Download the version for Linux x64, unzip and double click on the appimage.

Note that mesa 20 needs the llvm runtime, whereas <20 did not.

Playing with XEN is on my todo list for quite some time now.
For as far as I understand things a requirement is to give the installation a complete disk. But at the moment I do not have a spare disk/desktop/laptop lying around ...

Ad 1) From your other issues on these Porteus fora I derive that you are able to find, download and run ISOs. To "burn" an ISO to a USB stick I would recommend the BalenaEtcher application for Windows and Linux. Ad 2) Gparted is a GUI application that is included with Porteus as well as Ubuntu. I as...

@meet : 1) Download the Ubuntu 18.04.1 ISO. 2) Prepare your target USB stick: e.g. with gparted create an msdos partition table, create a fat32 partition, flag that partition as boot,esp and mount that partition on e.g. /mnt. 3) Copy the /boot and /ESP folders from the Ubuntu ISO to /mnt. 4) Run "g...

Disabling Secure Boot sometimes is a hell of a thing to do. E.g. on my HP laptop this causes screaming (really!) boot failures until you find that you have to type in a "pin code". Therefore I use the Grub2 implementation from the Ubuntu 18.04.1 ISO. This implementation itself is signed and thus wil...

Running:as root will give you the "porteus" kernel config. Comparing then is up to you ...

Hmm, I always run my live CDs as root. But of course I meant:

Possibly this:

This looks rather like what see with Xubuntu (so XFCE) 18.04.3 ...
My hunch is that things are provoked by systemd/logind ...

Actually, the guest-additions do a lot more than that..

That is why I said "... and you do not *need* the additions".
At least for my use case (developing, testing and running live ISOs) the other features as mentioned in your link are dispensable. But YMMV ...

Actually the guest-additions are optional. Run an ftp server on your host and you do not need the additions.

I downloaded the Porteus-XFCE-v4.0-i586.iso from http://dl.porteus.org/i586/Porteus-v4.0. Its bootsplash says "Porteus 4.0 32bit" and once started a "uname -a" in an xterm says "Linux porteus 4.16.3-porteus #1 SMP ... i686 ...". It might be that your 32-bit boxes are older than i686. In that case go...

How about balenaEtcher-1.5.70-x64.AppImage?

For me it works like a charm with Porteus, Slackware, Ubuntu, Windows ...

Or use a script so you can toggle your touchpad(s): #!/bin/sh # _tp : enable/disable/toggle the touchpad(s) # =========================================== # (c) DLCB 28/10-2019 # Usage: _tp [0|1] # 0=enable, !0=disable, default is toggle DEVS="$(xinput | grep -i touchpad | awk '{print $(NF-3)}' | awk...
