Sounds like the pkexec bug. You can get some pointers from this DNG thread. I use gksu to launch root apps to get around this..
Have you read the Release Notes?
Hello,
The question is essentially just what the title is asking: is there any way to directly install Ceres/Unstable?
No. There are no ceres isos. AFAIK, you'll have to do it via an upgrade. Maybe someone else will have another idea for you.

I assume that you mean Devuan Jessie is now under oldstable status? Please, correct if I am wrong.
I wasn't aware of that but according to this page yes.
Debian Jessie oldstable support has now ended and it is now under the LTS program, not provided by Debian security team, but by third parties.
If possible, I'd just like a clarification on how this works currently for Devuan.
Is there a Devuan security team that provides security updates for Jessie currently under oldstable release? Or do the security updates come mirrored from the Debian LTS program?
Will there be an LTS program for Devuan Jessie too, which will extend beyond the Debian Jessie's LTS?
We follow the Debian LTS cycle as described on this page. The LTS upgrades applied to Debian will be available in the Devuan Jessie repos as they have always been.

I guess you could post in the after Ascii wishlist thread but your best chances would probably be to follow the official packaging guide and volunteer to maintain those packages yourself.
^ ^ ^ This. ^ ^ ^ The devs have their hands quite full maintaining critical system packages. But do post a request and maybe those with similar inclinations would band together to help maintain those packages.
It should work if you follow the upgrade instructions carefully and have the correct repos enabled.
@ername . . . your post has been moved to here:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=10304#p10304
Did you study the Release Notes before trying to upgrade?
Or comment it out and re-enable every so often.
The reviews here are much more thoughtful:

Maybe try #devuan-arm on freenode.
Try refining your search. There are three categories:
Keyword search - plasma or KDE etc. I sometimes add a space at the end of a search word
Select where to search - Maybe start with checking Desktop and Multimedia and/or Installation
Select how to view search results: you might want to Show results as Posts instead of Topics
@Miyo . . . you are my hero!! LOLOLOL!!!
But seriously . . . reports of observed dickheadism by any available method - report, Forum Feedback, email, smoke signal etc. - would certainly be helpful to the d1g administrators.
@ralph.ronnquist . . . regardless of the attribution, the pattern is hijack - antagonize - publicize - victimize
@dxrobertson . . . Maybe you'd want to comment on that directly to DW?
Next time, might I suggest https://lmsptfy.com/ ?
Is udev running the show or eudev? IIRC eudev is default in ASCII. If yes, something might have gotten lost in translation. That's the only suggestion I have as this subject is way beyond me technically.
@ralph.ronnquist . . . Your head is a very nice head. Anarchists always manage to turn things upside down and make it someone else's fault. ![]()
The report button is only visible to admins. A post in forum feedback would be public. That's a big difference in transparency.
I wish I could. You might want to include more specific information about your machine, whether you did a clean ascii install or upgraded, if you are using a DE which one etc.?
As to ceres and mixing it with a stable release . . . exactly what did you install from Ceres? You must be aware that you touch ceres at your own risk. It is labeled 'unstable' for a very good reason.
I hope someone with experience on the bleeding edge stops by. You might also try the Devuan irc channels on Freenode.

As a forum admin, you will get this. In general if a member emails you about some other member "crossing the line", it's coming from someone with an agenda.
I disagree. The emails I have gotten were from well-established, respected contributors to this forum whose only 'agenda' was for the forum to be free of disruption.
The discussion here seems to be pretty much against implementing the troll extension to be publicly viewable. I'm not opposed to a trial run with hidden stats. In any case it would be useful for some to be able to ignore an annoying user.

I haven't seen any bands of trolls here?
Then you haven't been paying attention. Or maybe it's just semantics . . .
I started typing before your message was there, wrote half an essay threw it away and boiled it down to the short 2 sentences.
Yeah, I've done that more than a few times. ![]()
I fail to see the value in the stats.
It would give the admins a sense of how users are reacting to questionable posts though as has been mentioned the numbers can be manipulated. In the past, users have on occasion emailed me when they feel someone else on the board has crossed a line. Perhaps public requests in Forum Feedback would be a better option to suggest a need for administrative action. All I know is that there are times when action might be necessary. We just need to figure out the best way to gauge when and what is appropriate.
Thankfully, this board has fewer issues than most because of the maturity of its members.
An another point . . . post ratings are not on our radar so rest easy on that.
And finally . . . the only cliques I have seen here are trolls banding together.
This troll brand mark count does not need to be public to be useful for the moderators.
And this troll brand mark count should not be public because it biases the reader.
Didn't I just say that? I totally agree.
If someone is being a dickhead, then just deal with that in the traditional manner.
That would depend on your definition of 'traditional manner'. A troll's knee-jerk defense to any moderation or reason is to play the victim and it's a downward spiral of venom after that.
Disclaimer to those who may point a finger in my direction . . . this mod was not my idea but I'm not opposed to giving it a try. I would however prefer that there be no public "shaming" involved that could incite undesirable results. I do think that stats on users that are having a negative effect on this board are a useful metric for deciding what action if any should be taken.
