#3101 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.
#3102 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.
#3103 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.

. . . with more great icons rather than tango...
Tango icons? There are no Tango icons in the default Devuan Xfce4 desktop theme. Not even installed on my computer.
#3105 Re: Devuan » After Ascii: A Devuan wishlist. » 2017-08-09 18:57:00
@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.
#3106 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » USB 3.0 expresscard detected but not working [SOLVED] » 2017-08-09 18:48:46
I have already been banned once by golinux . . .
Really? From the time on jaromil's archived email (assuming UTC) - https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 43.en.html - I would have been sound asleep when it happened.
As to your sig etc. . . . it is an empty, adolescent gesture that accomplishes nothing of value but does create an environment that is equally toxic as the one that you are opposing. I keep hoping that maybe you'll grow up some day . . .
#3107 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » USB 3.0 expresscard detected but not working [SOLVED] » 2017-08-09 15:21:19
Maybe it needs gvfs to automount?
#3108 Re: Other Issues » iPhone and PTP Camera are not being mounted » 2017-08-08 04:18:55
One more thing to try. I also have libgphoto2-port12 version 2.5.8-1~bpo8+1 installed. This was likely just a fluke because early on amprolla was merging bpo into the main repos. Took me a while to catch on to that so I do have some bpo mixed in that I ordinarily wouldn't have. But perhaps that's what gphoto2 needs? If all else fails, maybe a card reader would work?
#3109 Re: Other Issues » iPhone and PTP Camera are not being mounted » 2017-08-08 03:15:01
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.
#3110 Re: Other Issues » iPhone and PTP Camera are not being mounted » 2017-08-08 03:00:18
I have an old Canon Powershot (PTP) that wouldn't mount on Jessie. I can't remember how I got it working but it now automounts at gphoto2://[usb:001,056]/ with root permissions. A notification pops up and the directory appears in the Thunar side pane tree.
That directory contains these sub-directories,
DCIM - photos are here
MISC - empty
So you might want to install gphoto2 and see if it can find your camera at least. Some searching on the above might give you additional hints. No clues about your phone - don't have one.
#3111 Re: Installation » Official Docker image? » 2017-08-07 21:48:26
@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.
#3112 Re: Devuan Derivatives » do you know when the earliest that gnuetertics will be in english? » 2017-08-06 18:48:57
Are you talking about https://gnuetertics.org? If so you should probably correct the spelling in the title.

OK. Where I can get sunxi image Devuan for my OrngPI ?
Is the one here not what you need?
#3114 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute keys not working » 2017-08-06 01:34:55
Given that Pulse Audio was created by the same Rat responsible for systemd (vomit), should not we be using an ALSA based system for the management of Sound and associated devices?
This has been debated since the beginning of the fork. Since newer versions of Firefox require PA, our choice is to capitulate or devise a rock solid way to use apulse instead.
Should I file a Bug report for this at https://bugs.devuan.org/ ?
Sure, please do.

Hadn't looked in a while because everything just works. But after looking at that tangled mess, I'm wondering how that can possibly be. Worst offender? Google hangouts! Avidemux was a close second. Just had to share . . .
#3119 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Occasional reboot waking up from suspend » 2017-08-03 03:05:14
. . . secondly I tend to prefer using the shift key or ctrl key to wake a sleeping compute . . .
Since I started to use the Ctrl key, there has not been one spontaneous reboot when waking up from suspend. So it was either that or possibly an upgrade around that time. I'll mark this as solved.
#3120 Re: Devuan » Questions for switching from Arch Linux to Devuan » 2017-07-31 01:11:20
I do know they are working on the next release - ASCII - its named after a star.
No, not a star. It's the name of a minor planet in our solar system.
rsyslog is an issue - but there are two other loggers that work --(i did the something-ng one without an issue) and there is another workaround mentioned.
To clarify . . . from https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=4081#p4081
. . . you can install rsyslog from backports (or else replace it with syslog-ng or busybox-syslogd

Before you ask your question, search duckduckgo.com for any error messages you may have gotten because answers and/or documentation for Debian will often be the same for Devuan. Post here once you have confirmed that it's not an upstream issue,
If you have a question about Devuan, this user forum is a good place to start. But there are other resources available that might help you to find an answer even before you ask here or if your question here goes unanswered. Each of these resources has its pros and cons. Once you become more familiar with them, you'll know the best place to either find an answer or start a discussion about something new.
Devuan's irc channels always have the most current chatter about what's going on with Devuan. #devuan is logged at botbot and the search function will take you to conversations that go back to the very beginning of the fork. Irc is also where you'll most likely catch a developer to ask a specific technical question.
The DNG mail list was started before the fork was official. All the history is there as well as debates and sometimes lengthy technical discussions.
Finally, check the Devuan bugtracker to see if your issue has already been reported. If it has, respond with any additional information.
Please let me know if I've missed anything and I'll add it to this list.
#3122 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] XFCE (Really Xorg) Max Resolution Problem » 2017-07-28 21:47:31
Do you login with slim? Maybe try lightdm? Or possibly set the resolution in xorg.conf? I haven't had to do any of that in years but can remember when it was necessary.

Its robustness was short-lived as that option to apt-file no longer exists.
More information as to why not would be helpful. Perhaps it was PEBKAC . . .
