EasyOS Daedalus-series version 6.6.4

[BarryK]

I've upgraded from the (downgraded) 6.5.5 version to 6.6.4 and the system is back to normal.
Thank you.

It might be a good idea to delete the folder /mnt/wkg/releases/easy-6.6.3

But, 6.6.4 is not much different from 6.6.3, so I don't know why you had a problem with Xorg not starting.

If it happens again, choose to bootup to the commandline only, no X -- you can do this from the menu in the initrd.
Then, type "xwin" and see if X starts.
Reason for trying this, is I'm wondering if normal bootup requires more delay before trying to start X.

If X still doesn't start, you can try "xorgwizard"

Update to 6.6.4 quick and easy. thx again perpetually, to all capable and involved. these 2 easy's are brilliant. Very taken too with F96 ce- 4. wish it was capable of a long life. Now i've got the bug off Barry, finally busy putting my electric bike on paper.

The problem I had with 6.6.3 was regarding the graphic driver not being detected.

Now, with 6.6.4, I can boot, but there are some problems.
It's maybe a question of the speed of the booting process.
My disk sometimes is rated with '5', other times as '6', so it's fast.

When I login, the boot process gets suspended showing a black screen with the login root prompt.
I cannot do anything, not even Ctrl+C.
Have to press the power button for twenty seconds to hard reboot the system.

The second time to boot, a file check is done and the boot process stops with the same black screen with the login prompt.
This time, the system is already logged in and I can type the command you suggested above 'xwin'.
And the graphical interface boots fine.

On Youtube I came across this fascinating video showing a conversion of a regular bike
to an electric bike.

@ don570 A Pro biker racer was caught with a motor inside the tube that run down to the pedals. Batteries were also in the tubes. Grinder with right angle drive is a good set up. Drill wont last long. I'm attempting a direct drive set up -no reliance on battery power for cruise. It will be fixed speed -no throttle, and hoping to addition 2 or 3 speed box with a clutch. I want it for breakdowns on long trips- getting to town for car parts etc. Long distances in Australia between towns. Yes a small trail motorbike may be easier. Power laws for bikes in Australia are ridculous for capable people. I've had an open motorbike licence for 44 years , built my own motorbikes, had bikes up to 1200 cc but limited to 250 watts by laws here for a pushbike.
