The thing is, this is a Devuan package. It should work on Devuan. Users shouldn't need to figure out how to fix it, then fix it, on their own - that's what we have distro developers and maintainers for after all...

Our developers and maintainers are USERS like you. They are neither hired nor paid for their efforts to provide a service for Devuan users. Currently, no one is even bothering to build the installer testing isos so that should put your complaint into perspective! Perhaps consider becoming part of the solution by providing a patch?

Refresher course in Devuan's forum policy from 2016-12-01 for those who have forgotten or never seen it:

The dev1galaxy.org (almost) No Code of Conduct

#204 Re: Off-topic » Statement regarding X community » 2025-01-31 00:09:53

My personal opinion . . . X is poison. I have no idea why anyone with working brain cells would touch it.  But then . . . I never tweeted either. If Debian is leaving X perhaps, for once, they are making a sane decision.

@pcalvert . . . Yes, the isos need to be rebuilt regularly. Problem is they may need to be debugged before the iso will work properly.

@einpoklum . . . Haven't seen you in a very long time. Welcome back and thanks for the financial support.

#207 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2025-01-23 01:27:47

If you read the edit above . . . the task involves more than just making the isos. Some of the components might also need to be debugged . . .

#209 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2025-01-23 01:02:58

I'm pretty sure this is the current installer iso. Have at it!

Edit: Seems like it is now isolinux installer

#210 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2025-01-23 00:45:05

@Ralph.Ronnquist . . . Didn't you move away from the Debian installer a while ago? Or perhaps I am misremembering.

#211 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2025-01-23 00:20:58

Sadly, hot air may be a comfort in the dreary cold of winter but it will not lift a balloon full of holes . . . If words do not lead to useful action what use are they?

#212 Re: Devuan » Why are systemd files present in Devuan? » 2025-01-22 23:37:43

Why is this conversation even happening when currently no one is building the installer isos! Seems like ya'll have lost sight of priorities . . .

#215 Re: Installation » [SOLVED] Black screen afte boot » 2025-01-21 22:10:33

I added code tags to the above. That and other options are found immediately above the text input box.

For root access try su -.

What is in a name? "Systemditis" is an imaginary affliction. If the files do nothing what does it matter except take up a few bits or is it bytes? Devuan does not have the human resources to remove all of those useless barnacles though someone did manage to do it early on for Jessie.

@zapper . . . You seem to take the joke thread with you wherever you go . . . wink

#218 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Devuan est à la traîne (google: Devuan is lagging behind) ! » 2025-01-21 00:19:40

Think of this entire post as a train wreck getting hit by a necro-posting meteor . . .

#220 Re: News & Announcements » Merry Christmas » 2025-01-17 15:55:18

@greenjeans . . . The "holiday season" (which only a minority of the world celebrates) is long over and your comment is good note on which to close this thread.

#221 Re: Off-topic » 2025 Topics: AI Controls, Global Datacenters, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. » 2025-01-17 15:46:15

@zapper . . . Nonsense is wasteful pollution for this forum and also for the individuals participating.

#222 Re: News & Announcements » Merry Christmas » 2025-01-16 20:41:41

Human derived "celebrations" are useless, inconsequential and delusional and bind us to fantasies and the narratives de jour ( or try to).

#223 Re: Off-topic » 2025 Topics: AI Controls, Global Datacenters, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. » 2025-01-15 18:05:34

Can't we find more elevated and constructive things to talk about on this forum? Note that this thread is already on it's way to being locked . . .

#225 Re: Off-topic » US Proposes Forcing Google to Sell Chrome . . . » 2025-01-14 16:09:26

This thread is getting absolutely ridiculous.

stargate-sg1-cheyenne-mtn: Why are you posting endless links of nonsense? Maybe you're a bot and your system is in a loop?
