I have gkrellm installed from the Devuan repos so why does it need to be added to this repo?

I'm pretty sure that a few people in this very forum still do. And I'm one of those smile

Indeed . . . devuan.org was crafted from scratch by hellekin. It has gone through some changes but that code is mostly still in use and I always created my sites in a text editor too.

[edit] There was a time when exploring the creative possibilities of html and css was a "thing":

http://www.csszengarden.com/

The only rule is:

"You may modify the style sheet in any way you wish, but not the HTML."

Do take a tour through their gallery . . . though it seems a bit broken atm . . .

[edit2] Another interesting option to add to a site created in a text editor is  Flat Press which use to be an no-database version of wordpress. Have no idea where it's gone since I last used it.

Sorry for the OT, folks . . .

Do you know about Project Gemini? Produces sane web pages . . .

#905 Re: DIY » sudo and slim » 2023-02-17 01:20:44

Or possibly a "recommends" thing?

#906 Re: DIY » sudo and slim » 2023-02-16 23:27:09

Just an FYI . . . SLiM is in the process of an upgrade. Discussion starts here.

#907 Re: ARM Builds » [SOLVED] Have been arm images dimissed? » 2023-02-14 18:03:05

Arm images are provided by the Devuan Arm community. They are not and never have been "officially" supported by Devuan.

#908 Re: News & Announcements » Non GNU Linux Chimera » 2023-02-14 00:19:21

Well, before long Chimaera will be old stable then fade into history so it probably won't affect us that much. Some folks searching on the other spelling could even end up here which isn't a bad thing . . . smile

There is 358 views on this thread, how many of the readers have any clue of what is this all about? Such personal conflicts really do not belong here.

I totally agree that what has unfolded recently is completely inappropriate but we have no control over who walks through the door . . ..

There's another open source project born out of a need to fight a common cause where the participants are infighting and making themselves look stupid.

blackhole is an outside agitator/abuser with no ties to the Devuan project who has had a personal vendetta against me personally for a very long time. The choice is letting him spout his nonsense or having him accuse this forum and me specifically of censorship and who knows what else.

Your feedback is appreciated and I sincerely apologize. I think that this is a good thought on which to close this thread. smile

By the site admin's own admission: you get special treatment.  This shows that they practice selectiveness and favouritism, which is no better than any other sites that they have criticed heavily in the past.

You have never understood my thinking or motivations so unsurprisingly hadn't a clue this time. Have you never heard the expression to "give someone enough rope to hang themselves"? You both have done that rather spectacularly! In fact I was planning to post this morning something like . . . "Have y'all embarrassed yourself enough yet? Is it time to put this thread out of its misery?" Mutual ego stroking was the solution which just perpetuates the delusion . . .

But as golinux has said, I actually contribute nothing here and actually have no right to complain about how the site is administered. I can accept that and it's why I am voting with my feet."

Good grief! What a drama queen!  Exit left or stick around. The choice is yours. The injured party here is not your ego but the free software community who has suffered your hissy fits.

Also note - it has not been closed. Consider that if I had made this thread, the admin would have intervened to get the last word and closed by now.

Actions or non-actions have purpose though in this case I think the point has fallen on deaf ears . . .

Just curious . . . Have you called Lenovo customer support?

Thanks for the report and marking this as solved.

Modern man lacks communication.

There is a lot of noise but little communication.

We do not delete accounts. If you no longer wish to participate that is your choice. If you want to make sure that you won't ever be able to again if temptation arises, just scramble your password.

Thank you for so clearly revealing the bias for all to see.

Ralph yes I'll strive for the three Ps, while your lunatic fringe, right wing crony gets free reign ...

At Devuan we value contributions to a common cause of which zero has come from you. The dev1galaxy.org (almost) No Code of Conduct states:

4. We accept everyone's contributions, we don't care if you're liberal or conservative, black or white, straight or gay, or anything in between! In fact, we won't bring it up or ask (nor should you).

All views are deluded and we will live in disharmony and conflict until we can move beyond them. Gandhi got it right. Stupid humans attached to their views never will. That is the source of all suffering in the world . . .

#917 Re: Off-topic » Idle chatter nonsense » 2023-02-06 22:20:26

@blackhole . . .

MiyoLinux is responsible for one of Devuan's most popular derivatives. If you knew anything at all about Devuan you would know that . . .

https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=9
https://sourceforge.net/projects/miyolinux/

IOW MiyoLinux might be going through something so acting out but on his worst day he has more value to Devuan than the paltry commentaries made by an occasional visitor. So yeah . . . I cut him some slack . . .

Doesn't unity look similar to Gnome 3?

I have no idea what gnome looks like. I abandoned that ship with the arrival of gnome3. The desktop image provided on the link has all the subtlety of Fisher-Price on steroids and caters to the ADD generation. I don't know how anyone could do serious work in that environment. Gives me a headache . . .

Devuan is not soliciting additional desktops and I am not sure it would even be offcially included unless it gets passed down to us from Debian.

#919 Re: Off-topic » What are you reading/want to read ? » 2023-02-04 18:43:16

@HoaS . . . Maybe give this one a spin. There is a red "Free Download" button. All the contributors are/were known to me and I even got a mention at the end of the Preface for my contribution . . .

#920 Re: Off-topic » Idle chatter nonsense » 2023-02-04 04:14:31

Please stop this nonsense, it has totally derailed this topic.

/me is getting an itchy delete finger . . .

#922 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Unity desktop environment » 2023-02-01 17:36:14

You are free to port Unity to Devuan and offer it to the community.

In addition . . . minimalism rules here. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to subscribing to threads. That is left to the user.

@MiyoLinux . . . There was some shuffling of infra to rebalance the load recently and sometimes things just go pear-shaped.  big_smile

Sapphire theme is done smile I don't know if Devuan has a particular emphasis on LXQt or not, but hopefully people get some use and enjoyment out of these.

Quite a few Devuan users have LXDE or LXQt installed so your themes will definitely be appreciated. Maybe you'd want to open an account on our git and add them there?

Azuma Hazuki wrote:

I really like both Devuan and LXQt as projects, but due to complete lack of coding skill this is the only way I can contribute anything...

Ditto. big_smile I am pretty good at playing with colors, editing/writing and keeping track of Devuan's history etc. I also took care of the websites for many releases but have now passed that task on to someone else.  I will do the wallpaper for Excalibur but no more theming beyond that. Perhaps you'd want to take some of that on for XFCE? Please contact me on irc or by email if you have an interest in that.
