Are you sure you aren't confusing the minimal-live and desktop-live isos

Is there a live iso with an actual desktop?

Yes.  The desktop-live.

All available isos are described at https://www.devuan.org/get-devuan  The two you mentioned are quite different:

desktop-live (1.2 GB): Explore the default Xfce desktop before installing. Then install easily and quickly from the live session using the refractainstaller. Firmware is installed but can easily be removed.

minimal-live (~460 MB): A full-featured, console-based recovery tool with a focus on accessibility for visually-impaired and blind users. Uses the refractainstaller.

Did it ever exist?  Perhaps my memory is failing but I don't remember ever hearing of DevuanDog . . .

#1456 Re: Devuan » devuan.org russian translation » 2021-04-21 17:30:10

Welcome to Devuan and thank you for your offer to improve Devuan's language accessibility. Translations were discussed internally several years ago when several "official" and a few unofficial translations popped up. Eventually all those efforts disappeared.  Why?  The problem with human translation is that the site is not static and to keep on top of the changes requires constant attention.  That being said, perhaps it's time for Devuan to revisit the possibility of providing translations.

#1458 Re: Devuan » [SOLVED] Plans for MythTV packages? » 2021-04-07 02:29:40

Your assessment is correct.  We are Debian without systemd.  If someone wants to port, package and maintain MythTV, it could reside in our git but unlikely to become part of our main distribution.

#1459 Re: Other Issues » There is no access to pkgmaster.devuan.org, dev1galaxy.org » 2021-04-06 17:19:36

Devuan is not blocking access but it is recommended that users not use pkgmaster directly because it can impede updating of the devuan mirrors.  Maybe try deb.devuan.org or pick a specific mirror from the mirror list.

#1461 Re: Devuan » As Debian 11 moves closer to Devuan. Is there any reason to stay on De » 2021-04-04 21:13:54

@kuleszdl  . . . Are you aware that Debian is currently involved in another GR which is political not technical? No way I would leave this haven of peace and sanity . . .

#1462 Re: Off-topic » what music are you listening to RIGHT NOW? » 2021-04-03 23:01:50

Do we really need TWO music threads?  I am considering merging with the other one at HoaS' suggestion.  Don't be surprised if that happens.

I think that you answered your own question.

We are not competitors.  We are collaborators.  smile

Devuan's artwork is quite specific and minimal.  All the default templates are HERE.

User contributed artwork can be offered in our gitea and promoted on the forum or elsewhere.

FWIW, I have been sharing that link since it was penned nearly 7 years ago.  It seems that the assimilation is nearing completion.

#1467 Re: Other Issues » Can't upgrade my packages from deb.devuan.org's ftp server » 2021-04-03 16:34:55

Some of the package mirrors also seem to offer ftp and rsync.  If that is not the case, that file should be edited.

#1468 Re: Other Issues » Can't upgrade my packages from deb.devuan.org's ftp server » 2021-04-03 05:29:43

In all the years I've been here, I've never heard any discussion about accessing the repos via ftp and on the website's "Packages" page only http and https are mentioned.  However, several of the  the mirrors in the round-robin offer ftp.  I think you'd have to chose one of those to test ftp.

#1469 Re: Documentation » HOW TO Install lightdm webkit2 greeter » 2021-04-02 17:46:38

Just to let you know that the Devuan default theme has a lightdm background.  This one is from the upcoming chimaera:

You stated in the book thread that your studies killed your "whole enjoyment of reading for pleasure or intellectual stimulation".  Though it doesn't seem to have killed an abundant stream of mental proliferation . . .

Sorry couldn't resist . . .  big_smile

The future will be what it will be when it becomes the present which is actually all there is.  Everything else is mental fiction that we seem to think is reality but isn't.

That's quite entertaining.  We must be doing something right to warrant that attention. big_smile

#1473 Re: Devuan » Meet Chimaera's deepsea theme » 2021-03-29 17:02:10

I suspected that switching files out might break other things and was going to start investigating after a good night's sleep.  Looks like sgage and  fsmithred and ToZ on the Xfce forum saved me the headache. Gtk-3 is such a pox . . .

Yes! That did it. I used the above-mentioned css files from purpy, from the link you provided. I will try to analyze it tomorrow, but it's bedtime. Thanks for your efforts!!!

Excellent!  IIUC, Mate is built on gnome2 which still uses gtk-2 so would choke on the gtk-3 in the more recent versions.

#1475 Re: Devuan » Meet Chimaera's deepsea theme » 2021-03-29 00:50:41

@sgage . . . does the ascii darkpurpy theme work OK on Mate?  If yes, try replacing the gtk-widgets.css, applications.css and gtk-widgets-img.css in deepsea with those from darkpurpy.  There is one color change towards the end of gtk-widgets.css that you'll want to keep from deepsea but the rest can probably fall back to the earlier gtk version.
