But again, let me emphasize, this is just my experience.
Perhaps if you paid to obtain their "Certification" you would be granted the secret
incantations needed to make it function properly. LOL!! ![]()
IIRC MiyoLinux has some nice menus for openbox. Check in Devuan Derivatives.
@Nili and berni51 . . . Yeah, macro "just works" if it is done properly. I raise a cup of green tea and send well wishes to both of you! And also to our resident curmudgeon, HoaS . . .
LOL . . . I didn't get that memo. Of course the US gov doesn't want it's citizens to be healthy. They want the population to be sick because it is a cash cow for the MIC. I figured that out in the 70s and choose a different path that has served me well.
Been doing somewhat modified macro for over 40 years. There have been a few bumps in the road but I'm gonna be 80 this year, take no pharma or even OTC and have no chronic conditions so I must be doing something right. I opted out of Medicare because I only see a doctor friend for blood testing every couple of years and all the boxes check OK when I do. If something comes up and I can't heal myself, I call my acupuncturist/herbalist for advice. Works for me . . .
I prefer my anecdote to the misery that I see around me, thank you. ![]()
Always read the Release Notes and you won't get caught like that again. That issue was listed in the Index right at the top of that document. So yeah, it was noted by Devuan . . .
Hope things go better now that you've got that sorted . . . ![]()
Edit: I have suggested that a link to the Release Notes be added to the top of that install guide on the website. Good that you caught that. Thanks.
I once replaced 4 memory sticks. They failed. I played with it a bit but eventually took it to my local hardware guy. It took several attempts for him to figure out that they only worked in one specific configuration. Go figure . . .
We don't need no stinkin' display manager...
There is comfort and beauty (sometimes) in a display manager.
Art matters . . .

When I wrote that, I was just playing around. I knew that connection wasn't the right one but was too lazy to do the legwork to sort it.
"Seitan Limania" is a name of turkish origin, but meaning and pronunciation will be a lot easier with a small rewrite : "Satan Limania".
freely translate's to "satan's harbours". (name probably had something to do with the strong sea currents in the area.... )
so, even though the island is in between 3 continents, and was a major commercial point once, this name (or any other in Crete afaik) had nothing to do with Japan...
Thanks. Now there's the canonical answer! Makes perfect sense.
@hoas , each place has it's pros and cons.
It's not where you are. It is who you are that matters.
Though some environments are definitely more pleasant than others, it is no guarantee of happiness.
and it goes without saying: if you're ever around, drop me an email.
I would be honored. But rest easy . . . no vax = no air travel. So unless something changes, I'm grounded for the remainder of my years. ![]()
Thanks Nili. Interesting connection that answers my question (which likely has nothing to do with the name of that beautiful cove).
I discovered macrobiotics in the 70s and it turned my dietary trajectory on its head! That decision has served me well. I used to make seitan, amazake and other labor intensive (and messy) delights but now I'm too old to go through all that and just cook quite simply. Nothing like a nishime or a cup of ume-sho-kuzu with ginger to cure about anything
I wouldn't know how to cook without many Japanese staples in my kitchen: shoyou, miso, all umeboshi variants - whole, paste or vinegar, takuan pickles, kuzu, gomashio, kombu, hato mugi, udon, sencha green tea etc.. There are several distributors in the US that import (mostly) organic varieties of these wonderful foods. Unfortunately, many of them are now in California harbors waiting to be unloaded. I'm ready to pounce when they are available again . . .
I wish we could share a cup of green tea!
[A very off-topic response]
not really into appearance/theme stuff, but mentioning the island where i live, caught my eye
Lucky you! In the 70s I spent 2 summers sailing with a friend from Guernsey to France across the Bay of Biscay to Spain, Portugal, then Tangier, though the Straits of Gibraltar, more Spain and finally Ibiza. We really wanted to make it all the way to Greece but chatter about pirates from N. Africa targeting Westerners dampened our resolve to actually do it. LOL! Sad that I never was able to fulfill that pipe dream . . .

Here's a sneak peek of the Daedalus "sapphire" theme. It's presented on black because the light background of the forum kills the intense blue which has a "glow" on the desktop:
This theme was inspired by the jewel-like waters of the Mediterranean sea where Daedalus was born on the island of Crete:
Note that a 1080p specific background option will be available for Daedalus thanks to Lars Noodén!
More to come . . . ![]()
That needed to be done long before Devuan existed. That doesn't mean that it wasn't intentional but not for reasons you might be imagining . . . I can't explain why it was working on previous releases without enabling it.
HoaS . . . You are my hero!
Much appreciated. Thanks!
Many years ago, I was advised to type those letters s-l-o-w-l-y or it wouldn't work. Seems it needs time to do stuff along the way. This may or may not be true. I also remember that something has to be allowed for it to work. I think it has worked for me but also seem to remember it failing at other times. Maybe I'm just confused . . . LOL!
Hey Plentyn! Nice to see you!! Jaromil has mentioned another conference recently but I think that the core in AMS has scatted due to COVID. I know I won't be able to come again. No vax = no air travel.
Hi everyone,
I installed Devuan (devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_desktop.iso) I need to run few apt install
any ideas ?
It looks like there is a typo. It should be chimaera not chimera.
Also . . . would be nice if you could actually post the code using the code tags rather than posting off-site images.
Thanks.
And looks like you might have a clock issue and need to comment the CDROM line in sources.list
Not if you're already bothering to disable the Analytics javascript in every site you visit.
I thought uBlock Origin did that automatically. Maybe I'm missing something . . .
Here's the old gnome xkill icon
It has disappeared from the search engines but I have been keeping it alive for a very long time in my icon collection. Enjoy!

Will xkill kill the panel / taskbar if you click on that ?
Not sure if I wanted to try because not sure how to get it back if it does.. lol
In my experience, it won't destroy the panel even if you do accidentally click it! At least on jessie and earlier because I have accidentally clicked outside the intended target a few times. It does kill the browser when you click and on restart, the session has been saved and I am able to get right back to work. I just tested FF on a chimaera VM and it seems to remember where I left of without saving the session. IOW, it reloaded the pages automatically.

There is also this solution from fsmithred:
su was moved from the shadow source package to util-linux, and the behavior changed at that time. To revert to the old behavior (from man su):
echo 'ALWAYS_SET_PATH yes' >> /etc/default/su
Only the netinstall provides an init choice during installation. The "live" disk just copies pre-configured files of a default install. Then you can change init post-install,
Look at screenshot #19 in the install guide
@aitor . . . there have been a few nibbles. I am hopeful!
