I suppose we could make a special topic for Finnish conversation, after all this is the Salix Pub! Naantali looks like a place with more visible history than many Finnish towns. Finnish is difficult, everyone says so. But perhaps I am just not as good with languages as I used to be. I can hold a rea...

I am an enthusiastic learner of Finnish! At least one friend of mine, from Espoo, used to be a Salix user, but moved on in the end. Whereabouts are you from in Finland? I returned to Finland this summer for the first time since Corona, and also paid a brief visit earlier this month. Saunottiin runsa...

Unfortunately, it's proved too hard a nut for me to crack - just out of practice, I guess. The first sticking point for me was that it needs this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foma_%28software%29 ... and I can't get it to build, nor make sense of the precompiled binary (not an unreasonable option, ...

I'm glad you got it to work! In the end I came to the conclusion that it's better to just use Haskell-platform (the kitchen sink). But nowadays they do it like this: https://www.haskell.org/downloads/ I used Xmonad as my main WM for many years; now I use ratpoison (there even used to be a Salix Ratp...

Hi novrexi,

and Tervetuloa Salikseen!

Rather out of date, but still useful:

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions on the forum, it's a small and friendly community.

That looks like a useful project. If no one else wants to do it, I could have a go at packaging it.

I have ordered two of these:

that is Sandisk CZ71 32 GB memory sticks. Twenty euros including postage.

I just installed anki, and needed to add the following: mimosa[~]$ sudo twapake -s python-Jinja2-3.0.3-x86_64-1 python-MarkupSafe-2.0.1-x86_64-1 PyQt5-5.15.2-x86_64-5 qt5-webkit-5.212.0_alpha4-x86_64-7 qgnomeplatform-0.5-x86_64-1salix15.0 python-idna-3.3-x86_64-2 python-certifi-2021.10.8-x86_64-2 py...

Trouble is few will understand that acronym. But I think it would be helpful to make it clear in a prominent place that not all USB sticks will work; and what to check for, on the manufacturer's website. Perhaps even a list of working brands. This is just an off-the-wall suggestion, but how about in...

I'll see if I can find a Sandisk stick in town this afternoon! It really would be great to have this to use on the road. One thing I forgot to mention, on the Desktop, various things such as proc, sys, efi are shown as "devices" (with a USB icon). I don't think this was the case with the B...
