#127 Re: Other Issues » Uninstall firefox without installing other junk? Also menu woes. » 2021-02-19 17:59:29
I'm so fucking frustrated
I would like to maintain a positive tone on my comments. I understand that you are upset. Sometimes we think that the world is against us. But there are nothing personal, Earth keeps spinning anyway.
Devuan and this very forum can be very helpful. I get my shit done using Devuan (and before that, Debian) for more than 20 years. GNU/linux is my OS of choice. Get used to it helps, sure. I'm not so confident using other OS, so I get angry when other systems don't work the way I want.
If you were so picky with any other OS as you are today whith Devuan, no OS would be fine for you, so you would need to write your own OS from scratch. Not an easy task. 
If you are willing to do, my piece of advice is you to relax, count to 10 (or 100) and ask for ideas. If you are in a hurry for work, there are a lot of distros and OS to choose from.
Good luck.

Add a line like
NotShowIn=GNOME;KDE;XFCE;to the .desktop file for any apps you want to disappear from the menu.
Alternatively, you can use the line
NoDisplay=trueIt should work on any DE that honor the specification.
#129 Re: Installation » appimages? » 2021-02-08 13:07:08
I still can't run by double clicking, but if I run from terminal using <--no-sandbox>, it runs.
Now just need to find a way of running from the desktop without having to go into terminal all the time:-)
Easy-peasy: edit the .desktop file
#130 Re: Freedom Hacks » Do not use pulseaudio » 2021-02-08 10:32:20
I was unable to get the media player to push it through the TV.
Could you elaborate on this? I dont understand you.
#131 Re: Installation » appimages? » 2021-02-07 09:47:50
the app will not run upon double click.
Try to start the file from terminal. May be there are some messsage.
#132 Re: Devuan » Debian has fallen. What now? » 2021-02-05 10:25:08
trinity desktop looks better visually then kde or gnome in my opinion...
I don't argue about personal tastes, but I think that we have to take into account that any of them are highly themable.
#133 Re: Devuan » devuan and LTS » 2021-01-29 20:25:35
always people that does not know nothing:
again talking without well knowed !
Your wording is a bit rude for me. In this forum we are used to another kind of tone. Your information, on the other hand, is very valuable; thanks.
#134 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Configuring new server box » 2021-01-28 18:05:22
I assume that I will need a fan for an i5 or i7 cpu as well as thermal grease.
Yes, they are too powerful to go fanless.
I assembled the system i was talking about myself. In Spanish:
http://pedroreina.net/hardware/chus/
but if are not confident with hardware, may be wise to get help on this side or even order the system already assembled. Usually they charge around $50, you can ask a quote beforehand.
"i5" & "i7" are fairly meaningless without the specific processor type, ... I know that the 10th & 11th generation Intel integrated graphics chips won't work at all in Devuan beowulf
Agreed, of course. I would like to point out that Beowulf run perfectly on my 9th generation Intel i5-9600T with the stock kernel.
#135 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Configuring new server box » 2021-01-27 22:58:22
I'm not an expert about Supermicro, but I've read
https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/ … d/X11SSV-Q
and the specs seem pretty standard to me: Socket LGA1151, 32 GB max RAM,...
I'm running Beowulf on a Socket LGA1151 mobo with newer CPU (an i5-9600T) and 32 GB of RAM without any issues.
Just my $0.02.

can I install lightdm safely on my system?
I know that you already installed it, but I would like to show a theme I did for webkit2 greeter:

I'm using it with Beowulf.
#139 Re: Off-topic » Greetings from New Member » 2021-01-07 10:11:15
it occurred to me that "desktop" is an odd label for a computer which sits on the floor under the desk
Very funny. I've been there: http://pedroreina.net/montaje/pentium233.jpg
Wellcome to the forum.
#140 Re: Installation » no ext3 and ext4 option for formatting partitions during installation » 2021-01-07 10:06:23
This is a bit strange: I just restarted the installation not in expert mode, but with 'install' (first option on first screen). It now gives me all the filesystems options that I'd expect, including ext3 and ext4.
May be in expert mode you accidentaly skipped one screen. I did it sometimes and went to bizarre situations as you described. I prefer the expert method anyway, but sometimes a small error gives you trouble: just be aware.
#141 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] File manager delay after boot/login » 2020-12-21 12:35:10
Anyone an idea where to start looking?
Have you tried to start Nautilus from a terminal? May be some message there.
#142 Re: Installation » Iwl4965 and HPdv6000 » 2020-12-13 11:25:55
The problem is very random.
In my experience, random behaviour is very often caused by faulty hardware.
#143 Re: Installation » Iwl4965 and HPdv6000 » 2020-12-11 09:46:41
does not load consistently
Could you support this with some log messages? Or describing the inconsistent behaviour?
#144 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » SOLVED: Bad magic number in super-block » 2020-11-21 16:51:52
Good thing the default is 'Y' so the Enter key is all one needs
The "-y" option is handy too.
#145 Re: Forum Feedback » Forum frequently missing » 2020-11-17 11:54:49
Same behaviour here.
#146 Re: Documentation » HOWOTO: Beowulf LXQt post installation tweeks » 2020-11-12 12:28:52
How about autoselecting the non-HDMI output for "non-"laptops? ALSA doesn't do that.
I dislike "autoselecting". But I can select the non-HDMI output with ALSA configuring it. There are a lot of info about that.
#147 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » SOLVED: KDE: Delete icons from panel and transparent Audio Volume icon » 2020-11-07 08:37:12
right-clicking on the icon does not provide a menu option to remove it.
May be your widgets are locked. Try this:
On the panel, click secundary mouse button, Unlock widgets.
#148 Re: Other Issues » Accidentally caught close terminal whilst running gdebi-gtk » 2020-11-03 21:45:28
I've tried searching the forum using "Alternatives to Virtual Box" but not coming up with anything. ... Do people find Qemu workable?
It seems so:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=19495#p19495
I don't want to go down the VMWare
I dont need VMWare since a lot time. In 2005 I had to buy a license because I did not find an alternative. Not needed anymore. YMMV.

Some evolution . . .
I like it. Thank you for your work.
#150 Re: Other Issues » Accidentally caught close terminal whilst running gdebi-gtk » 2020-10-30 11:06:49
Thanks for replying but that does not work
I'm sorry. It seems to me that your install is kind of broken. Of course you can reinstall (I did it a couple of times years ago), no problem. But most likely it can be fixed.
The file /etc/apt/sources.list should be owned by root. Once that is fixed, you can try the commands that gdebi-gtk suggests.
I think that you are taking about the file virtualbox-6.1_6.1.16-140961~Debian~buster_amd64.deb. It should work on your Beowulf box. I have installed VB from deb archive a lot of times (not on Beowulf): it works, but you need to compile a few kernel modules afterward (there is an assistant for this). If the tildes on the name are a problem, just rename the file after download it again.
Also, you can find in this very forum options to VB. A lot of people here dislike VB and explain alternatives that can work for you.
