Star (Morbius*)

Xfce, Openbox, Fluxbox, JWM, i3 and netinst in amd64, and JWM in i386.
One I tried came with apulse, the Adwaita-Dark gtk3 theme, and connman-ui.
Interesting.
A "live-build demonstration"; no support recommendation indicated at SourceForge.
(edit:  Does it need some Thunar plugins re-installed?  Certainly a repository /etc/apt/sources.list update!)
Has anyone tried refractasnapshot on one of these?  (add Yad .deb from ibiblio or SF for *-gui)

*(Not the DebIan-based Genesis and Livinia ISOs.)

How's this for a sources.list ?

Re: Star (Morbius*)

I guess it lets you know what is available, as all but the first are commented out.

Re: Star (Morbius*)

refractasnapshot and installer should work with any debian/devuan-based system. Ubuntu-based distros can be a little trickier, since some versions don't have live-config-sysvinit in the repo. (e.g. mint18)

Re: Star (Morbius*)

Just wondering why gPartEd won't allow mounting of drives/partitions ("greyed-out") - even for sudo/su?
Enabling automount didn't have the expected effect…
…
Where can I find documentation on this old version of mpv? Looks like all the files in /usr/share/doc/mpv are size=0.
Does the upstream website actually keep old documentation available?
…
(note - running live.)

Re: Star (Morbius*)

Check the other dirs in /usr/share/doc. It's possible that it was all removed to save space. My doc/mpv is full of files that have some content. A reinstall of mpv should fix it.

I don't know about gparted. What you describe is different from the other permission/authentication problems reported for gparted, but it might be related. (consolekit, policykit-1, policykit-1-gnome, libpam-ck-connector, udisks...)  If synaptic is installed, does that work ok?

Re: Star (Morbius*)

Thanks!  Re-install appears to have restored doc files (and yes, synaptic is working).
