Keep in mind that the mini.iso is not ready for prime time so YMMV.

Wait! There IS an iso image for Beowulf? O_o
And I went through installing ASCII and then upgrading with apt... XD

The mini.iso is for TESTING.   There were changes made to the installer including additional questions during the process.  There were calls for testing those changes on the ML.

The mini.iso is considered "experimental" - ceres is in the sources.list - so breakage can be expected.   The i386 mini.iso installed for me in Decmber in VB but then I had trouble after an upgrade because of policykit stuff which I think is now fixed.  The approach that dxrobertson took is the safest way to get to beowulf but if you do it that way, I think you will get a merged usr which might not be desirable in some situations.

@rolfie . . . there are installer-i386 and installer-amd64 mini.isos here:
https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dists/beowulf/main/

Drill down to "netboot".  There is an option NOT to merge usr in the expert install.  Uses Debian softwave graphics so be prepared.

@Miyo . . . More and more apps like Firefox are depending on pulseaudio with each release.   In this forum and elsewhere, there have been discussions on how to substitute apulse/alsa for pulseaudio.  I have not tried it (still on Jessie).  Alessandro Selli offered to post a howto for apulse on this forum but it hasn't appeared yet.  I will not upgrade to Firefox that requires pulseaudio until I know that I can get around it.  Stay tuned . . .

And?  what file might this be?  Could we have a link to the thread? or a thread name?

Sure.  Here is the link.  I did the artwork and research about the scrollbar then fsmithred took over and integrated the default theme into the desktop-base package so I suspect that's where the file resides.  Maybe he'll stop by to explain.  There are other ways to fix the scrollbar explained in the Xfce thread but they weren't suitable for package installation.

Kool. 

Didnt use emacs, but my particular icon setting (moka); yes- better.

Now, can you tell me how to change Synaptic scrolling to make it actually usable?  I dont care for the gtk scrolling functionality of clicking on the scroll area and having the scroll advance in regards to where you click, instead of a "page".  And worse in regards to Synaptic; the right-click into the scroll area doesnt scroll-page as it should, but scrolls at some ridiculously irritating slow pace; useless!  I have to click into the package display and use arrow keys to scroll in Synaptic to get work done.

Use the clearlooks-phenix-darkpurpy theme.  Old style scrollbar restored.  big_smile   This is the magic needed thanks to fsmithred and the Xfce forum (long thread there on this topic).

Just curious how you did a fresh install of Beowulf.  The only way to get to beowulf is via an upgrade or the mini.iso which is pretty buried in the experimental repos and not with the other releases.

#2190 Re: Installation » Pale Moon » 2019-01-29 17:09:49

If Pale Moon were in the Debian repos it would also be in Devuan.  AFAIK, Steve Pusser provides Pale Moon for Debian users from his repos.  You can also get the tar from Pale Moon directly and install wherever you like.

@cretsiah . . . Did you find the Visual Install Guides on the website (navigation is at the bottom)?   The one for the refracta cli install hasn't been done yet but the GUI install is there.  The procedure is basically the same.  It's harder to customize a refracta install but it's very fast.  You can be up and running in 15 minutes!

Have you looked at the Devuan.org website?  Many of your questions are answered on the index page, download page or os page.

Hello,
My ISP doesn't offer email service so I pay another company to provide email and domain hosting.  I can try asking them to correct the issues you mention.

Rick is an admin ninja so I'm pretty sure this has something to do with your ISP's config.  This is the first time something like this has popped up since the forum started.  Is there any particular reason you chose that ISP?  When I see .aspx, I run the other way (personal prejudice). . . .

I didn't try to post because my reply to the registration email and to dng-owner both resulted in delay/delivery failure notices.  It didn't make any sense to try posting until the problem was corrected.

Makes sense. It might be some consolation to know that your registration was successful and you are in the user list so you should be able to post once your ISP gets it together.

it is said from KatolaZ

The safest way would actually be to manually download the deb packages of apt from the debian-security pool (more information available below), or to use pkgmaster.devuan.org in your sources.list to do the upgrade (pkgmaster.devuan.org is not a rough mirror...).

^This part is that I'm confused.

I've done APT successfully upgraded to version 1.0.9.8.5 2 via "deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged jessie-security"
Is it necessary for me to switch hosts to "pkgmaster.devuan.org" or make other manual interventions?

Forgive me for my lack of understanding on this part.

BR,
Nili

Yes, it was confusing and I chewed on it for quite some time myself.  I think he recommended pkgmaster because it is the source for all the other pkg mirrors would eliminate exposure to the many mirrors in the round robin.

That list is moderated.  Did you try to post?  No email ever arrived to moderation.  That's how I know when someone new has registered.

I think your DNS might not be set up correctly because your "server DNS address could not be found.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN"

PS.  It would probably be a good idea to remove your email address from that post.
