Quite a few of these concepts for the new OS remind me of Erlang BEAM. Does this comparison make sense? On Wed, Aug 3, 2022 at 10:36 PM Bruce Perens via Dng wrote: > I came to the conclusion a while back that systemd was symptomatic of the > fact that we had gone as far as the fundamental

Re: [DNG] Warning about Wicd in Chimaera

Yeah, it came out if the blue during one of the last updates. I've been running Chimaera during the last year and didn't expect any drastic changes. I tried to re-install wicd but the number of dependencies was too large. So, it was a pleasant surprise that once the interface is configured I can

Some years ago there was a pretty decent Linux distribution for ebook readers, called Open Inkpot. It was around 2010 and I'm almost certain that it didn't include Systemd, nor any spyware. The choice of hardware was pretty limited at that time, though. On Mon, May 24, 2021, 23:25 g4sra via Dng

[DNG] Touchpad on Thinkpad T580 stops working sometimes

2021-02-15 Thread Dimitri Minaev via Dng
Hi, I run Chimaera Devuan on Thinkpad T580. Periodically, about once a day, the touchpad stops responding to all actions. It doesn't scroll or move the pointer. During these blackouts dmesg doesn't display any messages and I still can use the trackpoint. After a short period of time, around 1

[DNG] mssh not working (Chimaera)

Hi, folks, Does 'mssh' work for you in Chimaera? It used to work for me but now I only get black area instead of the terminal. Tried to compile it from sources, but it requires packages which I couldn't find in repos, vte and gtk+. The latter may be provided by libgtk2 or libgtk3, but I'm not
