Re: EasyOs 6.0.4 sessions load/save issue? [SOLVED]
Sort of related. I've been a bit over zealous with the "running in RAM option". For reasons I still don't know I ticked the 'permanent' box when shutting down and choose the save last session in RAM at next boot up. That prompted me with a permanent option. Ticked that box. How do I revert this? I ...

Re: No sound over HDMI
It's me again. I have this new (second hand) Lenovo ThinkCentre and all the above issues do NOT apply anymore. NO issues with sound whatsoever. So the former issues where machine specific. Just needed to say that as so many of you where helping me out to get it solved and again thank you all for ...

Re: How to install OpenVPN in Fusilli?
@OscarTalks Just tried to configure vpn on/off which wasn't that hard to do but did hit a snag.
Couldn't create a symlink and name it as you described in the README. (F96-CE). Will give it another shot.

Jasper thanks for that. I have been using the command line for using Nord on my bare metal machine for 2 years now and that installs quite easily via "curl". Setup in minutes, nordvpnd running right of the bat, no fuss. Puppy works differently (stating the obvious) and I tried to install via the ...

How to install OpenVPN in Fusilli?
Hi everyone. I'm taking F96-CE for a test walk and this weekend I will see to get my NordVPN started. Is there a way to install Open VPN on Fusilli? EDIT: Good distro, I like it so far after a week using it as a daily driver. There is a "VPN App" on Fusilli which seems to be not working/discontinued ...

Hi there Are you using a subscription based VPN? If your moving forwards with a frugal installation. It would be useful to inform members what storage device you plan to use and size.

The previous installs of .1 I made on my PC all "failed ...
