Both Gnuinos Chimaera (installed on hdd) and Daedalus (from the live ISO) boot fine and run great here.
I am using the 64-bit Xfce version in both cases, from the last ISO.
Thank you Aitor!

Welcome

I you are using Xfce, I recommend you to upgrade both usbmount and xfce4-hopman-plugin. On the other hand, I use to disable the volume management in Thunar because there are some conflicts between vdev and gvfs-daemons/udisks not fixed yet. Devices are mounted/unmounted without issues, but it seems that cancellable operations like:

g_volume_mount (G_VOLUME (device->device),
                G_MOUNT_MOUNT_NONE,
                mount_operation,
                cancellable,
                thunar_device_operation_finish,
                op);

don't receive any response and, therefore, the callback thunar_device_operation_finish -responsible for stopping the spinner when the operation finishes- is run only once the timeout has been expired, taking too long. The same goes for the umount process. And I think that this bug is related to libudev-compat.

Do you plan to support ARM devices in the future as well? By the way, pondering trying your operating system again, but am having trouble finding it online... unless its at sourceforge. I thought I was seeing things though.

My chosen search engine has been acting weird... yeah that does work.

My next question is, which is more reliable right now, chimaera, or daedalus?

I would guess the first, but I will download that one anyhow, just because its smaller.

I have need of an alternate os because of not being able to do some flashing stuff on my computer.

Libreboot like stuff aka.

./blobutils isn't working, etc... on my usual.

xD

I wonder if it has improved at all since I last used it though.

Guess I shall see soon?

Btw, I apologize for not leaving more nonsense lately, but I have been occupied.

I know you guys miss it...

/S

Btw, a fully jwm iso install, complete with jwmkit installed, would be interesting and awesome. Aka, first run would be already activated, etc...

Not strictly needed, necessary but it would be awesome.

Hi zapper, I did have the JWMkit in mind from the very beginning because the work done by Calvin Kent is realy impressive. As to gnuinos daedalus images, I explained in earlier posts -and also in the DNG mailing list- that I'm trying to fix some issues arising in the behavior of volume mount operations with vdev as device manager, that have been partially solved. Thus, the images will be released when I deem fit and, for sure, trying to cover a broader range of window managers and desktops, along with xfce and openbox.

Sounds wise aitor, yeah... I am not on the DNG mailing list, so I would't know.

I've updated the isos

prospero · 2023-09-13 23:48:55

Thank you for the new ISOs. I fell asleep at some point last month, and did not realize that Daedalus has now been promoted to stable.

The Chimaera Xfce version that I installed some time ago is doing quite fine, I just updated it today. It is taking about 450MiB of RAM, which is great for a system with a complete DE, and about 950MiB with Icecat, LibreOffice and GIMP running, which is quite a feat.

I will upgrade the USB live system to the last Daedalus ISO, and see how that goes.

UPDATE: The Gnuinos Daedalus live session works great, so I am considering installing it. A fresh install is an option, but I ~~would like to try upgrading from Chimaera. Is there anything specific to know?~~ simply edited the sources.list to 'daedalus' and ran apt upgrade, and that was it. Or is something missing? It currently says "Daedalus" everywhere, and all personal settings were correctly applied wherever applicable.

It appears that the complete procedure is detailed there: https://www.devuan.org/os/documentation … o-daedalus. Not sure how I could miss that.

So I followed up with the extra steps, and all went well. Gnuinos Daedalus is now up and running smoothly, and only marginally taking extra RAM compared to Chimaera, with the relative difference decreasing with the load.
