Sorry I can't answer the installer questions . . .

#1977 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » wvdial - solved » 2019-09-26 14:43:42

It wouldn't be in devuan-packages because we pull it directly from Debian unaltered.   It most certainly can be accessed through the Devuan repos.

Steve Reich - Music for 18 Musicians

Live version shows visual relationship of the musicians but has technical "warts" here and there.

Just surrender and swim in it.

this doesn't answer my question but I guess thank you?
I read the info, i selected the cd rom set, the install never asked for the second nor third iso cdrom.

The installer would probably ask for the second or third iso if the selections you made required packages from them.

#1980 Re: Installation » Devuan ASCII on Lenovo T430 » 2019-09-26 01:49:36

Please read the ISO guide on the index page of the Devuan website that will help you to choose the iso that best suits your needs.

No.  We are currently trying to put out a point release with current upgrades.  Hopefully won't take too long.  The point release will be announced here and on all other communication channels.

If Debian should go systemd init only, will the Devuan development team be able to handle the added work of providing a systemd-free OS still based on Debian?

The elogind package which is the source of the linked problem was originally packaged up by Devuan and is also used by Gentoo so it should continue to work even if Debian drop it.

IIRC, Devuan got elongind from gentoo.  gentoo didn't get it from us.  Maybe I'm misreading . . .

#1984 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » mate-power-manager » 2019-09-23 17:59:24

You already mixed Debian testing (Bullseye) with Devuan testing (Beowulf which is based on Buster).  And with Ceres in the mix you're pulling from 3 Debian-based repositories . . . 4 if you include antix.

"chromium field-trial testing" processes can bring chromium to it's knees.  It's been on my list for months (maybe closer to a year) to investigate further.  I found a treasure trove of information in WTF, Chromium?.   In that rant, there is a link to List of Chromium Command Line Switches.  Great, that looks useful and even contains one to #disable-field-trial-config.   Problem is, I haven't a clue how to get from point A to point B so hoping someone here can lead me through the fog.  Thanks.

#1990 Re: Installation » Devuan installing - Where's the option to install openrc by default » 2019-09-20 19:02:53

I believe an "expert" install is required to see that option.

Actually, I was not speaking about light on resources but unobtrusive visually.  wink  That's one honkin' humongous popup!  This is not in any way to suggest you change a thing.  I was just messin' with you a bit . . .  big_smile  It's a brilliant execution of a function that many will find useful.

#1992 Re: Devuan Derivatives » [MiyoLinux] Update on the Update Notifier » 2019-09-18 22:40:30

If I were to use it  . . . the lighter the better.  Nags even for good things should be minimal.  I demand it in my world.

#1993 Re: Devuan » Devuan dual monitor strange problem. » 2019-09-18 00:23:25

What release are you on - jessie, ascii or beowulf (which has not been officially released and still has bugs).   Using backports?  Mixing repos? There's a lot of important info missing in your description of the problem.

#1994 Re: DIY » systemd users » 2019-09-17 21:29:39

I thought there was a command in dev1fanboy's instructions to remove systemd cruft.

#1995 Re: DIY » systemd users » 2019-09-17 19:18:44

You didn't say what you migrated from/to.  Did you follow these basic instructions?  Each release might require some slightly different procedures.
