EasyOS Dunfell-series version 4.2.2 released

[BarryK]

After various tries with settings during installation process i finally got version 4.2.2 running.

Nevertheless I'm curious how to install missing firmware rtw_8821ce ???

There is firmware at /lib/firmware/rtw88

If the firmware you need isn't there, you will have to search online to find it.

Does dmesg tell you what firmware is missing?

# dmesg | grep -i firmware

# dmesg | grep -i firmware

I could probably introduce a new kernel commandline parameter to do what "EASYOSZRAM" did before.
Will put that onto the to-do list. You might have to remind me later, as the to-do list has grown rather large, and some things might get forgotten.

Barry,
with all the changes recently, and the rewrites of documentation underway at the blog....
would you consider consolidating to a single page, the various kernel command line parameters that are supported?

My setup is an old Dell laptop with an external monitor connected via an HDMI cable.
Dunfell does not remember my zarfy configuration which is to use external monitor only, I do save the session. Also, since the laptop boots using both, the laptop small monitor and the external monitor, when selecting to use only the external monitor, drive icons, jwm tray and wallpaper don't update to the bigger monitor sizes, I mention these aspects because fossa64 does all these things.

Update to 4.2.3 went smoothly! Thank you Barry!
Themes in firefox & firefox in container don't persist after a reboot, whereas addons and boookmarks do.
Those installed and activated themes don't even seem to be downloaded after a reboot!?

When you install a package via the package manager, you would have to save the session at shutdown, otherwise it will be gone.

Everything happens in RAM only, including installation of packages.

Sure, but without manually saving the session all installed/activated themes in firefox disappeared, so far so good. But why installed addons and even bookmarks and history did persist without saving the session as they did here several times?
