There is no locales.squashfs, I might make it later in time, but if you want to make yourself, here's how I always do:

EDIT: For the conky problem, it might help if you edit ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh and move this block of code to the bottom (and put maybe some sleep time before it e.g. sleep 3):

Code: Select all

if [ -f /mnt/live/tmp/modules ]; then
conky -c ~/.conkyrc-port &
else
conky -c ~/.conkyrc-live &
fi

If that doesn't help, some experimenting with the order of commands in autostart.sh might do

Is there any possibility to mount Partitions with DC ?

Quite interesting ! Cheers !

it seems DoubleCommander is supposed to HAVE mounting capabilities https://doublecmd.github.io/doc/en/help.html (check 3.3. Drives button bar). For some reason I can't see unmounted drives.

Getting an error/failure on Debian Dog Linux, many different versions such as DebianDog64 Jessie, StretchDog64:

Code: Select all

Couldn't find matching GLX visual

Program is game emulator mednafen, should only require SDL 1.2, which appears to be there.
Installs and works fine in all full Linux distros, all current Puppy Linux and Dpup alpha, with various versions of program based on particular distro.

Installs fine but fails when executed in all Debain Dog Linux.

Aha! Figured someone knew what that was.

That's what DD was missing. Installed libgl1-mesa-dri and that fixed it.
Whoa, that's a chunk of space. No wonder the DD size was so small.

trister wrote:Question about PS1 command prompt:

In DebianDog64 jessie I set the command prompt in /etc/profile.d/git_bash_prompt.sh

and it works ok (loaded ok from inside file /etc/profile)

In StretchDog64 I noticed that /etc/profile is ignored ( I even commented out the line that seem to load bash.bashrc ) and my script for setting custom PS1 do not load.

The only way of changing globlally PS1 is by directly changing /etc/bash.bashrc .

For some reason ROXterm and the other terminals command prompt is loaded by bash.bashrc
The prompt changes if I run the script manually in Stretch (./etc/profile.d/git_bash_prompt.sh) so it is not an incompability issue of my script.

I expected the same behaviour in both Jessie and Stretch.

Thanks again for that great Distro

apt-get install slim

default_user        root
auto_login          yes

By installing a login manager, I'd recommend slim:

Code: Select all

apt-get install slim

Will install custom slim package, with menu entry enable/disable
After install (and reboot) it will be enabled and autologin as root, to change that, go in /etc/slim.conf and edit e.g:

Code: Select all

default_user        root
auto_login          yes

as desired e.g. default as another user or "auto_login no"
