New Linux 'Screen of Death' Options: Black - or a Monochrome Tux Logo

Source: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/06/29/1958207/new-linux-screen-of-death-options-black---or-a-monochrome-tux-logo?utm_source=atom1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed

It was analgous to the "Blue Screen of Death" that Windows gives for critical errors, Phoronix wrote. To enable error messages for things like a kernel panic, Linux 6.10 introduced a new panic handler infrastructure for "Direct Rendering Manager" (or DRM) drivers. Phoronix also published a follow-up from Red Hat engineer Javier Martinez Canillas (who was involved in the new DRM Panic infrastructure). Given complaints about being too like Microsoft Windows following his recent Linux "Blue Screen of Death" showcase... Javier showed that a black screen of death is possible if so desired... After all, it's all open-source and thus can customize to your heart's content. And now the panic handler is getting even more new features, Phoronix reported Friday: With the code in Linux 6.10 when DRM Panic is triggered, an ASCII art version of Linux's mascot, Tux the penguin, is rendered as part of the display. With Linux 6.11 it will also be able to handle displaying a monochrome image as the logo. If ASCII art on error messages doesn't satisfy your tastes in 2024+, the DRM Panic code will be able to support a monochrome graphical logo that leverages the Linux kernel's boot-up logo support. The ASCII art penguin will still be used when no graphical logo is found or when the existing "LOGO" Kconfig option is disabled. (Those Tux logo assets being here.) This monochrome logo support in the DRM Panic handler was sent out as part of this week's drm-misc-next pull request ahead of the Linux 6.11 merge window in July. This week's drm-misc-next material also includes TTM memory management improvements, various fixes to the smaller Direct Rendering Manager drivers, and also the previously talked about monochrome TV support for the Raspberry Pi. Long-time Slashdot reader unixbhaskar thinks the new option "will certainly satisfy the modern people... But it is not as eye candy as people think... Moreover, it is monochrome, so certainly not resource-hungry. Plus, if all else fails, the ASCII art logo is still there to show!"

How to Build Your Own Portable Linux

Posted: 2024-06-27 16:00:00
Source: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/how-build-your-own-portable-linux

by George Whittaker

Linux offers a versatile platform for various computing needs, and creating a portable Linux distribution on a USB drive unlocks a world of mobility and flexibility. Whether you're a developer needing a consistent environment, a student testing out different distributions, or someone who needs a secure system while traveling, a portable Linux USB drive can be invaluable. This guide will walk you through selecting the right distribution, creating a bootable USB, configuring it for persistent storage, and troubleshooting common issues.

Introduction to Portable Linux Distributions

A portable Linux distribution is a fully operational version of the Linux operating system configured to run from a USB flash drive. This setup allows users to operate any compatible computer from the USB without affecting the host machine's native operating system. The benefits are numerous: privacy protection, system recovery, security testing, and the ability to carry your desktop with you wherever you go.

Choosing the Right Linux Distribution

The first step in creating a portable Linux system is choosing the right distribution. The ideal choice depends on your needs:

• Lightweight: Lightweight distributions are crucial for performance when running from a USB drive. Examples include Lubuntu, Puppy Linux, and Porteus.
• Support and Compatibility: Consider distributions with active communities and frequent updates, like Ubuntu or Fedora.
• Persistent vs. Non-persistent: Decide if you need persistent storage (where changes are saved across sessions) or a non-persistent setup (which resets after each reboot).

Preparing to Create Your Bootable USB Drive

Before you create your portable Linux, you need a few things:

• USB Drive: A minimum of 8 GB is recommended for most distributions, though 16 GB or more is ideal for those requiring persistent storage.
• Host Computer: Any computer with internet access, capable of downloading the Linux distribution and writing it to the USB drive.
• Software Tools: Tools like Rufus, UNetbootin, or Balena Etcher will help write the Linux ISO file to your USB drive effectively.

Ensure your USB drive is empty or back up its data as it will be formatted during the setup process.

Creating the Bootable USB Drive

Creating your bootable Linux USB involves several key steps:
