforge about CMST on Miyo-Rolling a couple of weeks ago. So...I suggested they...
First install network-manager-gnome.
Then remove CMST.
It worked for me on Ceres...but I don't like network-manager-gnome, so I removed it and installed CMST again. Hahaha!
Might be an option if you ever want to try it again in the future.
Ceres has been absolutely stable for me, but then again, I have very minimal setups, so there's not much to break.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Perhaps a....

I don't know. Sorry.
#14 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Cmus not starting on Devuan 3.0.0 Beowulf, Mate[ SOLVED] » 2020-10-19 20:06:23
cmus works perfectly for me in beowulf.
Have you tried just entering...
cmus...in the terminal instead of...
x-terminal-emulator -e cmus?
I only enter...
cmus...and it works. However, if I enter...
x-terminal-emulator -e cmus...as you've shown, it opens another terminal window which does nothing, and promptly closes.
#15 Re: Devuan » Meet cinnabar (Beowulf default theme) » 2020-10-15 23:57:14
To get the cinnabar highlights in synaptic or other root apps, you can copy ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini to root's home after you set the theme with lxappearance.
...or...open lxappearance as root...
sudo lxappearance...or use su if you prefer, then enter...
lxappearanceWhen lxappearance opens, you can choose the theme and icons that you want to use for the root apps.

Best way to do secure banking is to visit the bank in person perhaps?
Hahaha! That's pretty good.
As always though, there are exceptions to the rule...
My Credit Union is 30 miles away from me. My work schedule doesn't allow me the ability to visit the CU in person.
Could I use a local bank? Sure! I've used several in the past, and I will never use one again. (Imagine a lot of Yosemite Sam grumbling here)...Brick'a, brack'a, brickin, no-good-for-nothin', frick'a, frackin', low-down-'n-dirty, slop'n-doppin-stinkin' banks...
I also pay all of our monthly bills (other than my city utility bill) through my Credit Union's online bill pay.
However, I have a certain Devuan derivative ( ) installed onto a USB, and all that it's used for Is to do my online banking. Not much trouble to boot the USB when I need to do online banking.

rayburn,
Came back from vacation a day early...
I just ran updates, and had no issues. The menu still works perfectly.
So...
I reinstalled the entire system. Ran updates. The menu is still working perfectly.
I did notice there was an update for libgtk3-perl, so perhaps that will fix the issue for you if you run updates again.
Also, there is an alternative menu that I provided in ~/.config/openbox/Other-Menu
It uses openbox-menu to provide the applications menu.
Directions are in the Release Notes (if you still have them).
If you don't have them and want to try the other menu, just copy the menu.xml file from the Other-Menu folder into the openbox folder, and overwrite the existing one.
EDITED TO ADD...
Then, open the terminal or Run Command, and enter...
openbox --reconfigure#22 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2020-09-19 20:17:26
Hi rayburn!
I'm on vacation and without a computer to test it (I'm on my phone).
I assume from the output you posted, you're using icons in the menu?
Does it work without icons? To test it, open the terminal and without su or sudo, enter...
obmenu-generator -pIf that produces a menu without icons, good.
Until I'm back from vacation, you can try this to see if icons will return...
1. Delete the icons folder in ~/.config/obmenu-generator
2. Open the terminal, and enter the following command (use su or sudo)...
cpanm Linux::DesktopFiles3. Without su or sudo, enter...
obmenu-generator -p -iIf that doesn't work, perhaps Head_on_a_Stick will be willing to help until I'm back from vacation on the 22nd.

I may hang myself here, but I've built some Debian respins with live-build by request. I read in the Arch wiki that systemd doesn't play nicely with slim, so I used Lightdm in those builds.
In each one, I replaced lightdm with slim while testing them (for myself) for several weeks. I never had any issues with it on Debian/systemd.
Not sure what the issue is or could be...but then again...it didn't matter to me.
LOLOL!

Pretty cool, indeed. Great way to entice fans of Gentoo, Arch GNU/Linux, and other such distros to try out Devuan and see what it's all about.
The "unstable" Ceres is more stable than most other "stable" distros. Crazy world we live in.
