Porteus

I'm trying to use Unetbootin to create a linux mint live usb. I've done this in the past successfully with porteus but now I'm running into issues. When I run unetbootin it copies the iso files over to the usb and finishes the start up file installation in under 1 second. This seemed odd to me it wo...

After changing the task bar position from top to the left side of your screen it becomes inactive and none of the menu items work. A reset will cause it to work again. This happens anytime you change the task bar position.

NVM , would help if I would turn my 32bit libraries back on.

I'm trying to run unetbootin 494 but when I click it open nothing happens. I have ran this program from porteus before with no problems. I haven't made any changes to my install since then. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
S.O.S.

But it's legal this time lol

Thanks , for the help. It was a firewall issue. The library blocks bit torrents. Worked fine with my slow old home internet service

Update *

I downloaded the 32compat lib directly from USM. This one came with mesa and all of the proper files. Looks like steam is working fine now.

I get this error "OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering" when I open steam. I can't load any games because it seems steam can't find my open gl drivers. I installed the 32bit lib for steam and I downloaded the driver file for intel but it comes with drivers for so many different OS's I'm ...

Aye , count me in. I have like 20 different thumb drives. I used Porteus to restore my HDD by nuking it. However I only use Windows to play one game other than that I'm on Linux.

Every client I have tried to download bit torrents sticks at connecting to peers. I've played with the settings and nothing works. Anyone have experience with torrents can help me out thanks.

When the hard drive on my laptop broke. I was looking for an OS I could run off one of my many spare thumb drives. I tried dozens of different linux builds. I eventually settled with Mint but got tired of it freezing constantly. Porteus was the solution for my problem. It was very light weight , eas...

I downloaded the latest wine module and play on linux but they are not working. When I click either a window pops up for for less than a second and nothing happens. I'm using the mate desktop.

The old thread for play on linux and wine has broken links and looks like it hasn't been updated in a while. I would love to play some of my windows only games on Porteus.

Thanks

In the console type: su
Then type in the password (toor) and you are now root. Installation operation should be done as root. Hope that helps.

Man I totally missed this post. Going to try this thanks. #can'tread

SUCCESS !

Thanks

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ /sbin/sfdisk

Usage:
 sfdisk [options] <device> [...]

That seems to have found it but why can't the executable in the boot folder seem to find it. Can you post the full command line you used to make it work.

Thanks
