Okay...thanks!

Like I said, it wasn't a big deal...after all, it's unstable! tongue  I just found it interesting.  smile

Thank you my friend!

It's working normally again now.

Not sure what caused (nor fixed) the issue...

Within the last week, when I update/upgrade my Ceres system, it has started a long delay as apt-listbugs searches for bug reports. It will hang on...

Retrieving bug reports 0%

...for several minutes before finally proceeding.

I've searched online, but I haven't found an answer for the issue.

It's not a big deal to me, but I was just wondering if any other Ceres users are experiencing this, and if so, did you find a way to fix it?

Why not use x-terminal-emulator instead?

Well, because there are a few people who like MiyoLinux (and the crappy stuff I offer), but they don't use Devuan/Debian. Plus, xterm can be made quite beautiful with a little bit'a .Xresources. wink

Thanks for doing what you did HoaS...I've never tried building a terminal-based app. You made it easy. smile

cool

Stinkin' fantastic HoaS! smile

You better know that I'm going to crappin' fork your crappy fork of My Crappy Radio Player... wink

I've already made some changes to the code to suit my personal taste; such as, changing it from whiptail to dialog, changing the terminal to xterm and having xterm automatically iconified when it opens to play a radio station.

However, I'm caught betwixt a crux of decisions since you went all GPL 3.0-only on me after I made it Public Domain...

You stinkin' stinker! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! tongue

#35 Re: Installation » "target_home" dir after installation? » 2023-01-21 01:34:36

The Refracta Installer is by far my favorite installer...whether using the GUI or terminal versions.

While I will agree that "getting used to it" may be a hindrance to some people, once you get used to it, it's stinkin' spectacular!!!

It may not offer all of the bells and whistles that other installers do, but what it does offer, it offers it well.

I'll take the Refracta Installer over the buggy Calamares installer any day.

...but that's just me. Many thanks to the developer of the Refracta Installer! Just know that your work is appreciated!!! smile

I plan to add a "fake" package (made with equivs) for polkitd so I can use sway without having that shit running just in case the bug report isn't actioned before the bookworm release. Leaving this post here as a reminder.

Does anybody want any other fake packages while I'm at it? It'll be just like running Slackware but without the ridiculous disk usage big_smile

Hey man...I'm redesigning the Crappy Radio Player...

I'm working on adding tabs for different music genres instead of having them all just thrown together.

Although...just throwing them all together is more inline with it being "Crappy". tongue

Hahaha!

Make no mistake: I am a dangerous far-left radical hell bent on overthrowing Western "civilisation".

I'm just getting off from working 36 hours straight...

I'll make .deb packages for My Crappy Radio Player and the MiyoLinux Update Notifier after I've had time to recover. HoaS, what do I need to do in order to upload them to your site?

I know this is currently just in discussion, but if this comes to fruition can I suggest it be called "The Devuan Community's  Crapton Repository" or the DCCR for short.  Of course in the Devuan community It will simple be known as Crapton.

I don't know, but I think Crapton is a great name for it...but that's just me and my quirkyness...  tongue

Neither Debian or Devuan offer a rolling release. Testing/unstable are development branches, which is not the same thing at all. A rolling release distribution should always have all of the packages upgraded in sync and so should always be usable, at least theoretically. De{bi,vu}an's development branches are not expected to be usable at any given time.

Hey man...I'm just using language that gets the point across. I didn't know the Language-Police would write me a citation for it...

LOLOLOL!!! wink

Well...I don't know...I've been using unstable for years. HAHAHAHA! tongue

Yep.

Well...I did say that I did that back around 2015 or 2016. tongue

Over the last couple of years, I've noticed that building a Devuan/Debian system installs a crapton of packages now...even with using --no-install-recommends (thanks to Zapper for my new favorite word! smile )

EDIT: Removed the extra-hanging-dangling H from the end of the above HAHAHAHA! so that the Language-Police won't write me up again... tongue
