1. Saving session doesn't work like it used to in v3.1. Previously the saved session module would include WiFi passwords and in-app settings too, but now it doesn't. For example, if I change the search engine of Chromium from duckduckgo to Google and save the session in a module, it reverts back to duckduckgo the next time I boot
2. Network Manager barely works. Sometimes when I click on the icon, the icon disappears although the connection is still active (on lucky days). I then have to summon it by typing nm-applet in the terminal to bring the icon again. At other times, the icon disappears and closes the connection altogether and I can't reconnect even if I run it from terminal--it just says Network Manager Disabled
3. Even when I boot Porteus with copy2ram and unplug my flash drive, the network manager stops working. It works only as long as I have the flash drive plugged in

ad 2. Try ad 1. Close chromium, check that your session module is loaded as last, check that your module is not empty, ... something else
Code: Select all
/etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager -help

Re: Some annoyances with Porteus 3.2.2 XFCE
Thanks! I renamed the changes module to make it load after Chromium and that fixed the issue
As for the Network Manager, I tried but that didn't help. I get a "Device timeout reached" error when I try to reconnect.

Do you have the same issue in Always Fresh Mode? Maybe you should block unneeded drivers , you can see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiD ... er/bcm43xx
