#276 Re: Devuan » Brave New Trusted Boot World » 2022-10-27 14:28:13
Got no problem with captchas, as long as they work properly, some don't, or are somewhat iffy, but if it helps reduce spam, or something like that, I can see the point, but for my own interests, it will just be a pain in the ar*e, I think.
Anyway, I've got a 'stock' of old machines, so as long as Linux in general doesn't demand it, I'll be fine.

This document will assume that the reader has comprehensive familiarity with TPM 2.0 security chips and their capabilities (e.g., PCRs, measurements, SRK), boot loaders, the shim binary, Linux, initrds, UEFI Firmware, PE binaries, and SecureBoot.
Ye gods, what about us poor old folks who just like to use their (ancient) computers without fuss.......

But, Debian now include all the drivers necessary, at long last...but I'll still stay with Devuan, The 'True' Debian.

Yes, it will fit with space to spare, if memory serves me right, it's about 4~5GB installed.
#281 Re: Off-topic » Lennart Poettering (Systemd) Lands at Microsoft After Leaving Red Hat » 2022-10-15 09:07:54
So, MS wants to go Linux, quite a good move on their part, (they've been there before), but why on earth put it on top of their 'Windows' system!
To be honest, I won't miss systemd or pulseaudio, I prefer not to use them anyway...
But....if Linux gets too much more commercialized, I'll be going to the BSDs for my computers.
#282 Re: Devuan » Devuan kFreeBSD » 2022-10-14 08:52:09
I don't really see the point...
Why use a kernel from another O/S - just 'Devuanize' one of the BSDs, if it's the look & feel that you're after.
Alternately, get on board the Hurd project, it was designed to work with GNU (Linux) software utilities.

Did you 'save settings' on shutdown(?).
#284 Re: Other Issues » No Sound ALSA » 2022-10-08 14:19:55
I had a problem with sound, I switched over from a VGA monitor to a HDMI without built in speakers, but when I went back to the VGA monitor, everything was working fine - I don't think pulseaudio takes that fact into consideration, because I had it set to analogue stereo, which should have worked via the audio out socket.

It's not meant to allow all encompassing usage, that's what su is for.
#286 Re: Installation » Installing from USB thumb drive » 2022-10-03 16:38:34
I think @Camtaf is talking about desktop-live, which is a different alternative that many people prefer.
Yes, sorry, both 'live' versions have been updated, & I assumed that the 'desktop' would have been too, 'my bad', as some say.
#287 Re: Installation » Installing from USB thumb drive » 2022-10-03 09:11:49
Latest version is 4.0.2 - try that.

For anyone who is interested in having a look, (not 11.1.0, but will give you the idea of what it was) - https://sourceforge.net/projects/archiveos/files/s/sharpbang/sharpbang-buster-10.2.0-i386.hybrid.iso/download

Fluxbox is king as far as I'm concerned, but basically any WM is better than a DE, I'd even take JWM.......
#291 Re: Installation » Installing from USB thumb drive » 2022-10-02 08:41:45
It's likely something to do with Rufus, I've had no problems with using dd to create installer pendrives.
#292 Re: Off-topic » Xfce 4.18 at Christmas » 2022-10-01 16:41:32
I too, was a #! user, until its demise, found AntiX & enjoyed my stay there, until 'new blood' kept putting more & more into the menus & making it less like it was when I found it, hence why I'm now here; I still prefer a lightweight WM distro, but Devuan Live is as easy to install as AntiX was, & I'm getting older & lazier - Devuan is my main distro now.

Debian has a version of their installation available if you want to go down that road.
https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Port
Otherwise,
https://git.devuan.org/devuan-sdk/arm-sdk.git
#294 Re: ARM Builds » raspberry pi3 chimaera install "from scratch" » 2022-09-26 17:01:23
I use the ones here - https://arm-files.devuan.org/
Unzip it, then image write it to your card, (I use dd).
#295 Re: DIY » Convert mp4 to mp3 » 2022-09-22 14:47:36
Yes, I had to remove the .mp4 too, again, I used sed.
##To remove .mp4 from *.mp4.mp3 files
for file in *; do mv "$file" $(echo "$file" | sed -e 's/.mp4././g'); done#296 Re: DIY » Convert mp4 to mp3 » 2022-09-20 15:06:21
Yep, it's me again....
Thanks for the extra info though, this kind of thread gets read by more than those who post them, so any extra is always welcome.
#297 Re: Documentation » HOWTO : enable pasting linefeed-separated commands into bash terminal » 2022-09-20 15:00:19
Hmm, I prefer it not automatically reacting - I use shell scripts if I want multi instructions operated.
(I only had one instance of auto executing on some other distro, & thought it to be a rather dodgy set up, needless to say, I ditched that particular distro promptly).
Still, we're all different, & like different things - just adding my two penneth to let our devs know that some like it how it is.

Convert mp4 to mp3
I have a load of mp4 files with spaces in their names, the first line replaces the spaces with _ so that the second line can convert them to mp3.
#!/bin/sh
for f in *; do mv "$f" `echo $f | tr ' ' '_'`; done
for X in *.mp4;do ffmpeg -i $X $X.mp3;done#299 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] external NVMe SSD is piggish » 2022-09-19 09:22:04
USB3 has great read speeds, but I've found the write speeds to be all over the place, some of my USB3 pendrives only write at 10mbs!
USB2 pendrives write much faster than these.

Didn't know either - I've only ever added something to a wiki page once, maybe twice, but that was years ago - I've totally forgotten how they work.
Took a quick look at the opening page, there seem to be an awful lot of sections to contend with.......?!
