Adélie Linux

[xeno74]

Hi All,

I created a disk image of Adélie 1.0-beta6 today.

New:

• MATE Desktop 1.26.2
• MESA 24.1.7
• exFAT tools
• NTFS3-3G tools
• FUSE

Download of the beta6: adelie-ppc-1.0-beta6-20250119.img.tar.xz 2.4G

md5sum: e111c64ce5ced294114c854c61e39c3b

Packed disk image: 2.4G

Unpacked disk image: 13G

Users:

live without password
root with the password amigaone

Instructions for copying this disk image to a partition (for example sda3):

Code: Select all

# dd if=adelie-ppc-1.0-beta6-20250119.img of=/dev/sda3

Code: Select all

# e2fsck -f /dev/sda3

Code: Select all

# resize2fs /dev/sda3

Code: Select all

# tune2fs -L Adelie /dev/sda3

Login: live without password and after that su for changing to the root user (password: amigaone).




Cheers,
Christian

I'm told there is not enough room on the disk and I should remove some files to make room. I'm too dumb to know where to remove them from. The disk that I know about is full of partitions, not files. Does it mean I should remove files from the partition I want to download to?

Yes

Please note: You need at least a 14GB partition for the latest disk image.

Actually, the partition I download that kind of stuff to is my Fienix partition. I deleted a bunch of stuff with browser names from Fienix/Downloads. After all, the real browser code surely wouldn't be in Downloads, but someplace in the Files thing! (But I notice that some of the icons at the top of my Fienix window with browser names no longer work.)

In any event, I was able to download the Adelie stuff, and dearchive it and put the .img file in /dev/sda11, and I am delighted to finally be back in Adelie! Thanks as always for your kind help, Christian.

Great!

1. The time in the lower right corner is nine hours ahead of my time. I changed the time zone in System Settings and a clock displays the correct time there. Is there a way to make that time show in the corner?

2. If I click on something that comes up as I check out various things in the All Applications list, I seem to lose control. I can move the arrow around the screen, but I can't click on anything and get results. At first I went ahead and rebooted when that happened but then I found out that pressing the ESC button cures the problem. My old Adelie didn't work like that.

I have the same bugs and use MATE instead.

MATE instead of Adelie?
I have a partition labeled MATE and I think I have a command to boot it, but that is as far as I would be able to go anymore. It would want a password I'm sure.

No, I am mean the MATE desktop. You can load it from the display manager (graphical login).

My time in the lower right corner is correct today! (How long has it been since I last logged in to Adelie?)
