  fbdev, Badwulf,synaptic, xrandr
Posted by: McTea - 02-07-2024, 05:52 PM - Forum: User Feedback - Replies (3)

Hey,here are some Problems I am struggling with:
after installing with the xorg=fbdev parameter on the bootoptions I have an resolution of 480x800 on my EEE PC 4G,which is good. Unfortunately badwulf now only shows blank pages. This effect does not show when installing DSL with save videomode.
xrand, which I use in Antix to scale my screen with: " xrandr --output LVDS1 --scale 1.5x1.5" does not work in DSL.
apt-get update says :It appears that at least one file list is missing. So I am ve not shure if and how to upgrade my system succesfully.
Anyway, I have fun playing around :-) So John, it  is good you restarted this project, Thx.

  Works pretty well in VMWare on Win 11.
Posted by: meo - 02-07-2024, 02:36 PM - Forum: User Feedback - No Replies

After some tveaking it works pretty well as a Virtual Machine in VMWare on Windows 11. First I booted the default and made an install. That left me with a resolution of 800x600 which just becomes a little square on a 13” laptop screen with a resolution of 1920x1080. Found a mention of someone booting in ”Safe Mode” so I tried that. First it gave me a resolution of 1024x786. The live mode is kind of sluggish on my laptop. A Dell XPS 13” with 16 GB of RAM. I allocated 20 GB as disk space and 4 GB of ram making the installation that I have at present. I booted from ”Safe Mode”, updated everything and installed syslinux-utils. After installation it worked pretty well at 1280x786. The terminal, Web Browser and the Editor does not work from the menu now. The terminal did until I made the update. The system is a bit sluggish with a slight improvement after turning Conky off. Took some screen shots that I might share later. I’m typing this running DSL-2024-A that works OK so I’m pretty impressed since it is an alfa release.

  Doing apt upgrade causes Terminal to stop working
Posted by: Yan - 02-06-2024, 02:03 AM - Forum: User Feedback - Replies (4)

I installed DSL, then did apt update, apt upgrade. This caused Terminal to stop working. (Or at least there's nothing visible on the desktop; maybe it's doing something I can't see.)

After installation (and before upgrading), conky says I'm using 80 MB of RAM, but free says I'm using 202 MB (whch is still very little, of course).

DSL 2024 works reasonably well on my Aspire One 522, with a two-core AMD C-50 APU and 2 GB of RAM (upgraded from 1 GB, with 256 MB reserved for video).

Web "Brawsers" is a typo (not in the main menu, but under "Term Apps").

I am still on the hunt for potential candidates for removal.  Please post if you have any suggestions.  Please keep in mind that the target of this project is to serve older hardware.

  DSL won't boot from USB on T440
Posted by: fraggle - 02-04-2024, 10:18 PM - Forum: Help Section - Replies (3)

As the title says. I used 

Code:
doas dd bs=4M if=dsl-2024.alpha.iso of=/dev/sdc status=progress oflag=sync
to create the USB since I wanted to play with it on bare metal. dd completes successfully and all files are on the USB drive as they should be.

Regardless of BIOS options on my T440 it just will not boot and loops back to the boot device list.
I've tried CSM on and off, UEFI only, Legacy only, Both with UEFI preference.

Am I missing something with the dd command or do I need to unpack the ISO and change some things?
Maybe I'm missing some obscure BIOS setting that I'm unaware of yet.

Any help would be appreciated.

Installation on hdd took app. 20mins. (40GB - probably 20+ years old).

Starting from hdd than took app. 3mins.

It is usable - but a bit slow.
Not going to install and try firefox ;-)

A still have the advertising paper from this beast.
3999,-
