Hi Fulalas,
I am using the XFCE Desktop on Acer Aspire ES 15 notebook.
Try to change the shortcuts in Settings -> Keyboard -> Application Shortcuts tab -> xbacklight -dec / -inc.

[SOLVED]

@fulalas
thanks for the reply. I have been at this point before and always tried to modifiy MonBrightness in

Code: Select all

xbacklight -inc 5 -steps 1 MonBrightnessDown
xbacklight -dec 5 -steps 1 MonBrightnessUp
to something like CTRL Up CTRL Down with no avail.
To solve it, both lines have to be removed completely. Then I can adjust brightness with the keyboard.

Thanks a lot.

Payoon

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
This works too. Changing the battery setting as guest with this code solved my problem.

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.cinnamon.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-battery-action hibernate
Added in 6 hours 8 minutes 57 seconds:
And these are useful also.

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.cinnamon.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action suspend
gsettings set org.cinnamon.settings-daemon.plugins.power lock-on-suspend true
:good:

Hi, first a big thank you for a great update to rc2!

I've already ironed out some issues but I'm having trouble figuring this one out.
I'm on LXQt and using firejail to secure apps with this flag:

Code: Select all

--read-only=dirname_or_filename
On rc1, it worked. If app tried to write to a flagged directory, it returned an error about readonly filesystem.
On rc2, it doesn't work. App can write to flagged directory without any problem.

The issue is likely related to how filesystem is layered as firejail also builds on that.
Could some changes to filesystem from rc1 to rc2 be the cause? :hmmm:

@mbos, could try using RC1 kernel (remember to also change vmlinuz under /boot/syslinux)?

Porteus Xfce
Cannot open / browse Samba files sharing (blank) via thunar or pcmanfm.

Porteus 3.2.2 (Xfce) and Porteus 5.0rc1 (Mate) is works.

I really like about Porteus, how easy it is to try things and just roll back :D

@fulalas Tried with vmlinuz and 000-kernel.xzm from rc1, but it it didn't help. Firejail still fails, plus got other errors.
Then I swapped 001-core.xzm as well and system didn't boot.

Menu>Admin>bundles shows pysolfc-2.6.3-x86_64-alldesktops.xzm, for rc2 it should be pysolfc-2.6.4-x86_64-alldesktops.xzm.

I recently realized that the DBUS suspend function is not working properly at least in Openbox.

When I launch the command:
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend

I get the error message:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such method “Suspend”

The previous debus version (1.12.14) worked correctly against the current (1.12.20).
I was not able to understand if the problem is the version or some configuration file.

Does anyone else have the same problem? :%)

seems upower(the newer version we're using) doesn't have a "suspend" action (if this is anything to go by: https://upower.freedesktop.org/docs/UPo ... properties)
things to try:
a. use Hibernate instead of Suspend (although in my understanding Hibernate means suspend to disk, not ram) ... whether consolekit will work with this idk
(there's also HybridSleep, which i'm guessing is both (suspend to disk and ram at the same time)
or
b. getpkg upower (to get the older slackware current version of upower) and install or activate this, and see if Suspend is working with this..

slackware is looking at moving to elogind as a replacement for consolekit, so if/when that happens, this will all most likely change...

Open /etc/samba/smb.conf and remove these lines:

Code: Select all

-# In Samba 4.11.0 SMB1 is disabled by default.
-# Samba Team tries to get remove the SMB1 usage as much as possible.
-# We temporarily use this option:
-   client min protocol = NT1

Code: Select all

su
toor
chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.samba
/etc/rc.d/rc.samba start
/etc/rc.d/rc.samba status
testparm
smbd -V
arp -a

@mbos, I'm not sure why firejail is not working anymore. I tried it here, but it only works if I run it and stay doing things in the same terminal instance, so file managers or other terminal instances won't be affected (i.e. selected folder won't be read only). :unknown:

Is it supposed to change file/folder permissions? If so, testing on Porteus 5 RC1 change it (try this command: ls -la).

But if you just want to make some folder read only you can use chmod:

Code: Select all

chmod -w -R dirname_or_filename

Unfortunately it didn't work.
Option "a" HybridSleep occurs the same as using suspend: UnknownMethod:
Option "b" removed 0.99.11 and re-installed 0.9.23 and presented an error.

Probably or go back to pm-suspend :)
