Maybe replacing Slim (deprecated) by LightDM helps?

AFAIK Slim is still alive and well and installed with the default Xfce desktop but it does lack some features that are provided LightDM.

@amaro . . . This is news? This has always been the way with humans or chatbots created in the image of their creators. Totally predictable and unsurprising . . .

because the search function

Well you made me curious, so I searched for d_e_a_dalus in this forum, and guess what came out:

LOL! /me wipes egg from face . . . I was thinking earlier today that I need to run that search and correct all of them.

My actual point is, I too like the sapphire theme very much, it almost feels like deepsea was a sort of preamble, a necessary path that unfolded into sapphire. I now need to get that Gnuinos Daedalus preview back into testing, I just noticed the 2023.06.21 images.

Indeed they are paired and even share some of the same artwork. It is a good way to end my run at theming Devuan. If it weren't for the fact that I can barely deal with a computer these days, I would give Gnuinos a spin myself . . .

Oh, aitor . . . very sweet of you to say that . . .

#808 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2023-06-24 00:38:37

@oui . . . Again it is DAEDALUS not DEADALUS. Please edit your post above to correct. It makes it hard for users to find your feedback because the search function won't be able to find it because it is misspelled. Thank you.

#809 Re: Devuan Derivatives » gnuinos new ISO files in https://www.gnuinos.org/mirror/daedalus/live » 2023-06-23 21:34:29

@oui . . . Our next release is Daedalus not Deadalus. I have corrected it in both your posts. smile

The only real answer would have been "no, it's not going to work", not a Debian package in a Devuan system . . .

I might be misunderstanding something in your comments but want to clarify that Devuan is 99% pure Debian pulling directly from Debian repos with the exception of blacklisted packages. Devuan only forks a few hundered packages. The magic of putting everything together is done with Amprolla.

As to mixing releases . . . yes that is a no-no.

#812 Re: Installation » post install: cdrom error - .iso image as a primary apt source » 2023-06-15 17:48:44

Echo . . . yes, that sources.list is a mess. Please have a look at this page:

It is always easier to complain than to roll up sleeves to help make it happen sooner, isn't it . . . roll

More like your interpretation of incoming data which humans tend to distort with their emotional prejudices. That is what makes us human and it is a fatal design flaw!

Might not be a terrible idea to implement something similar for the Devuan bugtracker.

No . . . bad idea. The Devuan bug tracker is for bugs in packages that Devuan provides. I know you know this so why muddy the waters . . . ;D

FYI . . . I rarely mess with anyone's posts because it is my hope that by leaving useless nonsense visible, the perpetrator(s) will eventually be so mortified that they will change their behavior. However . . . as this thread proves, it doesn't seem to work . . .

Delighted that you solved your font issue! Apologies if I seemed a little grumpy earlier. smile

#820 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] TTF True Type Fonts » 2023-05-19 19:56:31

That is pretty unreadable without block or inline code tags . . .

FYI . . . Google will start deleting accounts that have been inactive for at least two years as part of a new security plan, the company announced Tuesday . . .

I have a few of those because who wants google much in their life. It seemed like a good idea at the time . . .

Probably better to have an online get together, more people could afford to attend such a meeting - Zoom is a popular program for doing that.

The last conference was live streamed and there was a chat associated with it . . . but those folks missed the human experience of camaraderie which is what made the experience so special.  wink

That being said . . . you can't step into the same stream twice . . .

#823 Re: Intergalactic Communities » Interest probing: Devuan Conference » 2023-05-15 20:41:12

I wonder how many attendees would incur travel/accommodation costs for a  one day event . . .

So the first questions might be  "Who is our target audience?" and "What do we want to accomplish?" besides kumbaya. Would it be a "speaker/audience" or "hands on to learn how to do this for Devuan" focus or a bit of both.

There are many ways it could be structured depending on what users prefer so please let us know what would entice YOU to come to a Devuan Conference.

I guarantee you AI will learn how to lie because it imitates its creators . . .

@chris2be8 . . . Thanks for the great description. Found it . . . I think . . .
