from memory, it should in KDE settings> Application Style somewhere... look for 'Window Decorations'
for the taskbar checkout "Workspace Appearance"
otherwise keep poking around because KDE has a setting for pretty much everything...

It worked normally. The whole apps body got customised and the ugliness is gone.
I finished the long and hard job, but unfortunately I was unable to install MySQL Workbench, Nautilus, PHP 7.1.2 and npm and the libraries gcc, g++, make, git. Too bad.
Here is the final screenshot:

You were right. I did a stupid thing. I shouldn't use the magic folders.
I was warned if I wanted to mount the dat. I said no. Then I couldn't login. I rebooted and I said yes. The same thing happens.
I moved the folders.cfg to the other place. But the same thing still happened.
Is there how to fix it?
Do I have to reformat?!

I discovered. There were two different changes (duplicates), I had to removed the old and maintain the new.

these are in the development module, which can be had from here: http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/port ... -devel.xzm
or from another mirror : http://porteus.org/porteus-mirrors.txt
this can placed in the /modules folder to loaded at boot or /option(or any where you like) and 'activated' after boot via filemanager rightclick menu>activate

Hello, I did it and it worked. And npm? I installed npm.xzm and I tried to command the npm and it didn't run.ncmprhnsbl wrote: ↑30 Jul 2017, 08:49these are in the development module, which can be had from here: http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/port ... -devel.xzm

I tested my external HD on my sister's laptop (with Windows) and on my laptop (with Manjaro), and I selected my external HD, and nothing worked or it didn't boot or start itself. Any solution? I can't remove EFI because I want my external HD with Porteus to run on any PCs and also on any Mac, so I read Porteus is designed to run from an USB or an external HD on any PCs anywhere.

I tested my external HD on a virtual box, it seems that it is the problem of rEFInd or EFI.

looks like npm needs node or node.js.. node.js is available in slackware and includes npm afaics..gusbemacbe wrote: ↑31 Jul 2017, 00:08And npm? I installed npm.xzm and I tried to command the npm and it didn't run.
(going out on a limb) i'm guessing that the other PCs are not EFI bios, in which case, i think, you would need to make your HD (oldstyle bios)bootable.gusbemacbe wrote: ↑31 Jul 2017, 00:08Any solution?

you should be able to this via porteus on your mac..
do as root:
Code: Select all
# cd /mnt/sdX0/boot/ (where X0 is your HD partition letter & number)
# ./Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com
(confirm its the correct drive/partition, done)
note: i haven't ever done this myself
hopefully someone with this experience can tell us if this is safe

Unofrtunately it didn't work. :-/
Plus, Porteus can't read the disk with format ExFat. (*)
(*) I partitioned my external HD, one FAT partition for Porteus and another ExFat for mine, because the FAT partition doesn't allow me to copy files larger than 4GB.
I installed exfat and exfat-fuse, it gave errors:
Code: Select all
root@porteus:/mnt/sdb2/boot# ./Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

hmm.. these are well outside my areas of experience.. a search of the forum leads to this http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=145
which might worth a try..
exfat should be mountable... what type of partition table are you using? (MBR,GPT etc)
