Just need to maybe get with a packager and have them package the newest version, the microcode version in the repo is the next-to-latest version, it's from July 2017 and the newest one is November 2017, so it's not like the current jessie microcode package is way old or anything.

I kinda doubt it has any fixes for meltdown in it.

New versions of Openbox up today, 64 bit mini and maximal 1.0.7.

This is mainly a maintenance and update release, several dozen updates in the last two months, lots of programs and an important kernel update.

Palemoon is updated to very latest version (released yesterday in fact) 27.7.2.

All repo software updated to yesterday (2-01-2018).

Added acpi-support to both and added ntp to the minimal, some small fixes here and there and some work on icons etc.

Probably going to take the Mate versions and the 32 bit openbox down, they are old now and it's not likely i'll update them anymore, going to focus on 64 bit Openbox.

As far as I know that's the latest one.

Thanks for heads-up, looks like some new versions of the base packages for snapshot and installer.

I think new GUI packages are forthcoming too but haven't spoken to FSR in a while, i've been in and out and busy a lot through the holidays, starting to catch up on my 'nix now.

I am using highly hacked and butchered versions in Vuu-do, lol, I re-did all the yad dialogues in both gui scripts, it's very pretty now IMO but don't know if they'll make the cut.

But for sure, if you use Vuu-do, be sure and remember that the Refracta-tools have been modded extensively to be Vuu-do specific, the excludes files, conf files, the scripts themselves etc. There's also some changes in the live config stuff that works with Refracta to make the magic happen. So if you are using Vuu-do just as a base to make something very different, you may need to do a lot of editing, or just re-install the packages and start fresh.

Well I did the update just now, reloading Synaptic just showed the Linux image metapackage and one other as upgradable, not the kernel itself, but when I upgraded the two packages it installed the new kernel but in addition to the older kernel, so now have two. I assume the older can be deleted but just wondering why it didn't do it as an upgrade instead?

They're all using sub-space for communications.

Live long and prosper!

You would think, but in practice i've done it a bunch of times in the last year, and been left with a huge mess to clean up every time.

Fsmithred's iso's were what I was talking about as far as doing a clean ascii install.

I could make a clean Vuu-do ascii but it would be a lot of work I just don't have time for right now, i'm waiting for the official release, then I will do a net-install and use Miyo's build method to make Vuu-do Armadillo.

FYI it would be MUCH better policy to do a clean ascii install instead of "upgrading" by changing your sources. Going from jessie to ascii leaves you with a lot of junk floating around, you'll have an extra libicu, extra c processors etc in addition to other challenges.

Wow, kinda lame that. Even Pcmanfm has a built-in search function (not a very good one but it's there). Best native search function that i've tried is in Caja (Mate file manager), it works really well for me.

Well now i'm confused. All my Vuu-do builds trace back to the original Miyolinux I started with, and I have never experienced this issue.

Just for clarity though: The builds were started offline completely, from a clean install of Miyolinux (liveCD), and never to this day have I plugged in an ethernet cable to the laptop I build with, all updating is done through wi-fi.

I do delete a LOT of stuff that might otherwise stay in a normal install, especially before I roll an iso, my Refracta-excludes file is relentless.

I updated some files recently, newer versions of dbus from the ascii repo, and newer dbus has libapparmor as a dependency. First time it's been on my machine.

All I have in /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions is lightdm and lightdm_chromium-browser though, I do have FF installed on this machine but there's no profile for it in that folder.
