hevidevi . . . all that is old news but may be new to some.  Biological reductionist thinking will be the end of the natural world and our species.  But hey, there will be a technofix for that which will make even more money for the perpetrators . . .

Everyone . . . PLEASE learn to only quote essential segments of the posts to which you are responding.  It really bloats things to quote the whole thing.  I start to get scroll and attention fatigue seeing all the useless repetition float by . . . Thanks.

The question is . . . does Devuan include it in the Debian merge if not, using Debian repos directly could break things.  I cannot answer that question.  It is not listed on this page: https://devuan.org/os/packages

Probably runit is not good with Devuan.
Do you know where I can find an exhaustive list of repos? Does fasttrack exists?

runit is being used on Devuan.  Have a look at some of the threads on this forum.

I have hesitated to answer because I'm not quite sure what you mean by "exhaustive list of repos".  You can poke around any of the pkg mirrors to see what's available or search for a specific package at pkginfo.devuan.org or browse our git

In all my years here since 2014, I  have never heard "fasttrack" used (that I can remember).

No apology necessary.  Gender is completely irrelevant to me. Zero interest because I see the person not the genetic fluke.

@zapper . . . what Ralph said.  smile

It looks like it's available for chimaera (bullseye) and/or ceres (sid):

There are also rebuilds for beowulf here:

I needed some good news for a change.  Thanks for catching that . . .

@Élisabeth . . . your tenacity is quite extraordinary!  Congratulations!

#1336 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Chimaera XFCE SLiM "Switch Users" option (multiuser system) » 2021-09-19 02:30:22

I think you may be right that it changes desktops.  I'm a little hazy lately and should stop trying to answer questions as I'm batting zero today.

#1337 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] Chimaera XFCE SLiM "Switch Users" option (multiuser system) » 2021-09-18 23:32:44

On the slim panel there is a note to  Press F1 to select sessions. Did that not work?

#1338 Re: Installation » How to partition my disk ? » 2021-09-18 22:33:33

Duh . . . sorry for the noise.  FWIW, I always pre-partition my disks and then just point the installer to the appropriate ones. But then I most often install with the "live" iso (and not very often).

#1339 Re: Installation » How to partition my disk ? » 2021-09-18 21:53:38

@Élisabeth . . . Have you looked at the install guide on the website?  There are images of the installation screens and comments too.  I am pretty sure that instructions are the same for chimaera.

#1340 Re: Documentation » [SOLVED] Synaptic mirrors? » 2021-09-15 19:08:46

Happy that you got things sorted and welcome to Devuan.

#1341 Re: Documentation » [SOLVED] Synaptic mirrors? » 2021-09-15 18:21:58

sources.list info is detailed here.  Chimaera has not been released yet but you are welcome to test.  Otherwise use beowulf which is the current stable release.

#1343 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] USB image - Access Denied error » 2021-09-14 16:47:03

Yeah, I mentioned Rufus early on.  Seems it got lost in the confusion,

#1344 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Blanking screen » 2021-09-13 21:29:57

I don't know about Mate but Xfce has display options in the power management settings.

@zapper . . . it would be nice if more of your responses actually contributed knowledge to Devuan . . .

Wow, you guys were mega fast in getting Devuan chimaera out...

The subject of this thread is misleading.  Chimaera has not been "officially" released yet.  Will be soon though . . .

#1348 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] USB image - Access Denied error » 2021-09-08 21:45:57

I have heard rufus mentioned a few times too.  A migration is possible https://www.devuan.org/os/install but not always trouble-free. Search the forum for discussions.

OK just searched for "Image failed to verify with ACCESS DENIED" and getting a lot of hits.

#1349 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] USB image - Access Denied error » 2021-09-08 21:38:13

Have a look at this post: https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=30971#p30971

Since I always do legacy boot not sure it's the issue you're experiencing but doesn't hurt to mention it.
