#126 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] What is your view on major distros dropping X11 and requiring Wayland? » 2024-01-26 12:21:46
Dropping X11 for wayland is just another drop in the bucket called idiocracy
If sharks from a transnational company called Red Hat decided this way, it does not mean that others will do the same.

On the other hand, there was yet another set of xorg security updates that we don’t get because it's forked.
For security related questions, just check this

I want try FVWM new version that still development, what i need to install fvwm or fvwm3?
Hello.
Just use fvwm3. FVWM2 is in maintenance mode. This means it won't be receiving any new features. Bug fixes will be to the core of FVWM2 only.
i do not see any difference here between fvwm and fvwm3?

Wayland is much like systemd
No, it is not.
forced down people's throats
No one is forcing you to use it. And if it was decided by a transnational company like Red Hat, that's another matter.
#130 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] libvirt / Virtual Machine Manager als root? » 2024-01-24 16:47:48
Yes, done, stopAI. Does that have any additional benefit?
In order to manage virtual machines as a regular user, that user needs to be added to the that group. Members of the libvirt group have passwordless access to the RW daemon socket by default.

however, the RAM usage doubled.
In Devuan Daedalus procps-ng package is updated, which includes the “free” command. One of the things changed is that how “unused” memory is calculated now includes shared memory that was previously uncounted.
The end result is that Daedalus will show higher ram usage than Chimaera even on the same configuration. However, as confirmed by inspecting /proc/meminfo, there wasn’t actually a significant change in ram usage.

After that, I added an executable file
And for what purpose did you do it? Apt configures packages automatically....
I have no idea what to do anymore
The fact that you manually moved those files to places they don't belong is very bad. I don't know what to advise. You can try to manually remove those files and install the package group with command
sudo apt install pipewire-audioBut to be honest, I don't know if it will help...it's worth a try.
#134 Re: Off-topic » [SOLVED] What is your view on major distros dropping X11 and requiring Wayland? » 2024-01-22 12:13:06
Knowing that i3 will never adopt Wayland is an example of this
Why is i3 here, if there is sway? And why do i3 developers have to adapt i3 to the wayland environment, if there is sway, which is practically the same as i3, only working in the wayland environment?
#135 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » requesting recomendations for a small window manager » 2024-01-22 12:06:31
thunar is recommended for full functionality
No, you're wrong. Thunar is not a recommended package. It is an essential package…I mean when you install xfce4. After installation, you can use another file browser, but thunar is required.
#136 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » requesting recomendations for a small window manager » 2024-01-19 15:33:59
Just use cwm. It is minimal, plays well with modern software.
P.S.
Twm is a very old wm and this unmaintained.

Systemd for example has 1 million lines of code vs openrc which has like less than 100000 lines of code.
Hello.
Very interesting statistic. Where can i find it?
P.S.
Sorry for the noise. I find it 
#139 Re: Off-topic » waylandows is crap » 2024-01-12 17:08:00
Ratpoison's code is about 20k lines, and compiles to a 180K binary. So it looks like Stumpwm's code is more compact
Yes, but on cold start up Ratpoison using 8 MB of memory. Stumpwm using 50 MB.
And if we talk about the minimalism of the interface, then we can also consider the Gnome desktop environment as minimalist.
#140 Re: Off-topic » waylandows is crap » 2024-01-12 12:06:11
Stumpwm is written in Lisp. I'm not sure how lightweight that would be
StumpWM is not minimalist. If you want a minimalist tiling window manager, then StumpWM is not what you're looking for. The code base is ~15k lines, the binaries produced are ~60mb.
#141 Re: Off-topic » waylandows is crap » 2024-01-11 12:17:50
I like wayland. I used to be skeptical of him, but now my view of him has changed. And most importantly, no tearing with it
#142 Re: Documentation » How to: Devuan 5 Daedalus an pipewire » 2024-01-10 12:00:40
I didn't realize that pipewire-pulse was a separate program from pipewire itself.
Yes, pipewire-pulse is dependencies of pipewire-audio meta package. It is recommended to install this metapackage
pipewire-audiowhich depends on wireplumber (the recommended session manager), pipewire-pulse (to replace PulseAudio), pipewire-alsa (ALSA) and libspa-0.2-bluetooth (for Bluetooth support).
Moreover, installing this metapackage will remove pulseaudio to prevent any conflicts between both sound server.
#143 Re: Documentation » How to: Devuan 5 Daedalus an pipewire » 2024-01-09 12:08:24
Does anyone know if PW supports CLI control in the same way as PA, for example, with pactl & pacmd?
When using the PipeWire PulseAudio replacement server, all of pactl commands should work as usual. Some of the pactl commands have native PipeWire equivalents that will also work without pipewire-pulse.

Hello.
I am glad that the method I suggested helped you.
For upgrades, you should go from Chimaera to Daedalus and Ceres. If my opinion is important to you, then stick with open source driver. You will have less problems during the upgrades.
#145 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] How to fix unicode text, it's showing as a box » 2024-01-03 17:09:54
Yeah, I suspect it's a problem with the OP's font configuration, or something isn't properly installed that's causing it to revert to fonts that don't contain the required characters.
Maybe you should ask the Devuan 5 (Crowz) developer?

@stopAi . . . tread carefully. That was uncalled for.
I'm sorry. I didn't want to offend anyone.
#148 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] transmission-gkt ( release version) » 2023-12-27 16:49:34
On gentoo and had a debian/devuan desktop handy
OTOH, if we keep up the "I don't know the answer, so just use appimage" and "download from official website" (AKA "I have 'ex-windows user' tattooed on my forehead") type nonsense, this place can be as devoid of useful technical information as FDN in no time.
Thank you, O great guru, for descending from your heavenly abode and enlightening us wretched worms with your heavenly wisdom.
P.S.
The AppImage approach is really really useful.
#149 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [SOLVED] transmission-gkt ( release version) » 2023-12-27 12:21:54
While it might be easier, I really have no idea what qbittorrent or appimages have to do with compiling transmission.
How is this even remotely relevant or helpful?
Well, I advised this because I know that compiling a transmission is not as easy as it might seem...

What did you have to do?
There is no automatic method to restore the precedent configuration, so there is no going back once the system is converted to the merged /usr directory scheme...
