Hello:

Right ...
It is the same stanza I used with the previous OB setup.

## This uses the 'oblogout' menu
{item => ['lxterminal sudo -e shutdown -r now', 'Reboot', 'applications-system']},

and

## This uses the 'oblogout' menu
{item => ['lxterminal sudo -e shutdown -h now', 'Shutdown', 'applications-system']},

Indeed ...
Works as intended.
I used one of the other available icons.

BTW: only those icons are available? ie: the ones with the UUID type names?

I'm used to ctrl+alt+backspace, fast enough.

Thanks for your input.

Cheers,

A.

Hello:

Hmmm ...
The wrong ones.

groucho@eee-dev3:~$ ls -l /home/groucho/.config/obmenu-generator

drwxr-xr-x 2 root    root      4096 Dec  5 21:30 obmenu-generator

groucho@eee-dev3:~$ 

It seems so.
I did follow the instructions, specifically where it said not to use root.
Evidently I did something wrong.

chown -hR groucho:groucho /home/groucho/.config/obmenu-generator

and

chmod -R 755 /home/groucho/.config/obmenu-generator

That was it.

groucho@eee-dev3:~$ obmenu-generator -p -i
:: A dynamic menu has been successfully generated!
groucho@eee-dev3:~$ 

It did.  8^D
Thanks a lot for your input.

Hello:

Came across this, just after I posted.
See http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/ich7-m.460478/

So, no SATA II for the mobile version.

Hello:

Thanks for the fast reply.  8^)

I was fiddling with the install and ended up installing both.
Seems the metapackage is the best/most convenient option.

Should I uninstall the version specific package?
It's taking up space.

TIA,

A.

Hello:

Hmm ...
There is no mention of it because it is basic common sense to do so before posting a question here and in every other forum on the net.
The same way it is basic common sense to then do a search on the site/forum to see if anyone else has come across that problem before you did.
And maybe found (or not) a solution which may have worked for them but not for you.

Hello:

It's really very easy to find out.

Downoad the desktop-live *.iso, dd it to a USB drive (do read the README.desktop-live.txt first, that's what it is there for) and boot the notebook from that.

If any problems arise, check dmesg to see what's going on and post here.

Cheers,

Hello:

Yes, I am.

The problem arises when you sort files or folders (whichever way) and then exit Thunar.
When you open Thunar again, you get the files sorted the way you did it previously.
ie: it survives a restart.

eg: if you sort files by date in a folder and then exit Thunar, on opening Thunar again, you get the files sorted by date again.
Not according to the default alphabetical sorting.
Yes, you get folders first if you set it that way in File Manager Preferences but the view is not reset to what you can expect to be the default (alphabetical sorting)

I really do not need Thunar to remind me how I sorted my files to be seen the last time I used it.
Why?

Because I will have purposely (or not) forgotten that very unneccesary tidbit of information.
Why?

Because alphabetical is the common sense way to sort anything with a name made up of letters in an alphabet.
Hence the concept of alphabetical.

And it has always been that way, probably from when the dictionary was invented.

Seeing that there is no option to set this type of sorting permanently in File Manager Preferences, it stands to reason that a sort by date action (or any other) is a temporary one.
ie: to specifically find a recently edited/modified file.

Yet the sorting you last used actually survives a Thunar exit/restart, which is quite annoying.
Very Poetteringesque™, if I may say so.

My question would then be: why the flying fuck is this so? is there a way to keep Thunar from doing this?

Cheers,

A.

Hello:

Hmm ...

Has it occurred to you that there's a reason for the existence of the Release Notes?
Think about it for a while, you may eventually grasp the idea.

I have noticed your not mentioning anyone putting a gun to your head to force you to install and use Devuan.
If, for whatever motive, it is not to your liking, I respectfully suggest you stay with Mint or choose any one of the many available options at your disposal.

Because [reasons] ...

*******************************************************************************
The main one being that it is how we do things here at Dev1.
*******************************************************************************

You may have not read the first few lines on the devuan.org web page:

I'd say that your questions about systemd are something you have to take elsewhere.

You may not notice but I am making an effort to be as polite as possible, so I will end this post in the following manner:

***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

I take exception to the tone in your posts as I consider them to be both unwarranted and out of place.
I would personally appreciate your showing more respect to the members of this forum and to those who volunteer their work to keep this site working.

Thank you.

Hello:

All parts are pertinent.

OK

You did not purge the previous HPLIP version before trying to install 3.19.5?

I have seen at least two posts on the web where it was said that the previous package had to be cleared out.
Can't find them now but I think you should do that.

Purge the installed version of HPLIP, reboot, make sure your installation is up to date and that there are no missing dependencies.

# apt autoremove --purge hplip

# apt update && apt upgrade && apt install -f

Reboot.
Now try to install the missing dependencies.

From your post I see that the HPLIP installer says it needs pyqt5 and pyqt5-dbus.
But when it tries to install them it bitches about pyqt4 and pyqt4-dbus and crashes.

Does not take into account the dependencies of the dependencies.  8^D

Let's try to install the missing dependencies individually, one by one via apt on the terminal.
Not via the HPLIP installer, evidently it is rather lacking.

ie:

# apt install pyqt4-dbus   <---- *first* the ones that are needed to be able to install the ones HPLIP says it needs
# apt install pyqt4

# apt install pyqt5-dbus   <---- *then* the ones that HPLIP says it needs
# apt install pyqt5

Then, just in case, check for other missing dependencies or updates.
ie:

# apt update && apt upgrade && apt install -f

Stop there (don't install HPLIP yet) and let us know how it went.

Cheers,

A.
