Hi Ed_P, I found an answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11821378/what-does-bashno-job-control-in-this-shell-mean I added the script: #!/bin/sh set -m Exec=$BOOTDEV/browser/google-chrome_/chrome/google-chrome Still does not work: /home/guest/google-chrome.sh: Zeile 3: fg: %U: no such job...

Hi Ed_P,
thanks for the idea. But it doesn't work.
Error message:
/home/guest/google-chrome.sh: line 2: fg: no job control

What does that mean? what does "fg" mean?

$BOOTDEV cannot be used in a .desktop file.

works:
Exec=/mnt/sdb1/browser/google-chrome_/chrome/google-chrome %U

doesn't work:
Exec=$BOOTDEV/browser/google-chrome_/chrome/google-chrome %U

That's not a good thing because $BOOTDEV isn't always /mnt/sdb1

Hi fulalas,
I'm surprised, but VirtualBox-6.1.18-porteus-v5.0-x86_64-1prt.xzm also runs on Porteus 4.0 Xfce.
How can that be?

I have now found:
Some PC systems can't currently exit sleep states such as mem using only the kernel code accessed by this driver. They need help from userspace code to make the framebuffer work again.

"help from userspace code"
What does that mean?

Hi,
The "Suspend" logout option does not work on my laptop.
Cannot be started afterwards!
Doesn't Suspend work on all laptops?

But the rtcwake command works:
e.g.
su
toor
rtcwake -m standby -s 3600
And after an hour or by pressing the power button, the system is reactivated.

But the current Chromium browser (88.0.4324.96) doesn't need libxkbcommon !?

The current slimjet browser also requires libxkbcommon.

libxkbcommon is missing in Porteus 4.0 Xfce. Is required for google-chrome-current: guest@porteus:~/Downloads$ activate google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.xzm glibtop(c=7641): [DEBUG] open.c:53 glibtop_open_l(): SIZEOF: 40 - 65648 - 248 - 65624 - 224 - 65624 glibtop(c=7641): [DEBUG] open.c:163 glibt...

The option "-i info" creates a icon (letter i on blue circle)
