No need to apologize. Most Buddhists in the West make it up as they go along. It's really rather pathetic. But what makes you think that TM has any relevance to yoga either?
Why do seagulls fly over the sea?
Because if they flew over the bay, they'd be bagels.
I looked at this for several minutes before I realized - baygulls. I am a diehard literalist.
What do you call a Texas Buddhist's mantra?
OM on the range.
FYI, mantras are a cultural appendage to Buddhism not Buddhism.
Happy to see you finally got the TM stuff right.

#2830 Re: Installation » [CLOSED] <Ascii> Minimal Install - OB - Issues » 2018-01-02 22:22:26
I wasn't aware that a Devuan ascii .iso existed yet. I aways install the jessie base system, upgrade it to ascii, remove obsolete packages from the upgrade, and then start building from there.
Yes, there are no official ascii isos yet but fsmithred has a few unofficial isos floating around. I personally ran into issues with the eth0 device naming thing recently on one of those so will have to redo as an upgrade from jessie.

Hey, Miyo . . . what a great video! Loved the music (tho a little dramatic) and your ever-present sense of humor. i3 looks interesting. Might try it if I weren't snowed under theming ascii etc.

Is OpenRC even available in jessie? It has only been worked on in ascii afaik.

Look at KatolaZ' minimal live isos. He worked with the speakup community to make it accessible. This from his website:
A very special thanks goes to Gregory Nowak, Parham Doustdar, Jude DaShiell, John G Heim, Rob, and all the people in the Linux-speakup mailing list (http://www.linux-speakup.org/) for their encouragement and support, and for providing invaluable feedback about accessibility. Without their help, I couldn't have seen what was needed in order to make the minimal live images easier to use for visually-impaired users.
The isos are available from files.devuan.org.

#2841 Re: Devuan » Considering migration from a different distribution. » 2017-12-21 10:10:13
I can only answer one of your questions.
Is there a way to install directly Beowulf or Ceres (without systemd of course), or must I start from the base and do upgrades stages by stage ?
Currently there are only 'official' install images for Devuan Jessie. There are 'unofficial' images for Ascii but official ones will be coming soon. Beowulf will not be available until after the Ascii release and then only by upgrade or unofficial isos until Beowulf 3.0 released.

Thanks to fsmithred, I found the culprit with top - tumblerd! I work with a lot of graphics and video (not so much these days) and that app creates image icons. fsr confirmed that it "causes some serious thrashing". If I can ever get the theming for ascii finished, I'll do some reading about how to deal with it - SP produced plenty of reading.

Doesn't thunar have a search function?
Nope. Not a native one. An external search function can be added as a thunar custom action. This from the archwiki:
Search for files and folders
To use this action you need to have catfish installed. The optional dependency mlocate should be installed as well.
Name Command File patterns Appears if selection contains
Search catfish --path=%f * Directories
To kill unwanted start-up services, try Boot-Up-Manager (BUM) from the repo for a nice GUI tool to enable/disable services at startup and/or kill/start them during session.
Thanks for the suggestion.
#2844 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Frequent indexing thrashes HDD » 2017-12-20 18:03:08
It's not (usually) a file system thing, so I'd imagine you have some kind of 'indexing service' running? Without more details, it's going to be difficult to say. If it's something which starts with a particular desktop you're running, just disable it.
If I did have an indexing sevice I wouldn't know how/where to find it. AFAIK it's just a standard Xfce. I do have catfish search tool installed. That's the only thing I can think of that might be responsible. If anyone knows of a better GUI search tool, please do share.

My system indexes several times a day. Moving files around triggers it which makes sense but does it have to do it so often? It's not only annoying (at the most inconvenient times), it makes the system unusable until it finishes doing it's thing. I can't remember exactly when this started but it's been happening for a while. I've just been lazy about attending to it. Is there a conf somewhere to regulate this behavior?
