Hey, JWMKIT, I wondered if you can make a tar release, so Hyperbola devs could add it to their repository, also btw, if you do this, I suppose debian could also and other stable release operating systems.
So yeah, I would appreciate it if you made a new release on this soon. On your codeberg.org repo, I mean.
Oh and by the way, huge note to make,
doas has a way to bypass for certain commands how to activate certain commands in regular user mode.
So, I can actually suspend or poweroff easily now.
Zapper, I'm glad you found something that works and hope it's a good solution for you. I may of been wrong in my previous post about needing to change the .desktop for JWMKit Logout as your links to this app are probably in the static part of the menu and the tray. In this case you need to make the changes to it with both the Tray and Menu tools. Sorry about that, but I assume you figured this out already.
I'll also make the assumption that since my app does not support doas (which I've been hearing a lot about lately) that you are just calling jwmkit_logout with doas instead of using a feature built into the logout app. Which I guess would work just as well.
Now I need to add doas support to jwmkit_logout. . . I think I may take another approach and just allow the user specify the specific logout commands they want.
Semi figured it out, not completely, but its a huge improvement.
Yes, I called it with doas instead. heh...
sakura -e doas /sbin/poweroff
sakura -e doas /sbin/reboot
That's how I activate it currently.
Its fine atm, till a better solution appears.
Zapper, you need to start jwmkit_logout with the correct parameters. The default is to use consolekit, but It's only one option and not truly dependent on it. You can tell it to work differently, but your system will need to be configured to work with one of the options.
The following examples all use /sbin/reboot, and /sbin/poweroff
jwmkit_logout gksu ------ will use gksu
jwmkit_logout sudo ------ will use sudo
jwmkit_logout nosu ----- will just issue the /sbin/poweroff /sbin/reboot commands without out asking for root permissioncheck here for more info
logout parametersTest it by starting jwmkit_logout from the terminal, and when you find a working solution use jwmkit_freedesktops to change the command line in the .desktop file so it will affect your menus.
I hope this helps.
It helps somewhat, yes, but how do I make it the default, I guess?
I apologize if you gave me the answer already and I am unaware... not an expert, aka.
Update: I got it functioning via doas, not sure how to do it without root, but if it has any security risks, it may be better off anyways.
That being said, I appreciate your work!
You have no idea how much this helps me.
Considering how stable people say devuan chimaera is, I would say probably less than a year and it will be stable.
If nothing else though, looking at the difference in release dates will give you a good idea.
But yeah, when its ready is the official answer.
Puppy Linux packages of JWM Kit have been updated and uploaded. Both FOSSA (Ubuntu based) and SLACKO (Slackware based) versions.
If you already downloaded the FOSSA version please download again. It was an old version. I also advise uninstalling the old version before installing this one. Sorry about that
Actually, I was using Hyperbola and using the jwmkit archbuild...
The newer one from codeberg I used...
I would assume it works well even for devuan.
Thanks in advance for asking though and I appreciate you are working on the keybindings situation.
I also like that shutdown, poweroff and logout don't have any stupid redhat depends... such as dbus, elogind, etc...
Unrelated, but anything I use in Hyperbola almost always works in Devuan.
Edit: it seems I might be wrong, I just checked and the shutdown function doesn't work without dbus or consolekit or elogind, atm...
logout works, but poweroff/reboot not so much yet. The buttons appeared for it, but clicking on it hasn't done anything... I wonder what went wrong.
just a heads up. PS, terminal emulator lets me use superuser rights to shut it down with poweroff or reboot. So I know that's not the problem.
But either way, its nice to have most of the features anyways.
Still, if you feel like fixing for me, let me know, aka, a dbusless and consolekitless/elogindless fix.

I used to have interest in voidlinux myself, for gaming, but since I have stopped doing so, and Voidlinux switched back to OpenSSL, it has lost any purpose of me wanting to use it, for anything.
I had heard that too, zap, but I found that libressl is still available and there are instructions for installing it. I guess libressl just lost its default status to openssl is all that happened. Another thing that would be of interest to you is that unless you use certain web browsers or desktop environments, a base installation of Void seems to run without dbus.
I'll have to figure out how to find and remove all the non-free firmware it installs with and how to install Linux libre. Should be able to libretize it.
Void can work without dbus? I am surprised, I didn't know this... hmm.
Do you know if they plan to remove libressl in the future completely? Regardless, for me its Hyperbola or bust at this point.

