Dumb question, maybe, but how can I obtain and install the Radeon 600 series gpu driver?
My resolution is extreme and unchangable and my vision is quite weak. Many thanks for
any help.

  Problem installing DSL on other partition
Posted by: tony - 04-27-2024, 11:38 AM - Forum: Help Section - Replies (2)

I want to install DSL in my /sda4. I had there slitaz installed. The installation went fine.
But when I boot the computer I got an error message:
"error no such devise 2l0a................. "
"error file /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.55-slitaz not found

Grup still has slitaz recognized in that partition. When I go to Grub to edit
the last line says:

"linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.55-slitaz root=/dev/sda4 "

I don't know much about Grup. But it seems that I have to change the last line
and where it said /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.55-slitaz change it to the DSL image to boot.
If that is the case: What do I have to write there?

Don't mind to re-install. But the part where it said where to put Grub it was
not clear to me. I left on the default, MBR

I would appreciated some help.

  Comments on RC3
Posted by: Yan - 04-18-2024, 02:17 AM - Forum: User Feedback - Replies (6)

I've tried it on my Acer Aspire One 522, so a real system, not virtualisation.

You've updated all the packages; thanks.

Locale en_CA is supposed to be included on the ISO, but it isn't.

On the first boot screen, pressing F3 brings up a list of cities to choose the time zone. Some cities have an asterisk after their name, but others don't. What's the difference?

The installer marks a swap partition as file system type 83 rather than the correct 82.

In the Control Centre (thanks for the correct spelling, BTW [Image: wink.png]), under Network, when choosing Select Wifi Application, I can't choose Connman: the mouse jumps back to Ceni. However, the button marked Wifi Connect starts Connman anyway, and the button under that starts Ceni, so perhaps Select Wifi Application is unnecessary anyway.

When I installed firefox-esr, it appeared in the Applications menu, but frozen-bubble and libreoffice-writer didn't.

I get the following error message after using apt install, but the installation succeeds anyway. This bug seems to originate with AntiX, so you might want to forward it to them:

(desktop-menu:8512): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 17:24:22.083: gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed

  BETA 3 Not Booting...

Both versions of Beta 3 just boot to grub from USB; strangely, the Vbox version boots fine in vbox!

  Release Candidate 3 Now Available
Posted by: John - 04-08-2024, 07:18 AM - Forum: DSL News - Replies (6)

  • Added a significantly improved Bash USB installer that supports data persistence and conserves space on the USB drive (no more DD method!).
  • Included xserver-xorg-video-intel to support native resolution on some EEE PCs and other machines.
  • Created a custom JWM theme color that matches the default in Fluxbox.
  • Fixed a terminal launch bug in zzzFM.
  • Implemented a text mode option at boot to correct a known bug inherited from runit/antiX.
  • Enhanced the Slimski login with dialog to improve user-friendliness.

User feedback is highly valued!

Lightbulb DSL on Proxmox
Posted by: lokamaya - 04-04-2024, 12:35 PM - Forum: User Feedback - Replies (2)

Dear all,

New to DSL. Just download it and run it on Proxmox successfully with 1 core CPU (using qemu32) and 512 RAM. Looking to install DSL permanently on Proxmox but no clue where to begin with. So, now I just tested it on the fly.

Good work, DSL!

Cheers,


   


I notice that booting time and shutdown process took more than 30 seconds. Maybe because DSL run on the fly (not installed).

  DSL 2024 in text-only mode
Posted by: giorgino - 03-28-2024, 07:12 AM - Forum: Help Section - Replies (4)

Hi all; I'm writing from Italy and I'm trying to run DSL2024 in a QEMU box under Linux. I would like to boot in text-only mode, but if I search the ney I can find old tutorials, referring to the old DSL. In muy configuration I have a root user and a normal user; I would like to start in terminal mode choosing what user needs to be activated, as normally in other distros.

Please, can you help me showing which conf files I have to modify?

Thano you all,

Interestingly, AntiX can't connect to my wifi, but DSL can!  Whatever the difference is... keep it.  Smile

  Fatal Error on install
Posted by: krytie3@yahoo.com - 03-26-2024, 10:37 AM - Forum: Help Section - Replies (2)

Tried installing DSL2024 March version from a CD on a Toshiba Satellite L305 with 2GB RAM and 2GHz CPU. Failed twice with the same Fatal Error below. Same DSL2024 CD installed fine on an old HP7955 desktop so I think the CD is fine. Same laptop HDD already has Zorin 16, Zorin 15 and Windows 10 working fine.

"Fatal Error

Could not find file antiX/linuxfs

Searched devices: /dev/sdb  /dev/sr0

Searched types: usb, cd


Please contact Bitjam at DSL forums"

Any ideas on how to get around this other than wiping the HDD and trying again?

Thanks in advance!
