Thank heavens for image blockers! Hope no one with epilepsy comes to this post . . .

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked my Refracta Chimaera install and no zeitgeist package is installed.

Oh joy . . . this on IRC . . .

-Unit193/Wallops- We'd like to give a hearty congratulations to the Xfce team on their 4.18 release after two years of solid work.  To read about what's new, see: https://xfce.org/about/news/?post=1671062400

I haven't looked yet but likely will be "interesting" reading. So please add that info into this discussion

#1005 Re: Devuan » Brave New Trusted Boot World » 2022-12-15 16:50:03

All options will be on the table for discussion if we decide to go there.

Perhaps it's time for a task-icewm-desktop or task-jwm-desktop package? who knows.

This has been on my mind for some time and discussed off and on. Xfce has been a wonderful ride but then Gnome2 was also. Things are constantly changing and rarely for the better. Always more complexity, more bloat and more restrictions.

But, i know this: If we have managed to make it this far, I KNOW we can figure it out, I have faith in our team. We can do this!

Happy to have you here.  smile

#1007 Re: Forum Feedback » MESSAGING issue » 2022-12-10 23:25:49

We support IRC channels on Libera which are the closest thing Devuan has to social media. Dyne does have a Devuan Twitter account but Devuan is not directly involved with it.  I think there is a Reddit account but again, Devuan has nothing to do with it.  In all the years I've been moderating this board, I don't think I've ever seen any of the "messaging" options populated by a Devuan user. Neither are social media channels mentioned often (if at all) on any of our platforms. Draw your own conclusions . . .

#1008 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] How to get hardware info » 2022-12-10 04:23:03

I am just a simple user. Install hardinfo and everything should be listed. Or I may be totally off the mark. I am still wired and everything just works so have never had to deal with your predicament. If so, apologies for the noise . . .

Hi dp . . .

The source for the devuan installer is here. It is a real rat's nest!

#1010 Re: Forum Feedback » why close my topic!? » 2022-12-08 22:13:17

@deepforest . . . this is a technical help forum not an opinion forum.  No one is interested in your whining when you shoot yourself in the foot.

#1011 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » linux is ONE BIG TROUBLE » 2022-12-08 21:15:41

As sgage noted, you have plenty of other choices . Feel free to stop whining and move on . . .

#1012 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » linux is ONE BIG TROUBLE » 2022-12-08 20:30:21

Any tool is only as useful as the user controlling it. I think you are pointing the finger in the wrong direction. Take responsibility!!!

@Devarch . . . Please continue formatting your post above with "code" tags as I have started. Thanks!

#1015 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » I am tired from Ceres glitches » 2022-12-03 21:44:09

Why not just start from scratch with a fresh install?

#1016 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » I am tired from Ceres glitches » 2022-12-03 20:56:22

Why are you beating yourself in the head with hammer by using an unstable release? If you want things to "just work", use the current stable release, Chimaera.

Ha! I almost missed this as I rarely look at this or the music thread because I do so little of either, I don't have much to say . . .

Humans think and rationalize too much. When you look through the wrong end of a telescope things get distorted so it's no surprise we are in the mess we are in . . . and have always been in. It is a mental disease that binds us to suffering. The solution is not "out there" in science or opinion but in looking inward to unravel the fantasy we create out of bare sensory experience.

Human stupidity knows no bounds and I guarantee there is little solution in talking these days.

Where does one go to learn how to post things such as a log into a scroll-able window into the forum. Thank you.

Hi dp!

On the "Post a reply" page there is a line of BB code functions about an inch above the input box.

First one "u" is to underline.

Towards the end look for "code"

to enclose scrollable code

Hilight the text you want to tag and then click on the desired function and viola!

Personally I don't have any moral dilemmas when it comes to screwing Bethesda out of a couple of bucks for a 25 year old game they had nothing to do with making in the first place.

You missed the punch line that is the root of all such actions . . . the "wanting" is the problem. Everything that stems from that impulse is "tainted". With out that "wanting" no rationalizations are needed. smile

#1022 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » cant extract ccd and nrg images » 2022-11-24 16:29:17

@deepforest . . . It's not about money. It's about principle. There is no excuse for theft, ever. The "wanting" is the problem that is the root of much suffering. Learn to let it go and be happy . . .

The sad thing is that GNOME is actually available:

Devuan go wrong way?

The wrong way would be to tell the user what DE/WM they can or cannot use. We offer options and the user makes the choice.
