To read if you have an ATI/Radeon or a
Nvidia Optimus Graphics card
On one of my laptops with an ATI card, I could easily
run CruxEX 3.8 from a USB stick. When the system was
installed to the hard drive, however, X did not start.
(Error: vesa: Ignoring device with a bound kernel).
I could only solve this through the following
commands/measures in console mode:
1. ports -u
2. prt-get remove xorg-xf86-video-ati
xorg-xf86-video-vesa
3. Finally, I created this xorg.conf
file and put the same in /etc/X11. Then X
started up nicely!

CruxEX 3.8 64bit Linux

INSTALLATION TO A USB STICK
Use Rufus 4.7 in
Windows. No persistence. The best way to run CruxEX
Build 250427 is to run it super fast from RAM.
After boot you can eject the USB stick.
Login to LXDE
Log in from Slim Login Manager as the ordinary user live
or as root with password live/root.
While logged in as root you won't have sound. While
logged in as live you can use Sudo
to become root. Example command: sudo pcmanfm. Problems with X?
Please read my advice below in the left column.
Wireless connections
Use NetworkManager/NetworkManager
Applet to configure wireless connections. Give
your WEP/WAP password and connect. That's it! Maybe you
will have to disconnect
and reconnect. (Just click on the applet icon
in the menu bar to the right).
Install/remove software
Please read about CRUX
Ports
System. Most important commands: ports -u,
prt-get sysup, prt-get depinst
MyUsefulProgram, prt-get remove
MyUnnecessaryProgram
NOTE1: Don't forget to run ports
-u first! Sometimes it can be necessary to add -if
(ignore footprint) and/or -im (ignore
md5sum) and/or -is
(ignore signatue) to the just mentioned install command
prt-get depinst. Also -f (force) can be
needed. NOTE2:
If you just want to update/upgrade/reinstall one package
you can do it with prt-get update MyUsefulPackage
NOTE 3: When upgrading the whole
CruxEX/CRUX system you must exclude Firefox and Rust.
Firefox requires
Rust to be built. So you must use this command: prt-get
sysup --ignore=firefox,rust,rust-bin
Study ALL
INSTALLED packages in CruxEX 3.8.
KNOWN "PROBLEM"/ISSUE
It can be necessary to log in twice before you can start
any apps. I.e. just log out from the LXDE Desktop and
log in again. Everything will be alright then.

LXDE Desktop for the live user in Build 250427
