Added German, French, Spanish, Portuguese language support to the "low ram" faster boot startup option
Fixed Mouse Config and Edit Config Files errors in the Control Center
Enabled Root term window option in file manager

Hi dear John,

frugal install - no persistance - 1 go RAM - cpu 1467 mhz - packard bell bv easynote mz35

In Control Center, for me, 2 buttons don't work.

Hardware tab / "Mouse config" option :
nothing happens.

System tab / "Edit Config Files" option :
nothing happens too.

I wish the best for you.

Happy to read you nearly.

Best regards.

Wish to copy Xmms input plugins that  should be have been included: Flac, Musepack, Wavpack and Monkey's Audio to usr/lib/xmms/input. Mod plugin included when most users today don't know what a Mod format is.

Using Zzz fm, under File, Root window, nothng happens. Some days a new window would popup, not now.

How can I copy the files as Root to above directory?

Is there a method to determine either in the install or on CD what the version number of DSL is? Have cd from about June 2024 but did not notice any version number on it.

Hello everyone! I am new to the forum and I am happy that DSL is back in action! Thank you John for resurrecting this awesome project!. 

That being said, I installed DSL on a Qemu/libvirt/kvm VM on Arch Linux and even though it installed correctly, no matter what I do, I cannot get the network to work properly.  When I do a ip addr show, it shows two IP addresses for the eth0 interface:  A 192.168.122.x address, and a 169.254.x.x address.  Also my /etc/resolv.conf file has no nameservers defined in it. I tried to reconfigure the interface using the Network interface tool in Control Center, and I configured the IP to be set by DHCP, but no matter how many times I restart the networking, using  ifdown eth0/ifup eth0, after a minute or so, the damn 169 address appears again and networking completely stops.  I even tried setting the IP as a static IP, but still, the 169 address shows up.  Any idea as to what might be the issue and how I can fix this permanently? or is this a misconfiguration in the base install of DSL?

Thank you and please let me know if you need any more information!

I am launching through Ventoy, and other isos (ex: Knoppix) generate the same error at launch. Is there a file that I am missing, or, can I change a launch option in DSL to enable x64? 

Thanks

Update:

I tried running DSL live from the usb without Ventoy, just Unetbootin and dsl-2024.rc6.lz4 as DSL suggests, and I get the following boot error (no recognized boot device). I tried booting from the usb with and without safe boot. Still haven't been able to get DSL running with any method.

Hi, I'm relatively new to Linux but got everything working so far  

Is there a simple solution to autostart a program (like plex server)when I boot up the system? My goal is to sometimes shut the server down, but when I need I only want to press the button on the device and everything should start automatically.

I tried
- using systemd commands, but DSL doesn't use that? Should/can I install? 
- .config/autostart (the .desktop files work but they don't autostart
- crontab -e? No luck either.

[e] fixed
I made this more complicated than it needed to be In the end it was actually very simple:
In /home there is a folder called /.desktop-session/ (maybe you have to use CTRL+H to make it visible) with a "startup" file. There you can add commands/scripts you want to execute after boot.
--> /home/.desktop-session/startup
I simply opened it, added my command at the end (I also added a "&" because all the other lines had it), saved and rebooted. Finally worked, after two evenings of looking for

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200 (P3, 533MHz, 128MB RAM) and am really having a hard time getting DSL to boot.

Before we begin, I'm a Linux veteran of 30 years, so talk technical, as I shall be doing.

Firstly, the live CD will not boot. Or not past loading the kernel. It just kernel panics. Which is no biggie really, there's ways around that. I'm running the laptop on an 8GB SD card in a 44-pin IDE to SD adapter. So I can install "offline" using my main PC and QEmu, which I have done.  I've made an image of the OS, fully working, using QEmu running with the same specs as the laptop (P3 cpu, 128MB). That was tricky to begin with, as the initrd is too big for 128MB RAM - you can't have an initrd that is more than 1/4 the amount of available space, and at 39MB that's just a few MB too many. But rebuilding the initrd with modules=dep brings it down to a mere 8MB which is perfect.

So... moving it on to the laptop. The kernel boots, and the initrd loads. Then it tries to (as far as I can tell) mount the root filesystem, and fails, and can't run init.  But I cannot work out why.  It doesn't tell me that is what is happening, in so many words, it's what I have inferred from the debug output I can get.  Which is (I had to video capture this and step it frame by frame to get the juicy bits...):

Quote:The error message you get matches the error code EOVERFLOW, which in the open system call is returned if a 32-bit application tries to open a large (>= 2 GB) file:

Quote:EOVERFLOW
pathname refers to a regular file that is too large to be opened. The usual scenario here is that an application compiled on a 32-bit platform without -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 tried to open a file whose size exceeds (1<<31)-1 bytes;

As the text hints, 32-bit applications can access larger files, iff they are compiled with the necessary settings (using larger integers for the relevant data types, and calling the proper versions of the system calls).

It would seem that the application you are running isn't compiled to support large files. And no, you can't change that except by recompiling it or getting a version with large file support.

When eth0 and wlan0 are active, the info is put in one line.

There should be returns to separate the entries right after ${if_up eth0} (2 times) in .conkyrc.

Hello everyone, I have a question to ask, especially for more experts.
I have an old Toshiba satellite pro 4600 with 512mb of ram, with Windows 2000 currently installed, I wanted to know if there is a Linux operating system that can be installed on the PC without problems.
And if this operating system recognizes all the peripherals that make up the laptop, and if it recognizes or is there a way to install the Belkin Wi-Fi card (Wireless G Netbook Card) Model: f5d7010.

A thousand thanks!

I installed NetworkManger on DSL according to these instructions:

https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/...-23-runit/

I worked fine, but the nm-applet appeared without the usual icons in the tray.

When started in a terminal, nm-applet complained:

Could not find the icon 'nm-device-wired'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases

Although the package hicolor-icon-theme is present in DSL the nm-device icons are missing. After a reinstall of the package:

sudo apt install --reinstall hicolor-icon-theme

the icons show in the tray.
