Thanks! This sounds promising but there is not much there in the way of ... hey ... here is what you do with this stuff.

/usr ... do I just copy the contents into the /usr directory?

/debian .... do not know what to do with this

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Pop!_OS on Kali Linux in c/pop_os

[–] TheAnalogKid 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is what I feared / thought. I was thinking about doing it the Pop!_OS to Kali direction but there are challenges there too.

Kali does a lot of very unique configurations for compatibility like still having Python 2 for backwards compatibility with the huge number of exploit scripts that were written in Python 2.

I love the idea of having the Pop!_OS and the tiling but not sure that I want to spend the time and endure the pain of making it all work. I tried playing with i3 and liked that too but there were some issues that became show stoppers.

Thanks for the reply!

Oryx Pro (v8 I believe) does not boot when Thunderbolt is plugged in (self.pop_os)

Hello,

I have an Oryx Pro (2021 - oryp8) and I am using a CalDigit TS4 Thunderbolt Dock (a really, really nice piece of hardware!) and if I boot, or reboot the Oryx Pro while it is plugged into the dock the system will not boot.

The boot gets as far as displaying the System76 logo but it hangs there.

If I unplug the cable to the dock and then power off the Oryx Pro and then power it back on it will fully boot.

It would be nice if the system would fully boot while the TB4 dock is plugged in. It would be nice if the Oryx Pro were "smarter" about the devices that it see during the boot process.

Side note - when I do plug the TS4 dock into the Oryx Pro it really takes quite a while for the system to figure everything out and get the multiple monitor configuration and the mouse and keyboard connected (I would say at least 20 - 30 seconds or more - I have never timed it though).

So, is it possible to boot with a Thunderbolt dock plugged in? Will it ever be possible?

Thanks!

Pop!_OS on Kali Linux (self.pop_os)

Hello,

I am trying to make my Kali Linux virtual machines behave similarly to my Pop!_OS system. I am looking for the tiling desktop, workspaces, shortcuts, etc.

I installed Kali into a VM and made sure to install the GNOME desktop using the GDM3 window manager. I then followed these instructions, using the Ubuntu portion of the instructions - https://support.system76.com/articles/pop-shell/

I do have the option of turning on the tiling but the workspaces and the shortcuts functionality does not all appear to be there.

Can anyone help point me down the path of getting the full Pop!_OS desktop functionality on a Kali Linux build?

Thanks!
