@GermanAizek

try the libaries of the following:
dbus
pulseaudio
networkmanager
avahi
I think wayland?
etc... also dbus itself is also pretty hard if not impossible to remove, not just its libraries.

@ralph

I figured you were going to say something about usb, bus, device type commands. I was hoping there was an easier way lol.

Oh well...

I just have to figure out now I guess how to find that info. lsusb gives some of it, but not sure if all will be given.

#28 Re: Freedom Hacks » Devuan without dbus » 2025-11-03 03:58:14

Curious about this as well to be honest. There is alot of stuff that doesn't need it, that is dependant on it.

For example, dhcpcd-gtk/dhcpcd-ui

doesn't need to be dependant on dbus, but debian idiotically does it anyways. Weird stuff man.

Anyone know how to pass a usb controller for say something like mupen64plus, to a virtual machine?

What options exist out of curiosity?

Mostly interested in qemu options for this though.

IE, so that the virtual machine works in qemu.

The only reason this could make sense is if they want to enable mediocre developers to make code that doesn't suck.

#32 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2025-11-02 19:54:35

Looks like the new devuan stable is out, I look forward to seeing you adjust your version to have it. big_smile

#33 Re: DIY » Qemu question » 2025-11-02 19:26:25

@pcalvert hmm...  perhaps... although I definitely saw a big improvement with changing kvm64,nx to max -smp 4.

The speed more than doubled when I did that at least.

As for virtualbox, I don't trust that software at all.

Virt-manager is closer to trustworthy, but meh...

@golinux I added the brackets

#34 Re: News & Announcements » Announcing Devuan 6.0 Excalibur! » 2025-11-02 19:18:42

Wondered when you guys were going to release the new stable. smile

Now I just wait for gnuinos to have the same version.

#35 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » noCSD for GTK4 » 2025-11-01 23:33:23

I have already seen gtk4 desktop environments... just bad...

qt6 is similar in that way.

The newer stuff keeps going for flashy nonsense. I hate it...

Smh to those who love it.

#36 Re: DIY » Qemu question » 2025-11-01 23:31:33

@ralph its between apostrophes now.

I tried using -smp 4 instead of kvm,+nx

And the rest the same and that helped, but I wonder if it can be better than this.

How can I change the below to make it faster?

It usually takes like 30+ seconds to boot up my system in a vm when I type in password. How can I make it closer to the speed of my native OS?

The below?

"qemu-img create -f qcow2 Unknown.qcow2 60G"

#The above is for making the image

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096 -cdrom Unknown.iso -boot d Unknown.qcow2 --enable-kvm 

#the above is for installing the image on the qcow2 built

qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm Unknown.qcow2 -cpu kvm64,+nx -m 4096 -device AC97

#the above is for loading the installed qcow2 image built anytime

 qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm Unknown.qcow2 -cpu kvm64,+nx -m 4096 -device AC97 -hdb /dev/sdb 

This one is for loading usb drives in the qcow2.

The above is how I tend to build my images, run them, etc...

I read that cpu/ smp can help, but I am curious how much.

EDIT: between apostrophes is the code.

 qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm Unknown.qcow2 -cpu kvm64,+nx -m 4096 -device AC97 

Does the above help?

@golinux good news:

https://www.androidauthority.com/graphe … p-3606853/

@dzz read the above link also

It seems the that grapheneos might be supported on more then google devices soon.

#39 Re: Off-topic » The “Ensh*ttification” of the Internet » 2025-10-31 00:04:49

If you have to use a cell phone, I recommend a grapheneOS phone. Nothing more, nothing less.

I don't recommend straight android, because Google is an abusive manipulator

@golinux eventually XFCE will prevent custom desktop themeing?  sounds like gnome developers messing up another desktop environment besides their own.

@kapqa the signature checks can be good, but occasionally, they can be a problem.

And sometimes it ain't easy to change them

#42 Re: Off-topic » Critical security flaw in sudo » 2025-10-19 04:53:15

@blackhole I suppose that could be a risk as well.

Truthfully, most software has vulnerabilities unless it doesn't connect to something that doesn't do anything online.

Although I suppose it could be more indirect than that.

#43 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] Development and goal of Devuan. » 2025-10-13 01:13:10

@golinux well of course, this world will eventually die, although... we will all likely be gone long before that happens.

The #1 problem with humanity is that we all want to have our way and feel justified in our ways and views.

Humanity would be peaceful if we didn't have such a tendency to get trapped by our egos.

The root of all evil seems to be rooted in the arrogance that exists within all people. Not one human in this life can erase their arrogant side. To do that would require us to be complete perfection and that is still impossible.

#44 Re: Off-topic » Critical security flaw in sudo » 2025-10-10 05:34:07

I prefer doas myself to be honest.  It is much less complicated but still has the functionality I need in sudo/su.

I use that even on devuan/gnuinos

With jwmkit combined with doas, I can shutdown properly or poweroff properly.

I cannot make heads or tails on how to do the same thing with sudo lol. There is just too much to sort out  in that  sudoers file

xD

use the command mocp to run it.

@stultumanto I agree with you on that. holding back firefox updates won't solve this problem. Librewolf is the best answer I believe.

#47 Re: Installation » firefox on old 32 bit cpu » 2025-10-02 03:29:37

@32bits That seems to be what greed does to the tech industry. Sadly...

@sarcade I recommend it. But if you run into errors with discourse, you will need modify http response and when palemoon forums come online.

Then again, I know what you need to do with that addon to make discourse behave too.

It's a pain that people use discourse. Its a terrible forum framework software

#48 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » question about resizing luks2 drives » 2025-09-27 06:27:14

Hmm... I'll try it whenever I get my new comp prolly. Or something. Now isn't great time for me to do so.

#49 Re: Installation » firefox on old 32 bit cpu » 2025-09-27 06:25:03

@sacrade2 you'd have a better chance of building palemoon for 32 bit honestly. Though I am not sure how anyone would do that. I have never built 32 bit palemoon before because never needed it. I stopped using 32 bit a while ago.

EDIT:

Well at least as my main OS.

On some computers I do use multilib and similar, but I don't think that's what you meant.

I have a luks2 installation of devuan, I disk cloned it from a qcow2 image, but when I copied it, it leaves a lot of unused space.

I tried to use cfdisk /dev/sda 

in order to reclaim space. It would work in my other distro (Hyperbola)

But it doesn't seem to do so for me in devuan 4. Weird as it might be.

Anyone know how I can add the unused space to home?

Like say I have 50G being UnUsed.  and only 440 of 490 space is being used. I want to put the other 50 in to /home.

How would I do this with or without loading a live iso?
