Re: aufs vs overlay
Overlay won't add and remove layers after boot like aufs will, so you wouldn't be able to load and unload sfs files on the fly. If/when the likes of brtfs (that uses copy on write, snapshots, compression etc) commonly supersedes ext then a btrfs device mounted with compression and populated, which ...

Re: Kirkstone64 Container Question
OK, thinking more clearly about what you are attempting... qtemu mostly likely will not work in a container, as it is a "crippled root" environment. You would have to run the container with full root capabilities, which then makes it much less secure. That can be done, but why run it in a ...

Re: Bug of chromium on easyos 5.7
My Lenovo desktop has 32GB RAM and it is showing 43GB free. I think this is a bug to fix. My notebook has 8GB RAM and it is showing 9.8GB free. If I copy a 9GB file to /files, what will happen? Thanos It is the result of running in zram. You are seeing the free space in RAM, large because it is usi...

Re: Bug of geany on easyos 5.7
Oh, one thing I forgot to mention; EasyOS does have a clipboard manager builtin.
It is Parcellite and you will find it in the menu, in the "Desktop" category.
It is disabled by default, so as not to conflict with the password manager, but you can enable it.

Re: Bug of geany on easyos 5.7
Why easyos hasn't a clipboard manager by default? I don't know this because other linux hasn't the problem. For example, fatdog is normal for me. The problem is that EasyOS has a password manager by default, and installing a clipboard manager compromises the security of the password manager. The pa...

Re: Bug of chromium on easyos 5.7
But if you download a very big file like a film, /files/download is too small for it. That is too safe. You must be running on a computer with a very small amount of RAM. EasyOS defaults to run in RAM, and uses ZRAM, so the free space for storage is quite large. My Lenovo desktop has 32GB RAM and i...

it is not a bug, it is a security feature. Chromium is running as user "chromium" and downloads can only write to /home/chromium or under /files Most apps that run as their own user also have a special folder that it can write to, but no other app can even see into. For example, if install...

Re: Using comments in gtkdialog
Note, "<<<" works, as long as /bin/sh points to bash
If it is a symlink to busybox, it won't work.
For portability, it would be better for the shebang line to be "#!/bin/bash"
