Porteus

@jssouza , thanks for your LyX module it's been working great. They are now rolling out Lyx 2.3.1 https://www.lyx.org/Download . When/if you get a bit time could you update your module. Or else, teach me how you do this. If I'm capable of it at all, it felt like a quite sensitive process, getting t...

@ncmprhnsbl , @n0ctilucient , thanks: both polo and xfe work nice and seem like good alternatives. (Except, Polo has an annoying red banner warning about being root; xfe displays a message box about it each time it starts). Actually, pcmanfm-1.3.0 has been stable so far with the old libfm (with the...

I'm looking for alternatives or even to replace PCManFM 1.2.5 as a (default) FM for LXDE, because PCMan crashes/freezes for me on a daily basis. Even if it's a desktop system fault, and not of PCMan per se, I'm interested in what other FM are out there. I guess it'd have to play nicely with LXDE, wi...

Drag-n-drop from Firefox still doesn't work. Dragging a link from Firefox address bar, an image from a web page, etc, onto a folder of PCManFM or desktop fails without any message just bounces off. Dragging a link from Firefox address bar into an text file open in Leafpad actually works, adding a te...

ncmprhnsbl , thanks for the pdfshuffler-0.6.0+deps-x86_64.xzm. It works and crops! Which is remarkable given the time I've spent so far just trying to even install (prerequisites to) another python program, krop. It freezes often when I click too much on the GUI, so needs a fresh restart every now ...

What about using Acrobat with Wine? I've tried a couple of Acrobat portable solutions. Both kind of work until it comes to the inner dialogs where the GUI is useless maybe due to fonts/DPI incompatibility with my wine (wine-3.11-x86_64-1sg.xzm, 0050-compat32-multilib-ftw.xzm) https://image.ibb.co/f...

Could someone please help me make my Porteus snap-ready if possible? It's installable on linux https://docs.snapcraft.io/core/install , I hope it can be installed on porteus too. The software I've been trying to install, krop , which I need to crop my pdf pages, is offered as a snap . Otherwise I've...

Thank you, @fulalas , I'm now using the newer Wine from the link. It didn't resolve the issue with WinDjView -- possibly because it's not a proper 64-bit application after all. See the attached wine-windows-generated backtrace below. So, I still need the 0050-compat32-multilib-ftw.xzm and 32-bit Win...

WinDjView is the best at rendering djvu scanned books I've seen. One should be able to just install the windows version onto the Wine 3.5 . That works for SumatraPDF and other (64-bit) windows apps. WinDjView installer apparently does install a win64 binary. Unfortunately it crashes at startup, as i...

@jssouza, thank you, I've just followed your procedure and it worked! I guess this is how we build from source - good to know for future. I'll use the module by itself tomorrow and if it still works, this is solved!

I'm having a problem finding a compatible perl-tk for Porteus 4.0. I use TexLive GUI manager which required a "Perl/Tk module". In the past, getting the perl-tk from USM and activating the perl-tk-804.033-x86_64-2_slonly.xzm worked. Not anymore: # tlmgr -gui Event.c: loadable library and perl binari...

@jssouza, it's amazing how fast you can fix these things. Thank you, it works now with spellchecking! I had to activate additionally

I think it's worth making a separate thread for this. I'm looking for a LyX 2.3.0 built against Qt 5.9.5 of @jssouza (or for Qt 5.10 but then the Qt 5.10 itself is needed) with spell checking support. We have Lyx 2.3.0 thanks to @jssouza, which works on Qt 5.9.5, but, curiously, spell-checker seems ...

@fulalas , if there were indeed a user-friendly tool to prebuild a subset of Qt, I'd try to use it. For now, it's great to have your help. By the way, why not Qt 5.10? I'd like to try and convert one of https://opensuse.pkgs.org/tumbleweed/opensuse-oss/lyx-2.3.0-2.1.x86_64.rpm.html or https://archl...

@jssouza, Another way woud be to build lyx 2.3 with Qt 5.9.1. So, I compiled lyx 2.3 with qt 5.9.1 and it seems working. Please check. Actually, one important thing does not work: the spellchecker. Spellchecker preferences are disabled, grayed out. I have teh aspell, hunspell, enchant all installed ...
