Porteus

Hi ncmprhnsbl,
indeed, installing gsettings-desktop-schemas fixes it.
Thank you.

Hi, If I run opera, menu, settings then crash: guest@porteus:~$ opera [4211:4211:0320/074216.958308:ERROR:x11_input_method_context_impl_gtk.cc(144)] Not implemented reached in virtual void libgtkui::X11InputMethodContextImplGtk::SetSurroundingText(const base::string16 &, const gfx::Range &) LaunchPr...

What exactly are these 4 modules needed for?

If I used libreoffice6.1 without Java-Runtime-environment (!),
that's how it works anyway.
For the Test I created and printed a document.
So far I used Abiword. I use LibreOffice for the first time.
What is Java Runtime Environment required for?

Hi apollo, I have downloaded libreoffice_6.1.0.3_x86-64.xzm from https://porteus.rw-net.de/x86_64/modules/ I have activated Java Runtime Environment: jre-8u201-linux-x64.xzm and activated libreoffice_6.1.0.3_x86-64.xzm Run in terminal: guest@porteus:~$ libreoffice6.1 javaldx: Could not find a Java R...

The app store for Linux: https://snapcraft.io/store And if the distro supports snaps you can install program xyz from the snap store with a single command: snap install xyz Very easy and optimal for normal users !! tome used snapd from Manjaro repo: snap (snapd) But snapd is also available for debia...

Hi ncmprhnsbl,
thank you.
odio is ok, it works.

Hi ncmprhnsbl,
the menu is there,
but if I click on oldies: nothing.
when I click Country: nothing, no sound.
What else can I do?

Hi Francois,
I have created click-radio_0.2.6_amd64.xzm (Download from linux-apps.com)
and yad-0.40.0-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm (via usm)
and both activated.
Run in terminal: setup created and killed !!!
Why killed?

Thank you Donald, I merged the 3 modules and adjusted the script. But midori-0.5.11 is an old version with security breachs. See here: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Midori/ The development of Midori stalled around 2015 and resumed in the last quarter of 2018. The current version is a tar.gz file: http...

Thank you, Donald. Hi Ed_P : A lot of programs are only rarely used, e.g. video editing programs, photo editing programs, some browsers (e.g., Dillo), etc., etc. I do not store these programs in the Porteus/modules folder. I only activate a rarely used program if I want to use it. That's why I wrote...

Midori is an interesting browser. I use it occasionally. But it is very inconvenient: you have to activate 3 modules. That's why: I have created a folder midori_browser. In this folder I have copied everything that is needed: the three xzm modules, the configuration and a script: #!/bin/bash echo gu...

Many Thanks.
With the two additional modules, midori is now working for me.
But this example shows how difficult (!) it is sometimes
to create additional software in Porteus.

Thank you Donald, but midori-0.5.11-x86_64-xfce-don.xzm does not work: guest@porteus:~$ midori The configuration couldn't be loaded: No such file or directory Midori can't find the page you're looking for The page located at “www.salixos.org” cannot be found.
