Hello fellow Slackers, I am now using a virtual machine to create packages instead of on my system directly. I started with src2pkg but when I follow https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...or-4175703841/, I get the following: Quote: /usr/src/src2pkg/src2pkg-helpers# patch -p1 < /tmp/src2pkg.patch
-su: patch: command not found I have admin access, but is it missing something from the installation? Thank you for your time.

I am learning Puppy Linux by playing it on a bootable USB flash stick.

Three days ago, BionicPup32 Light downloaded Google Chrome and installed it and visited YouTube and New York Times and NBC News. Everything was normal. After a restart, Light blocked all connections to these websites and other websites. Light repeated the blocking everytime the OS was started and/or restarted.

I noticed that every time BionicPup32 started, it first loaded the files from RAM and then started the OS.

Then, I have questions for using Puppy Linux:
1. Is it true that the OS loads files from RAM for starting the OS?
2. How do Puppy Linux users clean or wipe out the mistake-memories kept on RAM?
3. If mistakes can not be wiped out from RAM, what to do if once a mistake is made?

Thanks.

XeroLinux, a distribution added to DistroWatch recently, has been updated to version 2022.12. XeroLinux is based on Arch Linux and uses KDE Plasma as the preferred desktop. Some of the features of the distribution include the Calamares installer, various under-the-hood tweaks and optimisations, built-in support for community-built AUR....

Hi all,
slowly I get a problem with snap. I got tired of the notification that I hvae to refresh Firefox with
Quote: snap refresh firefox and when I try that, after closing all Firex windows, I still get the message that firefox is still running.
After that I removed Firefox with
Quote: snap remove firefox and got the cofirmation ok.
Then I installed the repository for Firefox, and Firefox.
Then I get the message that Firefox is allready the newest version, even if not present.
After this I think I will seek a disro which doesn't rremind me so much on Windows, where it is more or less impossible to remove MS-software.
Tjis is more a statement then ask for help.
It's a pitty that this snap, which really reminds far to much on Windows get so common.
Bye.

I exited KDE and installed today's xorg updates in runlevel 3.

Then rebuilt NVidia and my VMWare Tools and rebooted.

Everything is running well on my Slackware65 15.0 + MultiLib Laptop.

Thanks to Pat and the Team !

Totally Built Linux Distro

https://sourceforge.net/projects/tot...t-linux-distro
https://totally-built-linux-distro.s...com/index.html

Build all of a light linux distro non-stop and no buildfails "with just a few commands" (several end to end).

I think some people would like to "build it all" even if they do not whish to regularly use the result (a "less configured" distro than ubuntu or gentoo). I could be wrong but many source distros are popping up?

I think people should see there "is TBL" which can be tried with very little or 0 failure rate that people with "little experience" can do.

(it's for building linux up to where it can run firefox-bin more than it is "a distro", the distro part is smaller, detatched, and not the goal, it's all upfront no mystery downloads no pacman)

I don't want to "keep advertising" where not allowed, but someone said I should "email Jeremy" and I could not find the email.

I think some distros in the Distributions forum have very few hits and re-distribute RH or UBU bins but configured. That is how I calculate if TBL having enough value being in the list.

I don't know the impact and to be confirmed,
but on my Slackware15.0 x86_64 VM

I just rebooted after an upgrade and... some combination the Arch kernel & init ram disk put me into a cold boot loop. Had I not been in Bedrock, panic would have ensued, since I could not even boot, let alone try to figure out the cause of the problem. My boot loader was set with extra menu options to boot Bedrock with a kernel & init ram disk from another stratum. I did so. Whew, running OK. :)

Yay for Bedrock!

Has anyone else got any Bedrock Saves The Day stories?