Is that the musl libc version? I've recently installed that myself but it's at the bare console stage atm.
No, I decided to start with glibc as it gave me the best chance of running with the most software. I'm going to try the musl version soon and see if Bedrock Linux with the Devuan Ceres strata will install on top of it.

Someone has removed my bug report from the bug tracker based on a personal conflict, and shadow-banned me from the developers mailing list, he doesn't even care about hundreds of users who will boot to face a blocked networking, the time and effort and the fact that they might leave instead of attempting a solution. This distro is a joke.

Take it easy man, your just hurting yourself with that temper...
I have been there, but raging will only hurt you in the long run.
I must admit, I don't use devuan as much as I used to, but man, you seem on edge.
Please seek help, no one wants to see you bury yourself.
Okay? Please?
It really isn't worth losing your marbles... trust me.
Anywho, hope you have a better rest of the week.
definitely is an improvement, logout, shutdown, reboot, are now easier to access, thank you! not to mention, the application menu among other things...
Although, keybindings were somewhat tricky to do in your setup, but still its a huge improvement.
All in all, good job!
I'm hoping @andyprough can give use his thoughts on s6 v runit speed.
My 2 cents: Devuan + runit is very fast to boot up on an Xfce desktop installation. Artix + s6 was faster on the same PC. I would guess (relying on my memory of when I had Artix installed, 1.5 years ago) that Artix + s6 felt like an order of magnitude faster, but both are so quick that we're only really talking about a difference of a few seconds. Might be a different story, in favour of s6, for a server installation?
Just in general I wondered what the difference was.
Also, which is a larger package would be interesting too.
Is it wise to use wicd now that Python2 is obsolete? https://packages.debian.org/experimental/python3-wicd might be a better idea even if it's from experimental.
Depends on if tauthon is added to devuan's repos which would mean it would exist in debian too.
Tauthon is the continuation of python2...
If its in debian's repos, it may not be a problem to use wicd.
That being said, dhcpcd-gtk is the better option if you have wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd working properly.
They are at least updated more than wicd/wicd-gtk.
PLEASE keep this thread focused on the possibility of running wicd in Chimaera. Does it work for you? What issues if any? Is it secure? Report your experiences here.
Yeah... my bad... I have not tried chimaera's wicd yet, last I tried was beowulf and it worked there.
That answer is non -responsive. This thread is about wicd in Chimaera not about using Debian repositories directly which btw is not a good idea but then you get to keep all the pieces.
Please keep on-topic going forward as being able to use wicd safely will be important to many upgrading to Chimaera.
Using debian repositories directly in devuan sounds... nutty to me.
But sometimes it works, some applications work fine that way, such as palemoon and wine... last I checked anyways.

