There is no automated "confirmation request".  Just let us know here that it's working.

<rrq> which IP ?
<rrq> maybe 24.xxx.xxx.122 which requested "HEAD /req_message HTTP/1.1" some 12 hours ago?
<rrq> i've un-dubious-ed that IP

Please confirm.

gparted also won't run.

pkexec was not working properly from the menu .  There is a fix coming up in the RC2.  In the meantime gksu works just fine.

I just woke up.  It is not personal so you can relax.  rrq has installed a "snaplock" on this forum to flag "dubious" addresses as part of our spam control.  It has caught a few users and even caught me several times when my IP has done something funky.  So you can relax.  rrq actually put a button in the admin panel but honestly I am hesitant to click it as I don't know that it has ever been used in a real-life situation and I don't want to bring the forum to its knees if he isn't around to fix things.  I just pinged him but chances are he's zzzzz down under.

#2606 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Hyperbola Thread » 2018-05-25 03:18:15

I think that's a solution in need of a problem but I understand where you're coming from and why.

#2607 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Hyperbola Thread » 2018-05-25 01:31:21

Hyperbola has requested to be acknowledged on our init freedom page and that is being discussed.  dxrobertson is correct that it is arch-based and only uses parts of devuan so not really a devuan derivative.  More of a chimera.

Yes.

Good grief.   I censored nothing only removed outdated, irrelevant information.  I politely suggested where to go to get the most accurate answers to your questions.  Why does everything have to be an explosive confrontation with you?

Have you never looked at the footer of the website?

Your post is out of place here.  Please address all Devuan trademark questions to Dyne and other trademark issues to their respective owners.   Any derivative discussion can go under the Derivatives forum.

This should clarify another one of your questions.

<KatolaZ> this is a fact
<KatolaZ> that figos does not even mention devuan
<KatolaZ> so it can't be considered a devuan derivative
<KatolaZ> fullstop
<KatolaZ> end of discussion

I have never ventured into Tomb territory.  It might suit your purposes if you put a little effort into it and is an "in house" solution.

Nope, it didn't.  It's sitting on my desktop.

Ha!  They're going to make me download it!!

View Raw

(Sorry about that, but we can’t show files that are this big right now.)

Thanks for doing that.  Watched the whole thing. That was just what I was looking for.  Well done!  Unfortunately, it went by in quadruple speed!   If that was in real time, you must have some roadrunner genes!!!

Nice to see you pekman.  I noticed the sites you set up are no longer available.  sad

#2620 Re: Devuan Derivatives » crunkbong is looking for testers » 2018-05-20 05:56:05

fig, it might have been "cleaner" to start a new thread about your stuff where it could grow and just link to it here.  Maybe you'd consider doing that so it doesn't get all mixed up in the crunkbong discussion . . .

#2621 Re: Installation » Manual Install Lightdm Polkit Problem » 2018-05-18 21:46:01

@fsmithred . . . would be a good idea to have a thread here listing backend combos needed for each desktop that we could link to.

#2622 Re: Installation » Manual Install Lightdm Polkit Problem » 2018-05-18 21:32:32

This comment is from our last meet.  Someone else reported a similar problem with KDE:

(KatolaZ) Installation of the correct set of polkit stuff is guaranteed only through task-*-desktop

We should probably list somewhere exactly what packages are needed for which desktop.

Yes, I know that. When sda6 became sda5, I still had to resize it to get the unallocated space merged into the partition.

Exactly.   Happy to hear you got that worked out.

I'm not assuming, I'm going off of past experience. It did when I was triple booting and deleted the middle partition, sda5. Then sda6 became sda5 (my current sda5).

The drive numbering and size/location of the partition on the disk are two different things.
