Great and timely fix guys much appreciated.  I had already gone my own route around this minor irritant and found my way back home to lxdm in less than 12 hours!

Nice job riV and VastOne!  Always a smart guy around to fix our stuff just because we're using your SID!  ???

Back to mostly black!

Now I suppose a new wallpaper is going to have be found...



Kind of my current mood and nice new addition to the GMB layouts collection extraordinaire!!!  Nice one VastOne!

After updating I lost the graphical login. (lxdm-greeter-gtk?) My dubious and not very diligent work-around was to hit a tty and grabbed lightdm  ???
Anyway it worked and voila VSIDO is STILL 'the One'!



All that uptime...  Oh well up to date VSIDO and all that goes with it is so awesome to me!  Thanks everyone and you know who you are!!!

Still ticking...  (just been taking a licking!) :P



The mighty VSIDO is a true beast.

Haven't seen it again!  Once again saving one.com's pucker hole...

Is anybody else seeing this error at all when accessing vsido.org?

The SELECT would examine more than MAX_JOIN_SIZE rows; check your WHERE and use SET SQL_BIG_SELECTS=1 or SET MAX_JOIN_SIZE=# if the SELECT is okay

Yes quite frequently.  Like trying to answer this post for example.  It eventually allows me to get to where I'm going on site, but can really be a pain to navigate sometimes...

Still alive and kicking. Mostly...



??? totally unauthorized screengrab of a wallpaper of packrat's...  :o )

old is new, new is old?  This is probably what my desktop looked similar to a decade ago using VSIDO!  8)



Though it might have been a debian sid install from a businesscard.iso based on a great tutorial somewhere by VastOne!!!  A decade later and we're still here.  Have been the whole time!

Almost done.  An old conky, and more than a couple old tint2 configs...

Playing with tint2...

Playing around with compton to get some depth for my FB!

So, after many installs using this latest .fsa method (METHOD to be clear, not the currently available download) I daresay it's about perfect!  I'd have saved myself a lot of grief had I simply read the very beginning of PackRat's post "...tioned drive. Legacy BIOS system"

That said, I've given some effort on the UEFI only way, but to no avail.  So far the only successful way for me has been by installing another distro first (Official Debian Sid/bookworm) in order to get the UEFI signed bios key that comes with that particular distro's installer.  I'm aware of other distros having a signing key as well for UEFI I just haven't looked that deep.  My 3 reasons work for me...

#1. It's to easy to do using the 3 available methods! 

#2. There is so much disk space available these days that another distro I hardly see in order to have a UEFI system is worth it.  A pain to have to update-grub twice but hey small price.  Part of the 'worth' being 3 or 4 second boot times!  8)

#3. There are still a tremendous amount of things about Linux I don't know or understand.  It works.  I don't have to know or understand.  When incredible people like VastOne and PackRat continue to watch over our community/forum and GIVE us their wisdom/knowledge for nothing in return I'm awed.  Thanks to both of you for saving my mind and ALWAYS being there for Linux...

Every now and again I need to check out the latest version of KDE/plasma.
plasma-X11 runs pretty smooth; plasma-wayland not so much.

Lasted about half a day, then back to fluxbox or i3.
I've done the same thing myself over the years in hopes of better KDE understanding.  Alas, I've never achieved enlightenment status with it and always end up right back at Fluxbox myself!

So the 'old' MSI lappy is back and a little worn with age.  Having to use 2 different keyboards currently as the beautiful steel series multicolor keyboard on the laptop decided to stop letting me use the 'x' 'z' and 'Ctrl' keys.  Not sure if something is up or just old age...
Otherwise, this is going to be the new media machine for the house and my new VSIDO goto piece of metal...
Got it up and running using the latest .fsa file available.  Quite the round-about install this time.  UEFI still sucks imo.  Anyway, I was able to successfully get here in the end and thats what matters!!!
