So yes I'm putting my hand up if something needs doing . . .
Good intentions without action bears no fruit. He who seeks, finds. You are most welcome to offer solutions to posts on this forum or perhaps fix a bug. Only you know your skillset and abilities and can choose to offer them to the community.

#1353 Re: Installation » Someone Removed My Bug Report » 2021-09-02 18:10:56
Yes, there is a "we" at Devuan. That is what's makes this distro unique and powerful.
I have not touched your email or forum accounts. Neither have I suggested or encouraged action to be taken by anyone else.
#1354 Re: Installation » Someone Removed My Bug Report » 2021-08-30 17:51:35
The 502 error on bugs.d.o has been fixed. It seems that /tmp was full.

#1356 Re: Installation » Someone Removed My Bug Report » 2021-08-30 16:07:58
In addition, the dev who processes the bug reports rarely visits this forum and has been on holiday.
We accept your apology.

@Jakoline . . .
There is a difference between what is said and what is interpreted through our mental filters. All humans suffer from these mental distortions and sadly build entire identities from the fictitious rationalizations and justifications generated from them.
You are only the victim of your own internal distortions and only you can heal them. Not to worry. You have plenty of company.
Devuan is on the track that it is on. Perhaps if you had stayed around and contributed, it would now be something more suited to your needs.
It seems that you have in effect, with your dramatic departure, self-banned. As everything in life, the choice is yours so best to choose wisely.
And finally a reminder . . . less is always more.
#1358 Re: Installation » Network Issue With Devuan » 2021-08-29 15:16:10
@Jakoline . . . Your apology should be directed to the Devuan community and those who provided the information needed to correct the issue you experienced but afaik (and please correct me if I'm wrong), never attempted to implement.
#1359 Re: Installation » Network Issue With Devuan » 2021-08-28 22:07:26
Please stop stuffing this forum with nonsense or we will do it for you.
edit: Filing a Debian bug with Devuan will not get the "bug" you perceive fixed. File it directly with Debian.
#1360 Re: Installation » Network Issue With Devuan » 2021-08-28 20:51:15
@Jakoline . . .To get back on-topic . . .
As per Head_on_a_Stick's post above, the behavior you described is present in the Debian installer so please file a bug with Debian if you would like that behavior changed.

True, though many more have seemingly just vanished.
Many have left the debian-based ecosystem entirely. I'm hoping it can hang together in a usable state till the end of my years on this imploding rock hurtling through space and time . . .

Jakoline wrote:nobody knows what FDN means it's called debian forums
No, it's not. forums.debian.net is logically abbreviated to FDN, always has been, always will be.
That took on a renewed importance @2012 when the previous "play nice with n00bs" policy was implemented at FDN and there was a substantial exodus from FDN to DUF aka the Debian User Forums which was only mothballed recently because we all found other sandboxes in which to play. Many have landed here . . .
#1363 Re: Installation » Network Issue With Devuan » 2021-08-28 16:14:56
@Jakoline . . .
FDN = Forums.Debian.Net
Feel free to move on . . .
#1364 Re: Installation » Network Issue With Devuan » 2021-08-28 15:22:13
@Jakoline . . . LOL! Have you ever considered that perhaps it is you that is broken and useless? From your posts at FDN, I suspected your presence here would quickly become adversarial. Feel free to move on. Byeeeeeeeeee . . .
#1365 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Wicd in Chimaera (It's not, but...) » 2021-08-23 04:46:29
PLEASE keep this thread focused on the possibility of running wicd in Chimaera. Does it work for you? What issues if any? Is it secure? Report your experiences here.
#1366 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Wicd in Chimaera (It's not, but...) » 2021-08-22 23:16:45
That answer is non -responsive. This thread is about wicd in Chimaera not about using Debian repositories directly which btw is not a good idea but then you get to keep all the pieces. 
Please keep on-topic going forward as being able to use wicd safely will be important to many upgrading to Chimaera.
#1367 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Security question about Devuan 4 in its current state » 2021-08-22 15:17:00
Debian testing is now "Bookworm" which will be the base for Devuan 5 "Daedalus".
Devuan 4 "Chimaera" is based on Debian "Bullseye" which is now stable.
Note that if you use "testing" in your sources.list, you will find yourself upgraded to "Bookworm"/"Daedalus" which is basically Ceres at this point.
#1368 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Systemd folder » 2021-08-20 18:12:34
And one more question. Why are "non-free" repositories initially connected? Are there only "free" branch repositories?
That is so users can actually install Devuan. You can avoid non-free firmware by following this advice in the Install Guide:
If you would like to select an alternate bootloader (lilo) or exclude non-free firmware, you must choose "Expert install" under Advanced options.
#1369 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Systemd folder » 2021-08-20 18:06:48
Dear developers! How can you explain the fact that your distribution has a Systemd folder (/etc/systemd)? What is it for if by default Devuan comes without Systemd?
Welcome to the forum.
Your question is answered in this sticky post:
Why are systemd files present in Devuan?
#1370 Re: Off-topic » s6's Laurent Bercot plans "last piece of full alternative to systemd" » 2021-08-11 00:38:06
Begs the question - let's say Bercot finishes the work in the next year, and s6 really does turn into the "ideal service manager". What then for Devuan? Start offering it as an alternative init? Making it the default init would seem the appropriate response if it does all that he claims it will.
We're way ahead of you!

#1371 Re: Installation » My chimaera install issues #2: Can't abort LXQt WM choice » 2021-08-01 22:12:44
Seems you know exactly what the problem is so feel free to write a patch(s) that season the soup exactly as you like and submit it upstream. I think this thread has run its course. Continuing to argue your points here is a fruitless endeavor.
#1372 Re: Installation » My chimaera install issues #2: Can't abort LXQt WM choice » 2021-08-01 21:45:05
If you go to a smorgasbord and eat everything offered, indigestion and an "interesting" night are likely to follow. A distro shouldn't be required to nanny users lacking reasonable self-control and the foreseeable consequences of over-indulging.
#1373 Re: Installation » My chimaera install issues #2: Can't abort LXQt WM choice » 2021-08-01 19:43:08
That would depend on the definition of "reasonable person". Installing multiple desktops with a distribution that strives for simplicity and doing one thing and doing it well seems like a user/distro mismatch to me.
#1374 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] New kernel adoption policy in Debian » 2021-07-26 18:25:20
Isn't that a question for Debian not for Devuan? Other than a few systemd related packages, Devuan follows Debian repos.
#1375 Re: Installation » My Chimaera install issues #1: Forced manual choice of LXQt WM » 2021-07-25 05:56:12
IIUC, Devuan is requesting feedback about issues with the packages that Devuan has forked and maintains not packages that are maintained by Debian or upstream of Debian. Bugs on those packages should be reported upstream. But there are times when it can be difficult to sort where the issue lies.
