I'm sure that it will eventually return. Be patient . . .

Welcome Roger. You can also transition your current installations to Devuan. There is documentation on the download page and ask here or on the dng mail list if you have questions.

#2080 Re: Installation » Which installer should I use? » 2019-04-04 10:29:48
32-bit systems are limited to 4GiB of memory (regardless of PAE) but I am presuming that your machine doesn't have more than that.
Hmmm . . . I just went to 8gb of memory on a 32bit pae kernel and it often shows more than 4gb in use. Will have to keep an eye on that when I get home.

Heck no! I'm on my way to AMS in a few hours. No time for such stupidity.

gmail can be a problem. Last fall we had a flurry of complaints about email messages bouncing. You have a different issue but this reply by Rick Moen might give you some ideas where to start dealing with your isp. Please forgive me if I'm totally off-base.

The desire for harmful, unjust things is a fatal flaw of our species. And we never seem to learn . . .
#2088 Re: Devuan » Using Debian packages » 2019-03-30 13:51:08
^ Well I couldn't find a snapd package in the Devuan repositories
That's because it's on the banned packages list. Really, who needs "backassed" (thanks Ralph) pkgs like that.
#2089 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Mate panel lockups » 2019-03-29 22:24:18
What's elogind?
This should give you an idea. Among other things, in beowulf, it allows for the removal of libsystemd0.
#2090 Re: Devuan » Using Debian packages » 2019-03-29 15:52:58
Lysander . . . Third party repos are always a bit of a risk. Take care.
#2091 Re: Devuan » Devuan's planetary theming » 2019-03-26 15:27:02
OK, so I see one of the devs is an astronomer, is there any other reason? Is it because Devuan is 'out of this world' [or something like that]?
This was discussed extensively on the DNG mail list where many suggestions were offered. You can find those posts in the archive. One of the main reasons we use the names of minor planets is that there is a minor planet named Jessie so that made a neat segue into the fork from Debian Jessie to Devuan Jessie. Many of us are trekkies and we forked around the time of Lenoard Nemoy's death. We actually used the Vulcan hand gesture on a bright red background for our very first iso splash screen. There are also a LOT of minor planet names to choose from.
Also, the 'D' of Devuan is highly stylised. Does it represent a comet or a planet in orbit?
It is the orbit of Ceres.
Debian's logo has caused a lot of speculation over time but now we know more or less what it means and exactly how it was created [if you don't know how, it's hilarious]. It would be good to clear up any confusion about the Devuan logo and thematic. Apologies if I have missed any already-existent information.
There was a "contest" which didn't produce a "winner" even though some of the suggestions were quite nice. But once the planetary theme was chosen, none of those was really relevant.
Then there was work on our gitlab. The genesis started here then moved to here.
*edit* Just found the Vulcan spash screen tucked away in an old gitlab issue
#2092 Re: Off-topic » Show your desktop (rebooted) » 2019-03-25 20:00:56
LOL! I totally forgot about those dependencies. If you had Clearlooks-Phenix-DarkPurpy or ascii desktop-base installed it should have pulled them in. The packagers take care of all that when my job is finished:
gtk2-engines
gtk2-engines-xfce
gtk3-engines-xfce
Note that I have not yet gotten to the OpenBox theme so it's still darkpurpy palette.
Just last night my beowulf lost the ability to put a background on the desktop. Still trying to sort that.
#2093 Re: Off-topic » Show your desktop (rebooted) » 2019-03-25 18:46:48
Hello zephyr, great to see you too!
I've ugraded to beowulf:
And lost libsystemd0 in the process :-)
My compliments to the devs.
Nice!! 
But you still have the ASCII theming! The "bloody" beowulf theme parts are here. Screenshots too up top. The very helpful ToZ at the Xfce forum just gave me a snippet that fixed the final gtk-3 glitch in the Clearlooks-Phenix-Cinnabar theme. Give me a few to get that uploaded.
*edit* New zip uploaded.
#2094 Re: Installation » mini.iso 16-2-2019 BUG does not install on M2 disks » 2019-03-25 04:18:07
do you use the package reportbug or the package reportbug-ng?
And the mini_16-2-2019.iso is not a package. how do you report it?
You can report a bug to https://bugs.devuan.org/ I find it easiest to sent a report directly by email. There is a link to the instructions on the index page.

LightDM backgrounds go in /usr/share/images/desktop-base. The easiest way to get the images used is to change the names to greeter-wide-large.png and greeter-narrow-large.png, after saving the originals of course.
I think the "proper" way use the new beo- file names is to alter the /etc/alternatives/desktop-lightdm-background symlink to point to the new name.
Thanks dxrobertson. I seem to remember that from years ago. One other thing I do is to overwrite the current default themes for grub and slim keeping the old names because they are so intertwined with desktop-base etc. With the the desktop stuff, renaming is no issue. Hopefully there will be installable deb files before too long.
#2096 Re: Devuan » Meet cinnabar (Beowulf default theme) » 2019-03-24 06:29:22
Here are the various parts of the cinnabar theme for those who want to give it a spin. You'll have to add them manually.
https://dev1galaxy.org/files/cinnabar-grub.zip - Boot screen. Goes in /usr/share/desktop-base
https://dev1galaxy.org/files/cinnabar-slim.zip - Graphics for slim login - Goes in /usr/share/slim/themes/
https://dev1galaxy.org/files/cinnabar_lightDM.zip - Graphics for lightDM login. Not quite sure where this goes and too tired to poke around.
https://dev1galaxy.org/files/cinnabar_wallpaper.zip There are several places these can go. Pick your favorite spot.
https://dev1galaxy.org/files/CPC-final.zip - Clearlooks-Phenix-Cinnabar window theme. Goes in /usr/share/themes Be sure to choose it in Applications > settings > Appearance and Window Manager
https://dev1galaxy.org/files/cinnabar-g … ons.tar.gz - Goes in /usr/share/icons. Be sure to choose it in Applications > settings > Appearance > Icons Extract the cinnabar-gnome-icons using this command which will preserve the inode- sym links tar xvzfh cinnabar-gnome-icons.tar.gz
https://dev1galaxy.org/files/52gtk3-noo … lbar-nocsd - Fixes the disappearing scrollbar. Goes in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/
https://dev1galaxy.org/files/beo-gdo-32dk.png - icon for panel "Applications". Change under Properties.
Enjoy!
#2097 Re: Devuan » Meet cinnabar (Beowulf default theme) » 2019-03-23 15:47:23
Excellent theme and very befitting of the distro name for 3.0. Looks almost battlelike.
Very perceptive, Lysander. You totally understand my thought process in choosing that palette. I should really post access to all the pieces so folks can test it. It's on my list.
#2098 Re: Other Issues » Question about versions » 2019-03-20 15:59:47
I like Devuan and will go with it, barring the very unlikely event that there is a program that I absolutely need, but is linked to kde or some other desktop.
Huh? Sure, you can install KDE apps on Devuan provided they are not tied to systemd or apps from any other desktop for that matter. I no longer install KDE apps because it pulls in too much of KDE and bloats my system but I do run several apps from Mate.

#2100 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Avidemux and h264enc » 2019-03-18 21:49:08
Off topic . . . personal rant.
I have used avidemux for over a decade to edit video with great success, Then they went to qt then they dropped the fade filter then went to using time instead of frames so all that frame-based work is no longer compatible with their latest and greatest. I was not happy about that. They used to have a flatpak which was the first I'd heard of it. Read what a flatpak was, said no thank you and decided to stick with an older version from Wheezy on jessie until it refuses to work anymore.
