Re: [DNG] Announcing Devuan 4.0: Chimaera!
Hi, upgraded my desktop/workstation from beowulf to chimaera. It is a rather complex setup with several raid arrays (I like them and it is a good training for using them in work setups). Upgrade went smoothly but with several iterations of apt upgrade / apt dist-upgrade. I was surprised by seeing backport packages being sucked in, but it seems that this is now fixed. Everything works as expected and seems to be faster (placebo effect?) in the xfce desktop. The only little problem is a clicking noise in the speakers when opening some websites in firefox even with volume set to zero or disabled. Couldn't figure out a solution yet. Thanks to all Devuan developers for this great work. Ciao, Tito ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

First saw Linux when using DOS version of AOL in the early 90's. Became a heavy user when Windows 95 arrived. Since about 2016, I used OpenIndiana, Haiku and a lot of OpenBSD versions. Chimaera 4.0 up and running now on one of my machines. It is running smoothly. Thank you to no end with the "Fork".

Re: [DNG] Announcing Devuan 4.0: Chimaera!
Congratulations to all who were involved and helped making this awaited milestone a reality! Having upgraded from beowulf to chimaera on a long-standing system, in which everything was most likely to break, the most time-consuming steps I encountered were: * Loads of customised configuration to update based on new configuration templates * A few stopped services I forgot to decommission, inducing failures on package update restart hooks * A poorly written network pre-up hook managing DHCPv6 which back-fired All in all, a rather smooth upgrade overall, even though it might be too soon to be peremptory about it. It also be be noted that this was a server, hence a rather "simple" environment, involving no GUI nor fancy network management tools. As an anecdote, I (re?)learnt about the "proposed" repository thanks to the release notes !

Re: [DNG] Announcing Devuan 4.0: Chimaera!
Dear Friends and Software Freedom Lovers, Devuan Developers are pleased to announce the release of Devuan Chimaera 4.0 as the project's newest stable release. This is the result of lots of painstaking work by the team and extensive testing by the wider Devuan community. I'm sorry to report that I tried a dist-upgrade from devuan beowulf with KDE on an older machine. The result was a system with a nonfunctional window manager and messed-up display resolution, and no working Ethernet connection (and no wifi hardware). I'm going to try a clean install next. Fortunately I keep my /home filesystem on a separate partition. -bobmon ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

One thing that I couldn’t find in the Debian Bullseye release notes is that the Nvidia 340xx legacy driver is no longer present in Debian Bullseye/Devuan Chimaera. For anyone with older hardware only supported by the 340xx driver the alternatives appear to be switching to nouveau driver on Chimaera or stay on Beowulf with 340xx driver. -- Tom ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
