I do not know much about logical volumes or qubes, but if you can create a fat32 "partition" and an ext4 "partition" inside a qube, then you should (possibly) be able to make a frugal install of easy into the qube.

EasyOs doesnt use a very big Fat partition, I cannot recall exactly how big, but ...

I managed to create a Qube,with the Live version of BookWorm, I think the latest version.

I have a frugal install of both bookworm and easy, side by side on the same drive and boot with grub2.
if you have bookworm installed to a qube, then I think you should be able to install easy also ...

I would like to upgrade the Grubs in place for BookwormPup64_10.0.10_nkb and KLV-vmHost.rc4.
It seems that grub 2.03 makes the USB boot in place of the internal drive even if the selection in the bios is first to boot the internal drive.
Both the USB and internal drives are using UUID in the boot ...

In limine it's done with the RESOLUTION stanza parameter.

If I understand your question correctly, you have the limine menu where you want it, but what follows, where you make further choices as the boot progresses needs to be larger or smaller?

If you are using Limine, refind has been ...

with puppy you dont have to choose between, like with other distros.

two frugal installs can exist side by side. spend some time exploring each or simply reboot into the other frugal if it works better for the job at hand

in addition to dding an image to a dedicated disk, EasyOs supports what we call a "frugal" install, which sounds like what you are attempting in your qubes template.

about the middle of this page, https://easyos.org/install/easy-frugal-installation.html has some grub tips.

At the home level I ...

I feel, what you are saying is" I should abandon the Qubes OS for Easy OS.....
I suspect your point is; Easy OS Containers can serve the same function as Qubes.......

Easy containers may well serve your needs and if you have suggestions or questions, you have come to the right place. I have ...

The online world has become quite complex for sure. There are many conversations in this forum that address some of the privacy or security issues you mention above.

EasyOs is described by Barry as experimental and offers security features of its own.

Thank you Barry Kauler for choosing such an ...

I think the files that copied were not actually encrypted as they are publically available from the server and there is no point in encrypting them.

I am not sure what you mean when you state the new system "boots encrypted" when in fact the copied .sessions is not viable. I would not expect the ...

I tried restoring a downloaded Daedalus 6.6.5 image using GDisk on MX linux and then copying my folders from a configured system. That gave me a base system with encryption but left the system unconfigured;
Hence my question.

Did you copy the hidden folder .sessions?

Returning to this as I tried copying EasyOS from an existing configured system to a new usb disk, one with a fast write speed. Unfortunately when I rebooted the system loaded without encryption, ie no password requested. Back to the situation described by my post https://forum.puppylinux.com ...

instead of deleting the "a little humor" thread maybe we shouldve just deleted the political posts and locked it

Easyos has appi, an appimage package manager. Apps in easyos can be installed to run as their own user rather than root. Check the repo for librewolf and perhaps request it be added to the repo if not already present.

just of the top of my head,
should you find a config for ranger that works for the console, but not in X, then maybe an alternative ranger config could be called by /root/.xinitrc when X is launched

williwaw

these directories are owned by root, so anything that has root privileges can write.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if your browser runs as spot and has a vulnerability that allows a remote attack to write an arbitrary file, the attacker can write /home/spot (which is owned by spot), therefore ...

williwaw

hope you can post a video when you get in spinning!
it looks like a rewarding project.

dd-ing the partition retained the permission complexities

if I understand correctly, you managed to dd the partition on to an existing disk without disturbing the windows install?
can you share the command?

I don't see /initrd/pup_ro1? I see others I can identify, like pup_a, pup_ro2,3,4,y, z, etc...those correspond to various sfses loaded at boot time, but no pup_ro1? This is in S15Pup32 22.12 250402...could it be that using the kernel parameter "nocopy" prevents a pup_ro1 being populated?

If I understand what's being said correctly, if you're running all in ram, but you download, install a package, the package can still write to the save through the layered filesystem, just because you don't tell it to save what's in ram doesn't mean you can't write to it. You just have to know ...

Here's a little experiment for you.

yes, an eye opener.

Can a remaster (that includes the additional apps that one would normally keep in a save) be utilized to effect the security presumed above?
ie. the "benefit" of operating in pupmode 13 without saving?

williwaw

I'm confused looking at this.
I thought that using PUPMODE 13 and not saving was a protection.
Then always starting with this when doing any setting changes, but not after this has been up and then only saving for this was the way the protection would continue.

It looks like there is quite a lot ...

I am following your comments about security fixes for puppy (fossa) in another thread, and am curious how often security fixes for bookworm are applied to vanilladpup 10.0.x ?
