LOL....Looks great.  Of course if someone is red/green color blind it will be all shades of grey, but 2 instead of 50.  smile

Do you have lightdm-gtk-greeter?  If not apt install it then reboot.

apt install slim

 apt install lightdm

I don't know their plans, and I know consolekit has basically been dropped by any developers. I don't know if Devuan will continue to supply it or focus on elogind. I do know consolekit was not in the Beowulf repos the last time I checked. So that presents some issues for my derivative(s) using Beowulf as it is now.

Consolekit is replaced with Consolekit2 which is maintained by Xfce team.

^ I second this.  LXQt team is doing a great job, I highly recommend it.

Wait a minute, if they are using i3, then there is no desktop to click on, its keyboard driven.  You can click inside windows, but thats it.

#65 Re: Installation » Difference between DE during installation from dvd installer » 2019-01-28 20:57:13

Xfce is the default, so if you leave that unticked and do not choose a DE then Xfce will be installed.  The top option is for task which brings in lots of desktop goodies that most people will want.  So unless you really like minimal installs and you know exactly what you want/need, then leave those checked. 

PS: LXQt is also a very nice option.  wink

PSS: If you do want minimal then untick everything except the last option and you will reboot to console, where you can login as root and apt install whatever you need, keep in mind that includes needing to add Xorg, etc...

A rotating location each release would be ideal.  smile  However, since many of the dev's are in Europe it makes sense to have it there.

#69 Re: Devuan » Great OS, minor critiques » 2019-01-26 01:28:02

instead of ppa's use backports: https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
just change it to:

deb http://us.deb.devuan.org/merged/ ascii-backports main non-free contrib  #(or something similar to match your mirror)

remember to use the switch: apt -t ascii-backports install  "package" (or search etc...)

#70 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » KDE4 on Ascii » 2019-01-26 01:22:18

unless someone forks kde4 it is basically EOL: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page= … eeBSD-2018

PS: I suppose you could keep a local copy of all KDE4 files/programs and keep it that way, however, there is no guarantee it will work moving forward when underlying compilers etc... change.

#73 Re: Devuan » Great OS, minor critiques » 2019-01-22 20:38:37

Devuan is not *buntu or Mint, some things are not going to be as point clicky and GUI friendly.  Synaptic is great, apt is better, read-learn-grow.  Regarding tips for users and groups: https://www.howtogeek.com/50787/add-a-u … -on-linux/
