New version of Porteus that boots up in a different way
Posted: 13 Mar 2014, 20:55
Hi, I have a laptop that has a broken screen, it's unusable, I was hoping so as to save me time (and the many others in the world with laptops like that) should I be stuck with it for long for a version of Port. to be made that auto boots up to an external monitor and auto shuts off the main monitor, and in the external auto enables widgets and the default panel as every time I boot up, I have to do this.
Other requests are for the next versions of Port to include an atomic clock that attempts to check online for the actual time and based on your ip, or asking you your location to set the time. Because I noticed that the time is always wrong on my laptop, and it gets annoying having to do the password entry thing and if I didn't log in as root it won't let me change it, and that also causes a prob for a world time clock addon I use for firefox as it stupidly relies solely on the time on your pc.
Is there any possibility of making a version of Port that is also like the latest Ubuntu, meaning that makes it so you can easily download whatever is available for Port?
Another request I have is for the version of Port I would like, to auto log you in as root, so that if I forget to, it's done anyways. I know the linux culture in general seems to be, "Oh that would be a security risk", but not if you have the choice of what you're downloading, of course someone isn't going to know what root is, but you can explain that in the download with a little sentence or pop up warning.
Oh also can you make this new version I'm asking for media entertainment friendly, because it locks the screen every five mins, and it messes up watching movies, so can you make a version that would accommodate the length of a movie like Hunger Games 2 with a few minutes to sparer so that no one is tempted to curse because they forget after the movie ended it would lock? It's also a bit confusing the way it is set up in KDE, which I suppose has nothing to do with Port, unless you customized it, because it doesn't appear as if you're able to turn off the lock setting as the dot is still in the hole for that. I would like to completely disable it. I noticed that my mouse froze one time after getting out of the lock state, so it appears Port. isn't entirely free of the mouse freezing problem in Linux.
