Porteus-v5.1 alpha2 bug report

there's been no change to any of the module activation scripts between 5.01 and 5.1 alpha.
bash has been updated from 5.1 to 5.2, so, maybe, it's less tolerant of whatever might be wrong with your script ..idk.
you could try removing all your dev/null bits in the script, run it from a terminal, and perhaps it'll shed some light on what's happening.

A second problem, the Shift+PrtScr option doesn't work. Ctrl+PrtScr didn't help. Full screen is the only option. :(
