Release Candidates :: DSL v4.3 RC2



Quote
Rebooting had a fatal error attempting to get to run level 5.  I rebooted a different OS on disk and the laptop recovered.  I haven't returned to running v4.3 RC2 since.

Your RAM is oblivious to previous states when you reboot (whatever remains in RAM via latency is disregarded or else you wouldn't have booted anything else). Did you use identical cheatcodes when you rebooted with DSL?

Grepping user dsl in /etc/passwd shows a group id of 50.
Grepping 50 in /etc/groups shows group staff
Checking /usr/local/bin/fusermount shows group staff with execute rights. Perhaps you could post the full ls -l of your working fusermount.
I am curious if your is setuid as I have seen before.

Indeed, apparently, fusermount has been setup as setuid here:
-rwsr-x--- 1 root fuse 20K 2008-01-12 19:31 /usr/bin/fusermount*

This is both as on my grml and ubuntu box.

Greetz,

The couple of distros I checked also have it setuid. I will go ahead and set it up that way in DSL.

Thanks for sharing these results.

How would I change the cheatcodes?  I just booted off CD using the default boot args at the isolinux prompt.
RobertS:

Further to the revised DMIX you used there is another version at users.tpg.com.au/cramond/zydas in the files dmix-lock.tar.gz. This version has a 3-way toggle on the 'sync' button. The 3 modes are:

'free': left & right sliders operate independently
'sync': synchronises the sliders as previously
'lock': locks the sliders so that the left & right separation remains the same (i.e. if left is 10 units higher than right it will remain so while the volume is changed)

I think someone requested something like this during the last month or so. Please let me know if there are any problems with this version.
