Why don't you start with one desktop and then expand incrementally instead of throwing a smorgasbord at it.

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.

Probably coming from Debian.  I don't think that any of the devs are messing with ceres.

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.

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>

Bienvenue a notre galaxy, Vincent! Merci pour votre 'Installer Devuan GNU+Linux'.   Je ne parle pas le Francais depuis beaucoup d'ans mais je peux lire . . .

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.

@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-free

Then the above commands will be able to find midori.

Why not just start a thread titled something like "Share your customized Devuan graphics"?  A good place might be the DIY forum.

@darry1966 . . . I'm not sure how much of the contamination is coming from upstream and how much is being introduced by  Debian.  As steelpillow mentioned . . . if the upstream source is clean (and init agnostic) we can work around blocks coming from Debian.   But if upstream decides not to allow for other options, our work will indeed be much harder.  The  more traction that Devuan gains, the more leverage we'll have to expect upstream to support what we are doing.

Maybe it needs gvfs to automount?

I have no idea.  Try without.  Then the next option would be to log out/in.  Then a reboot if all else fails.   I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!  Sorry it took me a few days to get around to pulling out the camera to get the info.

@fungus . . . Do you know what Docker is?

@mcandre . . . Found this old thread on the dng mail list.  There has been very little discussion of Docker over the years here - mostly lxc.  But do search dng and the botbot logs for the freenode#devuan irc channel.  You might find a kindred soul to work on Docker for Devuan.
