I just download the .deb and dpkg it manually, works fine, no need for updater or any hoo-ha.

FYI newest PM (27.6.2) requires newer version of  libdbus-1-3 than what's in devuan jessie, but I have successfully used the dbus packages from ascii in my jessie installs and they are working fine as is PM.

Hi Tom, when using jessie (current stable) you will get occasional kernel upgrades within the same family (3.16 LTS).  If installing through Synaptic you can just mark it as a regular upgrade, it will install the new kernel (removing the old one) and will run update-grub (at least it did last time I checked). In other words it works the same as other upgradeable packages within the same major version (i.e. jessie/Devuan 1.0).

I have done quite a few in the last year and they all went very smoothly, no issues at all.

I don't use apt-get, but looks like it should work the same unless there are changing dependencies with new version (can't see that happening with the kernel but possible I guess)? In which case you might need to use apt-get dist-upgrade.

Not in Devuan jessie either the last time I checked, maybe it's in ascii?

So, no libpulse0? That's the only thing I have on my system, VLC dragged it in (but doesn't really need it) so I deleted most of it, lol.

Ah-ha!!

Looks like somebody built it to run just alsa.

It is disappointing, the Mate power manager is even worse. 

You got all that to work on voidlinux? Maybe doublecheck packagelists and see if there's something extra that's helping it work right in the other distro? Version used in voidlinux?

Almost done with 1.0.6 (Openbox versions), should be uploading fresh iso's tomorrow.

I really should update Mate versions, I see folks are still downloading them, and the maxi is still at 1.0.3 and the mini is 1.0.2 I think, they both need a good bit of work.

Don't think i'm going to do an ascii-Mate version of Vuu-do and may have to dump Pluma from Openbox as the GTK3 version of Pluma is kinda ugly (so is Synaptic), which is a dang shame as it is almost perfect in 1.8.1 Mate.

What's really ridiculous is how much work it is to fix theming issues in the mountain of bloat that is GTK3 theming. GTK2 is ONE simple config file.

What goober thought that : 100 times more code=always equals better?

The re-sizing/disappearing scroll bars are just nonsensical, most aggravating aesthetic feature i've seen lately, a regression in useability too.

Maybe I can use the older versions in ascii, we'll see. Maybe fix and recompile.

Yep, with Mate and gnome2 before that, Mate will also occasionally do this with the optical drive if you have one, Mate also throws up an error message when you insert a blank CD if the optical drive is not already mounted, I fixed that at one point but can't remember what I did.

Openbox using gvfs though hasn't been doing it though, it's been remarkably trouble-free about mounting/unmounting properly.

No need for cpanminus, you can build the latest module from that link I posted above and install, then delete the extra stuff. Trizen built that module himself so you know it's optimized for obmenu-gen and menutray.

Replace obmenu-generator script.

Delete icons folder and cache.db from ~/.config/obmenu-generator. Now right click to open menu and it will re-populate automagically.

I did this last night on an ascii upgrade, worked perfectly.

I got a dollah says this is all that's needed.

obmenu-generator will automatically run the -p -i command when you click on it the first time, so shouldn't be necessary to do that either.

You are the rock-a-doodle-doo sir!

Looks like 57 also requires some updated libraries from what's in jessie, so the whole thing may be a non-starter anyway at least for the current stable Devuan.

Ahh I just fixed mine. My Perl version is 5.20 I think but that's not the issue, it was indeed the Linux::DesktopFiles perl module, in the ascii upgrade you must have gotten it automagically?

The Linux::DesktopFiles perl module versioning itself is different from the Perl version, Trizen has a new version (.25) of it as another project on github.

Sooooo....to upgrade my existing obmenu-generator, I downloaded the .zip of his perl module here: https://github.com/trizen/Linux-DesktopFiles, and extracted, opened a terminal and ran commands to build/install:

 perl Build.PL
     ./Build
     ./Build test
     ./Build install

Which upgraded me to .25 module, I then unpacked the obmenu-generator folder and replaced just the script itself in /usr/bin and it fired right up.

Maybe this will help someone that has an existing obmenu-generator install to upgrade to latest script.

I think it is, FYI the last version from August says it's version .99, and now this one is .84, so I don't think we can count on the numbers, lol.

Saw that note about locale support, interesting stuff.
