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.

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.

Been trying out the new DSL in Qemu, it's generally working really nicely. I've been missing this kind of fully featured live CD environment for a while now, so it's neat to see DSL come back to fill that void. This post is currently being typed from within the Damn Small Linux 2024 environment.

I have had two issues on it thus far. First one is the lack of a Finnish keyboard layout option, but I presume it will not be that hard to create my own image with it included. Second is that BadWolf seems to crash sometimes, as noted by some other users here. It doesn't seem to be consistent -- I lost the first version of this post trying to check the AntiX minimum processor requirements, but after starting it from a terminal (so that I'd see what gets printed to stderr on crash, if anything) and trying to navigate to the same page it did not crash.

Since AntiX seems to support down to Pentium II, I'll try to test DSL also on my Thinkpad T23 at some point and report back.

Hi,
Sorry for my English,
I don't know how enable fn key (sounds keys)for my Asus EEEPC 1005P
someone could help me? 
thanks

Hello John,

I wish you a good health.

Thank you for the RC6 : very nice.

I meet little problems with zzzFM.

In File menu, it would seems that "Root terminal" option menu and "Root window" option menu don't work.
Always in zzzFM, i right-click in the main window (where are all files) to open the contextual menu.
The "Terminal" option menu doesn't work too.

To read you soon.

Best to you.

Best regards.

For this RC I focused a lot on bug fixes and refinements:

• Replaced gksu with a YAD sudo script
  
• Added DarkHTTPd (a lightweight web server)
  
• Added French, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese support to Sylpheed
  
• Fixed several small bugs and formatting issues
  
• Restored Galternatives and Archive-extract programs
  
• Added a subroutine to bypass menu rebuilding at startup if the language is set to en_* (for faster boot time)
  
• Set up Firefox-esr so that it works using the Fluxbox & JWM window framing by default
  
• Modified "lowram" subroutines to work properly after HD install
