#1252 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Devuan and VirtualBox » 2022-05-02 18:16:51
Just got to work by invoking with sh instead of a plain reference. Apparently that gets around whatever the permissions issue is.
This ^ . . . I ran into the same problem recently . . .
#1253 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Synaptic No Longer Shows Repositories » 2022-04-28 02:11:32
The Ubuntu reference indicates that it might be self-inflicted:
From: https://www.devuan.org/os/packages
Devuan package repositories are exclusive. Other repositories, including Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc, should NOT be used directly.
#1254 Re: ARM Builds » Installer images for armel, armhf and ppc64 need testing » 2022-04-23 17:09:50
Maybe try images at https://arm-files.devuan.org/?
#1255 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] Existential doubt » 2022-04-17 20:26:40
Also check backports to see if it might be there.
#1256 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] Existential doubt » 2022-04-17 19:37:30
It does.
The canonical answer is here:
https://www.devuan.org/os/releases
And here:
https://files.devuan.org/ (or from your favorite mirror)
#1257 Re: Off-topic » Why don't we just fork systemd and remove unneccessary bloat? » 2022-04-16 06:28:36
Gday
This is what I don't understand
Why cant the community fork or pull soyd/dbus/avachi from opensource programs?
[cut rant]
Does the soydless community even have a plan of action to go ahead ?
There are talkers and doers. Until you become a doer, silence is the best option. Perhaps you'll find a more appreciative audience elsewhere . . .
#1258 Re: Off-topic » Why don't we just fork systemd and remove unneccessary bloat? » 2022-04-15 19:45:02
Why don't we fork systemd instead? Let's just remove unneccessary parts. Can't we do that? Wouldn't it be better? Or worse?
Why would anyone want systemd in the first place?
#1259 Re: Devuan » Devuan look and feel » 2022-04-15 01:58:57
@czeekaj - There has been a customized Clearlooks-Phenix-* theme for each Devuan release. Take a look here for some theming tips. Clearlook-Phenix is down the page a bit. Might give you some ideas.
#1260 Re: Off-topic » What are you reading/want to read ? » 2022-04-09 02:47:40
I would have actually enjoyed American history class if this had been the guide. No such luck as the book hadn't been written yet!
A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn.
#1261 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Vim theme doesn't work when vimrc is there! » 2022-04-08 16:21:09
Wow! Was the solution as simple as that?
Debian and Linux forums couldn't help yet in the same timeframe!
We are here and they are there for many reasons, one of which you just discovered.
#1262 Re: News & Announcements » Does the project prepare some periodic report? » 2022-04-01 19:52:51
You don't owe me anything, I'm just a lowly user who works on other FOSS, but FWIW I find this lacking.
Not going to waste anymore time on this as any answer I provide would not satisfy you.
If you would like more detailed documentation provided:
1. join the Devuan Team
2. get to know us and how we collaborate
3. write the documents you desire to meet your expectations

> We are all adults
Waiting for this part to be revised once some under-18 users complain (which they should)...
Some under 18 are more adult than many over 18. IOW, maturity is not a number and hopefully those who come here will attempt to understand that.
#1265 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » network manager, couple questions » 2022-03-30 20:31:37
I am on sid Devuan
Just to reduce confusion for new readers . . .
There is Debian sid.
There is no Devuan sid.
There IS Devuan ceres.
Devuan ceres identifies, works around some and blacklists other systemd dependencies in Debian sid.
#1266 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Could we use the signature "D" in Devuan » 2022-03-30 01:58:43
Yes I think there was a mistake on that link;
the OP had this link: https://imgur.com/8MA5SQK which does include the "swoosh"
Yeah, I saw that up top. A bit too murky imo but at least marginally visible. Thankfully not my problem . . . 
#1268 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Could we use the signature "D" in Devuan » 2022-03-29 15:49:15
I'm confused . . . maybe it's my old eyes . . . or maybe I don't understand what a watermark is . . . or maybe I need special xray glasses?

#1270 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] any chances to install nvidia-legacy-340xx on Devuan chimaera? » 2022-03-19 21:50:34
And how its can help?
You can find stuff.
. . . driver from sid and i use stable
You might be able to backport it to stable. Don't ask me how. That's beyond my skill-set.
#1271 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] any chances to install nvidia-legacy-340xx on Devuan chimaera? » 2022-03-19 20:10:14
You can download and install just what you need.
pkginfo.devuan.org is a very useful tool.
#1272 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] any chances to install nvidia-legacy-340xx on Devuan chimaera? » 2022-03-19 15:19:53
No need to add Debian repo. Devuan already has it!
Debian sid = Devuan ceres
#1273 Re: Devuan » Donation bombed » 2022-03-18 01:39:08
I think that zapper and andyprough should create their own forum where they can try to outdo each other's nonsense. Please stop wasting Devuan resources on irrelevant babble.
#1274 Re: Devuan Derivatives » GNUinOS - Libre » 2022-03-18 01:33:18
Seems you've forgotten this is a GNUinOS - Libre thread not a Trisquel thread.
#1275 Re: Devuan » Donation bombed » 2022-03-18 01:24:14
I tried to make a small donation but the form wanted my phone number and that's something I would even give to mother Theresa :-)
I just investigated the options HERE and it seems that credit card donations are going through PayPal (yuck) and the the form does indeed ask for a phone number. Is that the option you tried? I don't know if it's always been that way but I can ask the folks at dyne if they are aware it is set up that way. That web page hasn't been changed in a long time. PayPal might have changed their procedure or someone would have probably mentioned it before.
