@yeti . . . WOW! Just saw your new sig. Made my day.
#2202 Re: Off-topic » Holiday thread/traditions » 2018-12-25 17:17:51
Holiday traditions are a form of social control and propaganda. All of them pretty much suck and disrupt the sameness of days. I ignore all of them. I do acknowledge the solstice and equinox - reminds me how small we are in the universe - and of course, the birth of Devuan. LOLOLOL!

Goodbye Devuan and Debian! Hello Freebsd! I'm leaving linux land. It was nice to visit this forum.
Sorry to see you go. I hope it wasn't that one weird thread that chased you off. Wander back in any time. 
#2206 Re: Devuan » A philosophical diatribe: How to avoid having users - and how not to » 2018-12-22 02:10:19
As a result of this thread some changes are being made to the Devuan website. A description of the available isos has been added to both https://beta.devuan.org/ and https://beta.devuan.org/get-devuan (the mirror/download page). And now there are visual guides (with screenshots) for both a classic install and a graphical install. These changes are now available on the beta site for review and comments.
https://beta.devuan.org/os/documentatio … evuan.html
https://beta.devuan.org/os/documentatio … ption.html
https://beta.devuan.org/os/documentatio … stall.html
https://beta.devuan.org/os/documentatio … ption.html
So why do they they look different than the rest of the site? Well, an earlier version of these pages was prepared last spring for inclusion in the ASCII isos that use the debian-installer and it was easier to keep them in that format.
There is still more to come with the addition of similar walk-throughs for the refractainstaller GUI and cli.
#2207 Re: Devuan » RFC: Boobian » 2018-12-22 01:34:30
@cynwulf . . . I know 'tis the season to be grumpy but can you please take it down a notch? None of us here are happy about the direction Debian is going. But let's just move on and do something constructive. Maybe you would if you even used Debian or Devuan these days . . .
@Will W. . . . As I indicated in my previous post . . . if packages that you use are removed in Debian, feel free to build and maintain them for Devuan. If no one steps up to do that, you're on your own to get them however you want. Just don't bitch about it here expecting someone else to do it for you.
#2208 Re: Other Issues » Problems to install and run Unetbootin » 2018-12-21 19:22:04
Here you go again. Devuan is not compatible with Ubuntu/Mint packages.
#2209 Re: Other Issues » mintstick_1.3.9_all.deb, problem to formate usb. » 2018-12-21 19:19:17
i was trying many options and not one works ... means i was not even able to install one of those ... this was the only one that i was able to install ... but ... now, i don't remember -- for your question i think that it was probably installed from some place at linuxmint.
That's a sure way to a Frankendevuan! Please read: https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian
How can i get mintstick for Devuan?.
A better question is why you think you need "mintstick". Can't you just use the dd command? If you want more features take a look at fsmithred's refracta2usb.
#2210 Re: Other Issues » mintstick_1.3.9_all.deb, problem to formate usb. » 2018-12-21 18:18:11
Result from a search at pkginfo.devuan.org:
0 results for "mintstick.py" in any (in 15.372464ms)
So where exactly did you get this deb?
#2211 Re: Devuan » RFC: Boobian » 2018-12-21 04:20:37
And also, the most important question (from which I should probably start): if WebOOB package be still shipped by Devuan?
Sure, if someone steps up to maintain it long-term after it gets removed from Debian.
#2212 Re: Devuan » RFC: Boobian » 2018-12-21 03:17:40
Sorry, I wasn't aware of a discussion going on IRC, are there any outcomes of this discussion or is it still going on some channel?
It was just a link dropped on #debianfork. Almost no discussion.
Did you join this forum just to try to stir things up? Seems a little odd for a first entrance.
#2213 Re: Devuan » RFC: Boobian » 2018-12-21 02:47:05
A link about that was posted on IRC. I actually saw the "boobian" thing at that link. You can't fix stupid.
#2214 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » MATE 1.20 on devuan ascii » 2018-12-20 17:56:14
Have you read the Release Notes? Especially the section on session management. You also mentioned a "mintmenu". Where did you get that? Mint/Ubuntu pkgs should not be used in Devuan. Try a dialog native to Devuan.
#2215 Re: DIY » [SOLVED] Creating a bootable iso file » 2018-12-17 19:38:56
I just tried to make a backup, but the file is not where the app said it would be. It said the file would be in /home/snapshot, but after saying it was finished, there is no snapshot folder in home.
Maybe you're looking in /home/<user> instead of /home (which is a root directory)? Or maybe it failed. Check /var/log/refractasnapshot_errors.log.

Note it is even worse in beowulf.
#2217 Re: DIY » [SOLVED] Creating a bootable iso file » 2018-12-17 17:04:43
When you say different method, do you mean an app other than refractsnapshot? Or do you mean another method with refractsnapshot?
I use rsync for data backup.

I'm dropping this link here because I think some of you might not be on the DNG mail list. Discussion of "What should be the tasks of the Devuan Installer" which is relevant to this thread. If you subscribe to that list you'll get a better idea of who Devuan users are. Same goes for Devuan IRC channels.

The problem can be ignored on i386, but is fatal on amd_64.
Ah . . . I am running a 32 bit system.

Yeah, that looks pretty bad. I don't have a clue what the problem is.
#2221 Re: DIY » [SOLVED] Creating a bootable iso file » 2018-12-16 04:53:19
You have to create an iso before you can burn it to DVD or dd to thumb drive. refractasnapshot from our very own fsmithred works very well but will require some RTFM. You can download it from the Devuan repos. Here's a link to the documentation:
https://refracta.org/documents.html
Traditionally there is a 4GB limit to an ISO file but alphalpha recently found a way to make an iso larger than that:
https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2416
I tried it on my current system but had to exclude almost all of my home directory to get it down to just over 5 GB. It boots and runs,
The companion to refractasnapshot is the refractainstaller which is what Devuan uses to install the desktop-live and minimal-live isos.

Use transfer.sh It won't stay up for long but long enough for this purpose.
