Porteus

How to write a usb iso on USB using porteus? I already the common methods used on Linux but don't works! if you mean: use the USB like a cd, ie, use the whole drive read only.. porteus-5.0rc3(and the upcoming final) is a hybrid iso, so simply: eg. if your USB is sdb: (as root) BEWARE this will use ...

Some problems using history. not sure what you're trying to do .... note if you're after root's bash history, it's /root/.bash_history (or simply "history" as root) since history is a bash 'builtin' help history gives some usage info.. i edited the previous post with some corrected commands for cle...

And guest's history is hugh, for a freshly booted system, is there a command to delete old history? history -c && history -w should clear it.. EDIT: history -c clears the present shell history buffer and history -w writes that 'cleared' history to the .bash_history file... or maybe just cat /dev/nu...

5.0rc4?

no more RCs

:) .. very soon ..hopefully before the end of this month (I'm beginning to be disturbed by growing incompatibilities. Nowadays quickly getting a simple package like xdpyinfo through getpkg which used to give an oldish but immediately working module, produces a package that is ahead, complaining abou...

have you tried this one: Gimp 2.10.28 . photo retouching . image composition . painting ?

Got it from here the only thing about using the 'current' repo for rc3 is that openssl is now compiled against a newer glibc(2.35 : 2.33), which may(or may not) be a problem... that's why i suggested 15.0 patches.. so here: https://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware64-15.0/patches/packages/ also, you...

Can we update the openssl to 1.1.1n quite possibly.. should be able to use the packages from 15.0 patches ( should be compatible) i586: https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware-15.0/patches/packages/openssl-1.1.1n-i586-1_slack15.0.txz x86_64: https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackwa...

Also it would be grateful if you could tell me the advantage in having a dbus connection :) I couldn't find it it's mainly so that the mounted devices shown in the side panel of the root instance don't show extra 'nonesense' entries like 'pts', 'dev' etc.. and also in eg. in an editor spawned from ...

ok.. had another look at this.. not sure how to fix that with the pcmanfm actions approach.. but: there's the existing ~/.local/share/applications/pcmanfm-root.desktop file all that needs to be done is run: update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/ which will create: ~/.local/share/applic...

thanks, will be included in the next release, with one small difference: for there seems to be an advantage in having a dbus connection..

I'm trying to install nodejs. Using getpkg a nodejs-16.14.2-x86_64-1.xzm was built, but surprisingly it misses some libs: libuv, libicui18n.so.70 and who knows how many more. I wonder why getpkg didn't take care of dependencies for me. a couple of things: 1. getpkg is a simple script that simply se...

Porteus 5.0-rc3 CINNAMON and I haven't been able to set the clock so that it stays after reboot or shutdown. are you using the changes=/porteus cheatcode (the default /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg)? how are you setting the time? what is you hardware clock set to? (utc or localtime) i use the timezone=...

the bluetooth module ncmprhnsbl prepared for Porteus 5.0rc1 XFCE (viewtopic.php?t=8804) no longer works; yep, bluetoothctl is probly the best way.. but if you want blueman, one these packages from around the time rc3 was released: https://slackware.uk/cumulative/slackware64-current/slackware64/xap/...

for a slackware package: possibly needs some other pkgs: python-setuptools for one..
