#101 Re: Packaging for Devuan » gnome-hearts is gone in Daedalus? » 2025-01-17 22:50:29
From https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gnome-hearts:
This package is not part of any Debian distribution. Thus you won't find much information here. The package is either very new and hasn't appeared on mirrors yet, or it's an old package that eventually got removed.
#102 Re: Freedom Hacks » the right procedure ? » 2024-12-25 16:52:58
I'd suggest reading this: https://easylinuxtipsproject.blogspot.c … urity.html
It's just as applicable to Devuan (and any other Linux distro).
#103 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Just reinstalled - can't connect to repos » 2024-11-29 20:36:39
Been some issues with dev.devuan.org for a while now, couple of other threads on here about it.
Yeah, in my haste I forgot. What threw me was having the problem immediately after a reinstall (which never happened to me before). Followed certain advice and got connected to the repos and updated. Thanks everyone.

I just reinstalled the OS (crowz), and I can't connect to the repos to update the system. Does anybody know if the repos are down? I never had this problem before when reinstalling. Thanks.
#105 Re: Other Issues » Clearing the DNS cache » 2024-11-25 22:04:12
I don't have an rc.d folder in /etc. I have a rc0.d, rc1.d, rc2.d, rc3.d, rc4.d, rc5.d, rc6.d, and a rcS.d folder. But according to a post in another forum, Devuan doesn't cache DNS. Is that true?
#106 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Where are repository data files stored? » 2024-11-18 22:55:40
In Devuan, like all Debian-based distro's, you add a repository to the /etc/apt/sources file.
Some .deb installers, Vivaldi for an example, automatically adds its repository during the installation.

So I wanted to clear my DNS cache and did a search for how to do it. So I found to run either:
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart or sudo service networking restart (from here). When I ran them (I ran both) I got a message that it was deprecated. The exact message on both was:
Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not re-enable some interfaces ... (warning).
Reconfiguring network interfaces...done.So I have two questions: 1) Did one, or both, of these commands work or not? 2) Is there a better way to clear the DNS cache?
#108 Re: Off-topic » A Libreoffice Writer ODT that Crashes the Devuan Desktop » 2024-11-05 21:13:31
I seem to recall that when I had funky files like this in Windows, what I would do was open it up, then do a copy/paste, and paste it into a new document and save. Then discard the original. Not sure it would work for your problem or not, or if you would even have time to do it before it freezes.
#109 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Pluma bug and proposed fix: Where do I report, and what happens next? » 2024-11-03 22:52:19
The place to report it would be somewhere here: https://github.com/mate-desktop/pluma/issues
However, I noticed that the current version is 1.26.3, but the version that is in Devuan 5's repos is 1.26.0, so it may be already fixed (??). But I didn't see this particular bug mentioned anywhere on the linked page.
#110 Re: Packaging for Devuan » about debian, a warning » 2024-11-01 21:54:15
@Ron: is this summary something you can get?
The post by Rob Landley sums it up very nicely. So it seems like this change is no big deal.
#111 Re: Packaging for Devuan » about debian, a warning » 2024-10-30 20:13:26
So I read/skimmed through the links, which really didn't tell me anything. Can somebody in layman's terms explain to me why usrmerge is bad?

Can't see or just don't want to see?
Get off your high-horse. Mr. Torvalds was forced to do it. End of story. Unless you want him to go to prison or pay a hefty fine or whatever.

I don't see any politically charged diatribe, just facts. And I'm about as unbiased as they come.
#114 Re: Packaging for Devuan » yt-dlp is very outdated » 2024-10-18 15:43:07
It is so outdate that isn't even working anymore
It always is and always will be. This is how I keep it up-to-date when a new version is released:
sudo wget https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -O /usr/local/bin/yt-dlpsudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlpI check for new versions here: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp
If you go this route, you must totally remove the repo version first or it will get messed up, I believe.
#115 Re: Devuan » Why has no one enhanced sysvinit? » 2024-10-05 02:04:32
A new chapter in SysVinit's history began when Jesse Smith (DistroWatch administrator) took over its maintenance in 2022. There have been several new releases of SysVinit since then, including two releases this year. With each release there are additional enhancements (e.g., minor bug fixes).
I never knew this. I was under the assumption that there had been no new development on sysvinit in years.

Cups update came today.
#117 Re: Off-topic » Question about Debian issuing patches » 2024-09-28 15:44:26
Thanks for that. I guess it shouldn't be too much longer. (?)

#120 Re: Installation » Trouble in paradise » 2024-09-21 18:44:00
I didn't get any updates this morning. How long has it been since you've updated? Can you go to history in synaptic and post what updates you installed today?

It's not just a problem here, I see it on all other forums I frequent. Chalk it up to the average person isn't very bright.

I would suggest reading the link below. Although it is written from a Mint/Ubuntu point of view, over 95% of it is applicable to any distro.

I got the same thing yesterday (Thursday). Just tried it again now (Fri early morning) and it updated. So yeah, sometimes this happens and you have to wait a couple of hours.
