Just corp.'s taking over opensource (which they have been slowly creeping into the last 15 years or so). Once a company is traded on the stock market anyone can purchase it, same will happen the day (or after) Canonical goes public. Look how many times SUSE has been kicked around like a can.

#102 Re: Other Issues » snapd on Devuan Ascii? » 2018-10-28 20:25:17
Ivdave, very simple indeed. snapd will not function without systemd, so if you are tied to the hip of snapd then systemd is your new obnoxious neighbor (red headed step child etc...).
As you stated, its an easier method for you, there are other methods. What is the program anyway?
#103 Re: News & Announcements » Debian Buster release to partially drop non-systemd support » 2018-10-18 20:24:21
Was just a matter of time.
What about using the init packages from Slackware? They have absolutely no plans on using systemd.

Or going default openRC.

#104 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [Solved] Cinnamon or Gnome 3 with Devuan ASCII with apt-pinning » 2018-09-23 14:47:36
OpenRC version is very old - 0.23.x in ASCII . Latest version available in Devuan is that of Debian - 0.34-3. OpenRC latest is 0.38.x
So, If I manually install OpenRC 0.34-3, librc1 from Beowulf, will it be OK? Is there a way, I can manually download openRC from Beowulf repositories without adding beowulf to sources.list? Is the packages originates from Debian Buster?
What feature is in .34-3 that is not in .23? In other words, why do you "need" the newer version?

Did you choose openRC during the installation or converted to it?
Initially installed sysv, changed to openRC after install. It's a drop in replacement, just copy/paste what apt tells you to at the end, so that it fully stops/shuts down the old scripts and starts openRC.

thinkpenguin does a decent job with this. Would be great if they offered Devuan as an install option, or a Devuan edition desktop/laptop etc...

I was under the impression that Mint was pro systemd or at least switched to it because of Debian/Ubuntu.

Going to look this over and get to work on it.
#123 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Periodic crashing (in Window Maker?) on Ascii » 2018-08-12 00:33:04
Repos for ASCII should resemble this:
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii main
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-updates main
deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged ascii-security main
I recall in the forum that there was a problem with pkgmaster and ASCII. You could change the repos (remember to use your country code, ie: http://us.deb.devuan....) then:
apt update && apt -f installRef: https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/Release_notes.txt
#124 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Periodic crashing (in Window Maker?) on Ascii » 2018-08-11 23:12:05
