I guess the “uname -r” part should be $(uname -r) but this isn’t the problem with vbox IMO

Amazing project.

I was just trying to boot it up on bare metal yesterday, on an AMD Phenom II machine but Kernel Panic’d on not finding a device to boot from, which was a bit puzzling. Unfortunately had no time to investigate, but I won’t give up, I make it boot somehow on that PC.

Or try to run it on a Raspberry Pi 400.

tried it out in a VM, I was truly impressed by that browser.

I mean, sure, lots of pages don’t work, but lots of pages DOES work on it, with no issues.

Never seen this on any custom, “built in” browser of an alternative OS.

There’s nothing like that is enabled AFAIK, I"m not even sure this board has UEFI (only Legacy BIOS). It’s an Acer Veriton M421G brand PC, with a Phenom II X4 945 CPU.

Not even sure it’s compatible with the OS, but this boot device issue was strange, tho. (had the same problem booting up a partition manager software from floppy that is based on Visopsys)

But will double check everything. Thanks for the tip!

I dd-ed the image straight to the HDD. grub started and booted off from it. lots of messages of PCI devices, I guess some kind of scan. after a while the screen went white, and a bit later the logs of the kernel panic appeared at the top, with the message it could’t find a device to boot from.

so, it seems that the kernel itself didn’t see the hdd it just booted from - standard IDE PATA disk, 120GB. Used dd from a gparted live disc.

First, I resized the partition on the disk to the full, at the next try I left it, as-is.

Both times the same result; the BIOS boots into Serenity, white screen, then kernel panic, couldn’t find a device to boot from.

Thing is, there are 2 DVD drives (IDE and SATA) and a floppy drive attached to the PC, dunno if they can cause any problem. And 1GB memory.

this was yesterday, and since then I haven’t got tieme to fiddle with it, but will. :)

What do you mean by that?

I used x86_64 build, and my CPU is 64-bit. (Ran 64-bit Windows and different Linux systems on it before)

Thanks for the tip, but I know, what I was talking about 😅

I use IDE HDD with this machine. The mobo has several SATA ports, but my HDD is IDE, it’s not a mistake.

Tho, that setting is, indeed is IDE, so I might set it to AHCI for Serenity, but the drive is still hoiked into the IDE bus.

But if the problem is the fact, that I’m trying to use IDE and should try with a SATA drive, I’ll look into it as soon as I can.

And thanks for co-piloting ;)

At the weekend I’ll have some time to fiddle with it.

I think I’ll try to boot Serenity first from USB, check if it wants to boot at all. Maybe I’ll got an Arduino to use as serial monitor to check the log.

Then move on to flashing the grub image to the HDD, again, with a different IDE drive. if thst doesn’t work, I’ll find a SATA HDD and flash that.

I really wanna see this OS boot on real hardware. Then take a good lookaround and develop or port something for it :)

I mean… to be honest, the very first moment I saw her, I knew she will eventually removed from the crew. Her character was just… too empty.

but the way she died… come on, man

kuneho, 7 months ago

I can’t be sure were you sarcastic or nor, in text it’s not easy to determine; but yeah. she was… way too cliché-y compared to… anyone else.

after TOS, bullshit deaths wasn’t such an unexpected thing, but the way she died, especially as the head of security…

idk. also, she was my gf’s favorite, so this also way a giveaway that she will die eventually…

by the way, saw lots of people saying early TNG is shit, but aside FROM THAT FUCKING RIKER MONTAGE SEASON ENDING EPISODE (wtf man?), it was fine IMO. sometimes a little bit rough on the edges, tho, that’s true.

but that’s also true that we didn’t really had any illusions, we were so hyped on Star Trek after TOS and being drunk by the fact that there’s a lot more Star Trek to watch helped us through on the lesser good episodes of TNG. (but the montage, man…)

(oh and fucking Data)

man, I completely forgot about that :D

but I see. and I can aggree that there was potential in her.

Can’t go wrong with Debian and some ligthweight desktop environment, like xfce, as someone also mentioned here

this sandbox craze is slowly pushing things back to the point where we used cartridges and booted off from them straight to the program. who needs an OS at this point? it’s bundled with the app anyway 😆

/s, somewhat

Close Enough is a really great animated tv show by the creator of Regular Show. It’s basically almost the same, but for adults.

if you use Windows and want to have Chrome, why not just use Edge? It’s just conveniently therr, you need nothing to install.

It works with everything that “needs” chrome.

edit: one comment gave me the idea you use Windows but now I’m not sure in it. if not, then sry, ignore this comment :)

I think you can’t go more clean than Chromium. Pretty sure all browsers based on Chromium has some extra features, since those are the only differences in them. Vivaldi, Brave, Maxthon etc…, the same engine in different car, with different extras.

this is why I usually recommend people to use Edge if they really want Chrome, since on Windows, it’s already there. But yeah, on Linux, I wouldn’t really tell anyone to apt install edge.

if I slide my finger from the letter “q” on phone keyboard to bottom right, it’s an ESC.

some apps register that and sometimes leaves the whole page where it was

for Android I think Connect for Lemmy is the best around. also, it gets literally better day to day since the dev is following the app’s community and fixes bugs, implements things from there super rapidly.
