#1151 Re: Installation » [solved] upgrade the installation to ceres or daedalus » 2022-06-30 20:24:25
new installation would be better in any case...
. . . in that case keep daedalus or replace repos with "testing", to have a rolling release . . .
It is not a good idea to use "stable" or "testing" etc. Why? because Debian and Devuan releases are sometimes not in sync.
This from https://www.devuan.org/os/packages:
Devuan recommends using the codename (beowulf, chimaera, daedalus, ceres) rather than the suite (oldstable, stable, testing, unstable) in /etc/apt/sources.list entries. Please go to Devuan Release Information for a detailed explanation.

@HoaS
I have been sharing those links for many years but never with a pulpit like Linux Pro Magazine. I was uncertain how they would be handled and I was pleasantly surprised! Yeah, the subject is still relevant!! Duh . . . The graphic was perfect too! I would post a link on FDN but that surely would get me banned. LOL!

@Tritonio and alexkemp
Answering for fsmithred who is away until next week. He knows about this. It is iitc a regression in the live installer. So just hang tight for a few days . . .

Thank you very much for the PDF golinux!
Even HP is influenced by Devuan :
https://hpdevone.com/
We are well aware of this. Devuan actually owns the dev-one.org and dev-1.org domains! We are mulling over possible options to get HP's attention. It would be great fun! 
Any ideas? Please do share!!

Shortly after Debian was forked, in early 2015 Linux Pro Magazine published an article about Devuan titled Shiny New Fork. The first paragraph always makes me smile:
The world is left to wonder if the recent news of a Debian fork is an important event or a minor historical footnote. Either way, it seems like a good story, reminiscent of the Linux stories of the past, when the community really looked and behaved like a collection of individuals rather than a corporate fan club.
Earlier this month in Issue 260/2022, Devuan was revisited in a Distro Walk article by Bruce Byfield titled DEVUAN: The fight for Init Freedom.
Although Devuan might be a niche distribution, clearly it is a thriving one.
Yeah, Devuan is special . . .
We have just received a complimentary PDF to share with all of you.
UPDATE: Devuan just received a little surprise from Linux Pro Magazine after this thread was posted! A PDF of Shiny New Fork!
Enjoy!

Indeed ...
The good thing is that, from today onwards, days will be gradually getting longer
@Altoid . . . Not on planet earth. Yesterday, was the longest day of 2022. Or maybe I'm missing something . . .
[edit]Hahahaha . . . the joke is on me! What I was missing was food to wake up my brain from its stupor! Your point once again proves that everything is relative.[/edit]
It seems to me that few people reflect on the fact that we know that light is what it is because of the existence of darkness.
Works the other way around, obviously.In any case, it's all about the balance of the cosmos.
[edit] Point well taken. Thank you![/edit]

fsmithred's refractasnapshot and refractainstaller are in the repos. Those scripts are used to create and install the Devuan live isos and a number of the Devuan derivatives.

#1163 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] devuan icon question » 2022-06-20 03:16:22
I know this is already marked solved, but I just thought I'd add my $0.02. This is the one I use for my menu:
For those who might be interested in the evolution of the Devuan logo and swoosh, here are the discussions mostly between hellekin and yours truly when we were creating the icon and logo in early 2015:
The idea starts here:

And finishes here:
https://www.devuan.org/gitlab-issues/de … ct.20.html
Thankfully, those germinal conversations were rescued from our old gitlab when we moved to gitea.

devulcan.svg rocks btw
That was the grub splash for the first Devuan "Valentine" release in February 2015 just after Leonard Nimoy had died.
#1165 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] devuan icon question » 2022-06-19 18:38:22
I just throw everything in git that I need to prepare the graphics for the themes. Some of them are not used in the actual theming.
