It works but sometime -cause of the ad popups- it might not work the first time...
I'll try to activate the free leech of the file when I can so people will not have that issues

Hello again.
I have another question.
How can I enable the login screen/box in StretchDog64 ?
Thanks again in advance

By installing a login manager, I'd recommend slim: Will install custom slim package, with menu entry enable/disable
After install (and reboot) it will be enabled and autologin as root, to change that, go in /etc/slim.conf and edit e.g: as desired e.g. default as another user or "auto_login no"

It doesn't work. Maybe it is because I'm using ROXpinboard.

Btw, I have made and tried google-talkplugin_current_amd64.deb_170905_v01_.squashfs https://1fichier.com/?6iyjgicx96 it works well with Chromium.
Also, skypeforlinux-64_170801d-deb_v01.squashfs works but it need v5+ skype from the other side to communicate (skype is droping support for v4)

Strange, works for me, what exactly doesn't work ?
ROXpinboard or not doesn't matter, btw.

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! ), 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!

Also I couldn't find where 2 get the sources list 4 Compiz-Debian or Compiz Reloaded, Any Clues? Please & Thanx

:)K

Hi Max,

Probably "jessie" is missing in that line, so edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/compiz-debian.list : And make it this Save the file.
And then: Fred

Yes, install chromium and from terminal: Or edit the .desktop file for chromium in /usr/share/applications: 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.

Fred

Thanx 4 Your Reply Fred, But Me saveme.dat Container is Already 3.2GB & it's hardly got anything in it apart from System Updates, Opera & Compiz ( Compiz Not working Yet! )

OK, please check the following:
- what's in /var/log/porteus-livedbg, it should be; - output of: And see what's the size, used, available in save storage

Fred

So Fred the Porteus Livedbg seems as yoU said it should be, But the Command Output is at Odds w/ what Properties of saveme.dat being 3.2 GB, I'm Confused

Thanx again 4 Your Help...

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)

Fred

Oops I Forgot 2 Post the ScreenShot

Also another Consideration Occurred 2 Me that it's Fat32, have yoU had any issues or eXperience w/ that ?

Thank you Fred for solution. I have another request. I want to know how conkytoggle works. How can I get the script?

@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.

@007_james_bond

Thank you Fred for solution. I have another request. I want to know how conkytoggle works. How can I get the script?

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

Fred

Thank you Fred. Another little problem. when i download chromium vlc also downloded but vlc dose not work as root but work fine as puppy user. How I can run vlc as root also?
