Is there a reason you posted the same text twice? I could edit it but would prefer that you correct your own post.

@HextorBRX . . . see how useful the DNG mailing list is?

auto.mirror was deprecated but then this happened a few weeks ago and now announced again after an oversight:

Please consider joining the DNG mail list to keep current.

Btw golinux i remember that u used to tell me off that i chat with people on #devuan and i should go chat on #devuan-fork instead, haha. I didnt have idea that you're administrator ;D
Yup. And I carry a big stick! LOLOLOLOL! I often try to move chat unrelated to Devuan from #devuan to #debianfork. And I sometimes move topics here too. Think of it as housecleaning. Thanks for posting in the appropriate place on this forum.

@dxrobertson . . . Please read MX Linux' systemd policy:
MX Linux ships with systemd present but disabled by default. The MX Linux team strongly urges users to remain with this configuration which uses sysvinit instead.
I don't consider this approach systemd-free as all the "tentacles" needed to enable systemd are still present. It's no more systemd-free than a vanilla Debian with sysvinit. Yet the systemd-free label persists. Go figure.

deb.devuan.org is a round-robin of these mirrors - http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt - that rsync with pkgmaster.devuan.org.
#2357 Re: DIY » Porting Tails OS to Devuan / Disclosure & Discussion Thread » 2018-10-03 18:14:46
I have been using Xfce for over 5 years and never had either of these problems. I have 7 desktops running with 3/4 different browsers going at all times. I often do extensive graphical, audio and video editing and will keep those windows in and out of suspend for days/weeks at a time. The only "freezing" issue I have ever had is with firefox - no surprise there. xkill fixes that with one click. I use the nouveau driver and it works well with intel graphics.
I'd start by checking every option under the window manager settings. But it sounds like more of a graphics driver issue to me. Could also be lack of hardware resources. I just impulse ordered another 4GB RAM last night. 
#2358 Re: Intergalactic Communities » Italian Speaking Forum » 2018-10-02 21:56:47
Your English has always seemed just fine to me. Feel free to start a mailing list if that seems like the best idea to you. If it takes off and gathers a robust following, it might even eventually find a home with other Devuan/Dyne mail lists. When this forum started it was a personal project that a few of us took on and look at it now!
#2359 Re: Intergalactic Communities » Italian Speaking Forum » 2018-10-02 15:32:37
Well, it was his/her choice not ours. User community projects like that are under user control to create, host and support etc.. Several others have tried and failed also. Perhaps you can reverse the curse!
(I could google translate this but have no way of knowing how accurate it would be so please forgive the English)
#2360 Re: Installation » [SOLVED, don't buy one to begin with] dell xps-13 » 2018-10-02 14:34:34
Why would that be necessary when Devuan has all of Debian's non-free drivers available at the user's discretion?
#2361 Re: Intergalactic Communities » Italian Speaking Forum » 2018-10-02 14:32:30
That forum was initiated and maintained by a Devuan user, Capricornus iirc, who disappeared after that. I believe there were some notes posted here and on that forum about the pending closure. Perhaps now, a year later, there would be interest in trying again. Wouldn't hurt to ask. I still have the logo if you're interested.

@HextorBRX . . . Are you using http or https? You should be using http.

#2364 Re: Intergalactic Communities » Italian Speaking Forum » 2018-10-01 20:50:50
Early on there was an Italian Devuan forum. I even customized the logo for that forum. It folded due to lack of participation after about a year. @viverna . . . iirc you were a member there.
#2365 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Xfce forum down? » 2018-10-01 16:38:10
It's back up now. Was down even yesterday.
#2366 Re: Off-topic » Tim Berner: More secure web » 2018-10-01 04:47:24
Hmmm . . . sounds too good to be true and a little trendy to be honest. All the social networking and invitation to join them on Glitter pushed me over the edge. That chat is Trusted by: AirBnB, Amazon Web Services, Google, Microsoft. Good grief, that's not a world that I want to inhabit. Maybe I'm just too old and cranky . . .
#2367 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » Xfce forum down? » 2018-09-30 00:02:32
Wonder what's up with that. Maybe they forgot to pay the renewal . . .

#2370 Re: Installation » Migration from Bunsenlabs debian to ASCII » 2018-09-27 00:09:26
Have you looked at dev1fanboy's upgrade guides?
#2371 Re: Devuan Derivatives » Testing Exe GNULinux / Trinity Desktop » 2018-09-25 04:00:07
Thanks for the help fsmithred. Possible last questions:
1) If I decided to dual boot with Exe GNU/Linux, how would I update it to Stretch?
2) And, how to add the correct repos for current updates?
These two links should answer your questions:
https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/Release_notes.txt
https://devuan.org/os/etc/apt/sources.list
I don't know that anyone has tried to upgrade exe-gnu jessie to ascii (stretch). Would probably be a good idea to do it in a VM first. Trinity does have several mail lists that might have an answer to your question in the archives.
#2372 Re: Installation » Migration from Bunsenlabs debian to ASCII » 2018-09-24 23:29:21
On LightDM and xfce, I have used them together in Debian, and all things being equal, they should be fine together surely.
Do not assume equal compatibility in Devuan as our backends are different to accommodate eudev. Please read the Release Notes for clarification.
#2373 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » What tool for software updates + notifications? » 2018-09-24 22:14:51
It would be a learning curve but well worth it imo. Forks should include source code and history from day 1. Sometimes that is not so easy to find. IRC might be the best place to get help on how to do that.
#2374 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » What tool for software updates + notifications? » 2018-09-24 16:33:27
Wondering if/how we could get this added to the Devuan repos so I can apt install it rather than wget of a path that may change?
Maybe you'd consider forking it into git.devuan.org and building a package compatible with devuan/debian. Then it could go into devuan-proposed and eventually to the main repo.
#2375 Re: Installation » Migration from Bunsenlabs debian to ASCII » 2018-09-24 14:49:36
Nothing ventured, nothing learnt.
1) . . . XFCE only works properly with sddm.
Wrong. Slim is the default DM for Xfce and works perfectly. Did you have a problem with it?
2) deb.devuan.org is a little bit buggy. I would select pkgmaster if I were you.
pkgmaster is the source for the deb.devuan.org round-robin.
The issue with using deb.devuan.org on jessie has been fixed:
https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 51.en.html
Please report issues to bugs,devuan.org.
3) . . . so create your partitions prior to running the installer.
Yes. I also find it a bit awkward to do during the installation process.
The desktop-live ISO works out of the box and it is my favorite way of installing Devuan.
fsmithred is amazing!
