I started the test of WoofV. It requires a lot of spàce. After several hours I arrived at the step 6post-process-rootfs. The free space on my partition has gone down 9GB. PS : In the terminal i saw the message. ./6post-process-rootfs: line 332: strip: command not found I ran "du -m woofV"...

@BarryK Maybe your kernel is misconfigured - from what I see, https://github.com/bkauler/woofq/blob/519f9d01c2ae9bd668c55d0963ee37bf3bf46f9f/easyos/easy-code/boot/initrd-tree/init#L571 mounts / with the defaults, but CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_METACOPY=y is not a good fit for the Puppy use case (snapmergepu...

Like i say in my message (the EDIT 6) i think it's possible that the command to create the script xfe was executed before the command that move xfe to xfe.bin0. In my next tests there was no problem. I have read doc about execution order of commands in script bash. Commands run one after the other....

https://bkhome.org/news/202402/overlay-filesystem-is-still-a-disaster.html This is the error you get if you modify lower layers despite what the warning in overlay documentation says. aufs allows this, overlay doesn't. I am NOT modifying lower layers!!! A note about aufs in EasyOS. I have compiled ...

To reproduce, start with a new install of easyvoid 240308. Just after the choice of the language, choose a non US keyboard (for example fr, fr is number20). Immediately after the desktop is displayed (ignore quicksetup), look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev-puppy.conf line 25 In previous Easy, the...

what causes the difference in behavior between mouse select/middle click paste and using ctrl-c ctrl-v for copy and paste? Some apps dont seem to respect mouse select/middle click paste the same as others. You probably already know this, but the selection and clipboard are two different things. The...

I tehn installed Audacious and Audacious_plugins using PKGget. The installation was successful. My local music files are located on a separate partition. After mounting that partition in rox, I was not able to see this partition using Audacious. I ran Audacious as root using audacious.bin0 , the pa...

After installation of xfe via PKGget (repository void-current), xfe do not start. The real executable was not installed In /home/xfe/xfe there is a script AppRun to launch xfe (exec xfe) In /usr/bin there are three scripts xfe, xfe.bin and xfe.bin0 xfe seems to launch xfe.bin xfe.bin launchs xfe.bi...

I have received an email from Alfons. He has tested woofV and it went through and created easy-240309-amd64.img which he wrote to a usb-stick and it works.

Caramel,
I have posted a fix to your other bug report:

viewtopic.php?t=10909

Notice to everyone, if you want to run the LoginManager to change an app from running as root to non-root, or vice-versa, the fix attached to the above post is required.

Yes, thanks for finding that. A change made to /usr/local/clients/choose-clients awhile ago, that was supposed to fix something, actually broke the Client Chooser. Attached is a fixed /usr/local/clients/choose-clients, with a false ".gz" appended. I tested Firefox changed to run as root us...

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.

BarryK

Here is 240308 pre-alpha, if anyone wants to take it for a spin:

https://bkhome.org/news/202403/easyvoid ... alpha.html

There is even woofV, if anyone wants to dare try it.

BarryK

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...

BarryK

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...

Testing interaction between XBPS and vpm utilities and PPM, looking good: https://bkhome.org/news/202403/testing-interaction-between-xbps-and-pkgget.html Right now, there is just one thing on the to-do list, and might be ready to upload a easyVoid 240308 pre-alpha tonight, or 240309 in the morning. ...

The source geany must be opened not closed for you to paste to another editor. ;) But this is Not normal in other linux, only on easy. It IS normal in Linux, standard behaviour for Xorg. Whatever you copy to the clipboard only has the lifetime as long as the application you copied from is still run...

BarryK

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...

Yes, the Editor of Linux Format contacted me recently, asking for an SVG file for the logo.

He also said
"Great distro, it won our Live Distro group test a few months back too."

BarryK

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"

BarryK

Thanks for that info about Diffuse! EasyOS currently has 'xfdiff', which is a gtk2 C program. It works OK, except has a limit on line length and lines longer than that cause trouble. Don't recall what that limit is, but hit it several times over the years. So I might move over to Diffuse. Just for t...

Hey Barry, what do you think about merging devx with the whole puppy, so it is included by default in the distro ? ok puppy will be bigger, but it is easier to manage that way. My 2 cents The last time that I built the devx sfs for easyVoid, that was version 6.0.2, it was 402MB, and easy.sfs 798MB....

New script 'xbpsget', similar to 'petget': https://bkhome.org/news/202403/xbpsget-cli-utility-to-install-xbps-packages.html Have taken a big step to get XBPS to work with the aufs or overlay layered filesystem. This first step is handling user-installed packages when there is a version update: https...

BarryK

Right now I can't get my head around what is happening here.

/usr/bin/aqemu.install is an installation script for aqemu.
Once installed, there will be the real /usr/bin/aqemu

That /usr/bin/aqemu would have to be converted to run in a container.

BarryK

Ok, so this still looks for me as the safest way (and the solution I can understad). Just the part with GParted... Does it mean I can let EasyOS do the partition sizing during first bootup (after standard EasyOS pendrive installation via easydd) OR I can do it using GParted instead (so not doing at...

BarryK

easyVoid installs from the Void repos, so we are dependent on them keeping packages up to date.

I suppose that we could get involved with their package maintenance.
