[DNG] The Daedalus desktop needs some love
Greetings! HELP WANTED! Might that be YOU? Devuan needs someone to take over the branded theming of the Xfce desktop going forward. While I can still do colors, integrating them into the templates has become too much for my old brain to navigate. This is not a trivial task. The many pieces that need to be coordinated are described in this HOW-TO: https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documentation/src/branch/master/art/graphics/theming-devuan.md I am happy to mentor/collaborate as needed. So who would like to help make the Daedalus desktop beautiful? golinux ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
Re: [DNG] A number of question about version 4.0
For standard users (#2), I ran into the problem and was too lazy to set up LDAP, so I wrote a perl script we can run on our machines. Feel free to use it and complain about anything you want that I didn't put in it. http://kb.unixservertech.com/unix/linux/sysadmin/syncusers We generally run this script on new machines to give us a standard setup, and also used it to standardize several servers that had old users on it that should have been removed. If it decides to eat your machine, I never heard of you :). Rod On 1/13/22 7:00 PM, Larry Linder via Dng wrote: > I have loaded and it connects up to our network without a problem. > > 1.
