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

#2654 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 . . .

#2655 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.

#2656 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.

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

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.

Miyo does it awesomely this time!   Congrats!!

I will add here for the record that fsmithred's firemenu is a simple text dialog option to firejail that uses yad iirc.

Greetings from the LinuxBBQ from my part! Who knows we could base a sick release on Devuan in the future.

Welcome to Devuan.  Would be interesting to see what LinuxBBQ can come up with!

Actually Miyo found that!  Keep up the good work!!

#2664 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » i need help with some packages (SOLVED) » 2018-05-17 02:34:17

I just checked and I don't have linux-headers-generic available in jessie or ASCII.  There are plenty of linux-headers-* for various kernels and pae etc.  Maybe you need linux-headers-common?

@figdev . . . Back in 2016-11-24, I posted this thread - https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=98 - to give users an opportunity to investigate and comment on figos.  Question . . . if no one walks through an open door, does anyone get to the other side?  If there had been ANY response we would likely not be where we are today.   It seems the only one interested in promoting your derivative is YOU.  But now you can blame users of this forum for treating you unfairly too.

#2668 Re: Forum Feedback » The sound of one hand clapping » 2018-05-15 14:38:20

@figdev . . . if you keep picking a scab, it will never heal.

@KatolaZ . . . a looong story . . .

#2669 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Any Devuan-based distros that use Debian's original installer? » 2018-05-15 02:54:03

I think maybe without non-free and contrib options + a truly libre kernel

de = desktop environment, or some kind of screen recorder?

Yeah.  That's what I meant.

heres a screencap of the default desktop environment in crunkbong (i added leafpad)

Thanks.  But I was wanting to see the first boot default without "personalization".  Oh well, my fault for not being clear about it . . .

#2671 Re: Devuan Derivatives » crunkbong is looking for testers » 2018-05-14 20:19:31

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

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.

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