Oh, missed this one... Actually IRC is a properly defined protocol. Any client understanding/talking such protocol would be of course preferred... One could think a client the equivalent of a ´app´. Advertising the existence of a IRC channel is a recommendable initiative. Thanks @ncmprhnsbl for the ...

if using the nvidia driver is affecting this at all well.. preliminary test with nvidia driver shows no difference here ie. still getting the hang.. although, now , if i change HOSTNAME the present X session is broken: guest@doobie:~$ su Password: root@doobie:/home/guest# echo floobie > /etc/HOSTNA...

Is this "hang of the x login" DE specific? If yes, which one? good question. i did some tests and for me: all DEs except KDE display this behaviour with modified HOSTNAME.. this machine uses the radeon driver. what difference the nvidia driver could make i have no idea.. and what is different with ...

A missing hostname binary prevents the system initialization scripts to ´properly set hostname´ for the system during the init phase. Proof? All the /var/log/* logs still are reporting ´porteus´ as their reporting hostname, even after /etc/HOSTNAME and /etc/hosts have been altered with a ´host-X´ ar...

When you login through a display manager,a MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 authentication cookie is created and written into your ~/.Xauthority file. guest@porteus:~$ xauth list porteus/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 5e348ef69a99cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If you change the host name, the X11 client library will no longer fin...

Q1: Wouldnt that defeat the purpose of having a ~/.Xresources file yes, if you have a multiuser setup with each user having different preferences in their .Xresources file otherwise, it's just a system wide setting.. Q2: What is the purpose of having a dotfile in /etc/X11/xinit good question... sin...

and what if you edit /etc/X11/xinit/.Xresources (and log out/in) ? Q1: Wouldnt that defeat the purpose of having a ~/.Xresources file Q2: What is the purpose of having a dotfile in /etc/X11/xinit But yes, will try that... updated status *edit* Talking to himself is not a good sign of mental stabili...

All seems well.
For some reasons, launching any of the ´terminals´... Do not show up the way theyŕe described in .Xresources

it seem that whatever is listed in /etc/fstab

Hello, I'm still new to Porteus, could not think of a better place to ask. QUESTION: Why ANY existing partitions on ANY existing devices marked as ´type 82´ should be automagically considered for automounting (normal boot, graphical, possibly also other boots). In graphical boot: a) I fail to see a ...

I was interested in this topic, I'd like to ask also if anyone with an android phone could please plug it and tell what happens on your Porteus 4.0? I can't believe it's not plug-n-play already in 2019. I just grabbed an USB cable and plugged phone into my freshly installed Porteus-4.0 system... I d...

thank you again for patience

Ok. Will investigate what that means, ncmprhnsbl , . I will say this against my own interest to discuss further, since this was something of a ´new to porteus´ issue. For every question, expect an answer that will spawn a new question This can be considered as ´closed/solved' from a strict ´topic´ p...
