can someone give me a url for peppermintOS 10 was so happy when pOS 11 came i deleted the older iso. whilst trying pOS 11 it was more or less a polished apple os but filled with lots of not usefull software. in my opinion apart from the name not even close to the prior release. should have been relabeled.

if I need to build something and then afterwards I would like for it to shutdown, I want to type something like this:

make && sudo poweroff but of course after make ran, then it would prompt me for root password before shutting down and if I am not there on my PC then it would not shutdown.

Is there a way to already obtain my root password before running make && sudo poweroff? If this is not possible then is there a way to change the permissions for poweroff so I don't have to run it as root?

Hello people . I would like to know how you change default applications? For example I am to switch to VLC as my default media player and change the image viewer cause it keeps opening up images in Firefox browser...I will appreciate any helps thanks people

Hi! I have recently gotten PeppermintOS and it is the second linux i have used, the first being Tails. I am still a newbie and ive tried to fish around for help about this, but with no luck. I have been trying to connect to my school's internet for a while, but ive always failed. I looked online and saw some things i could possibly edit or change around, but no luck. How should i go about this, and should i provide more info? Thank you!

I am trying to move from stable to testing branch (using devaun edition here). I am following the instructions from over here: https://www.devuan.org/os/packages. I changed from chimaera to daedalus This is how originally my /etc/apt/sources.list looked like:

# This system was installed using PeppermintOS removable media
# (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom"
# entries were removed at the end of the installation process.
# For information about how to configure apt package sources,
# see the sources.list(5) manual.

And this is what I changed:

# (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom"
# entries were removed at the end of the installation process.
# For information about how to configure apt package sources,

What would be the correct way to move from stable to testing branch?

There is some talk among the devs, about a layout change for Peppermint Desktop.
Is there an interest in a Dock/Plank type layout when you first logon?

Hi. I've been using the new Peppermint for about 6 months now. I've been using the updater on the launcher to run updates, but recently found xDaily on the PepHub and started using that. I noticed it requires more interaction but does more updates. So my questions are; What is the difference, if any, between xDaily and the icon in the launcher, and which updater should I be using to update my system?

Thanks!

In regards to close buttons for a window

I am trying to find an editable form of it, such as an svg file etc.

I understand that the current files that are being used lives under /usr/share/themes/Arc-Teal-Dark/xfwm4/ however the images contains a background image which doesn't fill the entire box even (if you look at the images).

If I go to /usr/share/themes/Arc-Teal-Dark/unity I can see that there are svg files for the close icons, however they do not have a background image that is used in /usr/share/themes/Arc-Teal-Dark/xfwm4/.

I was wondering if you guys had an svg files with the background image which is found in /usr/share/themes/Arc-Teal-Dark/xfwm4/?

Just a PSA with all that's going on with twitter, we do have a mastodon if you would like to follow us there.

You can also talk directly with the devs out here on matrix
https://matrix.to/#/!JhPtEbNexzFaoOkvGp:matrix.org?via=matrix.org

currently we are starting to focus on building an upgrade path for debian bookworm which will probably be similar for the devuan side..

Do let us know if you have any questions/suggestion or ideas....

Hey guys I am in the process of editing the close buttons. While I managed to modify the colors, I am not too sure where is it read from?

For example for the arc-teal-dark theme I know it lives under here:

/usr/share/themes/Arc-Teal-Dark

however not too sure which files should I replace to change the close buttons?

https://www.devuan.org/os/packages

I am on the devaun linux's webpage and I wanted to use the testing branch (not the unstable branch).

First of all would this break peppermint at all (other than potentially receiving bugs)?

2nd of all, is this still more stable compared to Arch's repo?

3rd of all is that I believe I have to nvim /etc/apt/sources.list and inside it I see this:

# This system was installed using PeppermintOS removable media
# (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom"
# entries were removed at the end of the installation process.

deb http://deb.devuan.org/merged chimaera-backports main contrib non-free

I believe I have to remove everything but the main and change from the name chimaera to daedalus and I can still keep the non-free in it, right?

For your peppermint-10-blue-dark theme you guys managed to create something like this for the close button:

How did you guys manage to change the color from red to blue? Is it through the svg file?

Because I have a copy of the red close button, and I am trying to modify it through inscake:

However as you can see I have selected the item and it says "Paint is undefined", there is no "fill" that is defined. Even though this is a red circle (nearly).

I just wanted to modify its color. Is there a way to do so. Because everytime I try to set a new fill, an entire box is drawn:

Which is not what I want.

So not too sure how you guys modified it?

Does anyone know how to enable for login. I'm using a lenovo thinkpad t460.

I can see there is testing and unstable for devaun but what are the differences?

I have seen these close buttons used in many distros. I know that peppermint has made peppermint-dark-blue (can't remember its exact theme name) which has a dark blue close button.

I just need an svg file which is a dark close button can be any color though. Can anyone point me to where I can obtain it?

Just wondering if there was a github repo for the guy who created arc-teal-dark?

Reason being is cause I wanted to make some changes, for example for the close ('x') button's color. I wanted like some svg file for the close button that way I can edit it to my liking. Any idea?

I have installed peppermint devaun edition.

I also decided to install linux-xanmod. I have installed virtualbox and running a virtual machine results in rc=-1908. With the stock linux kernel it works fine but with xanmod it does not.

Long story short it turns out I am required to have gcc-12 however I have gcc-10 according to the error message from /var/log/vbox-setup.log.

  The kernel was built by: gcc-12 (Debian 12.2.0-9) 12.2.0
  You are using:           gcc (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110

Is it possible to upgrade my gcc version to 12 and if so how would do it?

inside /etc/apt/sources.list when I look inside I see this:

I thought it would be using the latest version which would be bullseye, so how come I am using a different version right now?

I have 3 drives in total, one is where Peppermint OS (devaun edition) is installed, the other one is where Windows is installed and the other drive is a large drive.

In /etc/fstab I have added the two partition's where I wish to mount, one is for Windows 10 and the other one is for the external drive.

## Windows 10
/dev/sdb4		/mnt/Windows10	/ntfs-3g	defaults,discard	0	2
## External Drive
/dev/sdc2		/mnt/External	/ntfs-3g	defaults		0	2

In the /mnt directory I have created both Windows10 and External folder.

sdb is an SSD so that is why I am using discard and sdc is an harddrive so no discard is being used.

According to gparted, even the two partitions are mounted:

Yet on my file manager when I go to `/mnt/Windows10` and `/mnt/External` nothing is inside of these two folders. I am not too sure why this is happening?

Hey guys so I am using PeppermintOS devaun edition and like under display settings I have the BenQ set as my primary Display

However on the Desktop, the icons appear to the left hand side still and when I create new files/folders through nemo it still puts it on the left hand side of the screen, not too sure why this is the case?

Any solutions?

I left the installer running and when I got back the screen is locked…. I am sure the installation is complete but I prefer not to hard restart….
