For going into developer mode just once, you most probably just need to connect an external Mac type USB keyboard. Some keyboards come in 2 flavours: PC and Mac (like the famous Logitech MX Keys for example). Obviously this could also be a permanent solution in case you plan to use the laptop as a d...

Please, refine your english, because what you mean can only be interpreted. To install EasyOS itself on a QEmu virtual machine looks to be an interesting topic. I don't know if it's even possible at the moment, but I think that this thread should be anyway moved to the Containers and VMs section.

I discovered that it's possible to switch color theme on Geany , since the version 1.22 (we are currently using v 1.38). Generally speaking, a dark theme is more comfortable for the eyes, it is somehow less tiring to be working for several hours in front of a screen when using a dark theme. Furtherm...

Just updated to the 5.8.3 from the 5.8.1. Firefox not working, but I've never used it. The new included version of Ungoogled Chromium (125) is much faster to launch than the AppImage which I was previously using. I was also able to fully transfer my profile (including all extensions) from the AppIma...

@ BarryK, @ all for sure we know that Ungoogled Chromium is freely released by people who freely take over the task of searching the whole Chromium source code and removing by hand all traces of Google spying / collecting user data and sending it to some server. For every new Chromium version someon...

Federico

@ all So, I restarted the system and, as usual, the X server did not start: - Black screen - System fan spinning fast - Command prompt still available through Ctrl+Alt+F2 at this point I was going to format the usb stick once again. But I thought: why not to try it on my desktop first (Nvidia RTX 30...

@ Caramel It did not only run, we have used it for an hour without even the smallest issue. The connection between Germany and Italy ran also silk smooth, without any stuttering or disconnection, even if the internet connection was only average fast. So, basically, QV already works quite well. The b...

@ Caramel /usr/lib/libpam.so.0 is a symbolic link to libpam.so.0.85.1 . I renamed it and rebooted. This time AnyDesk still does not work, but I do get some errors: # ./anydesk (process:5806): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 17:21:47.008: invalid (NULL) pointer instance (process:5806): GLib-GObject-CRITIC...

After installing the KDE meta package kde5-6.0.4_2 Konqueror still does not work, but at least for us it's not that important. The important point is Dolphin with root access and that was my fault: I did not read fully the instructions from PKGget . So, sorry, I apologize. To get system wide root ac...

Version 5.8.3 will have significant fixes: "Snapshot exclusions bug fix" https://bkhome.org/news/202405/snapshot-exclusions-bug-fix.html "Kernel AMD GPU disaster fixed" https://bkhome.org/news/202405/kernel-amd-gpu-disaster-fixed.html ...that latter post means the kernel will be...

as you have already noticed by yourself, https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=118617#p118617, Ungoogled Chromium offers several privacy advantages over simple Chromium or Google Chrome (absence of Google stuff).

It follows my report (V 240506). SOFTWARE: AnyDesk --> NOT working (the window doesn't show up, the tray icon disappears after 5 seconds and no errors are reported) I confirm. Still the PAM problem. with the same solution: rename (or move) /usr/lib/libpam.so.0 and reboot. Thank you Caramel. I'm goi...

SOFTWARE: German translation --> working (I think that "Befehl" is more suitable for translating "command") KDE Dolphin --> working (there's an issue with version 24.02.2: there's no way to gain root privileges. I tried to install a pair of versions of the package kio-admin , to...

At the end, is the official name "Quirky Void" or "Quantum Vis" ? It follows my report (V 240506). HARDWARE: Video --> working (Intel Iris Xe - Intel i915 - buggy screen detection, may have something to do with the system's shutdown procedure) Audio --> working Network --> workin...

Federico

As far as I know (been using EasyOS since Buster), these have never worked. These settings have never been automatic (and were probably never meant to be automatic): one must set them every time the system boots, but that doesn't require more than 1 or 2 seconds. It is so fast that it became an auto...

If you don't like / want the hibernation when you close the lid, if I remember well, you can just edit the file lid.sh file, located inside the folder /etc/acpi/ and simply comment the line which says << /usr/sbin/pm-suspend >>. The file should look as follows: #!/bin/sh /bin/grep -q open /proc/acpi...

What kind of hardware do you need to make this fast enough to be usable? I would say that: if using a cheap but modern laptop, it will run slow but not slow enough to be considered unusable. if using an average powered modern laptop, it will run astonishingly well, so well that one may forget to be...

Federico

@vtpup Hi, for EasyOS I have already detailed the procedure. But not by using AQEmu or any other GUI, just the command line. It works both for Windows 10 and Linux distros, but the procedure may vary according to the guest operating system you are willing to install. This should also work for Window...

Federico

Yes. To point out the situation jet better, you will for sure kmow about the Apollo 13 odissey. When they arrived to the moon, they were off-course. So, for correcting speed and direction they used the landing engine of the lunar module to slow down. As we all know, it worked. That's exactly what we...

Desktops usually have an internal cable which connects the USB headers on the motherboard to the physical ports on the front of the case. This cable introduces latency, and there may also be electromagnetic interference. So make sure to connect your USB stick directly to the motherboard (on the back...

Federico

This sounds really strange. I also have an Iris Xe laptop (Tiger Lake) on which I've been running Easy 3 years long now without any sort of problem (Dunfell first and Kirkstone later). Did you disable secure boot? Which video chip was using the old laptop? Please make sure that secure boot is disabl...

As explained here: https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=10049 the best way is to simply use X-Archive , by simply installing the package p7zip , which you'll find on the repository using PKGget . Barry has kindly taken care of compiling it and adding it to the repo. On that thread there'...

Yes, I already found further 2 pictures of him around.
Thank you.
He looks to be a really cultured and nice person.
He is more or less exactly like I imagined him.

Of course it isn't necessary. One is famous for his mind, not because of his physical aspect.
Mine was just curiosity, because you know: usually famous people / vips are easily recognizable:

Bill Gates
Steve Jobs
Linus Torvalds
Ken Thompson
etc...

Ouch, luckily that was not too bad. A couple of years ago I built my sim-racing setup and I also had to do a lot of DIY craftsmanship work on it. I also had to drill holes (16 holes) on a 3 mm thick aluminium plate. Never ever underestimate the dangers of working with metals: it is so much harder th...

@ Everyone

Sorry guys I have a small health problem which causes a certain amount of pain. Can't go on researching right now. Hope to be back in business asap.
