Hello and sorry for my bad English. What do you need xfce for? Perhaps it would be easier to use the .netintall image, select only the main packages (remove the check boxes from all points, install xorg and any wm and build your system containing only the packages that you need? For example, I did so. After a few searches I stayed at dwm, I installed only what I needed and got a lightweight system with 1024 packages. During the cold start, the system uses only 104 megabytes of RAM. Here screen shot

Are you asking me now to change to OpenRC? if so, how can i do that?

No! Don’t do that.  OpenRC is experimental software. Please read my post #29.

And it was recently that i did a full-upgrade, that is all.

Very strange. After the last updates, I did not cope with the problems you mentioned.

I use i3wm. The "cold" start system uses only 114 mb. I got a light and excellent system. Highly productive.

Hello, Terence. I use ext4 filesystem.

Our motherboard should be similar

Yes, it is, but my cpu is not over-clocked.

Good question, i have no idea what init has devuan ascii.

By default, Devuan ascii uses SysVinit. OpenRC  is a option which can be selected in the column "expert install". How did you install the operating system? Have you used "expert install" option and have chosen OpenRC?

#283 Re: Other Issues » Devuan + paralleized OpenRC + KDE » 2018-07-30 14:57:02

Thanks for your feedback first.

You're welcome smile

Do you use only one core?

No, i use 8 cores. It is Intel i7 920 (8) @ 2.7GHz

OpenRC is relatively new

Well, it's not so important anymore. Simply bleeding edge is not for me. I choose stability and time-tested methods.

#284 Re: Installation » My devuan_ascii need to be reiniciated. » 2018-07-30 14:38:45

I noticed similar symptoms when I used  init system-OpenRC. What init system do you use?

#285 Re: Other Issues » Devuan + paralleized OpenRC + KDE » 2018-07-28 13:57:46

Thanks for the reply, MiyoLinux. Sorry for my bad English.  As for OpenRc, i will write my notes. At the beginning of the installation, i selected "Expert install" and go to step when you need to choose init system. There is a warning on that screen "it is a experimental software. Use it at own risk". This means openRC. I decided to insult myself, so I chose OpenRC. I installed the minimal system. No DE and DM, just i3wm. I used to access the graphical environment startx. I decided to check the system resources that were used with command "top". I was surprised. It turns out that a system, which is not overloaded, uses 20 percent of cpu. I found out that the culprit is an OpenRC process named "yes". Ten minutes later, the system began to jerk, the reboot took about 10 minutes. So, I understood one that the warning on the wiring screen it was not for nothing. OpenRC, in my opinion, is not ready for production. Anyone using OpenRC should have that in mind. In addition, I did not notice practically any difference between sysvinit and OpenRC (I mean loading and reloading speeds). So, I decided to stay with a verified sysvinit.  Thank you for your attention.

#286 Re: Other Issues » Devuan + paralleized OpenRC + KDE » 2018-07-27 18:14:40

Hello I have a question for OpenRC users who use the option paralleized OpenRC
Parallel startup in OpenRC was disabled by default due to this bug. I understand this is a critical bug. Is any of you is affected by this bug? How do you think it is safe to use this feature?

#287 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Nvidia warning at boot » 2018-07-24 17:36:21

it seems at every reboot it restores restricted kernel modules (to nvidia ) so the best method for working is  seems to be commenting out "install nvidia /sbin/lrm-video nvidia $CMDLINE_OPTS" line in "/etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video".

To be explicit, with the exception of the Devuan logo (obviously), the images are created from scratch and are both released into the public domain. Credit would be nice but is not mandatory.

Very nice! Already stolen it. Keep a good work!

Hi All,

I was watching a documentary the other week, that reminded me of this incident, when I was living and working for a Western computer company in Moscow for 2 years, 1973-1974..
One evening as I was driving back to the hotel, I came to a traffic stop. The elderly Russian policeman, was delighted to have stopped an English speaking foreigner. By way of explanation, as 'accredited foreigners', we were accorded the honor of fluorescent white license plates, that could be seen a mile away, even in the atrociously dim street lighting of Moscow.
In halting, but good English, he explained that as a young Red Army soldier, he was attached to a liaison group between the Red Army and the allies in Berlin in 1945, hence his English.. After a lengthy discussion, where he explained how much he liked to practice his language skills as often as he could, before I drove off he pulled out his tattered Rule Book..He thumbed to Section X, Sub-section Y, paragraph Z - he could only count in Russian- and read to me, with a big smile on his face Quote :- "Try not to shoot foreigners. It causes many administrative problems.." ..He told me that I now I should feel very safe, and wished me good night..

It seemed amusing at the time, but in retrospect, it was a Monty Python meets George Orwell scenario, where the real "moral of the story is.." :-

      Feel free to shoot anybody, as long as it does not cause a great deal of paperwork...

Very surreal now, looking back to an experience from over 40 years ago....
Regards
Richard

Looks like your story is a big lie....
