Thanks all. That went MUCH better. In fact, the entire installation went better 
than anything I've tried in the last week.

XRDP is up and running and most of my ansible playbooks for the other distros 
worked with just a few tweaks to package names. It was nice seeing ansible 
skipping over all the systemd handlers ツ 

You all have done a great job with this distro!

[DNG] xrdp in devuan?

[vmlinux]

Hi All,
I have a segregated LAN with clones of our production machines sitting in it 
which is used for testing patches, developer things, etc. It's a "testing" 
network. People are logging into the test network by connecting their RDP 
client to a desktop VM running XRDP inside the test network.

The current desktop VM is not a Devuan system. I tried upgrading it to a newer 
version of it's OS last week and XRDP no longer works. I fiddled with different 
internet fixes for hours and nothing worked so giving up and looking for 
something else.

Can anyone confirm XRDP is working with Xwindows in Beowulf? Any "unusual 
tricks" to getting it setup? Just want to make sure XRDP and X isn't just 
broken by default now.

Thanks

[DNG] I wish good things for Devuan

[vmlinux]

Just wanted to drop the maintainers a note. Keep up the great work. 

I've been dealing with some really crazy issues during OS installs and upgrades 
of **NON** Devuan systems in the past couple months. Its hard to believe how 
broken, discombobulated and simply messed up things have become. From 
unintelligible error messages to inexplicable stability issues, it's like going 
through a syslog from the late 90s. 

At work, Unfortunately, one of our main stacks runs a modified Linux distro so 
I don't get to pick the OS it runs on. After one particular day, and several 
failed attempts at upgrading and installing, I pulled the Devuan ISO onto the 
box. It installed, booted, initialized, mounted, started and shutdown 
perfectly. I was concerned all the issues I was having may have been hardware 
related, but they weren't. They are simply due to a system which is built on a 
house of cards.

Keep up the great work. Devuan has picked up where Linux left off.

Re: [DNG] systemd: good riddance!

It makes more sense when you consider that systemd  is a thinly veiled excuse

Re: [DNG] [Kali Linux 0003165]: Find a way to disable most services by default with systemd

[vmlinux]

There was a time when this sort of nonsense was heavily frowned upon. i suspect 
what has happened is that the user base has changed. it's difficult to learn 
the ropes from the cli so GUI allows the novice to do things quickly because 
the only skill needed is point-and-grunt. many people using Linux now are not 
the same type of people in your local LUG 10 years ago and i think this is 
being reflected in the way we see disastrous being developed now. 
devuan seems to be the one of the few distributions making any sense anymore. 

don't need Kali. most network problems can be resolved with the basics anyway: 
arping,  arp, tcpdump, nslookup, traceroute, netcat, and iptraf. thankfully all 
standard tools.

[DNG] OT: Desktop recording

[vmlinux]

After reading Steve's post about Statifier I got to thinking; where is a good 
desktop recording for Linux ? I used to use Wink[1] but the guy hasn't put out 
a Linux update in a long time. 

Anyone have a recommendation for something like RecordMyDesktop[2] which allows 
you to insert notes/balloons, pause for user interaction, and/or mix the video 
down into different formats?

Re: [DNG] Alternative for ARM processors

[vmlinux]

Hopefully you have more time than I to build an ARM distro. Hardest part for me 
was getting tool chain compiled but that was many years ago. Maybe it is easier 
now. 

I have a B+ and A+. B+ runs a USB temperature monitor for beer fridge to 
control the thermostat. A+ is nice if you can get by with WiFi network. I run 
cups server on the A+ to make laser printer a wifi network printer. 

Both systems run Debian arm and I am afraid to ever apply upgrades to them 
again. :(
