I'm not running a vbox. Also see my update to the posting above yours.
I was referring to me. In a rush I generated all cache files by booting into a virtual environment and SCPing the files out again. Shortcut because I was pressed for time. For final I will spend 2 days testing everything so as to avoid new features like a file manager that doesn't open. :wall:

Updated on server. Only fixed problem with nemo. I also experienced a problem whereby an opera module activated in cinnamon didn't show up in the menu. This problem is getting under my skin.

EDIT: When using su from guest, please do: su -
This will allow you to run gui apps as root.

Off to another time zone now.
How do i become super user?
Wear your underpants on the outside and put on a cape.

:unknown: ?? I wasn't using su from guest, I used it from root to get to guest.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# su guest
guest@porteus:/root$ cd
guest@porteus:~$ nemo
and why would I want to run gui apps as root? :unknown:

Anyways, enjoy your vacation. We'll be here when you get back. (a scary thought but true.)

BTW, bleachbit and mousepad does not run at Porteus-v3.2rc4 x86_64 Cinnamon (probably, it's a glitch of the current session)

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# bleachbit
Bus error
root@porteus:~# 

I had a problem getting bleachbit to run on kde x64 and installing pygtk fixed it for me. Though I believe the error was slightly different than yours. Doubt it will help you, but thought I'd mention.

The 7/3 Cinnamon 64bit ISO does have a working nemo. :good:

The broadcom wifi driver works. :good:

And I am posting from rc4. :)

The guest logon still loops when using a savedat file. :(

Cinnamon 64-bit ISO boot

Ok, last chance for the logon problem.

Created a new save.dat file using AF mode with just the logon=guest option.

Booted with the changes=EXIT option pointing to the new save.dat file, and the logon=guest option. No Logon screen.

Changed Time 24 clock to off in Date Time preferences.

Shutdown saving changes to the save.dat file.

Rebooted with the changes=EXIT pointing to the new updated save.dat file, and the logon=guest option. Logon screen for guest pops up.

Entered the guest password, there is a wait and then the Logon screen is back. This repeats unless I change the signon to root.

I don't want to be logged on as root. Any changes I make will be made as root, even to /home/guest/.

I'll stay with 3.0 a while longer. Hopefully this gets fixed before the final release.

-update-

EDIT:
Mate rc3 x86_64

I try to open a ISO file with Engrampa 1.14.0 and I got a error and the error was "An error occurred while loading the archive." Can some verify that?
That error was fix in rc4.

I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

    Here a Slackware Package has been made, however imo a module could have been made with deb2xzm.
After activation of module, there are two identical opera entries to be found in the menu. Clicking on either brings up the opera terms of use dialog, after which one is informed that opera has died. However just opting to restart with all tabs and extensions seems to work!

Re: Porteus-v3.2rc4 bug reports

Post#26 by Blaze » 05 Jul 2016, 17:54

I have suggesions.

1. For nemo, caja (don't test it), dolphin (don't test it) I wrote a simple bash script and pasted it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local (probably, it's not good patch and brokenman will put it in other script)

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/rc.local:  Local system initialization script.
#
# Put any local startup commands in here.  Also, if you have
# anything that needs to be run at shutdown time you can
# make an /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown script and put those
# commands in there.

#modifies /etc/fstab to add 'comment=x-gvfs-show' to all devices.
#This allows the devices to show up in the nemo, caja, pcmanfm, thunar and dolphin left
#panes under udisks2
sed -i 's/async/comment=x-gvfs-show,async/' /etc/fstab
Image
Look at the left column > Devices (tab) - it give easy navigation by your partitions.

If you want to test it, you can run this command

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/async/comment=x-gvfs-show,async/' /etc/fstab
If you want this ability, add this line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Please, report about show your partitions at the left column of your desktop environment.

2. For nemo and caja, need to add automount option
Image

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.media-handling automount true
I download iso of Porteus-CINNAMON-v3.2rc4-x86_64.iso with fix nemo.

