Porteus

Hi diannella.

Your posts relate to the kiosk version of Porteus which is supported in this area of the forum: Porteus Kiosk Edition. As such I have been moving your threads to it.

Interesting. Nobody knows.

Wow!! Thanks for the updates tom2238.

What the heck was the problem with the forum this morning? Problems signing on, problems with incomplete thread views.

:o Thank you donald . :beer: Extract the archive and run the flashplayer file. I extracted the .tar file but I don't know how to run it, or convert it to .xzm, tar2xzm doesn't work/exist. Then I found I could extract the flashplayer inside the .tar file and it does indeed run and plays the .swf file...

Apparently Opera, and Chrome, dropped support for .swf files on the hard drive a yr or 2 ago. To play them they need to be referenced in a webpage.

well, the thing is, it was already there ..but somehow invisible to cinnamon menu

My CP command didn't complain about overwriting a file with the same name.

Any suggestion on how to run .swf files?

now the question is: why?? why does cinnamon suddenly recognise the exact same opera.desktop? Cause now it's in /usr/share/applications/? i think, opera is based on chromium webengine nowdays, so pepperflash might work.. The pepperflash plugin does the trick. :good: But it doesn't show in Opera Ext...

Opera not recognizing the Flashplayer module Firefox is using!!

That worked ncmp . :good: Thank you. :beer: guest@porteus:~$ ls /mnt/memory/images/opera*.xzm/usr/share/applications/ /bin/ls: cannot access '/mnt/memory/images/opera*.xzm/usr/share/applications/': No such file or directory guest@porteus:~$ ls /mnt/memory/images/ /bin/ls: cannot access '/mnt/memory/...

Thanks, Ed_P. New version uploaded (same link) including browser.desktop

Downloaded the new module, activated, still no menu item.

:%) I don't see it in Jinnamon's Porteus menu. And its homepage is not Porteus's forum. guest@porteus:~$ opera [2976:2976:1011/163142.181693:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(369)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.

biotec earlier versions of Porteus would write the whole changes folder to the save.dat file, even if the changes folder was larger than the save.dat file which caused problems. Later versions, not sure when, got the ability to write only files in the changes folder that were new or updated to the ...

My bash-snippet was tested under Porteus and Windows7 with Cygwin What did I do wrong? guest@porteus:~$ su Password: root@porteus:/home/guest# ls /.bashrc /bin/ls: cannot access '/.bashrc': No such file or directory root@porteus:/home/guest# myip-lan() > { > if type nmcli 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then > D...

Minor question, the Windows 7 system doesn't require a signon, mount.cifs asks for a password regardless. I tried pass= and pass="" but neither worked. Suggestion. mount -t cifs //my.host/mydir -o user=,password= /mnt/samba https://www.thinkplexx.com/learn/howto/linux/system/mount-nfs-shares-with-s...
