#801 Re: Devuan » Can anyone fill me in on why and how exactly systemd took over Linux? » 2023-08-22 19:05:18
How long before they work out ways to exclude Devuan from being able to decouple systemd? I'm sure it's in the works.
That may end up depending on how many elves there are in the workshop. Devuan has been a labor of love for many of us but we are a small team that could use more hands on deck. Sadly folks love to USE Devuan but not many donate their time and talent(s) to help create it so the bus factor looms. We need redundancy and a new generation of creatives to keep Devuan on track. Care to dive in?

https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=120652Lots of good stuff in these links, thanks very much! One line that jumped out at me in the final article, "there was no debate". Very interesting how these things can happen, they creep in and before you know it, it's a fait accompli. Too late to do anything about it now! Oh well! Kind of reminds me of some other things that have happened more recently in the political realm, but we won't go into all that.
Having lived through it, I can testify that it was indeed the ugly, farcical manipulation that dasein analyzes so eloquently. Some of those speaking out were banned from the Debian developers mailing list. I got a warning. There was some debate on the Debian forum at the time but systemd discussions are now not even allowed afaik. When IBM bought Red Hat, everything started to come into focus, then Poettering moved to MS and then, fait accompli, everything became perfectly clear.

DUH! So much for my reading skills! It's been a busy morning . . .

Sorry for the noise.

If you find a way to fix it, do share with the community. Thanks.
#806 Re: Devuan » Meet the Daedalus sapphire theme » 2023-08-20 01:16:50
Question: How to make the grub and theming reflect Daedalus instead of Chimaera
You'll need to switch to the Clearlooks-Phenix-Sapphire theme in "Appearance" or manually from /usr/share/themes/ and also select it in the "Window Manager" options. There may be other parts in /usr/share/themes/. grub-styling is in /usr/share/desktop-base/. It is the default in Daedalus (or should be). How it's set up is a mystery to me but maybe fsmithred can jump in to sort things more clearly. Nice to hear that some folks really like Sapphire. Thank you!
[EDIT] You can also get all the pieces HERE.
#807 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] "Powered by Devuan" icons? » 2023-08-19 21:44:43
OK. I broke down and repositioned the logo. It was a quick and dirty job and I had to boot my old Jessie to do it. Ugh!
Anyway, while IMO it is an improvement, the font sizing relative to the logo is not harmonious. Would probably look better centered between the V and A with both ends at the apex of those to letters that were created especially for this logo. I leave that task to those of you who can speak machine better than I. Here you go:

Yes. If appropriate.

@boughtonp & alexkemp . . . thanks for working on a way to create a "Powered by Devuan" icon that Devuan can be proud of! I would join the technical fray but as I age the effort of dealing with the machine is overwhelming . . . 
I can help to optimize the layout verbally though. 
Black and white is fine as the colors have always changed with each release. And kiss. No borders or drop shadows. We are minimalists in this camp!!

I think that swoosh-like 'D' should have its own space ... eh ... room around it. Quick and dirty: https://test.szaktilla.de/powered_by_devuan.png

Still looks lopsided. Try aligning it all the way to the right side of the "N" . . .
#811 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] "Powered by Devuan" icons? » 2023-08-19 01:51:10
Yes. Right now it is a bit cramped and lopsided but shouldn't take much to fix it . . .
#812 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] "Powered by Devuan" icons? » 2023-08-19 01:43:02
Someone just sent me this: https://transfer.sh/Lr44QJPhCW/powered_by_devuan.png
Would look better to get the text off of the swoosh and jammed in the corner. I'd line it up to the RH side. Would be much more balanced. I would do it myself but . . . well after nearly nine years of doing it myself, it's time to pass the torch.
For those who might be interested, here's the history of the creation of the Devuan logo back in 2015.

It should disappear if you press the F11 key - press again to get it back.
I've accidentally done that a number of times. First time freaked me out!

Nope.
Didn't have it in Chimaera either, and everything worked..
Things change from release to release. It is always a good idea to read the Release Notes and also this page to make sure that your sources.list is configured correctly.
#821 Re: Devuan Derivatives » List of Devuan derivatives » 2023-08-17 01:24:28
linwirepa . . . thank you for creating a new Devuan spin and posting it here. That being said . . . I find the Debian logo in the banner of your website inappropriate in this context. It could be confusing for some and who knows what Debian would do if they saw that association with Devuan using their logo!!

What else would you expect but instability when you play on the bleeding edge of "unstable" (sid)? What you are experiencing is the norm . . .
