#151 Desktop and Multimedia » Where does the Shiny windows borders theme come from? » 2019-09-27 22:09:19

I happen to like blue frame windows borders themes, for example, MATE's TraditionalOK and antiX's Clearview Medium Blue. Devuan Cinnamon has Shiny, one I've never seen before. Is this a Devuan-only theme? What package is it in? Is it in metacity-theme-1.xml format?
#152 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Cannot install driver for ASUS USB AC55 B1 » 2019-09-27 20:17:21
Sorry, I should have mentioned the tar error. I ran install.sh after commenting those lines out, but I got the same error. There seems to be a difference in the way Ubuntu/LinuxMint and Debian/Devuan extract files, so I went into each directory and extracted them all manually.
I tried the apt line, but got the following:
user@intel60:~$ sudo apt install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[sudo] password for user:

E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-4.9.0-6-amd64'
user@intel60:~$
Then I used Synaptic to install build-essential and the linux-headers entries that seemed to be related to amd64. The make error is a little different now:

It seems like it's expecting something in build, but how could that be?
And I just tried to install it on SparkyLinux, which is based on Debian. I got the exact same error.
#153 Hardware & System Configuration » Cannot install driver for ASUS USB AC55 B1 » 2019-09-27 18:44:05

I have a working LinuxMint system. I was able to install the driver for ASUS USB AC55 B1 by two simple actions: chmod install.sh to be executable and set the top level directory name to what install.sh thinks it should be (the latter's a bug). I thought for sure I could do the same thing on Devuan given how related Ubuntu, LinuxMint, Debian, and Devuan are. But on Devuan, error messages complain about the makefile. I added an ls to install.sh to make sure it was in the proper directory. The output is below. I realize this isn't strictly a Devuan thing; more of a Unix/Linux thing, I assume it has to do with how Ubuntu/LinuxMint handles shell scripts versus Debian/Devuan. I tried it both with sudo and su. Could someone give me a hint as to what's wrong?

#154 Re: Installation » Install otter-browser via CreatePackageFromPPA » 2019-07-16 16:52:28
Thanks for the reply, but the reason I hoped that I could convert a PPA is that I looked at the installation instructions at
https://github.com/OtterBrowser/otter-b … INSTALL.md
and could not understand what header files needed to go where. I have done some C programming, but the instructions assume a lot.

First, I realize Devuan is not Debian. But still, most Debian techniques work in Devuan.
I tried to install otter-browser via CreatePackageFromPPA which is described at https://wiki.debian.org/CreatePackageFromPPA.
The first command went fine: apt install devscripts build-essential software-properties-common
But the second had some errors: add-apt-repository --enable-source ppa:otter-browser/release
sp = SoftwareProperties(options=options)
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 109, in __init__
self.reload_sourceslist()

self.distro.get_sources(self.sourceslist)

(self.id, self.codename))
aptsources.distro.NoDistroTemplateException: Error: could not find a distribution template for Devuan/ascii
Is there any way around this?
#156 Re: Installation » Xfce: TraditionalOK from mate-themes should be blue, but it's black » 2019-07-13 19:39:40
Yes, quite right, thanks for the answer. Switching back-and-forth between Cinnamon, LXDE (Sparky Linux), and Xfce sometimes causes me confusion.

I always set the theme to TraditionalOk from mate-themes, which turns the top frame blue. I hate dark themes. I just installed an Xfce system and set the widgets to TraditionalOk, but the top frame is black. Does Devuan not support metacity-theme-1.xml format?
#158 Re: Installation » Adding packages require CD-ROM? » 2017-09-11 17:35:47
Okay, I looked at /etc/apt/sources.list and saw that lines referencing updates and security were already present, but there were two identical lines of code referencing CD-ROM, with the first being commented out and the second not. Methinks one of the CD-ROM lines needs to be deleted in the distribution. After I commented out the second CD-ROM line, I was able to install packages online. Thanks to golinux and FOSSuser for their assistance.
#159 Re: Installation » Adding packages require CD-ROM? » 2017-09-11 00:57:48
devuan_jessie_1.0.0_amd64_DVD.iso was what I downloaded and used to install the LXDE desktop. This was on a separate, wiped drive, not on a dual-boot. I have used Rufus for years with Linux Mint, Fedora, Lubuntu, and other distributions with no trouble. I will add the three lines of code and try again, thanks.

I made a LiveUSB using Rufus, my usual tool. I was able to install Devuan. But then when I tried to add some packages, any packages, I was asked to insert the CD-ROM. I inserted the LiveUSB, but that wasn't good enough. Is there a workaround to either get packages online or use the LiveUSB?
