Porteus

The Xdialog and kdialog files appear to be missing since a script I have that uses them doesn't work in 5.0.

And rc.local_shutdown is not displaying savedat file usage when shutting down.

Thank you donald. Any comment on the need for the logs?

it does not see ANYTHING from that drive, "it"? What is "it", your boot menu? Your BIOS menu? Your EFI menu? A grub2 menu? How many drives do you have? Is the USB drive still plugged in? What "bootable USB" did you have? Where did you get it? How was it made bootable? I suppose you didn't backup yo...

The entry in /etc/rc.d/rc.local is executed once and only once when the system boots. The entry in /etc/xdg/autostart is executed every time X comes up. :shock: Amazing the stuff I don't know.

I have Windows 10 on a BIOS based Acer netbook, so no EFI is not required. Not sure if GPT partitioning is required.

A nice find otan. How did you find it? What does suspend-hybrid do?

I found the gsettings' hibernate option works better than suspend for my battery when the lid is closed.

Have you changed the pc's BIOS/UEFI startup options to boot the USB stick 1st?

For my notebook's touchpad I have a script that customizes some of the settings. In /etc/xdg/autostart I have a desktop file which runs the script. (the same desktop and script files from Porteus 4.0) The script runs because the result of a syndaemon command in it are evident but the synclient setti...
