So I take it you're volunteering then? Thanks!
I can try but I need some guidance on basically... everything!

I am using lightdm now, but I should try the old method... I would be totally fine with starting with a console login... it is more nerdy!

Do you remember the "Debian GNU/kFreeBSD" project? It was closed for lack of volunteers but I think it was a great idea.
It would be fantastic if Devuan could inherit and revive this project!
Devuan GNU/kFreeBSD just the name rocks!
#154 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » PulseAudio always resets to mute » 2021-02-16 07:32:07
This is unacceptable.
Unacceptable is your behavior. Did you pay anything for using Devuan that made you believe that having a bug is unacceptable?
Anyway these kind of issues are usually in the .xsession-errors file in your homes, maybe you can find there what is preventing to save your preferences.
#155 Re: Devuan » Debian getting closer to Devuan » 2021-02-16 00:45:16
Nice, didn't about this synergy!
I'd like to contribute with Devuan with some documentation which is the weakest point of Debian and by some extension also for Devuan, I am just a desktop user with very few spare time available but I would like to see what I can do. Where could I start? Is there like a to-do-list where I might select some topics and starting work on them?
Thanks,
D.

Hi Folks,
I have just noticed the "Debian Ecosystem Init Diversity Team" started adding elogind and other packages that should be help Debian being more init agnostic, what does it mean for the Devuan project? Does this step by Debian change anything from the Devuan side?
Thanks,
D.

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!

Nice, today I felt its lacking... I would like to switch to another account to make my son finish his homework but I couldn't. I had to close my session and open his session...

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.
#161 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
#163 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...
#164 Re: Installation » Getting Bluetooth Working » 2020-12-07 09:04:21
I am in both bluetooth and netdev groups but at the first instance blueman crashes, the only way to make it work on my laptop it through these commands (I use an alias):

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.

I had just found the workaround:
sudo rmmod btusb
sudo modprobe btusb
sudo service bluetooth restartIt turned on my bluetooth controller and I could use my bt hearphone.
#172 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [SOLVED] Bluetooth not working » 2020-09-19 14:06:28
I missed some steps when I messed up Firefox, I can't get working the bluetooth again... /(ToT)\
#173 Re: Devuan » Devuan + s6? » 2020-09-18 06:00:10
You should take a look at Obarun has a better implementation of S6 than Artix.
#174 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...
