#1526 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Dual monitor VM issues with VirtualBox on 3.1.0 » 2021-03-12 07:59:12
That's really good news! You did not specify which iso you used. If you used the minimal-live (which sounds like a good idea) you missed the description on the download page:
A full-featured, console-based recovery tool with a focus on accessibility for visually-impaired and blind users.
We made a special effort to serve that community which is a good thing. In any case, really happy that it worked out for you. I will mark this as solved then.

#1528 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Backup entire installed Beowulf w/software + configs + /home? » 2021-03-12 04:25:32
There is a typo in there. You omitted a space:
.iso> /dev/sdbshould be
.iso > /dev/sdbThat may or may not fix things but give it a try.

Excellent. Please mark this thread as solved.
#1533 Re: Installation » [Closed] Several problems installing 3.1.0 » 2021-03-09 20:26:31
It is a known issue being discussed on dng mail list and elsewhere in this forum. (Too lazy to search)
#1534 Re: Other Issues » [Solved] Dev1Galaxy Login Problem (Palemoon) » 2021-03-09 18:29:12
I use palemoon to access this forum but then I am always logged in with a window open. Have you cleared cookies, cache and history? That might be a good place to start.

#1536 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2021-02-28 21:35:58
systemd is a trojan horse that wants to own and destroy what we have worked for for so long. Are you a trojan troll HoaS?

It's always a good idea to read the Release Notes:

#1538 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2021-02-26 15:51:26
@mckaygerhard . . . if Devuan does not suit you, feel free to go elsewhere.
#1539 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » PulseAudio always resets to mute » 2021-02-26 02:53:55
IIRC it's linked to wayland and not friendly to X11. There was some discussion perhaps here recently. In the meantime from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PipeWire
"One of the initial goals was to improve handling of video on Linux the same way PulseAudio improved handling of audio"
That about says everything . . .
#1540 Re: Devuan » As Debian 11 moves closer to Devuan. Is there any reason to stay on De » 2021-02-25 23:45:59
But from a technical standpoint alone: Is there still any technical advantage over debian 11? What are the reasons to keep Devuan when Debian has the same features?
there is also this mysterious package called "orphan-sysvinit-scripts" which seems like a substitute for some sysd packages. Not sure on that one. https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/or … it-scripts
On one hand, Debian presents the appearance of offering additional init options while at the same time, the sysvinit scripts needed to use those alternate inits are being randomly removed from Debian packages by maintainers as the second GR allows. The "orphan-sysvinit-scripts" collects those discarded scripts so those (now broken) packages will still work with alternate inits. Debian also does not allow alternate inits to be chosen during installation. Devuan filters systemd dependent packages that will not work properly with alternate inits. I can't imagine that Debian has any of those safeguards in place. IOW, to me, Debian's inclusion of alternate inits appears to be more window dressing than a viable and well-supported solution and one that is designed to fail.
#1541 Re: Freedom Hacks » Keeping sysvinit in LMDE3 :) » 2021-02-25 07:32:25
I take it you've seen this article already?
Good news that there is interest in doing this. Almost exactly 3 years ago, I had brief contact with the LM developer and we discussed the possibility of basing LMDE on Devuan. Then I never heard from him again. Now it seems this idea might finally be taking off. Would be great if it happened!

Morty . . . did you actually read daseins post? A lucid analysis of the first GR vote.
#1543 Re: Devuan » As Debian 11 moves closer to Devuan. Is there any reason to stay on De » 2021-02-24 19:43:05
yes sadly the reddit community was/is always heavily biased towards a pro-systemd view. As Debian opens the door to other init systems these opinions will hopefully change. Thanks to you Devuan community. I appreciate that.
My negative response to that thread was not about the pro-systemd bias. That kind of useless yammering is not an environment in which I want to swim. A complete waste of time.
I also dont think the debian votings regarding systemd were fair and many users got mistreated for their opinion in the linux communites. It always felt like a political thing to me. Like a powergrab.
That is an understatement. I think you might not have been around when all that went down so please educate yourself: Combatting Revisionist History
But from a technical standpoint alone: Is there still any technical advantage over debian 11? What are the reasons to keep Devuan when Debian has the same features? Just trying to get some infos to make my decision.
Yes. We have an amazing team that actually collaborates and solves problems collaboratively with egos left at the door.
#1544 Re: Devuan » Meet Chimaera's deepsea theme » 2021-02-24 07:59:28
Well, this theme has traveled a twisty road. I have just posted the (hopefully) final palette for the deepsea theme in the first post of this thread. More screenies to follow.

Now I know why I don't hang out on reddit.
Trust is a fragile thing and not easy to repair.
If you hang around here for a while maybe you will understand why Devuan is so special . . . or maybe not. It's about more than code . . .
#1546 Re: Installation » Devuan icon » 2021-02-14 02:51:26
Yes, there are square ones and round ones. Glad you could find them as they are rather buried in git, It's always good to make it your own!

I LOVE the Gemini project. Devuan is well familiar with this project and gopher also. Thanks for bringing it to the attention of our forum users.
