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.

hi all as to putting a new candidate on the distrowatch page all you have to do is contact jesse or whoever at distrowatch thats what we did last time puppy has many flavors so the distrowatch candidate really is just one example of all the work wanderer Yes, but if it is someone who the Distrowatc...

I intend to erase most of what is here: https://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/ This site hosts some old pups, especially Wary, Racy and EasyPup. Also Quirky Linux. The intention is that this will be the home for "Quirky Void", also known as just "QV". If you want to archive any of it...

Unable to digest all these. Please provide some simple technique or work around for install grub. Is possible to install from package manager or terminal etc ?

Look at this, grub2config:

viewtopic.php?t=3360

I have never tried it.

looks like it needs pipewire:

In EasyOS, June 2023, sudo stopped working. This happened when I changed busybox password encryption from whatever it defaulted to before, to SHA512. I posted about this: https://bkhome.org/news/202306/goodbye-sudo-package.html I also developed a replacement for sudo: https://bkhome.org/news/202306/...

Bluetooth is broken. When QV detects bluetooth hardware, it runs /etc/init.d/bluetooth, which runs this: restarter -c /usr/bin/bluetoothd & 'bluetoothd' crashes, logs an error to /tmp/bootsysinit.log, but 'restarter' will restart it, endlessly. Right-click on /etc/init.d/bluetooth and turn off t...

Samba fixed. Actually, it was fixed by FeodorF in February this year: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=111461#p111461 Progressing from easyVoid to QV, that fix got lost. This is what /etc/init.d/rc.samba needs, the line "mkdir -p /run/lock": samba_start() { #20211114 smbd start...

Caramel Thanks for the report, I figured out what is wrong. /usr/local/petget/0setup was not updating the repositories. Or rather it was, just storing the updates in the wrong place. The fix is here: https://github.com/bkauler/woof-quantum-vis/commit/726346d6c1aab2998d9a19da1a6d6d642cfa6a50 You can...

Did you do what I suggested, run this before installing the devx pet: # xbps-install -S There is currently a sync issue, which is why I recommended do that. No but i had launched PKGget a few minutes earlier. There is a sync problem, you will also have to run that command in a terminal. But I have ...

So I would test uninstallation with a package independent of devx.
Try with Kooha-2.2.4_2 in void-current. The installation fails. (Same in qv-240409)

Ah, I see.
I think I can see the cause of the problem. Will post later.

I read some users of Fedora and openSUSE say they have hundreds of snapshots. Given how light-weight a new snapshot is, and it gets created basically instantly, I can see the tendency will be to create lots of snapshots. But then, the user needs a memory prompt, what snapshot they are currently boot...

error: compression type 0x3 not supported

Yes, you need grub 2.04 or later.
btrfs zstd compression support was introduced in 2.04, but I haven't tested.

I tested the installation of qv 240419. No problem. Then installation of devx. No devx in PKGget even after refresh of the database. So i downloaded the pet package on ibiblio. During installation, an error message (libnetpbm-11.06.01_1 in transaction breaks installed pkg netpbm-11.06.00_1) with ch...

One minor issue is that Deadbeef is not listed in the Menu>Multimedia. I checked the deadbeef.desktop file, which has Categories=X-BuildingBlock . I changed this to Categories=X-Multimedia-mediaplayer . On a reboot it still didn't show in the menu, so I ran fixmenus. The entry now appears in the Me...
