Ah, we've come full circle.
An entry in fstab was my first suggestion.

Oh, that's good news, Miyo. Glad to hear it all worked out.

@Miyo . . . Since I have special powers, I could contact the winner on your behalf.

This is what i have at /etc/fstab what do you means by to put an entry for MX partition?
Yes. I have these entries in my jessie fstab just in case I ever need something from there. You should do something similar if you want to access MX from Devuan.
#wheezy root
UUID=0bd40b55-d186-42bd-ae7d-764c90a2414b /wroot ext4 ro,noatime 0 0
#wheezy home
UUID=16bd883c-e550-4883-895c-a4564730b242 /whome ext4 ro,noatime 0 0I forgot to said that in MXLinux Devuan is not even over there.
Sorry, it is over there but not as Devuan but as "volume of 104 GB".
MXLinux:
GNU nano 2.7.4 Fichero: /etc/fstab # Pluggable devices are handled by uDev, they are not in fstab /dev/sda3 / auto defaults,noatime 1 1
I suggest to always use UUID or labels rather than partition numbers (/dev/sdxx) which could change if you add removable devices and put you in a world of hurt..

I assume you want to mount MX to read files there. If so you will need to put an entry for your MX partitions(s) in Devuan's /etc/fstab. And the reverse in MX if you want to mount devuan from a running MX system.

No one is offended and no apology is needed. The elves are working very hard in the workshop which unfortunately leaves some very public tracks for the curious kiddies to find. Adding a "?" at the end of the subject would make your find more speculative . . .

I have often used something similar ../ or even .../ in web design to navigate to various files in the tree structure of a complicated site. Is ././ in a path to a file? Or within some code?
#2589 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » How to update drivers in Devuan (Miyo)? » 2018-05-30 16:26:34
mate-system-monitor is in the Ascii repos.
Yes, I checked and saw it there. It wasn't when I installed that VM several months ago. AntoFox must have updated some pkgs.
I like both Mate and Xfce but as of late slightly prefer Mate. Everybody has his/her preference but making compton work in Mate or in Xfce is just the same. The problem is using a preconfigured compton.conf and probably the default compositor at the same time.
The default Xfce compositor works fine here so I've never experimented with other options. I did resort to using compiz to address deficiencies in gnome2 maybe 10 years ago. Really more trouble than it's worth. The rotating cube was kind of neat though. Choice is a good thing . . .

So I'm curious, what DE do you use now?
Xfce since wheezy. I actually tried Mate on wheezy too but it still had all the annoyances of gnome2 so that was the end of it. I do use some Mate apps - pluma, atril etc.. Several of those aren't available for ascii - mate-system-monitor, mate-system-tools - which is a bit of a bummer.

Long before Mate, gnome2 got very long in the tooth for me.
#2592 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » How to update drivers in Devuan (Miyo)? » 2018-05-29 22:11:41
Doesn't mate have a startup menu in settings where you can add whatever you want?
#2593 Re: Installation » download all the *.deb of my actual installation, all the sources » 2018-05-28 21:58:43
jessie install isos are still available at http://files.devuan.org
You might find this page useful.
debs of installed pkgs are stored in /var/cache/apt/

OK Miyo . . . I heard your plea . . .
My wardrobe is so basic it would never include a message T-shirt so please don't add me to the draw. But for a change of pace here's the default darkpurpy Xfce desktop - black is banished and not a terminal in sight. LOLOLOL!!
That's pretty much how my desktop looks.

That's a fine choice. Hope all goes well.

I can't remember now exactly what iso ... and golinux is saying that without that information is not possible to help. And the whole thing is becoming to complicated for me ...
I think is better to download another iso and install this time in spanish. Which iso do you recommend me for spanish installation?Any way thank you very much.
There are no official devuan images on sourceforge. Please download one of the options from https://files.devuan.org/ or one of our mirrors at https://devuan.org/get-devuan.

Since we don't know what medium (s)he used to install, if (s)he has a DE or which DM (s)he's using (if any) it's impossible to troubleshoot.
#2600 Re: Installation » How to install Devuan system/language into spanish? [solved] » 2018-05-25 17:25:26
Would probably be helpful to know which iso you used to install.
