erickI have a question for the devuan crew02:07
erickHave you guys thought of bundling the greybird theme and elementary xfce icon theme?02:08
erickfor the xfce live iso02:08
erickI mean it's in the debian repos, so why not use it02:09
gnarfaceif it's in the debian repos it should also be available in devuan, is your complaint just that it's not actually shipped on the live iso ?02:20
erickyes02:24
erickit's mostly because ive seen on the repos that they are having a hard time finding people to maintain the gtk and icon theme for devuan02:26
ericksorry i mean the forums02:26
golinuxerick: elementary-xfce-icon-theme is available in Devuan02:30
golinuxSo is the greybird-gtk-theme02:31
erickyes i know but the question or suggestion is why not use a theme that is supported by the xfce team instead of recreating a new one02:31
erickoh and by the way ive been using devuan since ascii02:31
ericklove devuan02:32
golinuxCool02:32
golinuxThe xfce icon theme is too Fisher-Price in all it's primary fugliness02:33
golinuxGreybird is fugly too but taste is relative . . .02:33
erickhaha fisher price02:33
erickive never heard it like that02:33
golinuxSo feel free to use whatever you want. Just dl from the repos and be happy.02:34
erickso anyone here use xfce and if you do what gtk theme do you use?02:34
golinuxThese days most colors are Fisher-Price . . . eyeshattering.02:34
golinuxI have themed the first 5 default Devuan themes02:35
erickwow cool02:36
erickwhat ever happened to the clearlooks like theme?02:36
erickthat one was cool02:36
erickreminded me of the gnome 2 days02:37

golinuxAll bets are off for excalibur though02:40
golinuxMight require a rethink out of necessity.02:41
golinuxThe job is open if you're interested . . .02:43

SompiThe idea of "trusted computing" is again being used against free software and locally compiled program binaries10:14
onefangThat is not a support issue though, which is what this channel is for.10:17
HackphiLhello hanx Lionel_ et ukine ;) Savez-vous si la distrib Devuan existe en français?10:20
HackphiLhi there!10:20
HackphiLdoes Devuan install exist in French?10:21
JorilHackphiL: hello! Devuan supports every language supported by Debian :)10:22
HackphiLok thx Joril I already got an iso... I install it!10:23
HackphiLJoril ~~> is there an xfce-nonfree iso ?10:32
Jorildevuan.org states that "Non-free firmware packages are available on all  install media", so I think the answer is yes...?10:35
Jorildesktop-live ISO: Explore the default Xfce desktop before installing. Then install easily and quickly from the live session using the refractainstaller. Firmware is installed but can easily be removed.10:36
HackphiLI only have 1GB of ram, it should be a little bit short?10:41
djphHackphiL: ouch, that's going to be painful with quite a number of tasks11:24
drummyhello, anyone else having DNS resolving failure on deb.devuan.org? I can't install packages12:54
onefangHmmm, worked fine for me just now.12:55
onefanghttps://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt might be helpful if you don't mind picking one and changing your sources.list.12:56
drummyyeah it seems I can ping the mirrors, I'll try to switch to some mirror then12:57
drummyseems to work, thanks :)13:01
onefangYou are welcome.13:02
StellarOrbitHello everyone. Since Martin Wimpress is going to be bringing the Ubuntu Mate polish to Debian, is there any plans to take those changes and bring them to Devuan? I would love to have the sleekness of ubuntu mate, without systemd and snapd21:04
gnarfaceStellarOrbit: devuan automatically inherits any package that does not directly or indirectly require systemd21:05
gnarfacebasically, anything not on this list:  http://packages.devuan.org/bannedpackages.txt21:06
StellarOrbitgnarface, that's what I figured, but i am unsure if Martin Wimpress plans to make a custom iso or not, and since I haven't used your distro before, I don't know how you make your group packages21:06
StellarOrbitor iso's21:06
gnarfacethe live isos are made with refracta21:06
gnarfacethe other isos have a custom build script at git.devuan.org21:07
gnarfacethe packages themselves are made the exact same way debian makes theirs21:07
StellarOrbitawesome! Thanks for the answer! That helps a lot.21:07
gnarfacethe vast majority of the packages in fact are not even rebuilt, they're actually the literal same debian packages, served via http redirect through a clever bit of software called amprolla21:08
gnarfacesome packages are rebuilt to remove systemd dependencies where economically feasible21:08
gnarfacethe rest go on that banned packages list21:09
gnarfaceso what you really need to find out is how hard this martin guy is gonna work on tying in systemd-only features to critical functionality of his work21:09
StellarOrbitI understand now. And from what I can see on the banned packages list, it's mostly just systemd packages themselves21:09
gnarfacemy guess is that if it's all cosmetic there shouldn't be trouble... in a fair world anyway21:10
StellarOrbitgnarface, I am unsure. From what I can see, most of what is done on Ubuntu Mate (save for the system itself requireing systemd) it's all cosmetic with a few additional packages to get ubuntu mate it's signature look21:10
StellarOrbitWhich would include the Brisk menu as one additional package21:11
StellarOrbitI would have to look at their repo to see what else21:11
