Have you guys tested the new kernel 6.9? It seems there's a 10% performance drop when compared to 6.8.9.

Thanks a lot, guys!

2. fixed some Intel bluetooth devices not being detected
3. fixed GUI related cheatcodes not always being loaded

OK, things are starting to make sense now.

The way Puppy is applying AUFS patches are somehow funny:

for i in kbuild base standalone mmap; do #loopback tmpfs-idr vfs-ino
patchfile=../aufs_sources/aufs${aufs_version}-$i.patch
( echo ; echo "patch -N -p1 < ${patchfile##*/}" ) &>> ${BUILD_LOG ...

I realized that by applying the AUFS patch the way you guys are doing prevent modules from being able to be mounted from inside the union -- no problem mounting them from outside the union though (like a physical storage unit).

Example: get a sfs/xzm module, copy to ~/Desktop and try to mount ...

You guys are super kind and supportive! I appreciate that a lot! :)

@rockedge, thanks to your .config file I managed to find that what was causing the problem was not my .config file, but how I was patching AUFS. It's all working now, although I have no idea why it worked for 1 year and it decided ...

@Dry Falls, do you mind pointing out where exactly you found this aufs documentation?

Thanks!

Surprisingly it works! So ...

@bugnaw333 , AppImages can be really handy, but it's up to the person who builds each module to include what they think is needed. Most people pack AppImages using big distros like Ubuntu or Fedora, so when we try to use them in minimalist distros they simply don't work. What I don't understand is ...

porteux

Oh, cool! Happy it's working now

What is your overall impression of the distro? Any suggestion?

Thanks!

porteux

Thank you guys for testing PorteuX.

@bugnaw333, it's not clear what exactly happened in your case. Could you explain it a bit better?
