OpenRC is not recommended because it is does not have extensive testing on Devuan, yet.
bbswitch-dkms should solve your problem but it will deactivate your dedicated graphic card. Do you need help to install it?
It's dope and I like the colors. I also like what zephyr did with CROWZ but I wish he had a 32 bit ISO.
Do you provide a SHA256SUMS.asc as well?
The first five firmwares I selected are wireless only. Yes, firmware-realtek and firmware-ti-connectivity are wireless but they don't serve this sole purpose. That's why I put them in the non-WiFi category. It is just a matter of perspective
True, firmware-intelwimax is wireless only:
WiMAX provides Internet access in more places than current Wi-Fi hotspots and serves mobile users with a broader range of wireless coverage. High-speed connections provide access to rich content, complex media, and gaming experiences. WiMAX enables broadband connectivity on the go
Please read the full description in the review below.
WiMax 5150 is discontinued but there are more recent versions that are still up-to-date. The last one was reviewed in August 2018 by Intel: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en … rking.html
The ascii version of WiMax is the 6050 (v.1.5) one. It is more recent than 5150.

https://packages.debian.org/stretch/firmware-intelwimax
Moreover, I found another one even more recent in the backports:
https://pkginfo.devuan.org/stage/ascii/ … po9+1.html
https://packages.debian.org/sid/firmware-intelwimax
I did some digging via https://pkginfo.devuan.org/ and my search engine and I sorted the firmwares by category: WiFi/non-WiFi.
Basically, everything that has "wireless" in the description serves only this purpose, except firmware-intelwimax. I did not find much information about this one so I put it in the non-WiFi category, even though it has something to do with USB and WiFi (WiFi dongles maybe). Does anyone know what it is for?

friend, this xps-13 is the 2015 model
I know what you mean son. I have been using BSD for a while and they have terrible hardware support! They claim they are wizards but it just does not work on anything remotely non-neolithic. The whole point of Linux in my opinion is that we are not forced to install non-free stuff, it is more secure and I like to choose what I am going to install. I usually try the ISO in a virtual machine before the installation and I keep searching until I am sure I will not have any issues.
Linux's hardware support is not as bad as you make out. There are many rolling distros that would work instantaneously but in that case you are probably right. Why would you bother installing a Linux distro when it has so much non-free stuff included by default? You are better off with Windows 10 or OS X which are much easier to set up. Plus, you cannot be sure your hardware or your softwares will work the same way after an upgrade tomorrow. Devuan, Debian and so on are very stable as long as you do not run dist-upgrade or even worse aptitude full-upgrade between two versions. Why don't you try what fsmithred suggested and send links whenever there is an error? Once you have nailed the essence of the problem, you will never encounter it again
Il y a eu quelques rapports de problèmes aujourd'hui. Nous vérifions.
En fait, c'est assez fréquent ^^ J'utilise "fr.deb.devuan.org" depuis cet été et j'ai toujours eu des problèmes pour récupérer les paquets.
Il y a plus efficace que Google Translate. En France, on utilise ce site: https://www.linguee.fr/ C'est très fiable si tu recherches une expression ou un morceau de phrase. Ca permet de choisir la bonne expression en fonction du contexte. Le dictionnaire de français le plus facile est le Larousse français: https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais Ensuite, tu connais certainement wordreference.com http://www.wordreference.com/
Tu écris vachement bien en anglais, alors j'imagine que tu es anglophone?
Je voudrais savoir si quelqu'un rencontre des problèmes avec "fr.deb.devuan.org". Depuis que je l'utilise, il m'arrive fréquemment de ne pas pouvoir récupérer des paquets.
Tu te débrouilles pas mal en français golinux!
I wanted to remove all WiFi firmwares. Thank you, there are no errors now:

I noticed the package "apt-listchanges" is installed by default. Is it purely informative or am I supposed to tweak some packages every now and then as mentionned on the screenshot? Here is the output after sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade:

