Do you have a very fast machine? Perhaps your gaps are very small but I assure you, they are there!

x101 are great. I have one in the corner busy compressing my 4GB  eee pc backup images. Going to try installing efi devuan on it. Actually, I have two :3

Does it include a patch package to undo the horrible change in su behaviour introduced in the 3.0 release?

Edit, i found another solution, this worked with basilisk-browser, just run it this way:

if you using a tarball, try, firejail  ./basilisk-bin

firejail  /home/youruser/basilisk/basilisk-bin

change it however you like to the location of your web browser directory.

In your case, it would be

firejail palemoon-bin

Not working for palemoon tarball.

it wants me to create a profile but when i do this appears. Im using the GTK3 tarball, perhaps i should try the GTK2 version.

Profile couldn’t be created. Probably the chosen folder isn’t writable.
[Exception...

anyhow this is getting truly off topic for this thread. If the mods could be kind enough to split this off in their spare time. Maybe title it firejailing palemoon web browser.

Hello:

I'm having more problems with video feeds in Pale Moon 29.0.1 (64-bit).

Trying to see this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/?noredir … 2880468724

...  I get this:

We’re sorry. Your browser does not support live video streaming.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

To start the image after install do:

Why are you running QEMU with sudo? That's not a good idea — security for virtualised systems isn't the best and elevating the privileges will only make the situation worse.

Haiku is pretty good but lacks GPU acceleration yet, they tried with a GSOC program to get closer but the student missed the goal... It looks like also the guy behind the Haiku kernel has been employed by Gugl to work over the Phucsia kernel...

You would better off letting basilisk/palemoon have there own directories imo instead of the Download folder.

Palemoon has a nice guide where you can softlink icons, .desktop files and binaries in the correct areas.

Basilisk might be different though, i believe palemoon is a derivative of basilisk ?

Okay, now I am curious of your sources... can you show me evidence of such? I thought ELTS costs money for all people.

To be on topic, and probably to repeat earlier stuff which I'm not bothering to read: A lot of packages drop files into systemd locations. It doesn't harm a system to have /usr/lib/systemd/system/$FOOBAR.service as a file. It just doesn't help either.

If you would like to contribute to how Devuan operates, we meet weekly. You can read the announcement for how to attend the meetings: https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 7c.en.html.

network-mananger still cause some problems.. and now i found systemd files present in some non managed devuan packages..

i search at the search tool site of devuan and we can found several systemd files present in the system:

https://pkginfo.devuan.org/xsl-bin/pack … n=0.69.0-2

it seems that debhelper 11+ integrates dh_systemd, devuan developers need to manage the buils of this and remove that code.. most easy way is an auto_dh_systemd empty section in debian/rules of rebuild debian merged packages..

there also other amprolla merged ones that are not managed by devuan such as the famous courier-imad so widelly used:

i search at the search tool site of devuan and we can found several systemd files present in the system:

https://pkginfo.devuan.org/xsl-bin/pack … .6+1.0.6-1  it put a /lib/systemd/system/courier-imap.service file and also trigger into postinstall file..

security updates need also be tracked i noted the delayed way of devuan respect the souorce of the packages (debian)

Security updates are sometimes late in devuan because amprolla gets confused when it sometimes gets a 404 on a debian repo. When this happens, it's usually discovered and fixed within a few days. You've probably seen the discussions on this forum about it.

There are people working on this, and based on something I was told a few days ago, it might already be fixed.

Thanks, that's a good response.. i noted the problem as i said.. and some time ago there was a project to do the same at the Devuan side! what happened with that? was dissapear and i cannot found any hint about

About amprolla i talked about the disavantages in old days but (cos erasing are the rule) i lost the info in devuan sites.. I proposed an idea similar to Debian mentors, but morte with a build site like OBS, i.e. something like PPA for winbuntu, due Devuan limitations on resources and manpowers, the most cheap way is request support of Devuan images in OBS (Opensuse Build Service).

finally at last, talking about support and info, in web page they changed the color scheme of the web page, now there is a decent contrast, but the information is too general, I searched a lot how many years of support has each release and it is not there, this is because each release changes respect of the software included and this influences the supported one

We've been headed there for a very long time.  It started in 2014 with the GR vote on init diversity that inspired the creation of Devuan.  This excellent post-mortem by dasein analyzes all the gory details.  A must read if you want to understand how we have gotten to where we are:
