Porteus

Actually, might have 'cracked' the problem myself .... Looks like I can download slackware version of meld at v1.8.2 Then using usm, install pygtk .... which resolves to 3 packages (pycairo, pygobject & pygtk) ... meld then runs, albeit with some errors. Being lazy, have defined an alias for meld th...

Hi Anyone able to point me to a graphical difference module that I can install under a 64-bit XFCE porteus installation? I guess possible choices include meld, tkdiff, diffmerge, vimdiff, xxdiff, gtkdiff and kcompare ... however, not sure I'm meant to use kcompare under XFCE? Would I then need all o...

Have now had a chance to look at ... with success!! Thank you cttan ... links and downloads worked. In fact, I only needed wireshark-1.12.2-x86_64-2_slack.xzm and gtk+3-3.8.2-x86_64-2.xzm in the end to make wireshark work. (Note: Downloaded gtk module using usm). And also thank you to go2null ... un...

Many thanks cttan for such a quick and helpful response!

No time to try it today, but will post back whether it solved my problems when I do.

I feel very positive that it will do the job though!

Cheers John

Possibly there is an issue with the FireWall . I have a 64-bit XFCE build with changes active (i.e. Saving everything) If I turn on the FireWall under Porteus Settings Centre, this results in an edit to the file /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S-firewall.sh As one would expect, this then gets saved across a reboot ...

Have been struggling to get an appropriate set of files to install a set of modules to allow wireshark to run. I know there is some information on this site regarding wireshark and how people have done it in the past. But if anyone has created a 64-bit package for Wireshark (that includes the essent...

I now feel very embarrassed :oops: I had not realised that the grey screen actually contained icons that could be pushed. And I had not realised that the Left hand icon was the Windows icon + Right hand was Porteus. (Even more embarrassed!) Now that I select the Right Hand icon .... it correctly ent...

Many thanks to both cttan & brokenman for your replies. Tried both & unfortunately (surprisingly?) neither made any difference. Still have problems. Hopefully, if I give a few more details, further answers may be possible: I have 2 computers available at work (currently) that appear to have UEFI 'su...

Many thanks to both Slaxmax and brokenman !!

Have tested both suggestions ... both work

Very happy

Cheers

Is it possible to auto login as root in text mode?

Note: Used to work in Porteus v1.2 ... can't make it work in v3.1

Cheers John

Have done a lot of reading about booting Porteus with UEFI firmware … but unsure of the complete process that is required to create a bootable (from UEFI firmware) v3.1 Porteus USB Stick. An idiots guide would be really useful to me (and potentially others?) I am aware that there are videos, tutoria...

Continue to be grateful to all contributors to this post. Had a quick look at svnkit ... certainly looks interesting. However, another thing for me to learn, so going to stick where I am for the moment! Just in case it's of any interest to anyone, had to update the apr modules as well ... found that...

Thanks bigbass Just for reference (perhaps?) ... I have got SVN running now. Had to download a number of tgz files from slackfind.net ... picking the current Slackware set of files (is this allowed? Seemed to work!) In total, the modules I now have (to make SVN work) are: apr-util-1.3.4-i486-1.xzm a...

Hi Brokenman Many Thanks for a very quick reply. I'm struggling to find all the dependencies now though - perhaps you know where to find it quickly. subversion requires: - libaprutil-1.so.0 ... found that in same place as I did for subversion 1.6.16 (in apr-util-1.3.4-i486-1.tgz) - libapr-1.so.0 (sa...

I'd really appreciate someone who knows what they are doing building an xzm module for the latest version of subversion. Currently, I believe the latest version available for Porteus is v1.6.16 (I have looked through all the sources I am aware of) The latest shown on the Apache website is v1.7.6 If ...
