Recovery guide for a SysLinuxOS system installed on a LUKS-encrypted partition that no longer boots because GRUB is corrupted, overwritten, or was never installed correctly. This is the natural follow-up to Restoring GRUB on SysLinuxOS (btrfs with subvolumes): here the btrfs root lives inside a LUKS volume, so it has to be unlocked before the @ subvolume can… Leggi tutto »Restoring GRUB on SysLinuxOS with Encrypted Partitions (LUKS)
The terminal-router workspace keeps the router session and the AI observer in two independent panes. This article follows terminal-router AI assistants on Cisco and Huawei routers. The earlier article introduced the idea of recording a terminal session and allowing Claude Code or Codex to read the log. Version 1.1.0 turns that mechanism into a complete operational workspace for system integrators… Leggi tutto »terminal-router 1.1.0 an integrated AI observer for Cisco and Huawei routers
Recovery guide for a SysLinuxOS system that no longer boots because GRUB is corrupted, overwritten (typically after installing Windows in dual-boot), or was never installed correctly. This covers SysLinuxOS’s standard btrfs layout, with the root filesystem in the @ subvolume and @home kept separate. When you need this The PC shows error: no such device or drops straight into a… Leggi tutto »Restoring GRUB on SysLinuxOS (btrfs with subvolumes)
SysLinuxOS 13.3 ships in both MATE and Gnome editions. Compared to 13.2 it brings a long list of under-the-hood fixes, but the real headline of this release is something else: for the first time, an agentic AI is natively built into the Live session, ready to work on the real running system, disks, filesystems, services, logs with nothing to install… Leggi tutto »SysLinuxOS 13.3
How many times have you had a problem on your Linux system and knew exactly what you wanted to do, but not the exact command, the right flags, or the syntax of that one tool you use once every six months? terminal-system exists for that: describe the problem in natural language, an AI assistant (Claude Code or Codex, called non-interactively… Leggi tutto »Terminal-system AI assistant (Claude Code, Codex) for your Linux system
Anyone who works on Cisco or Huawei routers/switches over SSH knows an AI assistant like Claude Code or Codex should never touch the device directly — no access, no risk of a wrong command hitting a production box. But it can be a genuinely useful second pair of eyes if it can see what you type and respond in real… Leggi tutto »Terminal-router AI assistants (Claude Code, Codex) on Cisco/Huawei routers
Starting with distroclone 1.4.10 and distroclone-backup 1.3.4, the two tools are fully interoperable on btrfs filesystems. DistroClone can build a live ISO directly from the rootfs cache created by DistroClone Backup, bypassing the live rsync clone step entirely. This guide explains the technical architecture behind the feature, when to use it, and how btrfs subvolume layout affects both tools. Why… Leggi tutto »Build a Live ISO from DistroClone Backup Cache

SysLinuxOS – Snapshot Management Guide 1. Introduction SysLinuxOS 13.2 uses btrfs as its default filesystem and integrates snapper, grub-btrfs, and the syslinuxos-rollback helper to provide automatic, GRUB-bootable filesystem snapshots. Every time the system is updated or a snapshot is created manually, a copy of the root filesystem is stored in /.snapshots. These snapshots appear as boot entries in the… Leggi tutto »SysLinuxOS Snapshot Management Guide
SysLinuxOS 13.2 there was no more time This release is not a simple update, but it is the “14” version that I had in mind, a real epochal change. There was no more time and I didn’t want to wait any longer. SysLinuxOS 13.2 is a substantial revision of how the system handles storage, backups, recovery, and boot. The release… Leggi tutto »SysLinuxOS 13.2 Revolution
