Necro-posting is a bit silly. Especially since HoaS has long since left the building . . .

/me yawns . . .

And here I was hoping you might want to jump in and take over the Devuan theming! LOL! Sorry . . . my theming days are over and if they weren't I would still only do tasks specifically related to Devuan not unrelated "wish-list" stuff. wink

Indeed, it is a special pond in which we all swim at Devuan. Welcome to our world!

As to the theming . . . all the past themes should be available in the Devuan repository but it is uncertain how much longer they will be viable. I am getting lots of xsession-errors because the gtk3 elements are being deprecated/replaced. I have been responsible for all the theming since the fork but someone else will need to take on that task going forward or we'll just recycle the old ones.

Welcome to Devuan but please don't double post. Your duplicate in Off-topic has been deleted. Thanks.

I have added it to the beta staging branch.  You can see it here:
https://beta.devuan.org/os/devuan-distros

I'll let someone else move it to the published site.

Thanks again for your contribution! See you next time . . .

Great! I have already added you to the derivatives list on this forum. Will add you to the list on WWW after b'fast. Cheers!

@grafiksinc . . .

I have been looking through the Peppermint site and collected a few points to include with your listing which I hope aren't too far off the mark. Feel free to make corrections and/or suggestions. Should the calamares installer be mentioned?

"Peppermint OS Devuan comes with an xfce desktop and essential core packages needed to run a system out of the box. This gives users an opportunity to build a system that best fits their needs. The Devuan build offers 64 and 32 bit versions as well as a choice of SysVinit (default), Runit or OpenRC."

Thanks!

Excellent!  Expanding available options is always a good thing! Do let us know if you want to be added to the Devuan derivatives list.

Hello there!

I am sure golinux wouldn't mind, because I was just doing some ghost writing...

xD O.o

zapper . . . iirc I have corrected you before on the assumption that HoaS wrote that text. He did not. That post was edited and the original text replaced by an administrator. This was the complete edited post:

Thanks for the update! Any stats you might want to share?

#739 Re: Off-topic » Hi all! Back again after many adventures! » 2023-10-02 19:15:36

OMG! Welcome home, greenjeans!!! Not long ago fsmithred and I were wondering what had happened to you. Congrats on your new home and internet connection  . . .

I am not the best person to answer your questions but . . . I am still using MBR and grub on chimaera. Your setup sounds similar to mine and it is still working for Chimaera. I also always have multiple backups before I start messing with installations/upgrades. As to sucky memory . . . sounds familiar . . . LOL!

@deepforest . . . Please stop NOW! This is not the place for that discussion.

And to those complaining . . . let it go. You are not walking in deepforest's shoes . . .

As debian user i say no its not normal behaviour every version of gimp works there so its devuan bug.

As a "Debian" user . . .  are you currently or have you ever actually used Devuan? Until you are more familiar with Devuan, it's probably best not to make sweeping, misleading and erroneous statements like that unless you like egg-on-face, of course . . . smile

#743 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Shotwell dependency confusion » 2023-09-13 21:22:03

Sorry I don't have a solution just my experience . . .

A very long time ago in simpler times, I used shotwell and liked it. Then it started to not-shot-so-well. Went around and around on their mailing list. Nothing I tried fixed it  I moved on to gtkam . . .

#744 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » installing a theme from the official devuan package repository » 2023-09-12 17:05:33

What DE or WM are you using? The default XFCE has all the past custom Devuan themes available

The link works just fine but the visible link is truncated so you cannot copy/paste it directly. Use the complete URL.

#745 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » installing a theme from the official devuan package repository » 2023-09-12 16:11:47

Charon795 . . . Certain themes are available by default and you can switch them in Xfce from the "Settings - Appearance" options.

You can see the Devuan specific artwork in our git store:

https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documenta … t/graphics

There are also previews on the forum for the first 5 Devuan releases.

#746 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Nvidia and Chimaera - driver 535? » 2023-09-10 19:28:09

Good that you got it solved. However an note . . .

If "Chimaera" was any part of the setup and you typed "Chimeara" as you did in your initial post, perhaps that was partly at fault?

I am going to edit that post to prevent further confusion . . .

ruenoak . . . jaromil thinks he knows what the issue is and is supposedly working on it.  He'll post here when it is fixed.

2. I want to put a theme from the following site: https://www.xfce-look.org/p/1661959
Chose the Colloroid theme. The question is how to install it instead of the standard one?

You can either put it into /home/[youuser].themes/ or in /usr/share/themes. You will need to put it into /usr to have the theme work on synaptic etc.