My estimate is that it needs about one year of work...That's some great news right there.
Begs the question - let's say Bercot finishes the work in the next year, and s6 really does turn into the "ideal service manager". What then for Devuan? Start offering it as an alternative init? Making it the default init would seem the appropriate response if it does all that he claims it will.
And what will happen with Debian and any distros that thumb their nose at their users and continue to push a technology with increasingly inferior performance on them? At some point the wrath of the users will become palpable.
Full disclosure - I used s6 for a lengthy test run of a couple months, and yes what you heard is true - it's so fast it should be illegal.
Is it faster and more lightweight than Runit? That would be surprising if so!
Micronaut wrote:Every time I have asked about Trinity desktop in any Linux forum I see these claims that it is hugely insecure due to being such an old code base and no one with any sense would dare use it.
This is the same ignorant claim made against Pale Moon browser. As long as it's maintained with bug and security fixes, it's no more insecure than any other comparable app. (Unless there's something about TDE I don't know yet.)
Micronaut wrote:Second, is this claim of 'ancient code' remotely true? Just because they forked it from KDE 3.x doesn't mean they haven't fixed any bugs since then. That's the point of the fork, to get control of the code.
You answered your own question.
Agree with you wholeheartedly Ron,
that being said, some code that the palemoon devs use is newer, also, they deprecated jetpack at one point.
Which I fully agree with, due to the nature of its bloat.
I don't use palemoon btw, I use a fork of Basilisk Browser.
But yeah, they focus on stability and security, both bug fixes and security fixes on both their projects, Basilisk Browser and Palemoon.
On the subject of Trinity Desktop, KDE3 may be older, but imo, the newer KDE is way too much stimula for me, even KDE3 is a bit too much sometimes.
Although I think Trinity Desktop looks cool, for some reason, I have wanted to go for a more arcane since maybe more than half a year ago? I think?
I like using low amount of cpu for my WM or DE, thus I use JWM full time now, helps battery life.
But if I had to choose a DE on devuan, Trinity would be it.
My only reason not using any DE, they bloated, and in Trinity Desktop's case, it requires some crap... dbus for example...
Four of my laptops use Hyperbola now though. They are the ones I use most, and the newest, not counting that thinkpenguin one that is falling apart that I never use.
Hinge breaking, etc...
I have probably said way more than required, but yeah, I like my system to be as minimal as possible, within reason.
Stuff redhat tries to cram into GNU and Linux, is mostly not within reason, dbus, systemd, networkmanager, pulseaudio, pipewire, avahi, etc...
I use devuan much less than I used to, but its still interesting to see what people do here, thus I remain on here.
It's good you guys are around though, the more init freedom projects, the better!
take into account that all the post that said somethig hard but true.. is banned as "are you tyrolling" .. interesting from Devuan forum administrations..
the problem is not Debian .. the problem is the position of the Devuan conclave.. it must work aside with Debian cos it depends of debian ..
antix team is a good aproach.. +1 for.. but i guess is more an idea of anitx/mxlinux team rather an idea of devuan teams.. that's the point
CAN YOU GUYS CHANGE THEIR MIND, well i back to work.. i must talk with tdenetwork packagers.. i found some details in the php packages.. and i remade many of them fixed for Devuan
???
I must have missed something...
Although it would be awesome if devuan had enough devs to maintain devuan without needing to fork debian.
Not the reality yet though, but someday maybe!

No, soon as I got the motherboard and essentially rebuilt my PC, I made sure to turn secure boot off, and I checked just now and it's off
If that's the case, your image must be broken, I think...
I would try to reburn it such as this:
sudo dd if=~/folderwhereyourisois/your.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=8M; status=progress sync
if you don't see /dev/sdx, then make it whatever your usb is seen as,
which you check by using lsblk.
If you know this, I apologize, I just wanted to make sure I explained myself... its a habit.
Just curious, but how did you burn your devuan image before? I just wondered in general...
hope this helps!
Also, glad to see you knew to turn off that feature known as secure boot.

Did you check that your download/s was/were good?
(Personally, never had a problem with the 'live' image.)
Possibly, your graphics aren't supported, but rare these days.
Check all physical connections, etc.
Yeah, but keep in mind, intel and amd keep pushing more crap into their processors...
More binary blobs/proprietary requirements, etc...
That being said, I have never had problems installing devuan either unless I broke the image, aka it didn't burn properly, or broke the drive it was installed on...
Both of which has not happened in a very long time... since I started using dd for burning images to usbs.
lsblk, is a must for dd though...
Thus I say, caution is wise.

