[SOLVED] Sad for 5.01 released

[Jack]

My internet quit working the driver are to new for all of my Computers. If there is a fix for it?

[Ed_P]

Do your computers work with 5.0? 4.0?

Please post the results of these commands, which must be run in root mode.

lspci

lspci -k | grep driver

dmesg | grep firmware

Running the debug script shown here: Debug help for new users might help also.

I found out that in Always Fresh I have WiFi but in Graphics mode it is disabled. I'm using Mate.

[Ed_P]

Good to know. That implies one of your cheatcodes or modules is the problem. You will need to test deleting them one by one to see which one is causing the problem.

[Jack]

This is I think is the problem one on the left is the new Porteus v5.01 the one on the right is Porteus v5.0 the old version. Hope this help and try to fix it but I couldn't.

[Ed_P]

Well, the one on the left is right and why always fresh mode works for you. The one on the right is wrong and must be coming from your saved changes. Change it to the correct settings or delete your saved changes.

Then again, maybe neither are right. This is my Porteus 5.01 Cinnamon's changes Properties:

[Jack]

Now find away to change Owner and Group to Root.

[Ed_P]

I would open a terminal window, signon as root, right click on the changes file, set the Properties.

The question is, what changed them.

[Jack]

How do I set the Properties because I never have did that before.

Code: Select all

total 28
drwx------  2 root root 4096 Nov 28 13:41 base/
drwx------ 14 root root 4096 Nov 28 13:44 changes/
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1015 Apr 29  2018 make_iso.sh
drwx------  2 root root 4096 Nov 28 13:41 modules/
drwx------  2 root root 4096 Apr 29  2018 optional/
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  681 Apr 29  2018 porteus-v4.0-x86_64.cfg
drwx------  2 root root 4096 Apr 29  2018 rootcopy/

What do you want to change? The owner or the properties?
One is chown (change owner) and the other chmod (change file mode bits)
Use man chown and man chmod or chown --help and chmod --help to get an overview.

Example
Change to root, change owner to root.root (group root, owner root) of file example.txt:

Code: Select all

su -
[root password]
ls -l example.txt # list the file prior the changes
chown root.root example.txt # set the owner to root (1st root) and group to root (2nd root after the dot) of file example.txt
ls -l example.txt # list the file after the changes

and this is changing via chmod, using the rwx notation, often octal is easier but people new to the file mode bits are sometimes confused with octal mode.

Let us presume you are already logged in as root.

Code: Select all

root@rava:~# cd /tmp/
root@rava:/tmp# touch example.txt
root@rava:/tmp# ls -l example.txt 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2023-11-29 13:16 example.txt
root@rava:/tmp# chmod a+w example.txt 
root@rava:/tmp# ls -l example.txt 
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 2023-11-29 13:16 example.txt
root@rava:/tmp# 

Added in 2 minutes 35 seconds:
Read man chmod to understand what chmod a+w filename means.

He needs to change the Owner and Group Permissions of the changes folder to root. See the images above. Not a file.

What does the Permissions window look like for your changes folder Rava?

[Jack]

Thanks everyone for your help but I change porteus to this and here is the output.

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ cd /mnt/sdb1/porteus
guest@porteus:/mnt/sdb1/porteus$ ls -l
total 32
drwxr-xr-x  2 guest users 4096 Nov 28 14:33 base/
drwxr-xr-x 15 guest users 4096 Aug 12 22:25 changes/
-rw-r--r--  1 guest users 1015 Aug 12 22:25 make_iso.sh
drwxr-xr-x  2 guest users 4096 Nov 28 14:33 modules/
drwxr-xr-x  2 guest users 4096 Aug 14 02:22 optional/
-rw-r--r--  1 guest users  716 Nov 28 12:02 porteus-v5.0-x86_64.cfg
drwxr-xr-x  2 guest users 4096 Aug 12 22:25 rootcopy/
drwxr-xr-x  6 guest users 4096 Nov 27 18:11 temp/
guest@porteus:/mnt/sdb1/porteus$ 

I'm backup and running. I still don't know what happen.

I don't use a changes folder.

And changing permissions of files or folders are the same. You either use chmod or chown, just the target as either a file (or files) or a folder (or folders) or even both.
But the calling of chmod or chown is no difference when you use it on a folder as compared to using it on a file.
Especially when using chown.
