Newbie trying to install 3-10-25 version of dsl2024 from CD-ROM ISO onto an old HP7955 desktop with single 200GB internal HDD using entire HDD, 1.2 GB RAM. No errors during install and the Live CD instance seems to work OK. But once rebooted to HDD got the following error:

grub rescue> error: attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'

ls shows:
(hd0) (hd0,msdos1) (fd0)
ls (hd0.msdos1) yields:

(hd0,msdos1): Filesystem is ext2

I assume the dsl2024 is installed on ( hd0, msdos1)?

Not sure what is wrong or how to fix.


Any help deeply appreciated! 

Hey everyone, I don't know if this is the right place but I'll post it here anyway.

I am currently writing a  low dependency quasi session manager for JWM.
It is written exclusively in C. It only uses libbsd and libconfuse as dependicies (for now)

Now you are probably wondering why?
Can't I just use Dex? Yes I could, but I want something more fast, something that could potentially run after every login with no performance impact. As for lxsession, I feel it's too intergrated with lxde.

The bare minimum of what this project hopes to implement is the following:

xdg-user-dirs management
Automatic JWM menu updates
New easy config file for managing the look and feel of jwm
XDG Autostart

Overall, this project aims use ideas from different programs like Dex and JWMKit and combine it to make something extremely lightweight yet improving the JWM experience.

So what is currently done you may ask?

Well I only started several days ago but my .desktop parser for the most part works perfectly. It's fast too, unlike all these python scripts out there, haha. 

Right now I'm working on the auto generation config for jwm. The root menu has a few issues where I need to strip %U and %F arguments that require a input. But other that I'm making good progress.

If you guys are interested, I will post a link to my github.

EDIT: Early alpha version is now out for testing!
Please feel free to request any features and report any bugs.

In addition to the changes in Alpha 2, I have made the following adjustments:

• Added "Set Date and Time" widget to Control Center.
  
• Incorporated DSL's Live USB making script into Control Center.
  
• Added IP into Conky.
  
• Incorporated DSL-specific scripts into the automatic menuing system and integrated the system menu into the default menu in JWM and Fluxbox.
  
• Added the firmware-misc-nonfree package—this should significantly enhance DSL's hardware support.
  
• Updated the included FAQs with useful information.
  
• Made available a low-compression build that should perform better in virtual machines.
  

Some time ago I tried to use WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) to install Linux on my Windows 11 laptop. The first time I was just able to install Ubuntu headless (no gui in other words). Now WSL 2, an updated version is available, is able to handle a GUI also. The internet are swarmed with HOWTO's about this. So I decided to give it a try since Kali Linux, a distro I've been using for some years, is among the Linux Distributions that has cooperated with Microsoft to make it easier to install on later editions of Windows. No I haven't tried to hack any Corporations or governmental institutions (even if an unnamed institution is acting like a "Big Brother" all over the world). I'm purely a White Hat (if you notice any speck on my hat it's just dust ;-)). I have been programming a lot of Python (nice guy that Guido van Rossum) on it since it contains a lot of Python libraries and therefore supports most any project I've taken on. To make a long story short I now have the latest Kali Linux fully functional on my laptop that was designed for Windows. I find that kind of an impressive move of Microsoft. So why bring this up here? Well in the WSL documentation it says that ANY Linux distro could be made to work the same way by importing a tar file of it (I assume they mean a tar-ball). Since I just have made it work with Kali Linux, a pretty big distro, and I'm just kind of enjoying the victory over my laptop when it comes to host a Linux Distribution in a way that is far better than using any kind of virtualization software, I haven't checked the statement that ANY Linux Distro could be installed using this subsystem. I think it would be amazing if DSL-2024 could be installed this way but I have to investigate it further. At least Kali Linux works as if it was installed on the "bare bones" on this computer.

Just got a shipment of blank CDs with the logo on it and I really like the way they look.

[Environment: VirtualBox 7 on Win10 host]

So I installed both Synaptic and Idle (Tkinter IDE for python) via apt and did not see any kind of menu entry for either. Is this something I must add for myself with Openbox/JWM? If so, where/which config files? TIA

Could we PLEASE have an ISO that is capable of booting on an UEFI computer? I want to run dsl alongside Windows 11 and a variant of Ubuntu but then I have to have GPT disks and UEFI boot..

Fresh install. Badwolf browser. JavaScript on. Only the title bar will load but the site will stay blank white page.

Hello,

I am new to DSL but not necessarily running Linux on virtualbox

I have tried every mode, ("virtual box video", "dsl 2023...." etc), 32 bit and 64 bit, have VB guest additions installed, etc. But it keeps ending up on the desktop image with nothing else. Nothing to click on, nor key combinations bringing up anything. 

Interestingly, video safe mode at least brings a red menu bar at the bottom and the computer details in the far right corner, thought I am not sure why. Missed getting s screenshot of it and trying to bring it up again didn't work because it got an out of memory error.

I am on windows 11, Virtual Box 7.0 btw. I also tried both 32 bit and 64 bit mode for the "virtual box video" mode

As it stands right now, only the iso is available for download. After doing some research, DSL has never had a public code repository. I understand that DSL is just a soup of very lightweight open source/free utils and programs combined together. But, do you plan to keep DSL private or would you be open to having other people make contributions to DSL?
Why am I asking this? Because I am very interested to contribute in this project.
Please let me know if i said anything wrong/incorrect.
