In regards to scutterflux info on openrc, i can confirm that sddm works via xdm service file. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SDDM
Service
OpenRC
Set SDDM as the default display manager:
FILE /etc/conf.d/xdm
DISPLAYMANAGER="sddm"
To start SDDM on boot, add xdm to the default runlevel:
Note
The dbus service gets pulled in dynamically.
root #rc-update add xdm default
To start SDDM now:
root #/etc/init.d/xdm start
After logging in to the X session via sddm, it is a good idea to verify that ConsoleKit is working as intended. By typing ck-list-sessions all active sessions can be listed. The list should include your session, typically running on x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'. This session should also read active = TRUE. Active being FALSE indicates an issue [1][2]. #202 Re: Installation » Trying to install Devuan ASCII in qemu/libvirt virtual machine » 2018-07-06 11:40:38
Sorry for commenting here, way above my knowledge on qemu and libvirt. I can only assume you are trying to do an install virtually onto real hardware perhaps? I just dont get it.
#203 Re: Installation » Trying to install Devuan ASCII in qemu/libvirt virtual machine » 2018-07-05 12:27:11
I dont quite understand, not familiar enough with advanced qemu and libvirt. Are you trying to install a linux operating system (devuan ascii) onto an existing virtual machine?
Link is a nice guide on qemu: https://fosspost.org/tutorials/use-qemu … tributions
Having a quick look at the man page, for virt-install maybe you are missing the --cdrom option in the command?
-c OPTIONS
--cdrom OPTIONS
File or device used as a virtual CD-ROM device. It can be path to an
ISO image, or to a CDROM device. It can also be a URL from which to
fetch/access a minimal boot ISO image. The URLs take the same format
as described for the "--location" argument. If a cdrom has been
specified via the "--disk" option, and neither "--cdrom" nor any other
install option is specified, the "--disk" cdrom is used as the install
media.#204 Re: Off-topic » Survey: Impact of Microsoft acquirement of GitHub » 2018-07-02 12:10:48

2010 optiplex 780 - 4g ram 3.0 ghz intel core 2 duo. I run it through a cheap lcd tv and it works great, resolution is 1366 x 768 on a 32 inch monitor using standard vga cables, i used dvi, hdmi and displayport cables in the past but had to use connectors for them due to the age of the hardware so vga is probably where it will stay as i really cant notice any difference using more advanced cabling with a TV that doesnt support display port and likewise a HDD that doesnt support HDMI , but that is all it really need for watching youtube and dvd's etc. Had it for 2 years now, started it off with a few debian distros but now have devuan ascii xfce4 on it running fine.
#207 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Refracta no-dbus experiment » 2018-06-27 13:09:58
Just tried paper icons and they work fine and populate all areas, so must be something wrong with the Suru icons, probably not suited to Devuan only Ubuntu.
#208 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Refracta no-dbus experiment » 2018-06-27 12:49:45
Sorry i forgot to report back, i have this nodbus refracta spin working fine on a partition on my hard drive. I use old hardware so i dont really have any issues with it. Theming was a bit problematic in regards to icons, but i think that is my problem. I followed the github page to install the Suru icon set with meson and ninja but seem to be missing some icons here and there, hardcoded not working and such. Meson build in Devuan repo is not suited to this icon set so i had to manually install the latest meson build with deps, so possibly this is the issue in itself, maybe someone else may have or has had better luck than me. To add, would this be a dbus issue with icons not displaying as they should? I will have to try another icon set like paper, papirus or faenza icons and see if i get the same issue with the panel and home directories showing only adwaita/gnome in some areas. Ill post more another day, in the mean time take this post with a grain of salt.
#209 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Firefox Oddities » 2018-06-27 10:33:19
devuser, that was happening to me when i was using my laptop without an external mouse using an improperly setup openbox install, i was like wtf is going on! Took me a little while until i realized the touchpad was the issue when on. There is a way to disable touchpad when typing, im using openbox and from my very basic knowledge there is autostart entry you can use that uses syndaemon. Not sure how that would be implemented in other desktops like xfce or kde etc but im sure there is a function somewhere.
Below is from Bunsenlabs openbox .config/openbox/autostart
## Disable touchpad while typing
syndaemon -i .5 -K -t -R -d Ò Re: Devuan Derivatives » CROWZ Devuan 2.0.0 ASCII is now uploaded » 2018-06-27 10:23:47
Congrats on the upgrade, another great spin i will have to try out again.
#211 Re: Devuan Derivatives » STAR: 2.0.1 Kirk, it's here! » 2018-06-27 10:20:41
I see openbox just got uploaded to SF not long ago, will have to give that a try over the weekend. Congrats on the upgrade.
#212 Re: Installation » I can not install the new Devuan(2) » 2018-06-27 10:10:30
As devuser says, should be the same as Jessie unless you are choosing the expert setup which i think has a few differences.
This may help here: https://friendsofdevuan.org/doku.php/co … 1.0_jessie
Bit more info might help here david.

