That might work if hmj was using grub but according to the post immediately above yours, (s)he is using lilo.

yep

Good that you found the culprit.  It really isn't a good idea to have deb-multimedia in your sources.  Especially uncommented.   That could put you in a world of hurt.

One other thing . . . country codes aren't really available on Devuan.  Besides that, there is no US mirror!  The round robin at deb.devuan.org is the best option.

I shall lean to creating a git.

Excellent.

Not an expert but I wonder how it's pulled into the Beowulf installation that I am running.  Probably a manual install I did loads it up in the package management...?

I wonder what is in your sources.list.

golinux, can you help with the team in porting veromix in future releases?

The Devuan team's job is to provide Debian without a dependency on systemd.  Our job is not to port everyone's favorite app to Devuan.  Users are welcome to do that themselves and share it on Devuan's git if they have an itch.

#1807 Re: Installation » Security Updates for Beowulf not installed automatically » 2020-03-03 22:48:40

auto.mirror has been deprecated for a long time.  Also Country Codes are not currently available for Devuan.  Please try deb.devuan.org to see if that fixes things.

#1808 Re: Off-topic » deb.sury.org now requires systemd » 2020-03-02 00:49:30

Yes, Devuan needs long-term commitment from its users if it is going to survive.   That's not someone else's job.  Every user should do their part.

#1809 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] B360M-C Motherboard Installation » 2020-02-28 15:44:07

Never EVER use Debian repos directly.  That could put you in a world of hurt. Devuan package repositories are exclusive. Other repositories, including Debian, Ubuntu, Mint etc, should NOT be used directly.

Also Devuan recommends using the codename (jessie, ascii, beowulf, ceres) rather than the suite (oldstable, stable, testing, unstable) in /etc/apt/sources.list entries. Please go to Devuan Release Information for more details.

https://pkginfo.devuan.org/ is an excellent resource to discover what is available in the Devuan repos.  Also https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt for what will break Devuan.

#1811 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » SOLVED: Temporary failure resolving http://us.deb.devuan.org » 2020-02-17 01:14:26

pkgmaster is the source for all the mirrors.  If it is used in sources.list, it will put on an extra load and could slow down the frequent mirror updates

#1812 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » SOLVED: Temporary failure resolving http://us.deb.devuan.org » 2020-02-16 23:17:11

There is no US mirror and County Codes (CC) are currently deprecated in Devuan.  Use the round-robin pool of repositories at “deb.devuan.org” via http not https.  The Beowulf installer has corrected this confusion.

Thanks for the reply. I looked at Distrowatch which did not include Budgie as a desktop, but then again Distrowatch is hardly definitive.

I had never heard of budgie till your post and I've been working on Devuan since the fork.

I found two ISOs that look promising, netinst and minimal. Is the latter an Openbox installation? I'd prefer to not install a complex desktop I will never use. Openbox is just enough to get around.

Please reference the index page of the devuan.org website for a description of the various isos,

Also from the Devuan.org website:

Desktop Environments     Default: Xfce
Alternate: Cinnamon, KDE, LXQt, MATE
Others: available post-install

Note that there is an openbox theme in the clearlooks-phenix-darkpurpy and -cinnabar to coordinate with the release's default color theme.

#1814 Re: Devuan » Devuan Wallpapers » 2020-02-15 21:13:27

OMG!  That is from 5 years ago when we were just starting to create the signature Devuan graphics.  That thread was concluded elsewhere because it was getting too long to load properly.   There is at least one other thread also specifically about desktop background.  I have the link(s) if anyone is interested.   All the currently relevant graphic-related stuff has been moved to here:

#1816 Re: Devuan » Devuan Wallpapers » 2020-02-14 20:58:20

You might consider that Devuan offers desktop images in these sizes to accommodate all screen sizes:
wide-large    2560 x 1600
wide-small    1280 x 800
narrow-large  2560 x 1920
narrow-small  1280 x 960

#1817 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » [Solved] Font rendering? » 2020-02-13 17:25:44

In Xfce Jessie the option is "anti-aliasing".  I also use "slight" hinting and find it helps to use a semibold font like Open Sans.

#1818 Re: Off-topic » MATE 1.24 elogind support » 2020-02-12 17:12:24

Thanks.  Good to know as I use pluma on Xfce.

Enough is enough.  There is lack of self-control all the way around.  Please consider adulthood as an option.

Free cynwulf from what?   That was nearly 10 years ago over at FDN.  He self-exiled himself from this forum where he is still an active member.

Exactly which file is giving you a problem?  Please post the git url. Those files open just fine here.

I'm genuinely curious as to why an optional added feature for an init system you don't even use elicits "blistering condemnation". It's quite bizarre.

pulseaudio also used to be "optional".  'nuf said.