My report about Cinnamon x86_64

1. PulseAudio in Cinnamon RC4 does not play sound and I don't see a sound applet in the tray at the right corner - a new report here.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] module-console-kit.c: GetSessionsForUnixUser() call failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit was not provided by any .service files
E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-console-kit" (argument: ""): initialization failed.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Module load failed.
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.
I fixed it =) I open /etc/pulse/default.pa

find

Code: Select all

### If autoexit on idle is enabled we want to make sure we only quit
### when no local session needs us anymore.
.ifexists module-console-kit.so
load-module module-console-kit
.endif
.ifexists module-systemd-login.so
load-module module-systemd-login
.endif
replace with

Code: Select all

### If autoexit on idle is enabled we want to make sure we only quit
### when no local session needs us anymore.
#.ifexists module-console-kit.so
#load-module module-console-kit
#.endif
#.ifexists module-systemd-login.so
#load-module module-systemd-login
#.endif
after this i recived this error

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# pulseaudio
E: [pulseaudio] bluez5-util.c: GetManagedObjects() failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files
and I continued to fix it, because I don't have bluetooth devices on my PC :)

find

Code: Select all

### Automatically load driver modules for Bluetooth hardware
.ifexists module-bluetooth-policy.so
load-module module-bluetooth-policy
.endif

.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so
load-module module-bluetooth-discover
.endif
replace with

Code: Select all

### Automatically load driver modules for Bluetooth hardware
#.ifexists module-bluetooth-policy.so
#load-module module-bluetooth-policy
#.endif

#.ifexists module-bluetooth-discover.so
#load-module module-bluetooth-discover
#.endif
Image
after need to reboot Porteus, open pulseaudio applet and select Line Out Built-in Audio.

2. audacious is run, but have this error

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/usr/bin# ./audacious
ERROR plugin-load.cc:72 [plugin_load]: /usr/lib64/audacious/Input/ffaudio.so could not be loaded: libavcodec.so.56: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
3. bleachbit is run, but have missing __init__.py

Code: Select all

# ./bleachbit
/usr/share/bleachbit/Unix.py:45: ImportWarning: Not importing directory '/usr/share/gnome': missing __init__.py
  import gnome.vfs
4. I can't convert deb2xzm, txz2xzm, rpm2xzm at context menu of Cinnamon - solved here

5. Without my module nemo-data_3.0.3-1_all.xzm I have these missing icons
Image
I informed about it not once, but UFO is stole them again :o

Cinnamon 64 bit

Post#28 by Bogomips » 06 Jul 2016, 00:15

Menu

Activating a module in Cinnamon thru CLI as Superuser results in duplicated entries being added to the menu.

VLC

Same issue as in rc3. Closing vlc results in crashing Cinnamon. So far no clean recovery option found other than reboot.

Sound

Not any more issues than had in rc3. When Cinnamon comes up Ithe sound applet is on the taskbar at the right. When playing a video it changes into a musical note.

Now since preferring to fine tune the sound, have this in guiexec script:

Code: Select all

# Fix the Sound Parameters            23.03.2016 13:24:30
sudo alsactl -f /mnt/sda9/Hold/day.state restore
sudo cp /mnt/sda4/changes/var/lib/alsa/asound.state /var/lib/alsa/
Setting initial sound and backup sound. Now I'm not sure whether having this could have normalised the sound or not.

Also there seem to be times when the sound is monopolised by some program or other, and this am able to check with

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# alsactl restore
alsactl: set_control:1461: Cannot write control '2:0:0:Independent HP:0' : Device or resource busy
If there is no obvious culprit, can normally clear this by restarting the browser (PaleMoon). Cleared:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# alsactl restore
root@porteus:/home/guest# alsactl restore
No exception noted.

There is sound with flash, and after closing tab of browser where flash used, can run gnome-mplayer or vlc. In order to ensure gnome-mplayer does not freeze during sound adjustment, have also in the guiexec script:

Code: Select all

# Gnome-Mplayer:    Initialise Audio Output            04.05.2016 21:31:07
sed -i '/au.*me=/s/=.*/=HDA NVidia (VT1708BCE Analog) (alsa)/' .config/gnome-mplayer/gnome-mplayer.conf
VT1708BCE Analog to be replaced by that of relevant nvidia card.

Echoing bour59, xfce is missing many icons (a few old icons are visible) -- but this is the first version that otherwise seems to work on my Kangaroo (Intel X5-Z8500)! Looking forward to its development -- or will it be replaced by rc5?

icons fine in 64bit xfce..
maybe related to bad caches in 32bit?
try running (as root)cache-module