Thank you for this quality answer!
If your hardware requires a firmware package, it will get automatically installed in the regular install
Do you mean a firmware will not get installed if my hardware does not require it?
and if you choose expert install and use a mirror, you will be asked about non-free firmware.
Yes, but I find it much easier to handle non-free firmwares from the desktop live iso. Plus, the installation process is much quicker.
Edit: I have done it in /etc/apt/sources.list though:
Oh, now I see the problem. Commenting out lines like that doesn't work in bash. It does work in zsh (I do that in the config file in live-sdk.) I guess you'd need to remove those two lines entirely.
Try these new links:
https://ibb.co/jDEMbe
https://ibb.co/cjAuwe
Also, I thought about running your script to remove everything and install the firmwares I need one by one (dpkg -i) but "firmware-amd-graphics" does not appear in the /firmware directory.
I'm not sure what you mean. It's not the exact same list of firmware, but many are the same. Here's what's in the installer isos (this is from a mounted netinstall iso). These are actually symlinks to the packages, which are under /pool.
I am not sure I know how to find firmwares in my system to be honest. On my Devuan PC I installed via the classic netinst-iso, none of the firmwares below can be found with the command aptitude search name of the firmware, whereas I can find them in your ISO with the same command.
firmware-amd-graphics
firmware-atheros
firmware-bnx2
firmware-bnx2x
firmware-brcm80211
firmware-intelwimax
firmware-iwlwifi
firmware-libertas
firmware-linux-nonfree
firmware-myricom
firmware-netxen
firmware-qlogic
firmware-realtek
firmware-ti-connectivity
firmware-zd1211
I am asking these questions because I want to have more control over non-free firmwares. My current Devuan PC does not need any, while the laptop I am going to buy will need all of them except the wifi ones. Basically, I need two things:
1. For my old PC, I need a Devuan installation stripped of non-free firmwares.
2. For my new PC, I need a Devuan installation with all non-free firmwares, except the wifi ones.
I think your ISO makes it easier to install what I need than the regular one.
Many thanks
Hello!
Have you considered you did not choose the right tool for the job? You should try a rolling release if you want a bleeding edge distribution that works out of the box. I have never had any WiFi issues with Gentoo, even with high-end computers. And you will not have to worry about systemd. You can also check out MX Linux which uses sysvinit as well: 4.15 kernel and full of non-free blobs (but it works). I would never install that but it might be what you are looking for?
There is no non-free firmware from this list in the installer-iso, although I chose the standard installation (not advanced).
Your script works just fine but commenting out the lines above did not uninstall wifi firmwares:
http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/201 … nlive1.png
http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/201 … nlive2.png
However, I can uninstall "firmware-amd-graphics" and "firmware-linux-nonfree" if I comment out all lines except these two.
Hello!
I have read in the desktop-live readme file that it is possible to remove non-free firmware by running:
remove-non-free-firmware
I assume it removes only wireless non-free firmware? (I do not need any.)
If I understand correctly, these wireless non-free firmwares are included by default in the desktop-live iso and absent in the regular installer-iso? Am I correct?
Thank you.
Hello
I have the option to choose "Console productivity" tools with Devuan ASCII. I looked it up on the Internet and all I found was: "In addition, there are options for “Console productivity” with hundreds of CLI and TUI utils". https://devuan.org/os/debian-fork/ascii … nce-060818
Do your recommend installing console productivity tools? Could you explain more precisely what it is? What kind of CLI and TUI utils are included?
Thanks
Fair enough. Just to be sure, have you watched movies on websites such as Netlfix/Hulu? No buffering?
Streaming short videos on Youtube should not be a problem for any computer. I am not sure about movies though.
Hello
I am about to buy a new laptop and I would like to know whether an integrated graphic card is enough to stream videos without buffering or not.
I have always streamed videos on Windows with a dedicated graphic card and used Linux for work so I have no idea. The laptop I am going to buy will have an Intel Graphics 620 and decent specs.
Thanks
Hello
I am looking for a software to encrypt files on Devuan, preferably with a graphical interface.
Thanks
fungus, the instructions on the installer screen confirm what you have just said.
It may not be the best choice but I selected my country, then auto.mirror.devuan.org and my download speed seems to be fine.
For jessie, auto.mirror.devuan.org is fine.
auto.mirror.devuan.org then.
I am downloading the following iso:
devuan_jessie_1.0.0_i386_DVD.iso 24-May-2017 00:10 4G
https://files.devuan.org/devuan_jessie/installer-iso/
so yes, I use the Debian installer. I should easily find auto.mirror.devuan.org though.
Last time I chose a mirror during installation
When I install Devuan (during the installation, not before), I am prompted to choose a mirror to get additional packages. So you advise me to use:
- pkgmaster.devuan.org
- auto.mirror.devuan.org
I don't remember exactly but I think we have to choose a location (country) before selecting the mirror. In which country(ies) are these 2 mirrors located?
Hello
I need to install Devuan on a new PC today and I don't know which mirror to choose. Last time I chose a mirror during installation (the closest to my location), a few packages did not work properly so I used the packages included in the DVD.iso instead.
- Do you recommend the DVD.iso without the mirrors for maximum stability?
- If I want to use a mirror to get more packages, which one should I choose? Is there an official one?
Thanks!
You might want to take a look at Epiphany I reinstalled Devuan XFCE without the mirrors and it is bug free, except Epiphany. I can watch videos on Youtube when it does not crash but there is no sound, although I adjusted the volume to the maximum.
For the temperature captor/monitor to work: chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp as root.
Even though we can comment out /etc/apt/sources.list, I thought it was a bug. Thanks for the information by the way.
I never had to edit preferences to change the default view settings, good to know. It seems obvious now.
Edit: there are not as many packages as before without the mirrors, e.g. preload, freemind, freeplane, and XFCE is the only DE available. That's normal, right? Anyways, Freemind and Freeplane were outdated. I usually install them from the sources.
Hello
Devuan Jessie 1.0.0
XFCE i386 Full ISO (4.5 Go)
- Epiphany (browser) crashes every time I launch a video on Youtube.
- Chromium does not display the buttons play pause volume etc on videos. It displays squares instead. Same thing on forums such as jeuxvideo.com: instead of smileys, formatting text options (bold underline italic), I can only see squares http://www.jeuxvideo.com/forums/42-38-5 … le-log.htm. Also, a few videos cannot be read (I will give more details if necessary). No problem with LXDE.
- The temperature monitor needs tweaking to work properly. No problem with LXDE.
LXDE i386 Full ISO (4.5 Go)
- Epiphany (browser) crashes every time I launch a video on Youtube.
- In PCManFM, the folders view settings cannot be changed. It always goes back to the default view mode: icons. No problem with XFCE.
- Xfburn warning: "An error occurred setting gstreamer up for transcoding" No problem with XFCE.
XFCE and LXDE i386 Full ISO (4.5 Go)
I am prompted to insert the DVD when I install a new package.
Hello
Is it possible to implement the openbox Nightmare theme in XFCE? https://www.google.fr/search?q=nightmar … HVHC1qukM:
It comes with the Openbox configuration manager in Openbox, LXDE and LXQT but I have never been able to install it in other DE.
Thanks
