Both VSIDO FSA's were updated to the new 6.5.0-1-amd64 kernel

You can download the btrfs and ext4 fsarchives at the VSIDO download site here

There is also a How To on how to effectively use fsarchive to get this installed

There is a current a package list that shows everything that is installed in VSIDO. Please review this file and let me know of anything needed, removed or added

That looks like a fresh install riV, if so how did it go for you?

General Support / VirtualBox 7.0.10 on kernel 6.4 FIX
September 02, 2023, 02:40:39 AM
Been without VirtualBox for the last couple of weeks until I found this fix and it works.

Simply edit

sudo medit /usr/share/virtualbox/src/vboxhost/vboxnetflt/linux/VBoxNetFlt-linux.c
and add

#include <net/gso.h>
below the line

#include <linux/inetdevice.h>
Then run

sudo /sbin/vboxconfig
and VirtualBox is back to good

VSIDO Changes / Testing a new theme here on the forum
August 18, 2023, 07:35:50 PM
I have found a dark theme I really like and may keep.. The only thing I would like to change is making the Search Element right below the Top left section into a News Element.. I'd also like to change all the Orange and Yellow shite into a blue #5E7FA2

Let me know what y'all think

VSIDO Changes / Email settings and Notifications
August 14, 2023, 02:55:06 AM
With the move to the 2.1.4 version of SMF it appears that all email notifications to replies and messaging was turned off in favor of the Alert notification. If you want to receive email notifications you have to set that up again in your Forum Profile and Notifications Settings

Hey RatMan.. I am parking this here because it makes sense since there is so much How To discussion on using fsarchiver.. In using btrfs exclusively I ran into an issue where I could not get fsarchiver to restore my main root partition that I do all my work on. Since I use nVidia, occasionally I get a broken system due to a nVidia upgrade where I need to wait a day or more for nVidia to fix and release the code.. So I keep a near weekly backup of my current system and restore it to a secondary disk on the same machine.. In all my work with ext4, it never had any issues with uuid's, in fact it gives no shits about how you want to restore to, btrfs on the other hand does. Fsarchiver will not restore a btrfs file system to the machine if it detects the same uuid already on that machine, it spits out an error and life goes on.

Still have the issue though and needed a solution other than creating snapshots (story for another day) and began a search that led me straight to the fsarchiver manpages and a solution which made fsarchiver that much more an incredible tool IMO.. there is a uuid option to change the uuid on the restore! Below is the fsarchive command to generate it and also a cool site that generates random uuid's

Get a random uuid here: Random UUID (v4) generator

sudo fsarchiver -v restfs vsido_btrfs_23DEC2023.fsa id=0,dest=/dev/sdXX,uuid=ea33a312-71f8-4172-b3c9-027ca7f4264a
The uuid in that example is one I pulled for that site DO NOT USE IT, get your own!

Quote from: vitforlinux on August 10, 2023, 12:59:05 PMYes, no problems, I used MX Linux 21.3, then RhinoLinux Grub (Ubuntu 23.10)... best grub: start Artix and Void.

I've refrained from writing a mini guide on my blog, maybe Vsido isn't for everyone. Many would find that Linux runs badly without realizing that a Sid-based distro has some problems from time to time.


Meh, it is all in the end users hands and I believe our target audience is those that have been around the block a few times .. At the same time we are also aware that any user wanting to use this one (or any distro) can have a forum and several decades of expertise to help with anything. Me personally, I have always believed SID to be maligned as the problem child when in reality it is as good as anything that a good backup can restore
