Porteus

Hello ruriha click the icon with the 3 lines on it in the top left corner - or right-click somewhere in the panel - and click "unlock widges". Now you should have a new icon in the bottom right corner next to the clock. Click it and a "tool bar" will appear, move the mouse pointer onto the "height" ...

This looks Ok....it didn't boot to the porteus splash screen? Hmm... --> which currently boot in BIOS mode.<-- Could it be that this does not work the same way as a real BIOS machine? Try to install Porteus as described in USB_INSTALLATION.txt for EFI systems. As a last resort - for testing purposes...

That's weird..

any error messages?
maybe i should have written:
mount -o loop /Path/to/Porteus.iso /mnt/iso

you are trying to boot BIOS machines - sure?
Is the usb drive set to be the 1st boot device?
(in BIOS or (whichever) key to pop up the boot menu.)

my usb thumb drive has the boot flag

--> partition mount point: /run/media/...<-- fails sometimes, also better to use su not sudo. umount /dev/sdXN (the usb drive you want porteus installed onto) mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdXN (optional, if not already done) mkdir /mnt/iso mkdir /mnt/usb mount -o loop /Path/to/Porteus.iso /mnt/iso mount /dev/sdXN...

...including NVIDIA driver....

Just to make it clear.
nvidiafb is a framebuffer driver inside the Linux Kernel.
It is not the proprietary module from nvidia. (nvidia.ko).

Sadly finale Version seems to be 4.16.3.... Will we get Nvidia drivers for that soon? nvidia-304.137-kernel 4.16.3-x86_64 (built without the 32-bit libraries.) http://filehorst.de/d/cjsidhnG quick enough? :) The File is on a german hosting service so please do as follows to get it.

Normally = Linux. ;) The cd driver in linux reads the toc, lead in and lead out (and some sub channels) and provide the beginning and end of each track which you will see as Files in a file manager. btw I also prefer audio CDs (though many of the newer ones are really bad mastered) I own a so called...

@fulalas It's a good question with a simple answer: CDA files are a Windows thing. CDA files are created by the Windows CD driver and are not actually on the CD. CDA files contain no music, they only point to where the music is located on the CD. Normally the disc's Table Of Contents (TOC) provides ...

/etc/usm/usm.conf
remove salix at line 27
DISTROS="slackware slackwarepatches slacky salix alien ponce slackonly"
usm -u all will ignore salix then but you can still update salix manually
with usm -u salix

Congrats..

I hope we stay at kernel 4.16.2

@ Rava Before you ask... ;) Nvidia 304.137 kernel 4.16.2-x86_64 ( porteus-4.0-x86_64-20180415.iso ) http://filehorst.de/d/cfFmfifj as usual..

I presume cd-diskid is part of Porteus?

Nope, but cd-discid is available from slackonly via USM (~ 16 kB)

To get the (CD) disc-id one can use cd-discid
The output of cd-discid:
8HexDigitID NumberOfTracks Track1StartFrame Track2StartFrame..TrackNStartFrame DiscLengthInSeconds
you need only the 8HexDigitID to query it at
http://www.freedb.org/freedb_discid_check.php

On my system, sudo asks for the guest password
echo guest (or whatever the current password is)
