The last 32 bit system I had (and still have) is a Toshiba Portege R500 , production year 2007 (almost 20 years ago). It was a very good machine for its time (I miss Toshiba as PC manufacturer).
The real reason why I keep this laptop is that I don't want to forget how software once was. It basically ...

Distrowatch has a policy of at least a 3-month gap between announcing new versions of a distribution.

6.0 was announced in June, so a new version can be announced.

I have to email them to let them know. They normally won't do it automatically.

Right now I'm working on improving Daedalus ...

Federico

The correct word is revolutionary . This release of Easy Daedalus is revolutionary !
Unfortunately, there's still no trace of it on DistroWatch . I don't know if someone is entitled to update the data on DistroWatch or if these data is actually only maintained by the owner(s) of the website, but at ...

Dear Barry,
I updated to v 6.4.4 and I confirm that there was no need of doing anything. KDE Dolphin still workiing perfectly (and also with extraordinary speed)! This basically means something great: in my opinion, EasyOS Daedalus is now the best Linux distribution in existence, which can also be ...

Federico

Yes

Dear Barry, if this is true, these are really great news!
I'm looking forward to testing the next versions of Easy Scarthgap and Easy Daedalus , featuring these corrections and also the new JWM 2.4.7 (to be honest I don't think that there will be many reasons to stay with Scarthgap if ...

@ BarryK and Caramel,

Dear BarryK and Caramel,

this looks really good and sounds very promising!

Do you mean that Dolphin will keep on working perfectly, even after a system update?

Will this also work on Easy Daedalus (on which it's even more important)?

Thank you so much!

Federico

I looked at the man page for kbuildsycoca5:

https://man.archlinux.org/man/kbuildsycoca5.8.en

...note, the debian kbuildsycoca5 does not support that "--global" option.

The utility writes to file ${XDG_CACHE_HOME}/ksycoca5_*
where XDG_CACHE_HOME=${HOME}/.cache
for Dolphin running as root, that ...

Dear all,
for the ones who use the KDE apps like me, I've written a small script which can be used to automatically fix the Dolphin contextual menu after the system has been updated, which is used to choose the application for opening a particular file, among all the available ones, and to define ...

Quirky Void is basically Void Linux with the same window manager and UI of EasyOS . Void Linux is a very configurable Linux distro based on the xbps package format. It adopts a rolling release model. That means: there are no updates and no versions: simply every time all packages of the distro are ...

Hello.

The commands glxinfo and glxgears are not found, and they are named glxinfo.x86_64-linux-gnu and glxgears.x86_64-linux-gnu respectively.

So, hardinfo cannot display the information about OpenGL.

Hi, as already stated on my previous post , the packages mesa-utils and mesa-utils-bin need ...

Federico

Just updated to 6.3.93. Repeated the procedure for recovering Dolphin functionality . It worked. Since it is quite simple once one has the file kf5-applications.menu , I was thinking that it could maybe be incorporated onto the system update script someway, or just added to the menu in case no other ...

Says Feedback Welcome in this link.
https://bkhome.org/news/202410/easyos-daedalus-series-version-6390-64rc.html

If I have feedback I'm going to post it.
If feedback wasn't wanted than it would not have been asked for imo.

Good day to everyone. ;)

You are perfectly right... but, for example ...

Federico

@Federico , the problem is "what are secondary problems?"

My oppinion, let's tell @BarryK all the problems that we can find and let him decide in which one is going to put his attention.

Plz, understand me, some days ago, I wrote about a problem with evidence and for sure some people consider ...

Federico

@ all

My advice is not to torment Barry with secondary problems at the moment, like browsers, print drivers et similia. Those are just details, there are thousands of ways of installing and running any browser. Those are the last details for an operating system, the things to do last. One can ...

System-wide file associations for KDE apps and likely other apps, fixed, see blog:

https://bkhome.org/news/202410/mime-handling-fix-for-kde-apps.html

Have yet to find out if user changes get lost after a version update.

Dear Barry, this sounds wonderful. Thank you! I'm looking forward to ...

Running 6.3.92, I have installed Dolphin.

Opened folder /usr/share/examples/text, right-clicked on testdoc.doc, also tried /usr/share/examples/spreadsheets, right-clicked on Sample.xls

It doesn't automatically pick up apps available to open that mime-type. For testdoc.doc, I entered "swriter ...

I noticed that the network applet only appears after several minutes after the system has fully booted. Sometimes it becomes unresponsive or disappears completely for several minutes and then it reappears again.
As long as it isn't showing, the network connection keeps on working, but it isn't ...

Federico

OK, problem solved in the following way.

1) Download the package libkf5service-data_5.103.0-1_all.deb from the Debian repo and put it somewhere.
2) Open it with XArchive using ROX Filer or any other file manager.
3) Select the file kf5-applications.menu and extract it onto the folder /etc/xdg ...

Federico

To allow the reinstallation of a package you have previously installed, you need to remove the entry of this package in /root/.packages/user-installed-packages.

Thank you. This could also be considered as a temporary solution... but, as long as this procedure isn't needed on Scarthgap , the ...

Federico

Hi Caramel,
as far as I know, there's no need to "force" anything. At least since EasyOS Dunfell I just a use a simple script on /root/Startup of the type:

#!/bin/sh
mkdir /mnt/nvme0n1p3
mkdir /mnt/nvme0n1p4
mount -t ntfs /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt/nvme0n1p3
mount -t ntfs /dev/nvme0n1p4 /mnt/nvme0n1p4 ...

Have uploaded 6.3.91

Only the .delta difference file, so you need to have easy-6.3.90-amd64.img file at /mnt/wkg

Then click on "update" icon. The .delta file is 48MB.

I tested firefox update, ran "ff-dl-update" in a terminal so as to see any error messages.
Worked, updated to ff 131.x

However ...

Federico

Didn't have the qt5 packages builtin, so didn't want libudisks2-qt5-0 builtin.

However, have removed pmusic, replaced with Audacious which is a qt5 app. So now that qt5 libs are builtin have also added libudisks2-qt5-0

I was surprised that neither DeadBeef nor Aqualung audio players are in the ...

Federico

So, Bluetooth does not work for me. I corrected my post above. It detects other devices but does not broadcast any name for itself (whereas EasyOS Scarthgap used to call itself Bluez 5.66) and cannot pair with them, Hence it cannot send or receive any data.

Federico

I have noticed that the NVidia SFS package is missing.

Federico

Did you also install the libudisks2-qt5-0 package?

Hi Barry. No I did not. Now I've installed it and Dolphin works even better. I'm going to add it to the small list of my previous message.

As already said, I think that this Daedalus has an incredible potential. I hope that it will be possible ...

Federico

This time I'm really impressed!

Posting this from Daedalus 6.3.90 installed on a 64 GB Sandisk Ultra

Hardware:

- Video --> Working (no issues whatsoever)
- 3D acceleration --> Working (installation of packages mesa-utils and mesa-utils-bin needed, even if they are shown as being already ...

Federico

I tested PKGget by installing various apps.
Also Dolphin file manager, as that is a KDE app and has many requirements so is a "stress test" for compatibility.

Took ages to install, as about 140 dependencies.

Started up, icons did not display, nor the drive partitions.

The latter is a known ...

Federico

Cool. Thank you very much.

I know Pale Moon. I used it for a while in the recent past. It is good generally speaking, but unfortunately it slowly got worse and worse regarding website compatibility, till it reached the point when I was forced to stop using it. I don't know if it has been recently ...
