n0ctilucient, yes I used to have that, it's Qt4. Luckily, the other thread of jssouza had an additional module qtscript-5.9.1-x86_64-1jss.xzm that made it complete for TeXstudio, and now everything works on Qt5.9.1

jssouza , Actually could I bother you with one last thing: TeXStudio from https://www.texstudio.org/ , please? I'm trying to install a Qt5 build of it, for example, I take an rpm from OpenSuse :texstudio-2.12.8-18.1.x86_64.rpm. Converting to xzm and activating it tells me # texstudio texstudio: err...

jssouza , Thank you those worked! I also managed to get the qpdfview-Qt5, will now try to get TeXStudio also Qt5, and that's all Qt-apps I'm using I think. Indeed I already had a python-2.7.11-x86_64-bundle.xzm in my modules folder. There's no conflict to roll one over the other I hope, but I'm goi...

jssouza , Thanks so much. Unfortunately, the new LyX 2.3 that I'm trying to install from an OpenSUSE rpm seems to be built against a newer Qt5: # lyx lyx: /usr/lib64/libQt5Core.so.5: version `Qt_5.10' not found (required by lyx) I wonder if you would ever find the time to build a Qt 5.10? n0ctiluci...

I'm on Porteus-v3.2.2 LXDE, which is great but I do need Qt5 on it too for a couple of apps. USM does find it but for many months it has given me "LIBS.TXT" error when I try to install Qt5 especially and all its dependencies. And so I thought maybe anyone had a recent Qt5 module, please? I'm expecti...

same reasons that justify save.dat I guess: symbolic links, linux permissions -- all features of an ext4 file system encapsulated in an NTFS file. Plus, I'm going to leave it on the host between sessions: content hidden from Windows search, perhaps even encrypted.

bravo! and so fast! You must be doing something smarter rather than chasing down dependencies one by one on pkgs.org?

How do I go about creating my own container image file, similar in spirit to porteus save.dat I guess, that I can mount and unmount and work with like a file system. I'd appreciate a guidance into the search results I'm getting: Docker, overlay fs, overlay2, aufs, etc. or simply doing what's describ...

I'd like to request for an up-to-date, stand-alone git module to exist outside 05-devel.xzm (it's a rather old version there too, 2.9). I've seen the git-core-2.15.1-1.2.x86_64.rpm and built an xzm module from it but of course is misses a lot of dependencies. USM does list git-2.14.1 but on a broken...

@Ed_P, there is a new version in the ESR channel http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/52.5.2esr/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-52.5.2esr.tar.bz2 Could you teach me how to make an xzm module from the bz2 file or the unpacked folder which is simply called 'firefox'. What I don't see is how it can b...

EDIT: even before mount /dev/nvme0n1p3 #ls -la /mnt total 5 drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 1024 Dec 1 17:22 ./ drwxr-xr-x 44 root root 1024 Nov 29 18:29 ../ drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 460 Dec 1 17:22 live/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Dec 1 17:22 nvme0n1p1/ drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 1024 Dec 1 17:22 nvme0n1p3/ drw...

so before mount /dev/nvme0n1p3 it was ======================= blkid output: /dev/sda1: UUID="ec4350f4-7860-4557-9b65-c780c9cb69f3" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="91f72d24-01" /dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/loop1: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/loop2: TYPE="squashfs" /dev/nvme0n1: PTUUID="52e6294f-ab19-4ec6-b0fd-8bfc...

Success! After mount /dev/nvme0n1p3 I can finally access (read-write) the host NTFS system with ls /mnt/nvme0n1p3 Was I supposed to mount it manually, and are there any parameters I need to supply to the mount command? Other than that, a big "Thank you!" and another reason to look forward to porteus...

Thanks, brokenman: have tried your porteus-4.0-x86_64-20171120.iso. I think there is a progress: I can now see /dev/nvme**** entries and two of them are mounted into /mnt/nvme**** However, those mounted appear to be empty with ls -la. So, I still can't see my host system disk. Perhaps I need to moun...

@wread Thank you so much! Your solution worked for me with the following adjustments: 1. it wouldn't run without FreeImage library. So altogether the following 4 modules were needed on my system cryptopp-5.6.5-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm db48-4.8.30-x86_64-2.xzm FreeImage-3.17.0-x86_64-bundle.xzm megafuse-x...
