Slax author's Blog (RSS)

Very good!
I love scite, pcmanfm is my favorite and connman is a good solution; but, above all, load modules "on the fly" is the core of the Slax.
Code for kernel compilation is already included in github source code under linux-live/Slax/debian11/ ?
Thank you!

The script for kernel compilation is included here:
https://github.com/Tomas-M/linux-live/blob/master/tools/aufs-kernel-compile-and-install
But it is a script just for my personal purposes, you may tweak it for your needs (the way how it looks for the previous kernel configuration in /boot/config* may not work if you do not have config-5.10.0-11 installed)

How can i enable other window manager like i3wm on slax start ?

+Ujin
Install i3 (`apt install i3`) and replace `startfluxbox` with `i3` in ~/.xinitrc

thank you all working

I came here because version 9 does not support Intel Ethernet I219-LM and I failed to update the intel drivers myself as the kernel headers for Debian 9 were not found.

But this one does support that LAN Card out of the box.

Looking forward for the stable release.

I don't know how much you want to implement on board and keep the file size low, but here I my wishes:

On version 9 I had issues with selecting the proper sound output device systemwide. Instead I had to set the output device manually for example in VLC. It would be good to have at least basic hardware control for audio and video output on board because many systems come with multiple audio and video output ports and Linux most of the time picks the wrong one. It would be good to be able to set the correct audio and video output devices without having to install additional software.

I helped myself by installing pulasaudio volume control and Audio Picker in Chrome.

Please add a better "savechange" option that also detects changed files and not only new files.

Right now changes are only recognized, if a new file is created. If you just change the configuration inside an already existing config file, that change is not detected.

Nico, that is not the case, all changes are detected.
However, there are some excluded files, so if you modify those the change is ignored.

EXCLUDE="^\$|/\$|[.]wh[.][.]wh[.]orph/|^[.]wh[.][.]wh[.]plnk/|^[.]wh[.][.]wh[.]aufs|^var/cache/|^var/backups/|^var/tmp/|^var/log/|^var/lib/apt/|^var/lib/dhcp/|^var/lib/systemd/|^sbin/fsck[.]aufs|^etc/resolv[.]conf|^root/[.]Xauthority|^root/[.]xsession-errors|^root/[.]fehbg|^root/[.]fluxbox/lastwallpaper|^root/[.]fluxbox/menu_resolution|^etc/mtab|^etc/fstab|^boot/|^dev/|^mnt/|^proc/|^run/|^sys/|^tmp/"

is there support for uefi yet ?

tomas pls, support for exclude /etc/wpa_supplicant/ files from changes

My first comment here. i have been living out of a usb key with Slax 9 for about 1 year and a half and I just couldn't imagine Slax without loading modules on the fly. So I'm so happy you decided to use aufs again!!!! Thank you Tomas :)

Hi Thomas, I'm glad you're back!

@lukve2022 please explain why you suggest to exclude that directory
Thank you

Good day, the other day I found slax, this is the top, mega respect to the author.
In this version, root access is disabled for ssh by default, unlike version 9. I fixed it myself, maybe it will come in handy for someone, although those who need ssh, I think, are able to handle this themselves. I just had to run to the host twice)
Where can I get up-to-date information on slax, discord?

Can't edit previous post, swap is enabled by default too.

@Tomas M
I used savechange save sources.list change and genslaxiso.
But the new iso Can't override /etc/apt/sources.list File

+100000000

Thanks for bring back aufs this make usefull my old scripts Works again apt2sb and buildep2sb i create my own Sb packages Like mpg123, links, lynx and mplayer i do t want to háve in each packages my WiFi settings and i must say your new added WiFi settings app is good choice and thnaks for the blackbox in core modules

Just discovered Slax. Very cool! I will find time to have a play with this.

Hi Lukve,

could you please upload your buildep2sb script somewhere ?

Thank you
