It would be great to have a tool so the user could click in a window to select its own desktop manager (JWM, XFCE, KDE, the standard packages published we get doing apt-get install xfce or apt-get install kde for exemple ) and then the program install the new desktop and remove the previous desktop...

@BarryK You may be pleased to know that other than showing ?two bluetooth icons in the tray for some reason, my troublesome laptop is, at this stage, troublesome no more. It seems to have installed to the ssd ok. I have yet to test anything though and the sound was set as muted when started. I shal...

different laptop (hp) and problem so separated from my troublesome laptop problem.

I have a laptop with touchscreen and touchpad below the keyboard, Loaded buster 2.2 ok. ?How do I turn off the touchpad as I can't seem to find a place that turns just it off without loosing the touchscreen also.

@BarryK I sadly agree that pyro has reached it's limits without a major rebuild and time, however it's at a good place to stop. I've been trolling through the kernel 5.4 problem reports and changelogs trying to find something related to my problem and have got up to 5.4.10 (the latest) which has onl...

@Barryk, Pyro 1.3 will load ok on a memory stick and once fully installed on the stick it wiill run ok on the troublesome laptop, but my troublesome laptop just kernel panics if you try to do the stage2 install step (expand sdb2) on the laptop. Buster 2.2 on startup> Boot-partition: sdb1 Working-par...

A warning to all, and so I thought this would be of general interest.

Barry,

1- what about a non-x container? The equivalent to not running winx to start with, but in a container, any ideas? Thanks.

2- seems to have a kcc - gcc link missing in dev-x.

It's a new USB 3.0 stick out of a blister package with a very strange fat32 starting sector. Haven't copied anything to it yet only looked into it with gparted. What are your thoughts about it? Is it an attempt to kill 'Linux on USB'? I've seen it before with efi formatted drives (reserves director...

just a note that http://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/amd64/packages/pet is just giving error 403 and ~/compat gives it on the first attempt but is ok afterwards. Downloading pyro 1.3 and it's devx now, looking forward to testing sunday when I have my troublesome ssd laptop back, alex is coming across w...

Or just replace /etc/hosts with something like this> # This MVPS HOSTS file is a free download from: http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm for the latest. The one added below has mods that makes ggoogle use real ports and blocks the others so you might want to checck it out anyway. appologies for ty...

@BarryK, downloading 2.1.11 to try, however 2.1.9.1 did work ok, it was only the pyro that wouldn't and gave problems. I shall test anyway.


@TerryH, so your on 3 Mile Lake( or nearby), doubt it's like it was back in 1988 when I was there.

There was a post requesting that SFSget be able to run offline. That was @ras : http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1041095#1041095 Done, plus a bridge between EasyContainers and SFSget: https://bkhome.org/news/201912/sfsget-now-has-offline-mode.html And maybe since your playing with EasyC...

@prell I know i'm coming into this late, but as there's a number of Chromebook Acer R11 CB3's out there, which do you have please? The numbers after the CB3-xxx-Cxx should tell me it's hardware and firmware configuration, thanks. The Part number would help too (something like NX.G4XEK.001). Also is ...

Oh, I thought you were just putting a basic 1.2.10 out so we could test it to see if the updated kernel fixed the usb/ssd problem. They are up to 5.4.5 already with the kernel, the .4 to .5 is basically comms related fixes, but .3 to .4 were generally important so if your delaying, a further kernel...

Something to check, try checking for required package versions, thunderbird does look at required packages and their versions before it will actually update you. In other words it will update you to the last available version that doesn't break your mail system.

This may be of interest https://itsfoss.com/gksu-replacement-ubuntu/ and of course the homepage is https://www.nongnu.org/gksu/ which explains a lot. Thanks for the links. I see gksu is gone from Debian Buster also. Yeah, and everywhere, although the older package sources are avaiable still if you ...

Can I take it the pyro files 1.2.10 are coming somewhere soon. Yes, I was hoping to release 1.3 and 2.2 before Christmas. With the 5.4.3 kernel. Note, I just did a post to blog about the 5.4.3 kernel. Oh, I thought you were just putting a basic 1.2.10 out so we could test it to see if the updated k...
