pman: is it working or is it me?

Post#1 by **francois** » 05 Oct 2015, 02:07

I have installed nemesis on my hdd thru vbox as a guest. Here is the message that I get once the setup-pman has been done and when I try pman:

Code: Select all

pman -S neworkmanager network-manager-applet

A fatal error occured.
/usr/local/bin/pman
LINE: 258
no modules config file found

pacman -S will work just fine.

Thanks.

It is complaining that no modules file was found at: /mnt/sdXy/config/modules

Can you confirm it is there? Is the partition mounted?

Post#3 by **francois** » 05 Oct 2015, 02:52

There is none /mnt/sda1/config, neither there is /config.

Then something is wrong. How did you acquire the files? Using git or downloading the tarball?

I suggest you use git. This way you can pull updates as they are made. Go to the 'maintainers section' here and follow the directions.
Install git first through usm.

I used git. Should I refresh git?

Ok. I got the answer from the other thread. I have used folder to place nemesis in it :/64bit_v31. And you said you would modify the git accordingly.

Thanks.

Edit:
pman working fine for me.

Yes, I have updated git so you can go into the git folder and run: git pull
Please test if pman works from a subfolder install.

I just realized how much I have forgotten about how 'dialog' works. I learned gtkdialog and forgot all about dialog, now it is like learning again. Trying to convert all scripts to a prettier dialog UI.

Done subfolder function works just fine.

Thanks.

setup-pman
After that: pman -S firefox
Return: you need to setup keys ...

Are you using the latest version released yesterday?

Post#12 by **normalGuy** » 16 Nov 2015, 14:29

version: porteus-nemesis-v3.2-x86_64.iso
date: 15 Nov 2015

Can you please post the exact output. setup-pman is the script that 'sets up' the keys. It should also run pacman-db-upgrade just to be sure.

Sorry about that, Its solved:
Setup-pman //pman -S firefox :"it seems that you did not set yor secure keys"
Keyboard config: 105 and I need to use 101 generic pc.

All it's working: ethernet, wifi, sound, video, menus...
Firefox was built ok and is running. I will try new stuff in the next days...
Great work, thanks for your time.
