"DisableAbsoluteVolume"=dword:00000001

Make a persistent Slitaz Linux USB using a 128MB stick

Do you use LILI, UUI or tazusb.exe because it won't fit 128MB USB or it just won't boot.

Download rolling iso from https://www.slitaz.org/en/get/

Boot it up using VMware, it might not enter X because you need to login as root/root, type tazx, configure to use vmware display driver.

normal user is tux

format your USB using

tazusb format /dev/sda1

create image from current running live ISO

tazusb gen-liveusb /dev/sda1

Now you can try to boot that USB using VMware, if VMware cannot boot it, in vmx file, change or add the following lines.

firmware = "efi"

efi.legacyBoot.enabled = "true"

When ever you make config changes, you need to rebuild rootfs.gz using

tazusb writefs [none|gzip|lzma]

use lzma if your have small USB but fast CPU.

Windows 10 2004/20H2 Intel UHD Graphics 630 Black Screen with mouse cursor

I tried driver version 27.20.100.9025, 27.20.100.8935, 26.20.100.7210 all have the same problem

Symptoms

1. Black Screen with mouse cursor after screen saver / screen wake up after power plan turn off screen, only can fix by restart.

2. The Black Screen Monitor is connected to Intel UHD Graphics 630

2. If press Ctrl+Shift+Windows+B or Windows+E it might flash your desktop back for short seconds and goes back again or might not.

3. If you attach another monitor to Intel UHD Graphics 630, it will also be black with cursor.

4. If you attach another monitor to PEG/PCIE Graphics card, that monitor works fine

5. If you extend desktop with both Intel UHD Graphics 630 and the PEG/PCIE Graphics Card, you will find that when you click on the black screen, actually it works, Windows response to your mouse click when you click on the location start menu or open applications even if it is black.

Solution

1. Repeat the following steps until there is no Intel drivers left and it uses Microsoft Graphics Adapter driver

    a. Uninstall Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 in Device Manager with "Delete the driver software for this device" checked.

    b. Right click on your computer and click "Rescan for hardware changes"

2. Windows 10 will use the default Microsoft driver for a few minutes and install Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630 again with driver version 27.20.100.8681

3. Enable OS APSM and Disable all other PCI APSM in BIOS, 

4. Install the newest driver 27.20.100.9079 should solve the problem

Intel outdated driver conflict with Windows 10 1903

If you have Intel drivers with release date older than 2017, properly you will be blocked to update Windows 10 build 1903.

My experience is I have a Intel Network Adapter I219-V2 which was using a driver released in 2017 in version 20, somehow Intel discontinued the update of that driver and release a new series of network adapter software, the newest release date is 2019/06/06 in version 12.19.9.8. In a result that it cannot be upgraded by Windows Update nor directly upgraded by Intel Installation Package. I have to manual uninstall everything even the driver itself and install the Intel Installation Package manually in order to update to the newest driver.

Now, Windows 10 allows me to update to 1903.
