Re: [DNG] Refracta have a static IP

2021-07-16 Thread Bernard Rosset via Dng

Hmm, that's new since I last **needed** to look in the man page for it - don't 
tell me you look at man pages for stuff you already know how to do, each time 
you do it ?


I suppose ending up on a mailing list means you're looking for answers, 
hence there is by definition something you do *not* know (anymore).
I guess the first step would be to realize you might *have known*, but 
not anymore.
IMHO the first step shall ideally be (up-to-date) RTFM if you seek to be 
efficient, especially dealing with (others') time.



   Looks like "deprecated" 
was added between ascii and beowulf.
Checking my next oldest system (Debian Wheezy), I see that it includes CIDR 
format. Guess it's a while since I last needed to check the man page for that !


I suppose surprises like that happen more often than one thinks!
A common personal example is new options being introduced in a tool in 
order to solve something I am (re)trying to work around the hacky/ugly way.



Perhaps it's time for the relevant package to spit out some notice level 
logging when it hits deprecated options ?


I can't imagine the volume of information that would produce on system 
upgrades, even updates packs.
Unreadable, if you ask me: Too much information = No information, as it 
will be discarded.


Happy network configuration,

[DNG] desktop-live chimaera isos

2021-07-16 Thread fsmithred via Dng
Chimaera desktop-live isos are ready for testing. They can be downloaded
from files.devuan.org or from your favorite iso mirror.
https://www.devuan.org/get-devuan

Let me know if the desktop does not look like this.

We're getting different results with the i386 isos on different machines
booting in qemu. One is amd64 hardware, other is i386.

Thanks,
fsmithred

Correction: One is amd64 OS and the other is i386 OS. Hardware is 64-bit
capable in both cases.

[DNG] Separate issue with the alpha iso

2021-07-16 Thread golinux
Regarding the Xfce screenshot of the alpha live-iso posted by fsmithred 
. . . the eye-shattering icons in the bottom navigation panel are from 
Xfce. They are NOT part of the deepsea theme.  Hopefully a way can be 
found to return visual sanity. So much for having Linux "your way" in 
2021.
