I bought a Lenovo Chromebook 11e Gen 3. $32 on ebay. Not the cool one that folds all the way into a tablet. The other one. With wizard 's help, I've gotten it set up to usb boot Bookworm Puppy 64 and MX so far with stock Debian bookworm kernels. So, mrchromebox.tech the author of all the firmware to...

Hardware report. I bought a $32 ebay Gen 3 Thinkpad 11e with a Ultima motherboard. https://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad_11e_Chromebook_3rd_Gen/ThinkPad_11e_Chromebook_3rd_Gen_Spec.PDF I set it up for dual boot (I'll post how to do that later) edit: see https://forum.puppylinux....

I got it in Chrome too.

Debian Dog Buster and MX Linux both running latest or almost latest Chrome.

It's better now.

Ublock origin with Chrome gets rid of them for me. Occasionally it will make me disable it (or just disable "cosmetic filtering") to watch a video, but not very often.

If I wanted to assist in testing of a new version, how do you remove a test application? Suppose Synaptic brings in 30 individual dependencies when you install a single application in a clean savefile. And then you want to remove that application. How are you gtointatuys doing that? After removing ...

Hello @dancytron Nice work in designing these upgrades to make user use simple. I wonder if @amethyst NicOS utilties will allow you to generate a remaster with all of your changes as an OOTB ISO for forum release? MX has it's own remaster program, but it would 2 gig to distribute 6 little text file...

EDIT: If anyone wants the files, DM me. I'll put them back after I go through the list knowing more.

dancytron

tl;DR Unzip the attached file, paste the files from /etc into their respective folders, create a user called "superuser" in the MX Utility for that purpose with sudo and the obvious default settings (it will automatically create a "superuser" group), and enjoy not retyping your p...

It's not clear from MrChromebook.tech if I can boot usb boot it without taking it apart and removing the write protect screw. I need to watch the video of that. I've broken laptops trying to take them apart before. edit: apparently the answer from mr. chromebox himself is no. https://www.reddit.com/...

dancytron

Thanks.

I already have a couple of inverters.

dancytron

Is it 5 volts or 12 volts or...? I think I might want to keep it in the car so I'll want to plug it into the cigarette lighter, one way or the other.

@dancytron Have MX 21.3 installed on a couple of old Thinkpad 11e Chromebooks. Works well and recognizes all the hardware without any tweaking (so does BookworkPup64). MX is a frugal install and have spent quite a bit of time configuring trying to get it to be as good as Puppy :lol: . PITA :thumbdo...

dancytron

Check out the MX thread on how I am making it much less annoying.

dancytron

You can't totally eliminate the passwords. In at least some of the utilities made by MX, they give you a "must be a regular user" error when you would get the password if you are running as sudo. I think what they've done is written the scripts so you only get the password when you hit the...

dancytron

Maybe mostly of historical interest, but here is a link to the Debian Wheezy (i think) era way of doing zram that still worked the last time I checked.

IIRC I changed the script to support lz4 because Fred's kernels support lz4.

I don't want to hijack Radky's thread.

I'll post something relevant on the MX thread in Off Topic when I finish figuring out how I want to set that up.

.....or even dropping support for X.Org (like RHEL 10). And that's IT, TBH. In a nutshell. Whether we like it or not, RHEL dictates the direction of Linux development.....probably because their devs contribute more to Linux kernel & infrastructure development than everybody else combined. And, ...

dancytron

Any systemd setup has automatic multiseat support. On the surface level - yes. But you need a display manager (like GDM) that talks to logind through PAM, you need a session bus for each user, and Puppy is a special case because spot and root are "logged in" at the same time and their app...

dancytron

There is a rclone-browser app "Simple cross platform GUI for rclone" in the Debian Bookworm repo that has a bunch of cloud services pre-configured and some different security levels. I tested it with Google Drive and it just worked with the defaults (MX Linux). I tested Fred's app before i...

All I'll say is that there are literally thousands of places on the internet to argue about the Middle East, some where you can interact with people with real world experience on the ground. There is only 1 place to develop Puppy Linux and only about 10 places where people understand that layered fi...

The only one that has made it to F-droid so far is Gallery. I assume they are going to post the rest of them.

I don't need them bad enough to side load.

dancytron

Are adv.sfs and fdrv.sfs hooked up to the package manager or are they static or can it be either way?

dancytron

Sorry to hear that.

Do you think anyone will fork them under a different name?

dancytron

This is a good idea.

You should post your questions about the remaster utility in the beginner's section so the right people will see it.

dancytron

I'm not buying it. To my mind a "Frugal Full Install" effectively has no layers, that's the point, there never is, and never can be, any whiteout files, no matter what you do. What I'm trying to do is have the only difference in function between a real "Full" install and a "...

dancytron

"Something that you know, something that you have, and something that you are" are each a layer of security. Typing my initials over and over again is just a pia.

dancytron

Or a bunch of individual user instances each with a strong password that the user only types once instead of the standard linux security model with a bunch of users sharing one instance with a weak password they have to type over and over again.

https://simplemobiletools.com/index.html You can put together a pretty much google free full function android phone with them. A few app's cost a couple of bucks, but most are free.

@amethyst :- A-ha! Yes, you're quite right, Nic. From this page:- https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/ .....Peter Beverloo's list of Chromium's many command-line "--switches", we get this entry:- --disk-cache-size - Forces the maximum disk space to be used by the d...

Just fired up Gimp in MX Linux 23 xfce and it worked perfectly, including adding the .desktop file to the xfce menu.