I did not know that.
It seems a good reason to stay with Pale Moon, LibreWolf does not follow the same path.
As always, YMMV.Best,
A.
I wouldn't say they don't use new code, 29.2 and onward got rid of legacy extensions, aka, ones supported by firefox esr52.9 and older.
XUL hasn't been deprecated to be clear, just the ones that worked on firefox before ESR60 and firefox 57+,
As for new code, the new code is, mostly code to fix the problems firefox developers refused to, such as telemetry, tracking, data collection, insecurities, stuff like that.
The last type of code, that is new, is the useragent stuff...
That's about all I think that is new code. But they do it differently then mozilla, so I imagine it is far more stable/secure.
Anywho, you can find out about many of these misconceptions on palemoon's forum:
https://forum.palemoon.org/viewforum.php?f=24
PS, I don't use palemoon, I use a fork of Basilisk Browser, known as Iceweasel-uxp.
Trinity Desktop looks nice, I only wish it didn't have dbus and other annoying dependencies...
Also, it is somewhat bloated, even like other DE's, even Lumina my favorite DE, is somewhat bloated aka.
this is debian related question..
ceres/sid has 5.10 in. so no luck with unstable repos atm...
only 3rd party repos currently offer 5.13 kernel packages for debian based distros (eg. https://xanmod.org/) or,
you can build a kernel debian package yourself from sources.. : https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/ke … tasks.htmldebian kernel probably can give more info : https://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel
I will add another one to the list for those who don't need non-free repos of any kind even optionally,
jxself.org/linux-libre
Note, I think the linux kernel is a monolith and am anticpating other options in the future, but for now, till the distro Hyperbola makes their BSD version, I recommend anyone who doesn't need binary blobs, etc...
to use linux-libre you need a system usually that doesn't even need binary blobs optionally, however if you do so, use an LTS kernel first, also, have multiple kernels if you want to be 99% sure.
This hasn't been a problem for me most times on devuan, but 2-4 out of maybe 200+ uses or more it has happened.
But it still happens...
For those saying debian/devuan don't have non-free stuff, I am very much speaking of hdcp and other issues like them,
But if you use a non-free wifi card, non-free sound blob or non-free graphics card, THEN DO NOT!
Just a friendly warning... if you need any of those three things, be warned! Linux Libre probably doesn't work with them.
To my earlier point btw, the linux kernel alone, has grown to 27 million lines of code, openbsd in its entirety has only less than 4 million, let that sink in...
Anywho, I just mentioned jxself.org's repo, because it has slightly more sane defaults regarding things debian deems free that FSF doesn't.
Although even the FSF, is flawed regarding init freedom... to each his own.

Funny you should mention that, as there's an example of the inevitable consequences of running such a large codebase as PID1 linked in that same Reg article.
Remember how us old-school *nix nerds said PID1 should be as simple as possible, since a crash there will bring the whole system down?
In some 20+ years I have never seen nor heard tell of an unprivileged process crashing sysv init, yet here we are again with systemd.
This one was at least patched quickly, but the core design fault isn't going away - on the contrary, systemd is getting fatter with every release and the potential attack surface just keeps on growing.
Maybe then at some point, they will actually learn their lesson if a bad enough crash happens...
Although, that would be pretty damn frightening, so I really hope they don't have to go that far down just to learn a simple lesson.

Best,

Did you try the Palemoon forum? I'll bet moonchild and Tobin would just LOVE to argue with you over whether their browser should support pirated flash videos.
Let me know when you have that argument with them, I'll bring the popcorn and be a spectator.
This is my only problem with them... ps, nobody pirates anything. Why do I say that? Because pirates sink ships, steal everything and very often murder the people onboard the ship.
Thus, "piracy" or "pirating" is massively inappropriate for saying that someone is getting something for free. Besides, as I said to them, the DRM built into most copyrighted non-free software, cannot even be modified, you don't even hardly own full access of the hardware/software you bought, and in some cases its even worse...
It's basically like you only have the right to use 30% of the capabilities and the rest is a blackbox.
aka, you are not allowed to modified your own bios without reverse engineering the hell out of stuff just to get it work.
You could call that jumping through a huge amount of random hoops.
Some even consider modifying copyright software and distributing a patch to the original software to be copyright infringement and thus "piracy"
I know most of you would probably agree o n the whole hardware issues I mention being completely and utter bull$hit.
That being said, I appreciate Moonchild and Tobin's work on the palemoon and basilisk browser, but they are dead wrong on this issue.
Also, the idea of blocking ads is even theft to a few people on those forums including Moonchild last I checked...
Thus he is misguided on some issues. I wish him well, but I won't agree on those two issues, aka copyright and its powers and of course advertisements...
If blocking ads = theft, privacy will start to erode even more.
And if copyright infringement includes modifying software your computer or hardware, privacy will also die even more rapidly.
If both happen, kiss privacy completely goodbye.
Yeah, sorry for the long winded reply, but these issues kind of freak me out.
No one needs to own a blackbox computer,
the way it should work is this:
Corporations, government = being spied on the low class and middle class not spied on!
The opposite though happens more often than not. It's bs really...

Which is to say, they want to be able to spy on people.
