To make it clear. In salix live installer there are two areas. On the left to install "copy live system to USB" button (frugal installation) on a usb. And to the right to install (real installation) on an internal hard disk or external ssd disk or USB stick, the button says "install ...

I used the installer built into the Live ISO to install onto a USB thumbdrive. The thumbdrive never booted correctly. The initrd doesn't detect any USB storage devices during bootup. Are you saying I need to use a different method to install onto a USB thumbdrive? I know there's a tool to copy the L...

GPT partition table, GRUB bootloader installed with --removable flag, fstab is configured to use UUIDs instead of /dev paths, grub.cfg contains the correct location for the root partition. This configuration works for several other distros I have installed on identical USB thumbdrives and still work...

Any ideas?

...to clarify, when I say I installed Salix onto a USB drive, I really mean I installed it, I didn't use the "copy LiveCD to USB stick" option.

Yes, you're missing several pieces of KDE, plasma-desktop is only a small part of it. The easiest way to include what is needed is to run: sudo slapt-get --install-set kde (although this will drag some things that are not exactly essential) Excellent, that worked, thanks. I've never seen that "...

I installed the "plasma-desktop" package in Gslapt, as well as a few other KDE-related packages I was able to easily identify by name, but when I actually log into a KDE session, after the loading screen goes away I'm left with a blank black desktop. Eventually the session locks, and I see...

Yes, if you follow the beta thread, you'll find out that some upgrades need to be applied in the right order. First upgrade spkg. Then upgrade slapt-get. Then remove and reinstall the qogir-icon-theme package. The following should work if I remember correctly: sudo slapt-get -u sudo slapt-get -i sp...
