Some feedback from irc.
<Irrwahn> golinux: That's just install via some ISO image. That's not the same as an officially supported install image, but more like "bring your own OS". And it will only work for VMs, not dedicated machines, unless you rent a KVM + virtual drive console.
<Irrwahn> By this metric virtually any old hosting company in existence can be said to have an "Install Devuan" option.
and then . . .
<Irrwahn> He could probably do that himself. ISTR that basically any customer can deposit any ISO (that meets some criteria) at their store.
and finally:
<Irrwahn> Overall, the important takeaway is: When you run Devuan on a Hetzner machine, you do so at your own devise and own risk, no support.
<Irrwahn> And that's different from their "official" OS choices.

@devuser . . . That's fantastic news! The process is a bit daunting though - not for the faint-hearted. I should probably add Hetzner to the list and include a link to your post above. Could you possibly contact them requesting either an update to or addition of the ASCII iso?

LOL! I thought that but resisted the urge . . .

OK, if it's that simple I'll have a look into the Dutch language pack then. Can't make any promises as there's a lot on my plate already. Can these files be opened by LibreOffice and more importantly, edited and saved in the correct format?
My advice is to stay away from LO for any text/config files. Please use a text editor like mousepad or Pluma or geany etc..
If Dutch works, I may try my hand at German too. But as a non-native speaker I'm not sure my options/solutions/translations would be best suited. For now, that's of no concern, first the Dutch language pack to solve before anything else!
If you would provide Dutch that would be most appreciated!

#2531 Re: Installation » Hosted VPS server migration from debian to devuan hosed » 2018-06-16 21:15:07
But perhaps it's not so bad an idea if you build a list of hosters where devuan is either a clickable option or can be migrated to, even if it's only maintained until people get tired of poettering about and demand systemd-free hosting.
. . . I haven't seen a single hoster that actually offers Devuan templates yet. I've tried a bit of lobbying here or there but so far no luck.
Two options were included in the ASCII stable announcement. That info is posted in two places on the devuan.org website.
https://devuan.org/os/debian-fork/ascii … nce-060818
https://devuan.org/os/install
AWS used to have a devuan image available. Perhaps one of you could confirm. As to Hetzner . . . according to one of our devs:
<DocScrutinizer05> >>Hetzner which are offering Devuan<< hmm? I just checked, seems they can't find "devuan" even in their support pages
<DocScrutinizer05> of course you can install your own OS with Hetzner
<DocScrutinizer05> if Hetzner actually has any support for devuan beyond that generic "BYOOS", it's prolly quite worth elaborting about it in devuan's publications, since on Hetzner it's unknown
<DocScrutinizer05> https://github.com/hetzneronline/installimage
<Irrwahn> DocScrutinizer05: You are correct, Hetzner does not provide a Devuan install image. For our Finnish Maid we had to go the Debian -> Devuan route just recently.

The default option for translation of the forum controls is English. Every user has the choice of which language to choose.

I hear you. You made your point (rather dramatically) and I will now butt out. But before I go, I have a suggestion. Could you please put [ code ] tags around all the c/p from the terminal like this? There's even a point and clicky menu above the input box to help you do it.

MIYO + what looks like a radura symbol.
So I go to find one and discover it's been 'sanitized' with greeny goodness.
Good grief!!!

Yes. antofox maintains MATE for Devuan.

Good grief. You do have an overactive imagination. It a GNU and quite harmless.
It indicates other Linux distros in a generic way if a specific icon is not available.
#2538 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » MATE 1.20 on devuan ascii » 2018-06-14 22:46:15
@colby . . . you should not have any packages installed directly from the Debian repos. Doing so could really break your your system. Packages from the Debian repos are pulled by amprolla via a redirect that filters out incompatible packages.
The following network-manager packages are available in the ascii repos:
https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/d1pk … ease=ascii
The mate packages, unless they are very new, should also be available on the Devuan repos. I let you do your own searching.
#2539 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » MATE 1.20 on devuan ascii » 2018-06-14 15:59:15
@msi . . . have you checked ascii-proposed for the newest mate-power-manager?

You'll have to post it online somewhere if you don't have access to a server.

Here's the magic incantation. Thought this early description of how amprolla works might be an interesting example:

Or if you want a thumbnail
[url=url-to-full-image][img=image-description]url-to-thumbnail[/img][/url]

thank you Siva. you are right my question did have 2 sides and you did answer both completely.
no, I will not use Devuan unstable completely but check if there are packages not available in Devuan Jessie being able to be used by pinning in Devuan Jessie. I hope pinning is possible?
Why not look in ASCII and/or Beowulf repos for what you need before jumping to Ceres.

#2546 Re: Other Issues » [Solved] Firefox 60 » 2018-06-13 15:13:23
snapd is on the banned package list for systemd dependency. So no you wouldn't be able to install snaps on Devuan. Unless, of course, you adopt and maintain that package to remove the dependency from release to release.
#2547 Re: Installation » Installation failure for specific locale (gr) [SOLVED]. » 2018-06-12 15:34:53
Some DMs are more friendly that others to setting locales. KDE can be a bit fussy with this. Please read the Release notes and also search this forum for KDE.
#2548 Re: Installation » [Solved] Ascii upgrade (also) messed up this Devuan Jessie » 2018-06-12 15:30:27
Have you read the Release notes? I suspect something is amiss with the backend combo needed for your setup.
#2549 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Enlightenment & Falkon » 2018-06-12 15:00:10
Why anyone would recommend appimage, flatpak or snaps is beyond me. It's a great way to bloat your system. And is there any way to know what exactly is in those options of convenience?
Even on the Falkon page, the first recommendation is to "install falkon package from your distribution’s repositories".
#2550 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Enlightenment & Falkon » 2018-06-12 03:24:29
Start with backports and work your way further from ASCII. Be prepared that it may or may not go smoothly. Not much has been done on beowulf yet.
