There is a problem building 32-bit versions of chromium-102.0.5005.61

Both Alien-Bob and Debian have only released 64-bit builds

However Void Linux have released a 32-bit build but it doesn't run on as wide range of Pups as the Alien-Bob version

chromium-102.0.5005.61.sfs from Void runs on ScPup32 / LxPupSc32 and VoidPup32 and JammyPup32

Booted Void64 directly from its ISO file on a SG2D USB without issues.

None of the SAMBA facilities are present and is needed. Would you recommend steps you want your users to follow to get a fully functioning SAMBA with @01micko's SSM included in the PUP Menu, please. A public folder on this PC must be shared.

The mount command for a smb resoource works as expected, but SAMBA needed to share to all LAN.

Code: Select all

mount  //192.168.1.10/Downloads /mnt/Test/Downloads
# 

Thanks in advance

P.S. Session saves work as expected.

@peebee

I noticed that your kernel does not have builtin overlayfs kernel module, could make builtin in the kernel? Thanks

Intel Laptop Users Should Avoid Linux 5.19.12 To Avoid Potentially Damaging The Display
Written by Michael Larabel in Intel on 4 October 2022 at 11:16 AM EDT. 50 Comments
INTEL -- Intel laptop users running Linux are being advised to avoid running the latest Linux 5.19.12 stable kernel point release as it can potentially damage your display.

Intel Linux laptop users on Linux 5.19.12 have begun reporting "white flashing" display issues with one user describing it as "[the] laptop display starts to blink like lights in a 90's rave party."

Intel Linux kernel engineer Ville Syrjäl posted today on the kernel mailing list:
After looking at some logs we do end up with potentially bogus panel power sequencing delays, which may harm the LCD panel.

Greg, I recommend immediate revert of this stuff, and new stable release ASAP. Plus a recommendation that no one using laptops with Intel GPUs run 5.19.12.

Greg Kroah-Hartman has immediately released Linux 5.19.13 with the problematic Intel graphics driver patches reverted.

Greg commented, "This release is to resolve a regression on some Intel graphics systems that had problems with 5.19.12. If you do not have this problem with 5.19.12, there is no need to upgrade."

That's weird I'm using the 6.0-lxpup64 kernel and I have not encountered that bug yet. I wonder what cause this kind of bug. My PC was skylake
