Since I am not much of a tester, would be really nice to have a DE capture of crunkbong in action.   Hope one pops up soon.  smile

I am confused.  An apology for what?  Nothing that I can think of . . .

Sorry if this sounds silly, but please consider that /etc/bash_completion is *not* included by default in your bashrc/profile. So in order for the completions to work you have to explicitly source /etc/bash_completion in your bashrc/profile.

My2Cents

I have never touched my bash profile and bash_completion has always worked.  Maybe that's an Xfce thing?

Stop lying and spreading alternate facts.

Feel free to move on and foul someone else's nest . . .

#2633 Re: Forum Feedback » Enough is enough (and then the other hand claps) » 2018-05-14 02:11:38

No one here has ever been banned.   Less than 5 have earned short suspensions (two weeks or less).    This misguided/misinformed aggression is not a good way to re-enter this forum.

This is just a guess, but perhaps the Devuan developers are still working on the actual mate-power-manager

AntoFox maintains Mate for Devuan.  He posted this last month.

#2636 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [SOLVED] [Miyo] Power Manager is missing in my setup » 2018-05-14 00:05:11

That means it's not installed.  I have mate-power-manager-common available in jessie.  Should be the same in ASCII.

Migration was fairly painless, however, I did encounter two minor issues using https://git.devuan.org/dev1fanboy/Upgra … o-ascii.md that may be useful to others:

1.  Getting the devuan keyring require an apt update --allow-unauthenticated first

That issue is clearly addressed on this page:
https://devuan.org/os/documentation/dev … e-to-ascii

2.  Somewhere in the process of removing network manager and upgrading the network interfaces were renamed, so I had to update Wicd to the new network interface names.

That is intentional.  Devuan reverts the new network interface names and uses eth0 as default.

Otherwise, it all appears stable and the Devuan theme is lovely! smile

Thanks for the report and kind words for the darkpurpy theme.  Welcome to Devuan!

#2638 Re: Other Issues » Several bash completions unavailable » 2018-05-13 15:46:57

Does that happen on Debian also?  I assume so since we pull it directly from their repos.   Please file a bug upstream if there isn't one already.

#2639 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Missing options in KDE System settings - Devuan ASCII » 2018-05-12 22:35:43

Do you have kde-icons-* installed and selected (if that's necessary in KDE)?  And maybe the hicolor-icon-theme?  Not quite sure what's KDE needs.  Search for "icons" in synaptic and see what pops up.

One note: on the XFCE4 desktop the administrative tools cannot be launched using the XFCE4-menu. You have to do a "gksu synaptic" in a terminal - that works well.

Ah, another happy Devuan user.  big_smile  Thanks for the report.

Yeah . . .   non-functional pkexe from the menu is a known DEBIAN issue that Devuan keeps getting docked for.  And the solution is as you described.  Now that gksu has been dropped we will have another pkg to maintain . . .

#2642 Re: Off-topic » Will 'Pluto' be the next Devuan release? » 2018-05-11 18:31:49

From the lack of bugs reported after the RC, I don't think you'll have long to wait . . .  big_smile

#2643 Re: Installation » Battery status notification » 2018-05-11 16:40:35

You could start by specifying what iso (live, netinstall etc.) you  used and what DE you installed.

I completely forgot about this link.  But CTRL+F and "Pluto" gives me hope ^_^

Hey, nothing against Pluto.  It's just 13 letters from "C".

Release after Beowulf will start with a hard "C"

It's "Carol," isn't it?

My lips are sealed.  We'll announce it when ASCII moves to stable and Beowulf to "testing".  I think you'll like it . . .   big_smile

#2645 Re: Off-topic » Will 'Pluto' be the next Devuan release? » 2018-05-11 15:50:19

Pluto?  Maybe 50 years from now!! LOLOL!  Release after Beowulf will start with a hard "C".  Not going to spill the beans here.  If you read Devuan.org you would have seen this which is our source for naming releases.  Why?  One of the devs responsible for Devuan is an astronomer.  History matters . . .

#2646 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » always disabling overlay scrollbar in caja file manager [SOLVED] » 2018-05-09 16:43:14

Happy to hear you found the fix.  The GTK madness is making life difficult for all of us . . .

#2647 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » always disabling overlay scrollbar in caja file manager [SOLVED] » 2018-05-09 16:17:40

The fix in Clearlooks-Pheninix-Darkpurpy keeps a 'normal' scollbar in user as well as root apps.  I repost here the discussion on Xfce forum that got me to the right place.  If it's a caja deficiency you're on your own . . .

#2648 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Again Mate and permissions problem » 2018-05-09 09:32:44

Don't be fooled by the name.  We are using Gentoo's forked version of elogind that doesn't need systemd.

Is the darkpurpy theme a similar to post sunset on BEOWULF?

I don't quite understand the question so I'll just drops links here to screenies of the darkpurpy theme from grub to slim to the desktop and maybe that will answer it.  If it doesn't, please try again:
