In mate 32bit fresh mode I loaded only the following modules: fftw, lcms2 and imagemagick
I then copied only the file /usr/bin/cpp from the package: gcc-4.8.2-i486-1

Now you need to logout and log back in and it works.
So it is a DE/X Interface Issue after all?

                      It is interesting to note that the Init 4 effected a reset, not affected by subsequent procedures. Implication being that after 1st Init 4, a procedure has unset something which it has not reset?

                    What is "SysRq REISUB"? On occasion when I boot Porteus it goes to a white screen and I turn the netbook off and back on to get out of it. I assumed corrupted storage somewhere since powering off and on allows the system to reboot normally. But off and on is a brutal way to fix pc problems so your way sounds better. I just don't know how to do it. :(

                    It is indeed and is also the cause of many a data corruption. REISUB is a way to back out of a freeze one step at a time until your system either becomes usable or reboots graciously. I suggest thinking of an acronym to remember the order of keystrokes. You may also use REISUO (from memory) which will shutdown without rebooting.

                    Hi!

                    In the Wishlist for porteus 3.1 I have suggested to move the /boot directory under the /porteus directory, but it doesn't happen until RC2, so I did days of research and found the solution. I post the steps and patches here. Please add it to the comming Porteus 3.1.

                    After the /boot directory is moved under the /porteus directory, syslinux must be able to find its files. A list of search directories is hardcoded in the syslinux source code, so the new directory (/porteus/boot/syslinux) must be added to the list. The following patch does this. This patch should be applied to syslinux 4.06, which is also used in Porteus 3.1 RC2.

                    will upload new LXQt module tonight for testing. the changes i have made are affecting activation/deactivation of modules (only in LXQt) so would be good if users could play with modules and let me know in case of any system misbehavior.

                    @dafan
                    we have dropped 'one folder for everything' idea since we found that UEFI support requires placing additional /EFI directory in the top root of the drive/partition. as far as i know there is no way to workaround that.
                    that means 64bit 3.1 release will have by default 3 folders:

                    Code: Select all

                    /EFI
                    /boot
                    /porteus
                    sorry about that.

                    I know there will be a UEFI directory (but only in 64bit version). For the people, who do not have or do not want a UEFI booting, this directory can simply be deleted. At least there will be one directory less. For the people who also storage data on a Porteus USB stick, it is really a mix-up to have so many subdirectories.

                    you could also mode /porteus directory to /boot and use 'from=boot' cheatcode.
                    would be much easier then syslinux recompilation (how to produce binary which works for windows?).

                                      I right clicked on the desktop and choose the option to have menu display on future desktop right clicks. Ok, tried it, don't like it, how the heck do I turn it off??
