So sorry to hear that . . .
#1353 Re: Other Issues » Customize other themes and icons » 2021-10-17 17:58:22
The css cannot be imported as it is specific to the Clearlooks Phenix theme. You'll have to do color substitutions in the theme of your choice. Just grab the colors with a color picker like Gcolor2 (my favorite) and search/replace. That sounds easy but be prepared to do a deep dive.
Hearing that you like the colors just made my day. It took several months of trial and error to get them just right and about 6 months to apply them to all the moving parts including the websites.
Will put a first mention of this here . . . after theming 4 Devuan releases, I'm ready to "retire" so the job is open if anyone wants to take it on going forward.
#1354 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » What games do you play on Devuan?? » 2021-10-17 17:36:22
AisleRiot Solitaire, best card game on linux imo.
Indeed. Occasionally I mess with Swell Foop though. Good for visual spatial acuity.
#1355 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » apt sources, changing version and name with apt » 2021-10-17 05:51:21
@zephyr . . . Nice to see you. I wondering why you still have auto.mirror.devuan.org in you sources list even though it is commented out. It has been deprecated for several years so no need to keep it around anymore.
#1356 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » root path is invisible: devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_desktop.iso kde » 2021-10-17 05:19:20
Perhaps this from the Release Notes?
su
The behaviour of su changed in Devuan 3 Beowulf. These changes persist
in Devuan 4 Chimaera. Use su - to get root's path or use the full path
to commands if you use only su. See the following for more information:

#1360 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.
#1361 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).

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:
#1370 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 . . .
#1374 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
#1375 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).
