Run activated module not in menu (Solved)

Post#1 by Sagittarius » 01 Sep 2013, 19:39

I'm presently using Porteus lxde 2.1 booting from a grub menu.lst on hd. Basically, I use Porteus for just word processing and the internet, but having used the package manager to download aria2 plus dependencies which I placed in the /mnt/sda1/porteus/porteus/modules folder I was surprised to find they didn't load on startup. I moved them to the /optional folder with the extramod= cheatcode and they now load on the startup screen (they're activated in PPM) but I can't find the program in the menu. How can I run it?

What's wrong here?

root@porteus:~# aria2
-su: aria2: command not found

you should try 'aria2c' command.

if you still find to not have it then please post output of following commands:

Code: Select all

cat /proc/cmdline
cat /var/log/porteus-livedbg
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
