Porteus 5.0 RC2 bug reports
The Create New File function in make-changes from RC1 works in RC2 thought the window is a little wide.
Added in 13 hours 46 minutes 12 seconds:
RC2 eats batteries when the lid is closed on my notebook. Battery 100% before going to bed, ~1% when I get up and I have to reboot to get back to Porteus.
Added in 3 hours 40 minutes 9 seconds:
.Trash-1000 And found.000 On my NTFS drive.
Inside the .Trash folder are two folders; files and info. Inside files folder are all the 5.0 rc files I had been testing with and deleted the other day using 5.0 RC2. Inside the info folder are *.trashinfo files, one for each file in the files folder, stating the original location of the deleted file and the date it was deleted.
Why is 5.0 RC2 creating Trash folders on Windows drives???

@Ed_P, now you know what setting you should change in order to suspend when the lid is closed, right?
Yes, finally non-POSIX partitions have support to trash. Isn't amazing? If you want to delete for real just press SHIFT + delete.

Actually no. I don't see Suspend as an option for When the Lid is Closed, AC or Battery mode. Shutdown immediately, Lock Screen, Do nothing. That's all that's listed.
On a non-POSIX drive Delete should default to Delete, like it always did. If someone selects Trash, on a non-POSIX drive, then warn them that a .Trash folder will be created. Does Delete default to Trash on other Linux systems?Yes, finally non-POSIX partitions have support to trash. Isn't amazing? If you want to delete for real just press SHIFT + delete.

Hi Ed
Where exactly was the Trash folder?
I have a NTFS formatted usb-stick with 5.0rc2-xfce on it and the Trash folder
/home/guest/local/share/Trash is inside the save.dat file.
[which I had to create using another version of porteus]

It is on the same NTFS drive that the files were on and showed when I viewed the drive as root. And do note the name starts with a dot.

As to the suspend issue, I can confirm this, a quick fix is using dconf-editor to change the settings. It's under org/cinnamon/setting-daemon/plugins/power

Yeah, dconf-editor was removed because it's non-essential and it's for advanced users only, so they can download it from some repository.

Porteus 5.0 RC2 bug reports
The power problem is more complicated than suspected.
dconf Editor shows the lid action is already set to Suspend, but Power Management is showing it set to Lock Screen, with no option for Suspend. Personally I would like to see it do both when the lid is closed.
Added in 23 hours 28 minutes 39 seconds:
And
Added in 15 hours 4 minutes 24 seconds:
powerfix.sh
Added in 19 minutes 8 seconds:
And then there is this series of commands, with the 1st one the most surprising,gsettings seems to be included in 5.0 and does what the dconf-editor apt does.
The Power Management window now shows the Battery Lid closed option as blank. I think the apt needs work.
Now to see what the overnight brings.
Added in 8 hours 14 minutes 27 seconds:
Battery 72% this morning.
I think the gsettings edit as guest did it. Will reboot and try just it to verify.

Porteus 5.0 RC2 bug reports
Hi folks,
First thank You for Porteus 5 RC2. Looks fine and all my old modules seem to work. I have though a small (hopefully) problem. I cannot adjust my brightness with the FN > and FN < keys. I have tried but that seems to work only with grub 2. I am confident it is not a big thing, because in my beloved Porteus 3.2.2 the keys work fine. But I want to upgrade to Porteus 5 so does anyone have an idea to solve this?
Stay all healthy.
Payoon

There is a connection between the Lid Closed battery drain problem and the Power Management app. In AF mode the app shows the option as blank but gsettings shows it as set to the desired suspend option. A user seeing it as blank in the app will change it and suspend isn't listed as an option.
AF mode settings:
