The kernel has been completely pwned by the corporations: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/about/board/
Haiku is looking really good these days...
Haiku is pretty good but lacks GPU acceleration yet, they tried with a GSOC program to get closer but the student missed the goal... It looks like also the guy behind the Haiku kernel has been employed by Gugl to work over the Phucsia kernel...

Thanks to all, I installed it and everything works like a charm!

Hi folks,
I have a question, I thought that Ligthdm wasn't available by default on Debian because systemd but I just checked it out and none a systemd's dependency is required:
apt install lightdm accountsservice xserver-xephyr -s
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
libaccountsservice0 liblightdm-gobject-1-0 libxcb-xv0 lightdm-gtk-greeter
Suggested packages:
gnome-control-center
The following NEW packages will be installed:
accountsservice libaccountsservice0 liblightdm-gobject-1-0 libxcb-xv0
lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter xserver-xephyrHow however I may be wrong, so can I install lightdm safely on my system?
Thanks in advance,
D.
#130 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » SLIM session issue when log-out and log-in » 2021-01-04 06:56:03
I see... Thanks for the explanation... Indeed Slim is pretty dead but, don't know why, I just thought that someone at Devuan could just taking care of it...
I am fine with SLIM, as login manager it does a lot of thing that otherwise I should setting up by myself, I'll reboot and shutdown from the terminal if I need to do so.

Hi folks,
is there a reason why if you log-out and log-in with SLIM you can not restart or shutdown the computer through the XFCE4 menu or panel action button?
This is not a big a deal but it is annoying...
Thanks,
Danielsan
#132 Desktop and Multimedia » Docklike a new dock for XFCE4 » 2020-12-10 05:24:36

Hi guys,
I already post this in the XFCE4 forum but really anyone care about this amazing dock for XFCE4: https://github.com/nsz32/docklike-plugin
This is something that I have been waiting for a very long time, and I am very happy, hope it will be included in the official goodies.
For me what is just lacking is a proper expose function like skyppi-xd (which is quite buggy too), the XFCE activity plugin is uncomfortable exactly as the one of Gnome3.
Anyway to compile it on Debian/Devuan these are the recommended packages:
libxfce4panel-2.0-dev xfce4-dev-tools libxfce4ui-2-dev libwnck-3-devI have been using it for a couple and I pretty satisfied, I already changed my desktop setup, I don't need anymore a panel with the quick launcher, I am very happy...

Hi folks,
as per the subject line:
How much is delayed Devuan testing from Debian testing?
For instance I had Thunderbird updated to version 78 on Debian testing more than a week ago, while on Devuan it is still on Ceres...
Just curiosity,
Thanks.

You should take a look at Obarun has a better implementation of S6 than Artix.
#143 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Bluetooth not working » 2020-09-16 05:31:50
Sorry I had a long reply but I messed up with Firefox and lost everything...
I used the bluetoothctl command to activate the discoverability of the bluetooth and then I was able to connect to my headphone with the Blueman applet.
1. bluetoothctl
2. discovarable on
3. scan on (to test it)
4. quit
That's it...

I have never used conmann, and I learned about it recently while I was testing Artix Linux, but I never liked also WICD, I always found it quite unreliable that usually I uninstall it. I would like to try conmann and I would like to know if any of you have some experience to share with all of us!

Hi folks,
I just noticed that wireless connections, wifi and bluetooth, don't work. The wifi was fixed just reinstalling the iwlwifi-firmware package but the bluetooth is still not working and I don't understand why... Bluetooth works always fine with this laptop with Debian Testing and POP!_os as well, hence I am quite surprised.

Hi Folks,
my debugging abilities are very limited but I am, at least, able to move across terminal outputs and logs and catch some bug/warning/issue.
For instance I think I found some issue related with OpenRc and BTRFS in that case where should I report that bug to Devuan or to Debian? How can I understand/know when a bug is specific for Devuan and when it is not?
Thanks,
D.
#149 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Choosing an email client » 2020-09-08 13:37:34
I have been using Thunderbird on every platforms since ever, and in my experience it is the only one able to handle responsively a huge database; the other fails (including Outlook every version) no matter what. Evolution, Geary, Claws get stuck at a certain point. Evolution also requires a lot Gnome's components running in background I would recommend it only for Gnome users.
The extensions are a plus, I need just six for my setup. I think Thunderbird is a reliable and professional tools, he can be used also in a enterprise environment and surely I suggest it for small and medium business.

These might be on some help:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=20903#p20903
- my fixed version of /etc/init.d/nvidia-persistenced.
and
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=20917#p20917
- which explains that you can probably also get away with simply removing or disabling nvidia-persistenced as for most use cases it's not needed unless you want to use CUDA.
Oh thanks!
Actually I want use CUDA for Blender...
EDIT
Oh boy you are a genius... I would really like being able to open a code, understand it, and eventually fix it!!!
