Porteus

Here is his list that wasn't in mind. "his" being me (jss), I thought I had to answer. It is slightly complicated, but I think still doable. Jack , from your package list you are taking Willy Sudiarto Raharjo's packages (who maintains msb). Now, here is the problem: Willy Sudiarto Raharjo's package...

It also takes away with the whole portability idea. I mean, we say install porteus on a USB drive that you carry in your pocket, which you can boot your customized OS on any computer. That's not really true is it. You can boot it only from your computers where you have disabled secure boot. But outs...

Ed_P, I have this computer that has a a feature called secure boot, that I have enabled. And oh it runs Porteus with this feauture enabled.

Do you have a secure boot enabled computer Ed_P? Oh, and does it run Porteus?

So basically you don't boot to Ubuntu you boot to grub. Interesting.

Isn't it? I thought this might be easier, because one does not need to go into the bios, and turn off secure boot. One step lesser, hence easier.

It would be nice to figure out how the Ubuntu system supports the Secure Boot option so Porteus can do it also.

You need to sign the grub bootloader. Ubuntu does it with Canonical's signature, fedora with red hat's

Unclear to me. Are you referring to the /EFI/boot/ folder? Can you post an ls of the boot folder? EFI and boot are seperate directories guest@porteus:~$ ls -Ral /mnt/sdc1/EFI/ /mnt/sdc1/EFI/: total 12 drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4096 Aug 23 11:30 ./ drwxrwxrwx 13 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 ../ drwxrwxrwx...

So the USB's EFI & boot folders end up containing both Ubuntu and Porteus files? No, the EFI and boot folders are only that of ubuntu. I put the porteus kernel and initrd in this boot folder. And copy the porteus folder onto the USB. Then I add an entry (or multiple entries) in the boot/grub/grub.c...

There's a kind of workaround that I use without disabling secureboot. First flash ubuntu (or fedora) on the thumb drive. Just the live usb. Ubuntu does not need secure boot to be disabled. Now nuke all traces of ubuntu from the usb except the EFI and boot. Now copy porteus folders on the USB and edi...

here was Floyd. There was Queen, and there was Frank Zappa. Absolute musical genius. Not for everyone, but no denying the musical prowess.

Thanks guys. It's been a while so have forgotten why I requested francois for the translation in the first place. I thik it is just the first two lines of the song that has the French, but I remember, from some websites that I read at that time, that it is grammatically incorrect (in French), but st...

JeWe , rc.local is executed as root at the end of bootup, so it is probably not a permission issue. However, during boot up, the PATH is not set (since root user has not yet logged in). Hence you need to call the mount.cifs command using the full path, that is: /sbin/mount.cifs Some other things: 1...

Thanks neko

kihlstedt , but after reboot the daemon doesn´t start automatically. You need to save the /etc/rc.d/ rc.vnstat as executable in your persistence, so that it survives a reboot. guest@porteus:~$ /etc/rc.d/rc.vnstat start Starting the vnstat daemon... Error: pidfile: Permission denied You need to run ...

There is a version for KDE : VLC 3.0.2 for Porteus 4.0 KDE vlc-3.0.2-x86_64-kde-jss.xzm (14MB) Size only 14 MB ! It should be possible also for Xfce to create such a module ?? Can anyone help? thank you Kulle , you can try activating qt5-base-5.9.5-x86_64-jss.xzm from Qt 5.9.5 for Porteus 4.0 along...

Blaze, did you check ifconfig -a from the terminal to see if there is an interface? Also check on porteus current cinnamon.
