self explanitory no?
click link, see option for abiword
LOL! My old eyes didn't even see that link. I always bold my links just for that reason. Hmm . . . maybe I should do that in the css . . .

Please do us a favor and enclose your code with code tags because the thread now looks like it is 2 miles long.
And adding those BBCode tags is only a click away just above the input box.

Guess you're not 0n the dng mail list . . .

That should give you some clues about what's going on.
#3007 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Ethernet and WiFi cards not recognized » 2017-08-20 20:28:35
Also, there was no installer when I launched the live CD in VirtualBox.
Look for refractainstaller in the system menu. Isn't there an icon on the desktop to launch it?

RE: friendsofdevuan wiki [mostly for @golinux or @jaromil]
FTR, the wiki is hosted by FlibberTGibbet. msi (with feedback from me) has recently done a major reorganization that is still very much in process. Jaromil is not involved.
golinux wrote in #1
Contribute RTFM stuff - Documentation and/or translations in any language are needed. Contributions could go into <https://friendsofdevuan.org/doku.php>
the 'contact' page is empty
So it is! The wiki was recently restructured and obviously the linkage to that page was broken. I'll try to get that fixed. I have also updated the links to the wiki in this thread.
How would I submit info to the wiki
Have you registered yet? Be aware that approval is a manual process because of the volume of spam to the site. Items coming from Dev1Galaxy most likely should go into the Community Documentation area of the wiki but the new landing page is not set up yet.
-- there are tidbits scattered all over DNG and dev1galaxy
that might fit into the structure of the wiki. In someways it is a condensed version of dev1galaxy
without the 'experimentation/errors' and such
Very true. And we have envisioned something like that but progress has been at a snail's pace.
looking forward -- Devuan is getting bigger - I noticed more requests for info that isn't Devuan related!!!
Hopefully we will continue to grow both in the number of users as well as packagers and developers. I see you are taking on d1h. Good for you!
#3009 Re: Other Issues » apt apt-get synaptic madness in ceres (major BUG or what?) » 2017-08-19 14:17:02
Just for clarity:
Devuan = Debian
Jessie 1.0 = Jessie (old stable)
ASCII (in process) = Stretch (stable)
Beowulf (not yet set up) = Buster (testing)
Ceres = sid
#3010 Re: Off-topic » If you like to write shell scripts and good with math I have a project » 2017-08-19 02:13:32
I am here to find someone who would like to write and share a shell script that duplicates the output of my SQL scripts.
Exactly. I am still dumbfounded why you thought a self-promotional Off Topic first post was a good idea . . .
Maybe I should have asked on SQL support web instead, they too have people with good scripting skills.
Actually, it would seem an odd first post on just about any forum imo.
#3011 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] pkexec authenticates without password » 2017-08-19 01:36:34
Why don't you start with one desktop and then expand incrementally instead of throwing a smorgasbord at it.
#3012 Re: Off-topic » If you like to write shell scripts and good with math I have a project » 2017-08-19 01:34:25
"vanity site" ?
You have one link in your profile and one in your footer and your first post is only tangentially related to Devuan. That seems a bit too self-promotional/spammy for a first post. It was very nearly deleted.
Did I do something unethical?
No. Just an awkward self-absorbed entrance to this community. It was a real turnoff.
I asked for someone with a specific skill in shell scripting and math. I work very hard to make sure the web explains its purpose.
There is no registration on that web because it is not a public forum, I plug that web and its projects everywhere because that is how you find like-minded people. I am looking for people to get a project going. I am trying to create something meaningful.
It really is all about you and your project isn't it . . . Why are you here exactly?
#3013 Re: Other Issues » apt apt-get synaptic madness in ceres (major BUG or what?) » 2017-08-19 00:45:29
AFAIK, no one is working on ceres atm. We've barely started on ascii. Anyone running on ceres should have the chops to fix it. But devuan has very unique problems that straight debian would not have. amprolla has some systemd filters in place and that will improve in amprolla3 which is not operational yet. Bottom line . . . if you want to live on the cutting edge, you just could get sushied! Your choice. It would progress devuan more if you were finding and helping with bugs in ascii.
*edit* Have been re-thinking the above and I don't think it's quite right. I don't know that the devs will ever take on anything in sid. Perhaps someone could clarify.
Another factor that might be affecting you ceres is that as yet there is no equivalent of debian's current testing - buster. So you've missed an entire release in your upgrade.
#3014 Re: Off-topic » If you like to write shell scripts and good with math I have a project » 2017-08-19 00:36:36
This was a rather questionable first post. Isn't it YOU who should be contributing to improve Devuan rather than us populating the content of your vanity site? Think about it. Otherwise, enjoy your stay here.
#3015 Re: Other Issues » apt apt-get synaptic madness in ceres (major BUG or what?) » 2017-08-18 23:28:15
So who comes up with 3 massive upgrades a day in ceres?
Probably coming from Debian. I don't think that any of the devs are messing with ceres.
I am not being sarcastic, but have the non-vacationing americans taken over? ;D
No. Things are pretty much dead in the water atm. Except for a few of us irrepressible folks from across the pond on help desk.
#3016 Re: Other Issues » apt apt-get synaptic madness in ceres (major BUG or what?) » 2017-08-18 23:01:38
No developer in 10 days has even offered a hint to diagnose the problem. Is this forum a joke between disoriented users?
This is a user forum but I hardly think it's joke. Some devs rarely come here. They do look at bug reports - I can't remember whether you filed one - and they hang out on irc channels. What makes it worse is that many of them in EU are on a month long 'holiday' so things have pretty much ground to a halt.
#3017 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] New Releases Uploaded » 2017-08-18 15:39:53
Yes, most likely the 'gtk3 sickness'. It's going to get harder and harder to find usable themes. No doubt works perfectly in Gnome </sarcasm>

Another option . . . this was posted to DNG.
#3021 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Security updates for devuan jessie » 2017-08-13 16:31:12
To get around the liblognorm2 dependency, install rsyslog from backports or else replace it with syslog-ng or busybox-syslogd.
Not a good idea to use Debian repos directly. Could possibly get some systemd 'stuff' and the numbering will be different from devuan's merged repo which could affect updates down the line.
#3023 Re: Installation » How to proceed to install the browser midori on Devuan? » 2017-08-12 14:01:49
@brday . . . midori 0.5.11-ds1-2~bpo8+1 is available in backports. Add this to your sources.list, download midori and then disable that repository as upgrading everything from backports is _not a good idea_.
http://us.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie-backports main contrib non-freeThen the above commands will be able to find midori.
#3024 Re: News & Announcements » How you can help Devuan » 2017-08-12 13:48:23
Hi.
Who would I communicate with about what 'donating a hosted machine' would entail. I'd be happy to support in this way; I'd need someone to talk (walk!) me through the process and its implications, but in principle and at first glance I may be able to support devuan in this way.
Thanks for the offer, leloft. Please communicate with us on irc libera#devuan-dev or the dng mail list.
#3025 Re: Forum Feedback » How about a Devuan and derivatives graphics/art section for the forum? » 2017-08-10 23:10:24
Why not just start a thread titled something like "Share your customized Devuan graphics"? A good place might be the DIY forum.
