Neko, Intel has released new intel-ucode file dated 03/15/2018, version-0x84. I am usng this and face no problem. Even, the condemned earlier version was giving me trouble free performance. Ofcource, I compiled v4.15.7 with 'CONFIG options selected for Microcode injection. You may, hence please do e...

I still use August,2017 dated, Budgie. Perfect. Gnome settings are not available in others.Also MPV shows Samba-4.7.2 missing errors. ISO updating always, miss some dependencies here and there. Did you boot tested your current release? Gets stuck at lxdm on/off and fails to log in. Neko, Why don't y...

^^ You can not conclude so soon! 1) Nemisis, which was functioning well, failed to boot, when I shifted the folder to another partition. got stuck at 'login' screen. Previously, I saved the /home folder in 'root copy' folder. I removed that, and nemisis booted. But, Opera failed to load, complaining...

Above is true to "Opera" Browser also. In Firefox, type, about:config?filter=privacy.firstparty.isolate in the address bar, ENTER, Double click on firstparty.isolate, to make it "true". Be prepared to revert back, if you face problem, in all Browsers. These are experimental in nature. I use all thre...

I could not locate the open suse page on pti.c, now. I must have jotted down somewhere.

Thanks.

neko, Suse Linux has suggested a patch for "PTI" for 32 bit Kernel. Has it been main streamed?
Now, there is no mitigation for 'meltdown' in 32 bit kernels.

This is to answer francois's query .. Current build of nemisis has made making new applications a breeze. First, a correction has to be made, as suggested, to /usr/local/bin/pman script..line no. 396. add, touch $WRK/package.out Reboot, and now you are ready to build your apps. open terminal, setup-...

Recently, I needed to convert a mp4(H264) format video, acceptable to Sony Bravia TV. win FF remained dumb, on pressing "convert", after choosing the right codec and preset. I used Terminal and FFMPEG , the back end for winFF, for conversion. It worked. Did anyone face similar issue and solved the p...

Fulalas, " Open Terminal Here" in right click menu, will be very useful. Preferences/Screensaver - default shall be "blank screen only", instead of "disable screensaver".

here you go for kvm_main.c;

Complete codes available under "virt" in Linux source.

neko,

Your new spm 18.02.18 module is not reflected in old Arch SPM commands, which came with Budgie desktop. I could see mkgoogle-earth, in /usr. Should I remove the old Arch SPM package?

Neko, 1)Please consider enabling CONFIG for MICROCODE,intel,amd ,legacy processors and MSR,CPUID, in your future Kernels. This is only a provision for hardware mitigation, and is left to the user. No harm is done to the system. 2)Please enable Intel LPSS modules (MFD), for future Porteus CONFIG ( Br...

I inject intel-ucode at boot. There is no instability problem with version x80, in my machine (advised by Intel). So happy to use that. See this report by spectre cheaker v0.35, my machine looks clean. Spectre and Meltdown mitigation detection tool v0.35 Checking for vulnerabilities on current syste...

Sometimes, you feel happy watching videos like this. Mainland connected to an Island few kilometres away by road and rail. The rail line has been provided with cantilever supported two arms Bridge , which can be lifted, to allow taller Sea cargo vessels to pass. https://youtu.be/Lk6-AYWjB-A cheers.

In v4.0rc1, I noticed HOSTNAME is given as porteus.example.net, in /etc. Some users, look for the name 'porteus'. Hope in v4.0rc4, this is corrected to 'porteus'.
