i forgot my username with password

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,

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
  

Hi dear John,

thanks for all.

In low ram mode.

I don't know if it is a "bug".

When I plug in a usbkey, this isn't automatically mounted.
I have to do "sudo make-fstab" then "sudo mount..." to access it.

Thank you.

Bests regards

Bonjour cher John,

Merci pour tout.

En mode Low RAM.

Je ne sais pas si c’est un « bug ».

Lorsque je branche une clé USB, celle-ci n’est pas automatiquement montée.

Je dois faire « sudo make-fstab » puis « sudo mount... » pour y accéder.

Merci.

Cordialement,

Hi people. I have a laptop with 2 GB of RAM and 2 cores of RAM. The question is, which version is better to choose, if of course there are enough characteristics for the installations

Hi.  Do I still need to run Isohybrid on the dsl-2024.rc5.iso image to create a bootable USB?  I'm on Linux Mint and have tried this following the instructions and using USB Image Writer and Etcher to write to USB.  No luck so far in creating a bootable USB for my Asus VivoBook.  Never had any problems booting other distros from USB with my laptop before.

Any links to a foolproof, USB bootable DSL image for new Linux users?  Thanks.

Broadcom BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless

Bonjour John,

Lorsque je clique droit sur un fichier archive (par exemple .tar.xz ou .zip) et que je choisis Ouvrir > Lister le contenu, sylpheed est lancé.

J'essaye cmus en ce moment. C'est un très bon lecteur de musique qui accepte beaucoup de format et même le protocole http : bravo de l'avoir inclus.

Merci.

Amitiés.

Hello John

When I right-click on an archive file (e.g. .tar.xz or .zip) and choose Open > List Contents, sylpheed is launched.

I'm trying cmus right now. It's a very good music player that accepts a lot of formats (flac, ogg, mp3, opus, wav...) and even the http protocol and may be https: congratulations for including it.

Thank you.
