Hi all! Recently joined the Devuan community. I want to install yaru-gtk-theme.
As I understand it, this topic is related specifically to Ubuntu, so I want to ask whether it is worth installing this topic and the following Yaru:

Is this theme and its other components like yaru-theme-gnome-shell/stable compatible?

What is compatible with? With Devuan?

This thread
I do two things on each new install:

  • 1. security

     chmod 700 /home/*/ 

The main problem I can think of is that that command will set the execute bit on all files, even those that aren’t executable.  So, if you have a file called foo, and someday you want to do cat foo or print foo and you accidentally type just foo, the shell will try to execute foo; i.e., interpret it as a shell script. 

This will probably just explode in your face harmlessly, but if foo contains anything that looks like a shell command, you could get harmful results.

A lesser issue is that if you have a file that you want to preserve, and last year you did a

chmod 444

to protect it from yourself,

the chmod 700

will restore your write bit, and make it easier for you to clobber the file accidentally.

The solution to both issues is to do

chmod go= -R ~

or

chmod go-rwx -R ~

which will turn off all bits for group and others, but leave your access alone.

I really don't recommend you do that, ie. download themes from unknown sources. For starters, before you gain experience, install themes from the official Devuan  repository.

what should I do?

Hello.

Please, check, maybe this dir (.themes) already exist.

Open a terminal and type

ls -a

If this dir does not exist, create this dir with command:

$ mkdir .themes

You can search for the gtk3 themes with simple command:

$ apt search gtk3 | less

You can scroll up or down with arrow keys.

Using this method, you will easily find the gtk 3 theme you need.

For example, if I want to install

darkfire-gtk-theme

the following commands must be used:

sudo apt update

sudo apt install darkfire-gtk-theme

#189 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] Keyboard issue, theme installation » 2023-09-07 11:29:40

Hello.

You shouldn't play with the root directory. Especially with files downloaded from unknown sources. Considering you have no experience with Unix systems, I would advise you to install the theme you downloaded into your user home directory.

I would advise to make everything much simpler

Create dir

$mkdir .themes

And put extracted files to that folder.

P.S.

I also suggest you to search for themes in the official Devuan package repository. It really has a lot of good themes, which, by the way, are properly tested and compatible with the current version of Devuan.

#191 Re: Other Issues » [SOLVED] (username) is not in the sudoers file. » 2023-08-23 16:01:09

Hello.

Once logged in as a user, you can verify whether or not the user belongs to group=sudo using either the id or groups commands. E.g., a user with id=foo should see output from

$ groups

like

foo sudo

If sudo is not present in the output, the user does not belong to that group.

To add an existing user with id=foo to group=sudo:

get root and then run the command:

# adduser foo sudo

After being added to a new group the user must log out and then log back in again for the new group to take effect.

Hi,

Hello.

According this https://www.devuan.org/get-devuan info, server cd sets contains:

(~670 MB): CD1 of a 4 CD set that allows for a complete off-line server/minimal installation. The remaining CDs offer several desktop choices and a limited selection of additional software.

CD2: Xfce (installable from tasksel) and LXDE.
CD3: MATE (installable from tasksel) and Openbox window manager.
CD4: Cinnamon (installable from tasksel) but requires CD2 and CD3 to install.

#194 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » nvidia-persistenced failed to initialize » 2023-08-19 11:27:05

I found a much simpler way to avoid this problem with

nvidia-persistenced

Since this package is not needed by many, the easy way is as follows.

1. Install the required nvidia driver (in my case, the driver I need is nvidia-tesla-470-driver, because my video card does not support a higher version driver), using the command

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends

The list of recommended packages includes the

nvidia-settings-tesla-470

package, which can be installed with the simple command

sudo apt install nvidia-settings-tesla-470

Using this method avoids installing the nvidia-persistenced package.

Hello. Please, fix your web site, because when I try to enter your website, the firefox browser says that secure access is not possible. The browser prompts you to go to a website that uses the http protocol. Which is not good from a security point of view

#199 Documentation » How to: Devuan 5 Daedalus an pipewire » 2023-08-16 16:13:50

stopAI
Replies: 95

Why pipewire? Because, it is considerably more reliable, and is a comfortable drop-in replacement for many use-cases.

How to install and start using pipewire?

It's very simple. First it is recommended to install the metapackage

pipewire-audio

which depends on wireplumber (the recommended session manager), pipewire-pulse (to replace PulseAudio), pipewire-alsa (ALSA) and libspa-0.2-bluetooth (for Bluetooth support). Moreover, installing this metapackage will remove pulseaudio to prevent any conflicts between both sound server.

Next, put these lines to your

.xsessionrc

file

wireplumber &

pipewire &

pipewire-pulse &

Attention! Order is important here!

After installing these packages and configuring your xsession, it is recommended to reboot the system.

P.S.

I also recommend installing a package called

pavucontrol

which makes it easy to adjust the audio outputs.