#214 Re: Installation » Is There Any Way To Directly Install Ceres? » 2018-06-24 08:25:35
Could one drop to a shell in the netinstall iso installer for ascii and modify the /etc/apt/sources.list ?
Probably take a little longer but full upgrade to ceres on a base ascii installation from netinstall is the way i would do it.
#215 Re: Other Issues » Support for Devuan Jessie » 2018-06-23 11:28:13
From memory i think Debian Jessie support ends in 2020 for LTS? Not sure with Devuan, but seeing as Devuan tracks debian i would say similar time frames?
#216 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Screen output at boot time » 2018-06-22 15:21:34
Grub stands for, GRand Unified Bootloader.
I believe your issues are most likely a result of how your hdd are mounted. What is taking care of that?
#217 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Screen output at boot time » 2018-06-22 09:00:11
Maybe try updating grub from Devuan with the PC linux os drive in place and mounted inside Devuan? You will still have the Devuan menu entry as number one but you can default grub to select PC linux os.
#218 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » [Solved] Screen output at boot time » 2018-06-21 11:07:47
Where do you $ sudo update-grub from? Pc linux os or Devuan?
#219 Re: Devuan » Devuan ASCII reviewed on DistroWatch Weekly » 2018-06-19 09:47:41
Im not going to bag the reviewer but in all honesty the below quote pretty much sums up Linux. The length of installing is just the same as pure debian, so i can only surmise the reviewer has not really done many installations with debian only its offshoots like ubuntu and the like.
What I found was that Devuan provided an experience where I had to stop and think about where items were or how I was going to use them rather than having the pieces seamlessly fit together. However, once I got the system set up in a way that was more to my liking, I appreciated the experience provided.

I like to use palemoon browser but it uses dbus-glib and in the interest of this thread....
Found this here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic … yLwUCYpBbU
Might be worth a try.

of Pale Moon for my personal use without dbus. I also have an ancient
32-bit-only Atom netbook. dbus is required for Necko-Wifi and Wakelock
in Pale Moon, and presumably also in Firefox...Necko-Wifi - allows improved geo-location if you have wifi, which most
PCs have, even newer desktops. It works by scanning SSIDs in your
vicinity and comparing against a master global database. The local data
has to be sent off to a master database (e.g. Google) for the comparison.Wakelock - is a generic API for grabbing a resource and not letting go
of it... https://www.w3.org/TR/wake-lock-use-cases/ It's mostly used
in mobile apps, but on the desktop it's used to disable the screensaver
while a long video is playing.If you can do without Necko-Wifi and Wakelock, you don't need dbus.
Let me know off-list if you need any help custom-building Pale Moon.

#221 Re: Forum Feedback » Much ado about nothing » 2018-06-17 11:45:44
Are you saying this forum is akin to an oppressive regime and legitimizing it by such an advisory stated in the OP fungus?
Me thinks you are reading into this too much. The internet is a tool, not a social experiment in my opinion and those that want to use it for social purposes will reap the rewards good and bad. Im still analog when it comes to being social.
Analog and digital signals are used to transmit information, usually through electric signals. In both these technologies, the information, such as any audio or video, is transformed into electric signals. The difference between analog and digital technologies is that in analog technology, information is translated into electric pulses of varying amplitude. In digital technology, translation of information is into binary format (zero or one) where each bit is representative of two distinct amplitudes.

Ive given the live iso a try on my laptop and working fine. Internet and browser worked fine although i was just using phone usb0 connection, yet to test the wireless capability.
I will give this a try on a partition for sure.

I think you may be looking for "libavcodec-dev".
Do an apt search for lib ffmpeg $ apt search lib ffmpeg and see if that helps.
Same with the rest of your list, avconv and mencoder.
Sorry if this is not much help but im just giving you some options to search for and research.

Thanks red i will have to give it a try. So is the systemd shim used to install those packages under libsystemd0 but still not using dbus?
