#2501 Re: Other Issues » polkit not available in Beowulf? » 2018-09-10 19:23:01
It's not in ascii-backports. You have to use policykit-1 from ascii.
Add ascii main repo, update, then apt-get -t ascii install policykit-1 or if for some reason that doesn't work, specify the version: apt-get install policykit-1=0.105-18+devuan2.11
You'll probably have to do the same with the libpolkit packages if you're forcing a downgrade from the buster/beowulf version.

gksu has been deprecated on beowulf iirc maybe KDEsu has also? Has been discussed on DNG ml and elsewhere.

Have you read the release notes?
#2504 Re: Other Issues » polkit not available in Beowulf? » 2018-09-06 07:08:48
Did you look for newer packages in ascii backports? There has been almost no work done on beowulf yet and as you discovered, it has some quirks. You'll probably need to get the polkit package from ascii until we catch up.

Welcome to Devuan. I predict that we will be hearing more and more stories like yours in the future. Would you consider dropping a modified version of this over at Distrowatch? Might inspire someone else to take the leap.
Your personal tirades might provide some always welcome amusement . . . 
#2507 Re: Installation » Login problem - no mouse or keyboard » 2018-09-03 21:12:24
I suspect that autoclean might not take eudev and our customized backend options into its equation. Make sure you have the backend compatible with your DE installed. And ALWAYS check what is going to be nuked BEFORE you hit enter. 
Read the release notes.

I stopped using sudo years ago when I dumped Ubuntu but I remember the % always puzzled me so you are not alone. Very happy to hear you worked things out. Currently I am in the middle of my own quagmire so can sympathize.
#2509 Re: Intergalactic Communities » French Speaking Forum » 2018-09-01 21:37:37
Cela dépend de ce que Ubuntu a fait pour ce paquet. La règle générale est de ne pas mélanger les paquets Ubuntu sur Devuan. Je n'ai pas connaissance de ces paquets mais si Bionic veut installer systemd, je suppose que vous comprendrez cela.
#2510 Re: Other Issues » Devuan Beowulf /etc/devuan_version » 2018-09-01 18:59:34
There hasn't been much work done yet on beowulf. Please file a bug report.

gksu should launch synaptic. It works for me from a panel launcher.

I've been getting into a new genre of electronic music called "Wave" lately. Here's a good example:

I need an account to listen. No way.
Nice that you stopped by. 
#2515 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » I can not run software-properties-kde » 2018-08-24 00:14:03
Those packages are available in all Devuan releases.

This error may be from a misconfigured sources.list. Please check that it aligns with the options recommended here:

@campus . . . Just a thought . . . if you leave your notes here, other devs could be directed here if necessary rather than fsmithred having to do that manually.
#2517 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » VLC and Kaffeine won't install on Ascii [SOLVED] » 2018-08-19 05:02:03
Your sources are outdated. I posted a link above that should have clued you in about that. packages.devuan.org (that served jessie) uses the old amprolla but is now deprecated and will be decommissioned when jessie reaches EOL. deb.devuan.org, a round-robin of package mirrors, pulls from pkgmaster.devuan.org which is built with the new amprolla3 and has many additional features.
Please refer to the ASCII Release Notes for further clarification.

There's much more that needs attending than the certificate. I got sent to at least one 404.
#2519 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Astian OS » 2018-08-18 20:02:10
I couldn't be bothered to find and list all the weirdness/non-functionality. The site has been this way for months so the Astian community must think it's OK as is.
#2520 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] apt-file search not working » 2018-08-18 20:00:21
If there is not already a bug report please submit one at bugs.devuan.org
#2521 Re: Installation » Installation without Session management and policykit backends » 2018-08-18 15:09:24
Congrats! I knew you could eventually get this worked out.
Who is capable, wants and can, signals to the developers of Devuan the impossibility for how the libpolkit-gobject-1-0 package is built, to use XFCE4 without installing consolekit/elogind. It is against the software freedom principle: we must not force anyone to use unwanted software! I hope they take this into account and that the next release (beowulf) no longer presents the problem!
Why don't you plead your case to the developers directly by submitting your comments/solution to bugs.devuan.org. Or better yet, explore how you yourself could provide a package(s) that would allow for the removal of these components. We're all in this together so we welcome more hands on deck.
#2522 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] apt-file constructs wrong url from /etc/apt/sources.list » 2018-08-18 06:22:01
can a Devuan patch be applied to the Jessie repos to fix this, from a diff between Dev1 Jessie & Dev1 Ascii then?
I'm guessing that if you use deb.devuan.org in your sources.list instead of auto.mirror.devuan.org, that issue may be resolved. The auto.mirror default shipped on the jessie isos is now deprecated. But then it's late and I'm really tired . . .

I wish you'd fix your website. It's quite broken and doesn't inspire confidence . . .

And how about a contemporary take some Indian Kathak:
