I figured it out. Looked at the aufs 6.8, and saw what to do, to fix the 5.15.157 kernel. Patch attached, with a real .gz You need to apply this after the aufs patches applied to the kernel. This is OT, but bad news about the 5.15.157 kernel: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=118453#p118...

Open a terminal in /home/firefox/.config, then: # chown -R firefox:firefox chromium 3. In firefox, go to Settings, G...

Good morning, easyos update from 5.7 to 5.8 without problem. Then I downloaded chrome and tried putting it on desktop. But after a restart, chrome was gone from the desktop. Already encountered this problem with the first QV it seems to me. For the rest, everything is fine, easyos 5.8 is all OK. Th...

Yep I did an upgrade from 5.7 to 5.8 and lost all of my bookmarks from Chromium which is my fault because I got lazy and didn't copy them to a USB Flash Drive like I normally do but that's okay I can find them again. The 5.8 upgrade went without problems and works great as far as I can tell absolut...

Is this working? At first run, I get prompted for a password but afterwards I see a message that working folders cannot be encrypted and password will be root's passwd. gc... Entering a password at that prompt is intended to have 2 purposes, the encryption function doesn't work with btrfs. The othe...

I will probably keep maintaining the Kirkstone-series until April 2026, as it is an LTS release, see here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Releases Scarthgap will also be a LTS. It is scheduled for release in April 2024, but that hasn't yet happened. Will I update to Scarthgap? Don't know. Partly...

I have received a few inquiries about this, as people have seen my involvement with QV, it is looking like I have forgotten about EasyOS. QV is built with Void Linux packages, and there are all kinds of hassles having to use binary packages from another distro. EOS Kirkstone-series, on the otherhand...

BarryK

Sorry, I might be a bit slow to respond to QV bug reports for a few days.
I'm finally giving EasyOS Kirkstone some TLC. A complete recompile with updated packages.

I do not really understand the lines:

unset TZ #otherwise it will override /etc/localtime
export TZ

Earlier in the code, TZ was exported.
I thought that if TZ is unset, it would have to be exported again, as unset.
