Thanks for the info :)
It was a simple thing in the end.

(edit) It seems that it auto-logins sometimes. Will look into that(/edit)

Fredx181 Please Help, New 6 year old Laptop, that I Plan 2 Max Out w/ 8GB RAMemory & Run M$ Virus Bait as Guest in VirtualBox ( under control as if it were in a Strait Jacket! :lol: ), hence the Requirement in this instance 4 x64 Debi'Dog, My Problem is w/ Both apt-get & Synaptic Package Manager...

E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/compiz-debian.list (dist parse )
E: The list of sources could not be read.

The 1st Line of the sources list Looks like this...

# debdog64 repository

Wot should it look like? or be Formatted?

Of course I've Spent Too much Time w/ the Self Help Therapy & Drawn a Blank!

Hi Max,

Probably "jessie" is missing in that line, so edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/compiz-debian.list :

Code: Select all

leafpad /etc/apt/sources.list.d/compiz-debian.list
And make it this

Code: Select all

deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/compiz/debian jessie main
Save the file.
And then:

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get install compiz-reloaded
Fred

Yes, install chromium and from terminal:

Code: Select all

chromium --no-sandbox --disable-infobars
Or edit the .desktop file for chromium in /usr/share/applications:

Code: Select all

Exec=chromium --no-sandbox --disable-infobars
Then run Chromium from Menu

@Max Headroom

Your menu.lst looks fine to me, your saveme.dat is almost full ? Then resize again or delete some files.
If you go with filemanager in /mnt/saved, select all , right-click 'How Big' you can see where's the most space taken in the save storage.

OK, please check the following:
- what's in /var/log/porteus-livedbg, it should be;

Code: Select all

# Changes are stored in:
/mnt/sda1/live/saveme.dat
- output of:

Code: Select all

df -h /mnt/live/memory/changes
And see what's the size, used, available in save storage

Maybe the resizing didn't work out well, that could be because you resized while savefile was in use.
I'd say, try to resize again from booting without save (Always fresh boot option)

@Max, thanks for the screenshot, it looks like your savefile is around 1GB and the resizing didn't work properly, try resizing again from "Always fresh" boot (resize should be done when savefile not in use), if still not as expected, then better start all over again with creating a completely new savefile, as you wish, size 3.2 GB.
Edit: as for your question about if FAT32 makes any difference, for me booting and saving from FAT32 (with savefile) works OK as with any other filesystem.

It's in /usr/local/bin, "conkytoggle.sh"

Hi 007_james_bond,

It's a hack, but it works:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/geteuid/getppid/' /usr/bin/vlc
Note, when you upgrade vlc, /usr/bin/vlc will be overwritten, so you have to do it again.

Hi 007_james_bond. There are reasons why vlc is set to not run as root, so whilst that can be worked around you should at least consider the implications of doing so. Similar to running a browser as root. The more probable way into a system is via the likes of such programs (along with email and other doors such as upgrades).

Puppy's running as root from a read only medium such as CD along with physical isolation from other systems/devices (other PC's on the same LAN segment, local HDD etc.) is relatively OK (can still be a issue with respect to hardware i.e. BIOS flashing). Contained within a jail or container and again OK. HDD frugal (or fully) installed ... not OK, more so if being run from within a corporate LAN segment.

@Fred Thanks again Fred. You are genius. :)
@rufwoof Thanks rufwoof for your security concern. I normally run both chromium and vlc as user but I wanted to know whether its possible or not to run them as root like puppy. I thought it might be useful if I know how to run them as root.

Please can somebody Help Me Fix the Wireless on this intel DQ45CB Desktop 3 GHz Core2 Duo w/ 6 GB RAMemory, where the Nano USB Wireless Network Adapter is Linux Friendly & is Working w/ M$ Virus Bait 7 Pro 64 bit & was Working w/ XenialDog ( Ubuntu 16.04 'Xenial Xeru' LTS, 32-bit )

I Think the Problem is...

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wlan0 error: No such file or directory

But I don't know How 2 Fix it

I've Done All the Updates via apt-get & Synaptic Package Manager & Also Tried WiCD Network Manager, But the WiCD couldn't find Any Wireless Connections!

So I Re installed Frisbee, Now I'm back 2 where I Started

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wlan0 error: No such file or directory
:cry:
