EasyOS version 2.3.2, June 22, 2020
Easy Containers GUI improved
What about covering the condition where someone wants to run a video dvd from a suspect source in a container. So they want video and audio, but don't want internet and want maximum security as they don't know what else may be embeded on the dvd, such as external reporting and ID linking.
Maybe i'm getting paranoid again, but it happened in the past and could easily happen again.

Hotspot internet acces
I'm currently on holiday and would lik to test easyos in an unsecure environment. Staying in a hotel and asked for the wifi code.
Booted up in copy- to- RAM mode.
Entering the wifi code and then nothing. Also applicable in the normal mode.
I discoverd it's a hotspot internet access. Not available in easyos??
Hotspot access with my smartphone is working.

Ah, I think that I see what is happening. Where you have the 'easyos-persistent-iso', the files there were created for an earlier version of EasyOS.wdt wrote:Booted easy2.1 (iso),, in vbox
------------
# cd /lib
# ls modules
5.2.7 <***!!!!see below>
# modinfo mt7601u
filename: /lib/modules/5.2.7/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt7601u/mt7601u.ko

intree: Y
name: mt7601u
vermagic: 5.1.15 SMP mod_unload modversions
#
-----------------
*** previous boot # mv modules/5.1.15/ modules/5.2.7
It stuck!!!! This must be the magic of layered filesystems????
I somehow doubt that it modified the iso
If you look there, there is a folder named '.session' and it probably has /lib/modules/5.1.15 -- and, most importantly, a aufs whiteout file named something like '..wh..opaque*' -- can't recall the exact format.
What that whiteout file is doing is blocking the 5.2.7 in the lower easy.sfs layer.
Don't know how that whiteout file could have got there, but I will check the code at bootup.

Try using the network-manager-applet. In the PPM, click the 'pet-buster' radiobutton, then do a search for 'network-manager-applet'blgs wrote:I'm currently on holiday and would lik to test easyos in an unsecure environment. Staying in a hotel and asked for the wifi code.

Hotspot access with my smartphone is working.
Or, just grab it directly:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/easyos/amd64/ ... ster64.pet
All dependencies already installed.
You need to restart JWM and it should appear in the tray.
It can also be started in a terminal, I think the executable is 'nm-applet'.
Edit:
I remember once at a library, the library hotspot was on 5MHz and was not recognised by the wifi on my laptop.

The additional network-manager was already installed.
A hotspot internet access is open for everyone (no passwrd required and therefore extremely unsecure).
But I filled in my userid as wpa passwrd. That won't work. My mistake.
So, I changed the security setting from wpa to none and internet access was activated.
After asking the reception the activation website to activate my account I've got internet.
One thing disturbs me. In the taskbar it is not visible that internet is activated and in operation.
Only a red cross through the icon meaning no internet but internet is in full operation.
Propose to change it with additional text "hotspot" or "unsecure internet". Although I'm in copy-to-RAM mode.

Err.. NO. It is indeed changing the dir name, persistantly,,
persistance is ONLY working in vbox (when on SAME key).
On bare metal, easyos-persistent-iso is not found IF it is on the SAME device,,
fair enough, usually an iso takes up the whole disk, there are NO partitions

This is not making any sense. You are booting the 2.1 iso, yet somehow it is finding and using an older easy.sfs, or so it seems. Is the an older easy.sfs anywhere on the PC?wdt wrote:>What that whiteout file is doing is blocking the 5.2.7 in the lower easy.sfs layer.

What should be happening, is the initrd searches for 'easyos-persistent-iso' and if not found then just boots into ram using the 'easy.sfs' that is in the iso -- and that definitely has /lib/modules/5.2.7
If there is an easy.sfs somewhere, rename it and try booting the iso again.
[url]https://bkhome.org/news/[/url]
> and that definitely has /lib/modules/5.2.7
And you are right,, I extracted easy.sfs and unsquashed it,, the vermagic was right
Many hours later (and all of this is my own damn fault!)
I have never seen so much in lost+found, 100's of files
But that was not it, I had used isolabel on the copy of easy2.1 on the UFD, not realizing that was searched for /
So it found easy1.1, that had the "right" label, used it for the rootfs
I nuked that partition, rootfs not to be found until I renamed it (easy2.1) back to EASYOSOPTICAL
But now vbox does not work, no module vboxvideo, well I have cli
Have not tried on bare metal yet, rather tired
Is there a cli equivalent to apt?

EasyOS does have /usr/local/bin/xdg-open, this is from the Puppy days, it is a script, last edited in 2011. It is very simple, doesn't support any of those options.

At first, on bare metal, dropped me to initrd cli. Because of other drives the UFD is sdd
ls /dev/sdd* shows only up to sdd8 (in the initrd?), so sdd10 & sdd15 will not be seen
A bit of work with gdisk (t on expert menu) and boots OK, with persistance
On the desktop shows sdd16, opens OK, that was why I didn't realize this was the problem
Modules load OK, wifi works, with right data entered didn't even have to "activate", just connected
While it would be a little more work, could the isolabel be specific to the release?
I mean,, instead of EASYOSOPTICAL,, something like EASY21OPTICAL or EASY11OPTICAL or EASY1092OPTICAL?

Re: xdg-open command
Ok, I shall track the full package down, it seems worth having, Ubuntu and Arch seem to use it extensively and redhat seems to have had it for a long time.

some bugs,, this must be my mb, surely others would have said.
Nothing I can do will poweroff or reboot, 3 gui ways, nothing happens,,, reboot in term,freeze,,,CAbksp, nothing,,,reisub,nothing
So I sync, up arrow (4x), hard power off
Now that I think some more, why did I forget CAdelete; haven't tried yet
x11vnc does not seem to pass shift thru, only caps lock gives caps, hard to send <,> or| or: without shift
I have not figured out ssh, if I do, what is password?

2.1.1 pupradio again
To Barry,
As before mentioned, pupradio gui STILL doesn't
launch.
Console shows this output;
# pupradio
/usr/local/pupradio/pupradio: line 117: /root/.pupradio/config: No such file or directory
Oh dear!
Regards.

running off usb sticks
Have had to use SD cards to run Easy since 0.4 on both my Dell Inspirons 1545 (2 and 3 gb respectively). That's been absolutely fine with both machines being pretty fast. Now since recent fix I can use usb sticks to run Buster 2.1.1 ! Magnificent - very many thanks.

Firstly, in a console type in set and see where HOME is, check there for the .pupradio directory as pupradio seems to locate it there. Also check whats listed as WORKINGDIR (check if it's there while the error is appearing please).
Secondly, ?are you getting pupradio's gui appearing, ?are you getting xine (or whatever player is being used as it can be on eof a number) coming up or not. I'm not on that base at present so I can't check first hand, but I am working with an earlier version at present.
This may be a problem between the two as xine does use /root/.xine while pupradio uses HOME/.pupradio for configuration
Can I also sugest you have a look in /tmp/xerrs.log and see what's there as it may give you a hint.
OH, and .pupradio/config contains two lines
Code: Select all
PLAYER=xine
An update,, for x11vnc -nomodtweak makes shift OK
Still no shutdown or reboot with gui, start, setup, right click desktop
CA delete does not work, however ,, reboot in term does work now
Somehow made sshd work, tried too many things to say how
There was no .ssh dir (and obviously the keys within)
This is on 2.1.1.iso
