Wow forum is sloooow to load today.

Barry, I haven't done too much with containers yet but I had a couple questions. When you drag a file from outside to inside and then edit it, are you editing the original file from outside or a copy stored inside the container? If outside does that not potentially provide a mechanism for circumventing the container security?

Is it possible to install Anbox in EasyOS. https://anbox.io. It is Android in a Box.

' Anbox puts the Android operating system into a container, abstracts hardware access and integrates core system services into a GNU/Linux system. Every Android application will be integrated with your operating system like any other native application.'

Hi Barry,
Regarding the audacious skins: audacious of course has several different interfaces which are built as plugins so they can be selected at runtime rather than needing a recompile.
The skinned interface uses old Winamp skins and is not the same as the (fantastic) default gtk2 interface. It might just be that you need to enable the plugin.

I am having difficulty installing onto a hard drive. The hard drive I am installing to is not a primary drive. The primary drive is a Windows 10 drive. I was able to do it for a while, but not anymore. Here was what I did and what happened:

1. I formatted the drive, created gpt partition, created the first fat32 partition of 2G, flagged it with esp and boot.

2. Created a second partition EXT4

3. copy these files and folder to the fat32 partition

4. Modified the file to reflect the Hard drive ID

5. boot from this drive

Refind load, boot menu shows, but it unable to find the boot drive: "Error, boot drive not found". after repeated scanning including the drive where i put those files.

I have tried other distros with no problem at all, for example TENS, formerly LPS. in this case it is very easy, I just copied everything to the fat32 partition, and BOOM. That is all I need, nothing needs to be modified.

thanks

PS:

I was never able to install it on to primary drive. the primary drive is a NVME with windows 10. It does not detect the new boot partition and goes straight to windows during booting, regardless whether using windows boot manager or boot from the drive itself.
any idea?

Barry, one program that I miss in Easy is Midnight Commander. Being old school I tend to do more from console than from graphic window for file management and I've always used mc in the past.

I even went so far as installing pkgsrc in Easy to get it. Couldn't find a working pet (they all seem to be 32 bit).

That's my suggestion for additions in future.

I havent managed to get audio from my speakers. Easy or Beaver.
My audio is card 1
Alsamixer is at max. Adjusting aumix the volume bar moves but instantly resets to 0.
I presume its not talking to anything.
etc/asound.conf is card 1 device 0.
I dont know if it needs an aumixrc file or what would go in it.

tigs, can you update 0.9 to 0.91 after installing? I did that without any issues. I didn't do a fresh install so I didn't encounter any problems like you did.

Also, from what I've read some Win 10 installations will not recognize other "foreign" primary HD boot partitions. I believe my laptop mfr (Toshiba) is one of the guilty party. I got around that in a bit of a convoluted way. I had been using Lick to install puppies in my Win 10 partition (disabling quickboot in Win) before discovering Easy. Now the Lick (Grub4DOS) boot menu has a line to boot my second fat32 boot partition with Easy on it.

Here it is, Easy Pyro 0.9.3 (64-bit)!

Blog announcement:

http://bkhome.org/news/201805/easy-pyro-093-released.html

Using it now, runs real nice. I really have "gone to town", throwing in apps to cover just about every possible user requirement.

Getting a bit too big though. I think around 400MB is ok, will attempt to bring it closer to that next time.

Oh yes, SeaMonkey has been bumped, now 2.49.3.
