Glad you got it working.

FWIW (may work in Win7): I did a separate XP install for a dual core CPU to see if I could get better video performance. XP will install the multicore drivers when '2...

Although there may be other issues for Win7, some possibilities...

1. are you (username) a member of host's vboxusers in /etc/group

2. at bottom right of the VM window is the USB icon......

Was just a thought... looks like you've got all the req'd pkgs so I dunno what to suggest.



Lol, have a great weekend!


@ infiniphunk

Was one of the missing deps "linux-headers-2.6.32-trunk-amd64"? Or maybe "ia32-libs"? I don't think either of them are shown as deps for Debian's OSE version but both of them are dependencies for the...

Got sidetracked by alla that turkey 'n stuffing and missed Kiara 7, but I did get Kiara 8 plain. In text-mode:


Triggering udev events: /sbin/udevadm trigger

Same boot problem occurred:

copying content of rootcopy directory
copying liblinuxlive library to union
Killed
recreating /etc/fstab and /mnt directories
Killed

Tried the other boot modes...

Downloading now and look forward to seeing the changes. Can't spend any time with it until tonight... will post tomorrow.

Kmount sounds great, but without seeing it I'm not sure I understand the purpose. My fstab has 'user,noauto' so I can mount or unmount partitions and drives as needed. Konqueror's default "System...

Booted text-mode, took 20 seconds to get to "copying content of rootcopy directory" then a 30 second delay, then...

Downloading now. I'll post tomorrow.

Loaded the "Start Fluxbox by default" module (noticed there were only two of 'em yesterday) but it didn't work. There's an xsession chooser you might wanna check out. I used it for a while when...

Booted the default Slax-6.1.2 to the built in fluxbox desktop. Seems to work fine. You recall what the problems are?

May explain why they still have three modules:"Start Fluxbox by default," and why all have "not verified" warnings. When I searched the forum, more than a few posters mentioned fluxbox as their...

You're welcome, and I appreciate your other comments. As to the explanations and what I missed, well, I like buttons.



One of the isos I put together Sunday uses these modules:...

BJ, I appreciate the possible alternatives but what you're suggesting is beyond where I want to go.



Except for installing Slax to the HD and trying it out for a while, I've had little to do...

Went to the site and didn't see a download labeled Kiara 4... is that the name of the "next one" you referred to? Not finished uploading yet? When I get it, I'll try both VBox and burning to a CD.
...

The odd thing is not that useradd's not working in a shell script, its that the useradd command itself doesn't work. What would cause a command to stop working?



VBox is a software environment...

In VBox...

Booted Slax to text mode. Logged in and typed:

root@slax:~# /usr/sbin/useradd -d /home/alderon -m -e 2009-12-31 -u 1000 -g users -s /bin/bash alderon
A second later, it returned...

Seems to me that explanation and assessment are prompted from a well-grounded familiarity with konqueror's inter-process stuff, like dcop, servicemenus, kioslaves and more. I don't have that...

Lol, yup, I'm enjoying this and wish I could spend s'more time on it. Your posts offered the tools to actually _do_ something with the iso, to work with it, and I appreciate that!

Got the new RC...

I reloaded Kiara in VBox with the default settings, which means the booted OS doesn't 'see' the host's hardware. No change. Like you, I'm wondering if anyone else has had any issues with the iso.
...

Well, learning how to edit an iso is a new experience, and I thank you. Didn't burn a CD for VBox; the iso is all that's needed. I mounted the isos in separate temp directories and copied the...

Logged in and, before startx, did xconf (musta missed that one). After about 5 minutes with a black screen, I entered Ctrl+c and got no response, so I rebooted with VBox's reset. Logged in again and...

Loaded Kiara in VirtualBox 3.0.8...

Booted to default text mode, which worked fine. Startx opened (600x800) to the desktop with "Root Desktop Environment" background (nice graphics). Took about...

Ahh... that's the kind of distinction I was wondering about and why I posted. Being a newer user, I wanted to know if others saw what I was seeing and could confirm it, or show me where I wasn't...
