(ignore the Devuan web page).
@rolfie . . . please explain what needs to be corrected. I updated the pages before I posted this thread. Maybe I missed something. I should probably add a specific note about the round-robin requiring http here and on the website.
#1802 Re: News & Announcements » sources.list confusion. » 2020-01-25 21:17:48
IIRC the round-robin uses http not https.

Hear ye, hear ye intrepid Devuan users!!
Please use deb.devuan.org in your sources list with http NOT https. It is a round-robin of all available Devuan package mirrors.
Country Codes do not work properly so do not use them.
We will let you know if that changes.
Please use the release name - jessie, ascii, beowulf - rather than the suite name - oldstable, stable, testing - for reasons explained in the Release Information.
Finally . . . all Devuan mirrors pull from pkgmaster.devuan.org so please do not add extra load by using it in your sources.list. Use the round-robin - deb.devuan.org - instead.

Country codes are not working in Devuan. Please use deb.devuan.org in your sources.list.

Good grief. Get a grip. You are not the oracle of truth to anyone but yourself which is an audience of one. Do you not have any place else to troll?

FYI, we do have blind users on Devuan. And the speakup community was consulted when the minimal-live iso was designed. Perhaps something is getting lost in translation. I do not always understand what you are trying to say like "sothen" in the topic of this thread.

Let's do explore this further, dzz. I'm hoping that fsmithred weighs in on this tomorrow. Just ;like old times, huh . . .
#1809 Re: Devuan » make TDE desktop default and sothen devuan as different distro option » 2020-01-21 03:14:50
Trinity is available in the Devuan derivative Exe GNU/Linux - http://exegnulinux.net
And is already packaged, working, supported and documented by TDE for all Devuan systems including Beowulf and Ceres https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/DevuanInstall
ExeGNU (which tracks current Devuan) includes a custom selected "minimal" TDE (and openbox) plus some custom scripts, packages and defaults.
Devuan mainstream didn't actually reject TDE but at this point probably has other priorities..
Thanks for the update dzz. Wish that we would see you here more often. 
If the work is done, I don't see why your TDE couldn't be added to the list of Desktop options as aitor and AntoFox have done. It might have to be prepared in a certain way and code in Devuan's git . . . I'm not quite sure how that works. I can bring it up at the next dev meet if you like. It is probably too late for Beowulf but could certainly be considered for Chimaera. Please let me know.
#1810 Re: Off-topic » Xfce 4.15 and client-side decorations (CSD) » 2020-01-20 21:28:52
HoaS . . . I posted that thread to make all the moving parts available for testing/use before Clearlooks-Phenix-Cinnabar was packaged.
#1811 Re: Off-topic » Xfce 4.15 and client-side decorations (CSD) » 2020-01-20 21:26:04
I worked that out on the Xfce forums. Have gotten some great help there undoing some GTK3 nastiness, The gtk3-nocsd package is in the Devuan repos.
#1812 Re: Off-topic » Xfce 4.15 and client-side decorations (CSD) » 2020-01-20 21:12:40
bgstack15 . . . the gtk3-nocsd was created to eliminate the disappearing scrollbars in the Clearlooks-Phenix-* theming for ascii and beowulf. Looks like it is still here but check to make sure that it hasn't been tweaked since I posted that in this thread. Maybe fsmithred will stop by with the latest update.
#1813 Re: Devuan » make TDE desktop default and sothen devuan as different distro option » 2020-01-20 18:56:31
Devuan are not a solution for blind persons or end users.. sorry guys but.. that's not a path!
Wrong (as so much else in your post). Devuan's minimal-live iso is customized to meet the needs of blind and visually impaired users. If you don't like Devuan you have plenty of other choices.
#1814 Re: Devuan » make TDE desktop default and sothen devuan as different distro option » 2020-01-20 17:38:00
We discussed having Trinity in Devuan years ago. It never went anywhere. Trinity is available in the Devuan derivative Exe GNU/Linux - http://exegnulinux.net
Feel free to package Trinity for Devuan and we will consider including it. If Xfce goes south I suspect we might move to a WM rather than full-blown desktop as the default.

Code tags would be more readable than quote tags.
Just fixed that. 
Sidenote . . . My brief encounter with Ubuntu about 15 years ago quickly cured me of the sudo thing.
#1816 Re: Installation » Mate: Ascii to Beowulf Migration » 2020-01-19 08:07:57
Why didn't you use ascii 2.1? It was released 2 months ago.
#1817 Re: Installation » installing nvidia drivers on ascii 2.1 » 2020-01-16 04:00:11
Oh, and I did have nvidia driver installed using sgfxi for awhile yesterday. That installed a version 440-something, and it was interesting watching that script resolve a lot of issues as they were encountered.
Yes, that script is very clever at getting nVidia installed and blacklisting nouveau etc.

#1819 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Bug tracking system access problems » 2020-01-14 16:22:04
Use chromium or palemoon or [your alternate browser of choice] until we work around the after-migration glitches.
#1820 Re: Installation » installing nvidia drivers on ascii 2.1 » 2020-01-11 16:23:18
I have been holding my tongue as this suggestion offers (or at least used to offer) a painless solution for the technically challenged. At one time I had an nVidia card, maybe 8-10 years ago, and sgfxi installed it perfectly and painlessly. I have no idea if that is still the case but might be worth a try.

Looks like your email finally got through to the list. There are 3 failed over-sized instances in moderation. I will delete unless you give me a reason not to.

Yes. Me. OK, the messages are in moderation because they are over the 40 KB size limit. Can you trim them a bit?
