#2701 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » trailing artifact when moving icons around MATE's desktop [SOLVED] » 2018-04-05 20:51:47
That's the way desktop icons work here on Xfce. Old icon remains until new positioning is completed.
#2702 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Themes etc. after upgrade Jessie to Ascii - LXDE » 2018-04-05 19:47:05
I do recall reading of problems keeping themes going in GTK3, so it was interesting to see MSI's link.
Since I've been doing the theming, I've been dealing with this for years. It is a royal pain.
Following Golinux' post, I installed Clearlooks-Phenix and as described, the scrollbars in Synaptic work nicely, although they are still pop-up, but I can probably live with that.
Fixing the scrollbars was a major headache. Thanks to fsmithred for his contributions to making that happen. You might find something in this thread to help you sort your synaptic scrollbars.
While the Clearlook-Phenix-Dark-Purpy does also work well, I do find it a bit, er, dark . . .
That's to match the darkpurpy default desktop wallpaper. 
I was interested to see that Clearlooks-Phenix-Purpy does not work so well with the scrollbar or with toolbar buttons, but I do notice that it is at an earlier version number.
The purpy theme was for Jessie and used a different version of GTK3 (which is a moving target). It does not work well in ASCII.
Thank you for your info and help

GTK3 and Adwaita theme sucks. Clearlooks is GTK2 only so won't handle the GTK3 in synaptic. The standard scrollbars are shown by default in the Clearlooks-Phenix and the (improved) Clearlooks-Phenix-Dark-Purpy themes which work with GTK2 and GTK3.

Now you've gotten me into nostalgia. Best jam of all time! No gimmicks or theater. Just music. Ah, memories of the Fillmore with the Dead, Jefferson Airplane and all the Bay Area bands. The world looked so hopeful back then . . .

@GNUser . . . that's good news. Keeping fingers crossed that you've seen the last of hung reboots. Sorting this conflict consistently is one of the last things holding up the next release.
#2708 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED] » 2018-03-30 03:52:46
I honestly know very little about these packages, so don't know why these particular ones are installed.
I don't have a clear grasp of the specifics but I do know that different display managers require different backends. And an upgrade creates more problems than a new install. It has to do with the replacement of udev with eudev. This post might shed some light on your problem. fsmithred is one of the best sources for specifics.
#2709 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » occasional boot hang on ascii [SOLVED] » 2018-03-29 18:51:57
Seems I remember someone else fixed something similar by changing to slim. slim and lightdm have different backends. Might be worth a try. Might also be off the mark.

Music for listening:
Glenn Gould Goldberg Variations (1955)
Music for moving to - make sure you get the right mix:
Dew Drops 2
Puzzle Box
Far From Home 2
Realpolitik 12

There are many more typos than that. I would have proofed it had I been asked. Probably too late to make changes . . .
As to the link . . . that is the one that jaromil requested to be used.

Yup . . . The haiku version
#2714 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Purging exim breaks MATE install » 2018-03-24 18:05:26
I don't think a "bare install" would include any desktop.
#2715 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Purging exim breaks MATE install » 2018-03-24 15:27:48
Maybe it would be a better idea to start with a minimal install and build a DE piece by piece rather than trying to gut a full-blown default install.
#2716 Re: Installation » auto.mirror.devuan.org » 2018-03-23 07:13:58
AFAIK, they didn't do anything.
#2717 Re: Installation » auto.mirror.devuan.org » 2018-03-22 04:17:58
I saw your email and discussed it with the admins. They checked and auto.mirror is working.

@Altoid . . . Xfce 4.12 is available in ASCII or possibly Jessie backports.
#2719 Re: Installation » auto.mirror.devuan.org » 2018-03-21 15:20:43
Assuming the problem is at the source . . . you could switch to the newer repos at pkgmaster.devuan.org
#2720 Re: Other Issues » Devuan + paralleized OpenRC + KDE » 2018-03-21 15:18:09
Also do not rely on information at https://talk.devuan.org/ . There should be a notice at the top of every page to "PROCEED WITH CAUTION". It is there for a reason - the info is about a year old and may no longer be correct.
#2721 Re: Off-topic » how to force scrollbar buttons on all desktop themes [SOLVED] » 2018-03-20 21:40:24
I'm not sure quite what you're talking about. But if it is those maddening disappearing scrollbars . . . I went through that doing the clearlooks-phenix-darkpurpy theme for ASCII. This thread on the Xfce forum got me to a solution which is here. If you're talking about something else, excuse the noise. I think it's just a different way of skinning the cat.
#2722 Re: Other Issues » Looking for recent Version of Inkscape » 2018-03-20 01:13:30
Happy to hear that worked out for you.
#2723 Re: Other Issues » Looking for recent Version of Inkscape » 2018-03-17 22:55:16
When the repos were new, backports had the wrong priority. That's been fixed.
As I remember it . . . the first Valentine iso merged backports with the main Devuan repos. That was a test to see how Amprolla would do with merging repos. There was no way to comment it out so one had to be really careful about upgrading. But not before I got bit. I still have some bpo remnants on this system. Everything is appropriately commented now.

golinux wrote:Yes, but don't install everything in backports - that could get you into big trouble. Just download what you need and comment that repo again.
IIRC, you shouldn't actually have to deactivate the repo again, as nothing should be pulled from backports automatically, except for updates of those packages you've installed from that source. Maybe someone can confirm that.
That depends whether it's pinned or not. If not pinned . . . oops. I know from experience. Someone else (fsmithred?) will have to provide the details.
