I was checking out my modules and found I could simply delete some. Which doesn't seem right. Usually it gives me a permission error. :?
Do you really need some instructions for installing kernels? Hypex? This is strange because you are the specialist of installing kernels on the X1000. You are the developer of the X1Boot Manager.

LOL. Yes I see what you mean and thanks. It's just I found I could remove some unused modules without root and found they didn't have root set on folder. My manager always uses root through sudo to install modules since accessing /lib/modules normally requires root. But somehow some module folders including the parent module folder aren't marked as root only.

What's more strange is that I was able to rm some modules without root which isn't right. But a sudo rm inside a script failed which doesn't make sense. I'm trying to increase security in my manager but I've tested 4 versions of sudo I have on Linux systems and all act different. Most will verify a password. But when validating credentials one fails. And most fail to run a command. They don't make sense! I'm not aware of a root command failing inside a script because it has too many permissions! :-D

So, I was wondering if I had messed up my module extraction, with permissions. Maybe missing an option. It's extracted to /tmp like this then modules copied to system with sudo.

Code: Select all

tar -C "/tmp" -zxf

Hi
Fienix boot on vmlinux-6.5_rc1.
Debian 64 also booted without problems, but when I subsequently upgraded linux64 the network crashed and I am not able to get debian 64 to work correctly.
Afterwards the same thing happened with Debian 32.
Have a nice day

Many thanks for testing! :-) Have you seen any error messages during the crashing of the network?

Hi
I got debian 64 working. However, it is very slow. It's like something running in the background and eating the system's power.
I finished the update. the network was working again after a long wait.
Is there a command that can show which programs are running?

Debian 32 has this error message : failed to start networking.service - raise network interface.
running this as root (X is not working) systemctl status networking.service
Get this : unit networking.service could not be found.
Thank you

Maybe Debian has some problems at the moment. I haven't upgraded it yet, so I haven't noticed the current problems.

Which graphics card are you currently using? Maybe it doesn't have hardware 3D acceleration, so your system is slow.

OK, you have hardware 3D acceleration with the kernel 5.11. Does it also work with the kernel 6.5?

Hi
Here is Fienix with Vmlinux-6.5_rc2. Running fine.
As you can see cpu is running as not more than 20% but in Debian 64 , x1000 cpu is running constantly above 90%. It takes over 5 minutes to get from the black screen where linux has finished loading, and until I see a mouse and again 5 minutes before I am at the logging screen. Then 8 minutes until Mate is loaded. Here everything is really slow and only a few programs can be started. i will continue to upgrade debian 64 and maybe the problem will go away. Debian 32 will I reinstall and see if that helps.
Have a nice day.
