OK, so can it be done in some way to deal with the problem that arrises when mixing 'source package bases'?

I don't know why, but I was thinking that you were working towards a EasyOS Base (Kirkstone at present) plus individual containers for other versions such as void, deb, ubuntu, .... This may have got around the problems of changed and mixed linux's configurations as well as allow other versions to b...

I thought you may already have arranged a contact point with a void dev for problems when you decided to use void as a base for EasyVoid. Therefore there would already have been a single-point-of-contact between the two groups. That person would be therefore become the logical point to contact initi...

What do we do about updates for packages in EasyVoid when it's the Void end that needs updating? For instance one of the main packages I use "Opentoonz" I see is listed at 1.6.0 (from April 2022) in your Packages-void-current, whereas the latest working release is actually 1.7.1 (from May ...

Just wondering if your going to move into Linux 6 kernels with easyVoid anytime soon. Yes, of course I have a reason, with a "new" graphics tablet coming to me with a Coffee lake Processor (i7-8559U) and that apparently needs at least 6.2 to work "out of the box" properly and we...

I still prefer firefox and I don't get the problems others are seeing unless I do something wrong or run out of resources and cause a xerrs.log problem, sorry.

I had a similar problem with one of my graphic boxes. In the end what I tried was to get a new usb loaded on the core2 online box. I downloaded what was at the time the latest EasyOS, easydd'd it to setup the load the new easyos on the usb, DIDN'T complete the boot process on the old machine but mov...

I was wondering, since there seems to be a number of non-EasyOS packages that could be added to the list for installing, if it would be worth adding under the menu item Setup a Test-Application Sub-menu that could be added for downloading these to be added too, rather than using the running-applicat...

Crap, the FF window has flickered a couple of times while typing this post , no 3 times, lose focus. Unless you want to test FF on your computer, wait for 5.6.2 which will be back to Chromium. Reminds me, when using FF as default before, did have some GPU problems. Another annoyance, the page refre...

Firefox please. I do admit that i've always installed and used it together with Thunderbird (email) just about forever. These two I consider must-have's. I did have a go with seamonkey back when barry started with it, but found Firefox/ Eudoria more to my liking having come from CPM

Unfortunately, that's not going to work. I need all the contents of the drive/partition to be totally independant and appear as files, not a sfs or container when access normally. Thanks anyway. I shall have to rethink the idea, and maybe build an updated quirky (was to be based on your oe packages)...

scsijon

I was wondering if it's possible to have a EasyOS Container on a separate drive or partition?

The idea being to allow development of new packages/systems and thorough comparative testing with total isolation being possible across a number of versions.

I wasn't knocking what you were proposing, just initially making sure we are on the same page.

The sudo and su commands belong to the group of commands every Linux user comes across. Because they are similar in syntax and have overlapping functions, many new users are unsure when to use one over the other. Both su and sudo elevate privileges assigned to the current user, but not in the same w...

Not sure where this should be, but as EasyOS is working with the first two i thought it may be worth adding these links for those who want to read up on them.

At first bootup, when MSCW, the Multiple Sound Card Wizard, pops up, did you select the appropriate interface, then click the "Test Sound" button? This sets the levels to 100% for both ALSA and pulseaudio, and plays test sounds. If you skip testing the sound, it might be muted or levels w...
