i had installed plymouth in devuan with openrc and works fine
. i dont know the "solar" theme, have the debian logo instead devuan.
Plymouth Bootsplash - solar theme:
The Devuans Develop, don't have a Post,in where the users can discuss which software should came by default, after installation, software like :
* network-applet-gnome
* synaptic
* gksu
* medit
* viewnior
* xarchiver + unzip + unrar-free
* firefox esr or midori, links2 for CLI
* catfish
* hexchat
* qpdfview
* pasystray
* smplayer and/or vlc
* gimp
* inkscape
* xfce4-clipman
* xfce4-screenshooter
Libraries like :
* libsane
* sdl1.2, sdl2
and the users vote for which alternatives is considerated better, for put in the next iso of devuan stable.
i notice after make usb booteable with rufus in fat32. the "firmware" folder, just have simbolic links, in the usb stick, i copy the real files to the path, and after i had installed again. i that solve my problems with network connection during the instalation.
after installation, i dont have internet, but that is another thing. xD i solve that, making the same installation on my main pc with Slackware, inside a Virtual Machine, with virtualbox. after i copy the downloaded files to usb, and connect to the netbook, and installed the packages i had downloaded. for solve that.
I'll answer a few of these.
2. after install, the system don't have installed "Network Manager applet" in "Xfce".

i say on the netbook i dont have way to connect to internet [i can't install or download anything with default installation of devuan]. and because of that i must use virtualbox on my main pc, to download the packages, copy the packages to usb, and install in the netbook with dpkg
5. if is possible for the next iso, please add by default plymouth for boot process
We will never have Plymouth because it relies on systemd and therefore is on the banned package list.
Thanks for the list of Banned Packages. and
why not plymouth exist before the systemd take it like standard, on distros with sysvinit or another init,
i don't belive the programmers/developers can't adapt or rewrite it,
for example an older version without systemd, between years 2008 ~ 2016, for make an adapted version to OpenRC or well use the old alternatives like usplash or splashy, just adapted for openrc
Hi there, a few hours ago, i use my parent pc (with windows) and i use the "Installer ISO CD, 64 Bits" to put the installer on USB Stick. well i notice for example all things in the "firmware" folder on the root of structure, just are simbolic links,
1. i don't know why just simple dont copy the files, and copie the folder called "jessie" with the name "stable" instead a simbolic link. this is when the users put the installation on a USB Stick, by default Rufus prefer FAT32, just is because have major compatibility. and the full iso don't reach the 700MB with the files copied instead of simbolic links.
2. after install, the system don't have installed "Network Manager applet" in "Xfce". i dont understand why the default /etc/apt/sources.list is not with "deb{-src} http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged/ jessie{-security,-updates} main contrib non-free"
my /etc/apt/sources.list is customize, and with spanish words (because i am from venezuela)

3. why the follow packages don't came with the installation of system ?
synaptic gksu libgksu2-dev network-manager-gnome xfce4-terminal libvte-common libvte9
i had installed Devuan on a Netbook. and for complete the installation base for have a working wifi. i must use my main pc with Slackware 14.2 + VirtualBox, and install inside virtualbox the packages i need, for copy files to the USB Stick. and copy the package files to netbook and install with dpkg
and this for me its very senseless workaround just for have network access + synaptic packages manager + gksu for have grafical superuser permissions, first asking the password, and the xfce4-terminal, because xterm is fine, but for the desktop is better xfce4-terminal, or qterminal if you want better bpp colours support.
4. the grub should say "Devuan" instead "Debian", and for the next iso, please put a background image. just must be 256 colours (8 Bits), not indexed. and any resolution supported by the pc, but for the next iso, use the same image in various resolutions. i really wish grub background add support for "svg" image, for use just one adaptable to any resolution
5. if is possible for the next iso, please add by default plymouth for boot process
6. in the official repositories, you don't have yet "VirtualBox", "cdemu" (cdemu-client, cdemu-daemon, gcdemu, libvhba, libmirage), mugshot, dockbarx, trinity desktop environtment ?
Hi there i had just a few simple dunnos with Devuan
1 - Why when Devuan is installed the grub don't have background image and show "Debian" instead "Devuan" by default ?
2 - Devuan in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg, the kernel line, use by default root=UUID=<DEVICE_ID> or like Slackware root=/dev/sd<Letter><Number>
3 - Its simple, install and activate Plymouth + Theme ?
4 - i can install and use : mugshot, DockBarX, menulibre, without too much troubles ?
5 - Why the "Installer ISO" image 64 Bits don't include non-free intel wireless firmware ?
I am migrating to Devuan From Slackware64 14.2 because the point from 2 to 4 its too much dificult
If i put in the Slackware grub configuration boot file
root=UUID=<Device_ID>, its imposible to boot because. during boot the i reciebe the follow message
[end Kernel panic - VFS: Unable to mount root fs unknown-block(0,0)
thing i can't understand because i just changing root=/dev/sda3 to root=UUID=1c07b419-4a08-4326-b4c4-fd9ac9cce46e
and by that i can't boot my Slackware64 14.2 for me that don't have any sense.
or if someone knows a distro like LinuxMint but without systemd. for my netbook client can be much better for migrate to GNU/Linux
Thanks for any help can you gave me
Hi there, i am from venezuela. i had installed "Devuan" from "CD Installer ISO" because the "Desktop Live" don't work with "Canamita MG101A3" (Netbook)
During the installation process, show me a dialog box with the warning of non-free components for WiFi.
iwlwifi-105-6.ucode iwlwifi-105-5.ucode
i search it, and i found in the "Debian" Packages sites Here. but for Devuan i don't find the same package.
Right now this netbook knows like "Canamita" Model : MG101A3. had Devuan installed, but can't access internet because i dont have lan cables, or wifi. i can't install more things without internet
I don't know if capable to access internet in xfce4 i don't see the "network-manager-applet" active (i hope don't be during the installation i don't have way to access internet, and by that dont install the applet because i choose "Configure later")
