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.

Here's the answer. mate-power-manager is banned in ASCII.
#2754 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.
#2755 Re: Devuan » Some appreciation and a note on migration from Stretch to ASCII » 2018-05-13 16:48:53
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!
Thanks for the report and kind words for the darkpurpy theme. Welcome to Devuan!

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.
#2757 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.
#2758 Re: News & Announcements » Devuan 2.0 ASCII Release Candidate » 2018-05-12 20:29:24
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. 
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 . . .

#2760 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 . . .
#2761 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.
#2762 Re: Off-topic » Will 'Pluto' be the next Devuan release? » 2018-05-11 16:30:45
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 . . .
#2763 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 . . .

#2765 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 . . .
#2766 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:

From parazyd's README. Thought it might be useful to have here:
1. Download the image you want:
; curl -O https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/embedded/devuan_ascii_2.0.0_armhf_sunxi.img.xz2. Download the shasums and the signature:
; curl -O https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/embedded/SHA256SUMS
; curl -O https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/embedded/SHA256SUMS.asc3. Verify:
; gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc && sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS4. dd the raw image to a medium of your choice (little less than 2GB):
; xzcat devuan_ascii_2.0.0_armhf_sunxi.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=2M5. In case it's a sunxi image, grab your respective u-boot blob, and flash it:
; curl -O https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/embedded/u-boot/Cubieboard2_defconfig.bin
; sudo dd if=Cubieboard2_defconfig.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=8 && syncOther useful documentation can be found here:

#2771 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Alarm Clock App » 2018-05-07 22:19:33
I use the reminder plugin on gkrellm. It can do repetitions on odd cycles like every 3 or 5 days etc.

I deleted my previous comment, because I'm so stupid that I didn't notice what thread it was located in.
Still...HOORAY!
It wasn't this thread when you wrote it. 
I split it off from your thread. Too bad it's gone. It was amusing . . .
#2773 Re: Devuan » Some ASCII love » 2018-05-07 04:09:28
I've been playing around with Ascii all day, installing all the apps I use and testing things. I have to say that Ascii runs just as good on my computer as Jessie does. And it looks better too.
This report makes me very happy. The team has worked long and hard. I am also delighted that you like the darkpurpy theming. I don't think that anyone will be expecting where Beowulf will be going. Here's a very preliminary sneak peek. LOLOL!
Good work. How close is Ascii to being considered a stable version? To me it seems like it already is.
The RC should be out in days. We're working on the announcement, building the isos and preparing for the servers to be hammered. If no major issues pop up in the RC, stable could be here really soon.
One note for whoever reads this. The name of the minor planet for which Devuan 2.0 is named is actually ASCII - all in caps. We've all gotten a little sloppy about that but you'll notice the correct font case used in the website revisions and also the announcement.
#2774 Re: Documentation » dev1fanboy's "Maintainer walkthrough" » 2018-05-07 00:49:08
@stanz . . . talk.devuan.org is mostly obsolete. But if chillfan sent you there it's probably OK. Seems the whole site is non-functional . . .
You might look at this classic how-to. Even I can follow that. That method wouldn't be acceptable for official packages though.
It looks like a network problem:
18 if-ae-11-2.tcore1.ad1-amsterdam.as6453.net (80.231.152.26) 144.823 ms 142.150 ms 156.199 ms

20 * * *Problem is in Amsterdam it seems. News flash: the server has been moth-balled. Backup not restored yet and no ETA for when or if that will happen.

This touches on the kind of issues that you are having:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=8670#p8670
as does this email:
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 30.en.html
Unfortunately, I am bewildered with which packages are needed for what so you'll have to figure it out on your own (or maybe fsmithred will stop by).
