#1326 Re: Devuan Derivatives » List of Devuan derivatives » 2021-10-12 22:19:13
Refracta was around long before Devuan and based on Debian. The live install media is for desktop as are many of the derivatives. Again . . . if you would like to update the descriptions of those derivatives (which were mostly written by the creators), knock yourself out and submit them on our git or to forum staff.
#1327 Re: Devuan » What necessitates these categories of systemd-related files? » 2021-10-12 22:04:04
I want to make golinux' question from the sticky thread more specific. He asked:
Note that I posted that thread. I did not write it. Also . . .
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=31788#p31788
But I'm not interested in the binary response. Rather, I'm looking at the different categories of files I can identify on my system, and would like to know why we (or perhaps I should say you Devuan maintainers) can't make them go away.
1. It would be a lot of busy work that would serve no functional benefit. Those files just sit there and afaik do nothing. IOW the "problem" is in the mind not in reality.
2. Devuan maintainers work on packages that are essential for Devuan to function. You are, of course, welcome to take on such a project if you like. That's the way free software works.

Okay...
You have forced me into this; therefore, I will give my input (not that my input matters).
Here it is...

Best topic I've seen in a while!
@Miyo . . . your input always matters to me. You dropping into our little world always makes me smile.

Just to be clear, that was not my intention whatsoever...
No one said it was.
Please take note of appropriately trimmed post.

MXlinux has systemd installed, so i guess that's the reason it's working there. it's probably working on antiX too, haven't tried it, but dbus-user-session is in antix repos without systemd dependency (with consolekit, not elogind).
I'm not sure whether systemd was installed on MXlinux...
It is available for installation. Or activation might be a better word:
#1336 Re: Forum Feedback » Please trim quotes in responses » 2021-10-04 00:43:15
Sorry for your confusion Fa. That was not directed towards you and I should probably move that post to Forum Feedback.
You might have noticed that this thread has gotten shorter. That is because it was "hijacked" by another topic and I removed those posts to a separate thread.
Those posters are notorious for quoting the COMPLETE message to which they are responding instead of trimming to specific points. It makes the page very long with useless repetitions and requires endless scrolling which is quite inefficient.
I might move these last three posts actually so don't be upset if you find them missing. I will do that later or tomorrow though.

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.

Thanks. See you around . . .
#1340 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Desktop.iso install: multiple problems » 2021-10-02 13:54:26
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
#1341 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Desktop.iso install: multiple problems » 2021-10-02 04:32:48
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.

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.

On the slim panel there is a note to Press F1 to select sessions. Did that not work?
#1349 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).
#1350 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.
