Porteus

In fact, this version works.
Many Thanks
This means:

Hi ncmprhnsbl,

porteus 4.0 xfce: viper appimage works for me no problem..

How can that be?
I tried it in 'always fresh' mode, but the same error!

My system:
Porteus-v4.0
Kernel: 4.16.3-porteus

What can I still do?
Because other appimages have in my system similar errors

I have opened the appimage file with P7ZIP. The library files are present in the appimages: guest@porteus:~/Downloads/usr/lib$ ls libQt* libQt5Concurrent.so.5 libQt5PrintSupport.so.5 libQt5WebChannel.so.5 libQt5Core.so.5 libQt5Qml.so.5 libQt5WebEngineCore.so.5 libQt5DBus.so.5 libQt5Quick.so.5 libQt5...

Many appimages do not work after the dependencies have been added. E.g. ViperBrowser guest@porteus:/home$ ./Viper_Browser-eec5d9f-x86_64.AppImage /tmp/.mount_Viper_bwmSST/usr/libexec/QtWebEngineProcess: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Gui.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such fil...

usm sometimes does not work! Then slackyd is possibly an alternative. For example: chromium-74 via usm failed: root@porteus:/home/guest# usm -s chromium chromium-53.0.2785.143-x86_64-1_slonly.txz was found in slackonly [downgrade] chromium-bsu-0.9.16.1-x86_64-1ponce.txz was found in ponce [not insta...

Hi wread,
for Porteus 4.0 Xfce:
It is still necessary
gstreamer-1.6.4-x86_64-1.xzm
gst-plugins-base-1.6.4-x86_64-bundle.xzm

Then google-earth-pro works

Hi wread,
i am using 4.0 Xfce
Run in terminal:

Hi francois,
elaborate and complicated (a task only for the experts!),
but very desirable for Porteus 5.0

Python errors occur again and again, for example: /tmp/usm/miro-6.0-x86_64-bundle.xzm is ready. root@porteus:/home/guest# miro using /usr/bin/miro.real Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/miro.real", line 46, in <module> import glib File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/glib/__init_...

Hi francois, I downloaded from https://packages.debian.org: snapd_2.21-2 + b1_amd64.deb Then deb2xzm and run: root@porteus:/home/guest# snap find chromium error: cannot list snaps: cannot communicate with server: Get http://localhost/v2/find?q=chromium: dial unix /run/snapd-snap.socket: connect: no ...

But skypeforlinux-8.34.0.78-x86_64-1_SBo.xzm does not work: The icon appears in the panel for half a second and disappears again. That's all. But skypeforlinux-8.40.76.71-x86_64-1dj.xzm works.

Thank you Donald, Why message "Please activate 05_devel ..." why not message "run the command as root" ??
