Greetings fellow Devuaneers!

Today marks 10 years since the first Devuan installation isos were released. Jaromil posted the "pre alpha valentine (secret love declaration)" announcement to the DNG mailing list:

So take a trip down memory lane and feel the love for the Devuan team and our users and celebrate their dogged determination which has beaten the odds!

May the fork be with you!

The Devuan Team

Is there benefit to spending ANY time on gaming? wink

All conditioned things are impermanent . . .

The thing is, this is a Devuan package. It should work on Devuan. Users shouldn't need to figure out how to fix it, then fix it, on their own - that's what we have distro developers and maintainers for after all...

Our developers and maintainers are USERS like you. They are neither hired nor paid for their efforts to provide a service for Devuan users. Currently, no one is even bothering to build the installer testing isos so that should put your complaint into perspective! Perhaps consider becoming part of the solution by providing a patch?

Refresher course in Devuan's forum policy from 2016-12-01 for those who have forgotten or never seen it:

The dev1galaxy.org (almost) No Code of Conduct

#282 Re: Off-topic » Statement regarding X community » 2025-01-31 00:09:53

My personal opinion . . . X is poison. I have no idea why anyone with working brain cells would touch it.  But then . . . I never tweeted either. If Debian is leaving X perhaps, for once, they are making a sane decision.

@pcalvert . . . Yes, the isos need to be rebuilt regularly. Problem is they may need to be debugged before the iso will work properly.

#284 Re: News & Announcements » November 27 is a day to celebrate! » 2025-01-27 15:55:05

@einpoklum . . . Haven't seen you in a very long time. Welcome back and thanks for the financial support.

#285 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2025-01-23 01:27:47

If you read the edit above . . . the task involves more than just making the isos. Some of the components might also need to be debugged . . .

#287 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2025-01-23 01:02:58

I'm pretty sure this is the current installer iso. Have at it!

Edit: Seems like it is now isolinux installer

#288 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2025-01-23 00:45:05

@Ralph.Ronnquist . . . Didn't you move away from the Debian installer a while ago? Or perhaps I am misremembering.

#289 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2025-01-23 00:20:58

Sadly, hot air may be a comfort in the dreary cold of winter but it will not lift a balloon full of holes . . . If words do not lead to useful action what use are they?

#290 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2025-01-22 23:37:43

Why is this conversation even happening when currently no one is building the installer isos! Seems like ya'll have lost sight of priorities . . .

#293 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Black screen afte boot » 2025-01-21 22:10:33

I added code tags to the above. That and other options are found immediately above the text input box.

For root access try su -.

#294 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2025-01-21 20:34:59

What is in a name? "Systemditis" is an imaginary affliction. If the files do nothing what does it matter except take up a few bits or is it bytes? Devuan does not have the human resources to remove all of those useless barnacles though someone did manage to do it early on for Jessie.

@zapper . . . You seem to take the joke thread with you wherever you go . . . wink

Think of this entire post as a train wreck getting hit by a necro-posting meteor . . .

#298 Re: News & Announcements » Merry Christmas » 2025-01-17 15:55:18

@greenjeans . . . The "holiday season" (which only a minority of the world celebrates) is long over and your comment is good note on which to close this thread.

#299 Re: Off-topic » 2025 Topics: AI Controls, Global Datacenters, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. » 2025-01-17 15:46:15

@zapper . . . Nonsense is wasteful pollution for this forum and also for the individuals participating.

#300 Re: News & Announcements » Merry Christmas » 2025-01-16 20:41:41

Human derived "celebrations" are useless, inconsequential and delusional and bind us to fantasies and the narratives de jour ( or try to).
