I was under the impression that Mint was pro systemd or at least switched to it because of Debian/Ubuntu.

LMDE is related to Ubuntu but much closer to Debian.

I've managed to get gmp-ecm GPU support working by recompiling it all with clang. See http://mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=23561 post 10.

Thanks for posting the fix.  Seems no one on this forum has played with CUDA.

So this issue is solved. How do I set the topic to say that?

I had some contact with the LMDE dev earlier this year regarding a Devuan version with a promise that he'd get back to me but he never did.

For the third time . . . there can be issues with pkgmaster.  Use deb.devuan.org instead.

#2459 Re: Other Issues » How can i get rar in devuan? [solved] » 2018-08-13 15:03:04

pkgmaster works but deb.devuan.org is now recommended/default

I forgot, i don't see any:

deb.devuan.org is a round-robin of load balanced servers that mirror pkgmaster.

We have already planned to do that.  It is the Devuan specific documentation that needs to be written.  msi was working on it but has disappeared.  Volunteers come and go . . .

Is there a list of what msi was planning on adding/working on?

#2463 Re: Devuan » new desktop-live iso » 2018-08-11 04:11:18

xe-non wrote:

what about installer and get-devuan page?

The desktop-live installer - refractainstaller - rsyncs the running live system.  It cannot add anything directly during installation.  You could install another init option in the live-environment and then install the modified version.  But if switching init requires a reboot that won't work.  This from the readme:

Refracta Installer will install the operating system to hard drive from
a running live-CD or live-USB session. The running system will be copied
exactly - any changes you make to the running system, including desktop
preferences, configuration changes, or added software will be copied to
the installed system.

As to the get-devuan page . . . there is no one-size-fits-all iso.  Devuan is about CHOICE.

#2464 Re: Devuan » new desktop-live iso » 2018-08-11 03:34:12

Feel free to prepare those isos and submit them to Devuan for inclusion.

The desktop packages I'm interested in (XFCE4) are built so that a Session manager is always installed.

You would probably have better luck if you stopped trying to install xfce4, which is a metapackage that does nothing but pull in other packages such as xfce4-session, which you do not want. Install the parts of xfce that don't pull in the session manager, as I described earlier in this thread.

Indeed, that 'should' work.  I suggested it - more than once IIRC - but don't think (s)he ever tried it.

Hello fred43 and all
fred43, you are a genius, your solution works perfectly well on a fresh ascii-install. I tested it with Cinnamon and OpenRC. I'm delighted the lightdm is the display manager by default now.
Thank you, well done!

It is the default for Cinnamon.  Xfce uses slim etc.

#2467 Re: Installation » Installation without Session management and policykit backends » 2018-08-09 18:25:57

I wish you had been able to solve your dilemma.  I'm curious if your preferred setup is still possible on Stretch.

I seem to have understood, in these weeks, that in releasing ASCII the main concern of the developers was to provide desktops with all the functionality.

Devuan's main concern is to provide a stable base system.  At times there has been discussion of providing only that and leaving desktop development to the derivatives.  That being said there were developers who stepped forward to provide functional desktop options for ASCII.

I don't have the skills to modify the xfce4-session package and therefore I am forced to suspend the migration to ASCII.

Well, perhaps your predicament might be incentive to learning those skills.  smile

And I went for orage. Total overkill for a panel clock but the only one I could find one that had an option to change font color -  I needed a white font on a dark panel.

By the way, how do I make this result look like terminal - I mean white character in black background like MiyoLinux and others did in their postings.

Above every message box there is a line of BBCode options in this order:
underline, bold. italic, inline code, delete, insert, emphasis, color, header, code (that's the one you want), quote, url, and list options.  Highlight the section you want to format and click on the option you want to use.  Done.

Why do you care?

Because Devuan users should be aware that packages installed from Ubuntu could have "unintended consequences" on their Devuan system.  It is a bit like Russian roulette.  But your box, your choice.

Just curious . . . why are you letting anything ubuntu touch your setup?
