Porteus

frozen_bubble - a "#!/usr/bin/perl" script based game - for 5.0rc1

Recently, I was going through the log and found this entry: Apr 15 15:24:16 porteus kernel: [ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz changes=/mnt/sdb1/save/save.dat i8042.nopnp initcall_blacklist=dw_i2c_init_driver initrd=/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz I hope the BOOT_IMAGE is name for...

bhuyan_ca, you did a double post that was exactly the same, I deleted the other post. successfully installed porteus v05rc1 and really like the speed and simplicity. I am however unable to download any new packages using USM. As long as Porteus is in rc1 (or rc2 stage) USM is not available. I really...

Has anyone experience with Xen running as Hypervisor ?
You can get XEN e.g. here: https://xcp-ng.org/#easy-to-install
And an explanation how to set it up is here: https://www.linuxmuster.net/en/download-en/ (Example for using XEN and the build-for-School project linuxmuster.net)

Could it the the mess the USA is currently in is self-made? E.g. bad decisions in the recent past by the still governing USA administration? Lets ask the internet, shall we? https://abload.de/img/usa-unprepared-for-pagxjnm.png Oh, no preparedness for a pandemic since Mai of 2018. Who would have gues...

I really like the statistic filehort provides when you use a free (as in beer) account… and upload files when logged in. As of now, 010-nvidia-340.108-k.5.4.30-porteus-v5.0-x86_64_rava.xzm has 8 downloads, while the version for older 5.4.19 kernel uploaded 03.03.2020 only has 7. Seems it was a good ...

What do you think of the Swedish approach? I think the Swedish people will not be that different from e.g. Germans. Unlike the Italians we all seem to not have a 2nd behaviour mode - an mode for catastrophes. In Germany, the weekend where Bavaria was the first to install restrictions (20th March) o...

@beny and rava:
Did you used sbopkg or sbopkg_gui?

Currently I have no program that needs compiling, so no.

^ Do they plan to reduce the measurements? At least in Germany it is obvious that even now too many people do not get it that a too steep curve is not only a potential danger to themselves but to others as well. Then again, most have been following the trend of the last decades: consume and ignore h...

I don't get what you mean by that.

Since from the time of posting the above and now there have been 3 downloads, but no comment in this thread. Therefore I presume all who downloaded it ran into no issue and it works for them as it works for me. Happy Easter, late Lailat Al-Bara'ah and/or late Passah to everyone who celebrates these,...

do you have Menu > Administration > Porteus Settings Centre?

Good find, Ed_P, I hardly use the PSC so I did not recall that detail.

In my case that is to be found as Menu > System > Porteus Settings Centre

Your scripts as I see, will also revert the brightness to the set parameter for each boot. This works. Though, I was looking for a way to "save" the brightness level across sessions, so that brightness set in one session is set again when I log on the next time. (Not the linux session, session in g...

I'm gonna stick with part of the solution, to just change the name of the guest account to something that I want. The directories may still show guest, that's okay for now. Be aware that I edited my above post, I forgot you need to edit more than just the two files I first mentioned. Please refer t...
