#2076 Re: Devuan » Why are pulseaudio files present in Devuan? » 2019-03-13 23:38:20
I have not yet had to deal with that - still on Jessie. On more recent FF versions where pulseaudio is a hard dependency, libpulse0 won't save you. But do not despair. apulse will get alsa back on FF. There are instructions here and there on how to do this (too lazy to go do the legwork).

How's me being new at Devuan forums relates to actual matters of discussion?
If you have to ask that question, it's unlikely you'd understand the answer.
#2078 Re: Devuan » Someone had a how make devuan which specific packages? » 2019-03-13 16:44:29
Hi,
Devuan has its own devuan-sdk:
which is a tool to create different kinds of Devuan-based images. In your case, you can create a live image by using live-sdk. It comes with two pre-defined "blends" (desktop-live and minimal-live). It's an easy and extremely customisable way of getting your own live Devuan derivative.
HTH
KatolaZ
Indeed. inukaze be careful who you take advice from.
#2079 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Problem with mounting partitions » 2019-03-13 16:41:38
ToxicExMachina, why would you advise someone to follow an (in your words) incorrect method to mount a partition?
Indeed. RIA77 . . . listen carefully to KatolaZ not someone who just dropped in here a few days ago and is new to Devuan.

@ToxicExMachina . . . really . . . what is your problem.
#2081 Re: Installation » Beowulf, where to download from » 2019-03-13 02:53:29
I am unable to locate a page to download beowulf from.
I will appreciate a link if there is one.
Thanks
Beowulf has not been released yet so no official isos available. There are some test images here:
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dis … nt/images/
and here:
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dis … s/netboot/
YMMV depending on your usecase.
I installed some months ago using the mini.iso

We did not "lash out". As a result of his comments, we improved how Devuan is presented on the website. He was invited to contribute but disappeared when he couldn't bully us into his (misinformed) vision of what we should be doing. Celebrity doesn't count for much here especially when it's saddled with an attitude.
#2083 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Dog Linux releases Devuan based alpha » 2019-03-07 00:01:24
Hmmmm . . . that's odd. Also the Debian branding on ASCII. A bit stomach turning . . .
#2084 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Dog Linux releases Devuan based alpha » 2019-03-06 16:46:04
Nice find! Interesting that dzz had a hand in it.
#2085 Re: Devuan Derivatives » ThomOS - the new outrageous devuan-based switchblade OS » 2019-03-06 02:00:16
Suggested listing:
ThomOS (formerly Crunkbong)
That's what I was thinking. Let's see what siva says.
#2086 Re: Off-topic » DSA-4371-1 apt -- security update » 2019-03-06 00:32:06
More devs on deck to build them would be great too. 
#2087 Re: Off-topic » The End of Trust » 2019-03-05 19:12:13
How about https://codeberg.org/ ?
Two red flags . . . more java script licenses than I can count on my 10 fingers and a rather strange ToS. Plus emojis . . . really? We want to minimize the web interface not expand it.
#2088 Re: Devuan Derivatives » ThomOS - the new outrageous devuan-based switchblade OS » 2019-03-05 16:35:36
I'm wondering how to deal with the name change on the derivative lists. Maybe just leave crunkbong for now and add "crunkbong is now thomOS" and change the link? Thoughts?.
#2089 Re: Off-topic » The End of Trust » 2019-03-05 16:29:34
@siva . . . Hello stranger! Nice to see you. We're looking at Gitea. It will hopefully be up for testing soon but then require extensive testing before the final decision is made.
#2090 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Devuan on SSD » 2019-03-03 18:42:06
Yes, a big thank you to KatolaZ and rolfie for sharing their research and experience. I am rather hardware-challenged. Farm out all but the simplest tasks like changing a HD or PCI card. Still mostly on 1 TB WD black spinning drives that go on like the energizer bunny. I'll stay on them as long as they are in good health. I'll cross the SSD bridge when the time comes . . . possibly not this lifetime. LOL!
#2091 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Devuan on SSD » 2019-03-03 02:25:38
Isn't "long life SSD" an oxymoron?
#2092 Re: News & Announcements » How you can help Devuan » 2019-03-01 16:52:29
@dimonic . . . all links in the first post of this thread and elsewhere on this forum are "live". If there is something that you think requires extensive "conversation", You can start a new thread in the appropriate section (probably not Announcements). If you just want to comment, drop it here. If it turns into a "thing" I can split off to a separate thread. Keep in mind that this is a forum not a wiki. Users may post documentation but it is ephemeral and will likely become outdated in time.
#2093 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] ISO Installer - Installed on Canaimita MG101A3 [SOLVED] » 2019-03-01 04:26:27
@inukaze . . . I'm curious how you got auto.mirror repos on an ascii install. deb.devuan.org is the default repo in ascii which mirrors pkgmaster.devuan.org
Please have a look at https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list
#2094 Re: Off-topic » The End of Trust » 2019-02-28 22:34:18
I'm disturbed that GitLab is on that list.
FYI . . . the Devuan team is looking at alternative options to gitlab.
#2095 Re: News & Announcements » How you can help Devuan » 2019-02-28 22:30:40
@dimonic . . . please make your suggestions by responding to the threads/posts you think need to be improved.
#2097 Re: Devuan » A philosophical diatribe: How to avoid having users - and how not to » 2019-02-22 00:10:03
What to do in the meantime? How to keep it going while the systemd "virus" spreads?
Well, talking and wishing and philosophizing won't get the job done. That takes committed volunteers willing to do the work. Unfortunately, end users and outsiders have lots of ideas/demands but rarely lift a finger to make them a reality.
#2098 Re: Devuan » A philosophical diatribe: How to avoid having users - and how not to » 2019-02-21 17:12:30
@cynwulf . . . You are and have always been welcome here but the drama is a bit of a buzzkill.

@Panopticon . . . you have undertaken a Sisyphean task. This thread could continue with 100 posts of repetitive arguments, nothing will change and I guarantee you will never get the last word. As tempting as the bait is, the only off button is silence.
#2100 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » gray font antialiasing in xfce » 2019-02-20 16:13:27
I'm out of ideas. Maybe take your question to the Xfce forum. They are friendly and knowledgeable and have solved issues for me more than once.
