Porteus

Do you guys think it is worth converting to zstd?

@Ed_P don't do that. You uncommented slackware-13.37 which was even before slackware-14. Find another current mirror. @nanZor you can invoke a su GUI by using pkexec. Even better use our own script. /opt/porteus-scripts/org/psu /usr/bin/gparted (psu is porteus su) Please be aware that the kernel and...

Team Porteus is mirthful to announce the immediate availability of Porteus-v5.0 final in SEVEN desktop flavours. This is the first version update since following slackware-current and we will release the final once Slackware moves to version 15. You can download the releases at any of our mirrors in...

A few of the Intel Computesticks allow for booting from the micro-sd-card slot, (they actually show up as hard drives in the bios), and this little adapter trick made doing a bootable sd-card very easy.

Thanks. I have one of these and I hadn't thought of that.

In a root terminal type this: blkid Use the UUID that appears in this form: changes=UUID:1117-3F3A/multiboot/Porteus-XFCE-v4.0-x86_64/porteussave.dat Using the UUID and the partition path together is incorrect. /mnt/sdb1 is the same as UUID:1117-3F3A You may also use a folder that resides on a fat32...

Thanks nanZor. It's got me beat! Minor bug but a bug all the same.

Did you by chance dd an image to it?

Could this be firewall or IP range bans for india?

OK so it works for you in the CLI but not in the GUI?

I envy you. It's my dream!

The problem appears to be resolved now. Tested Saturday 23/03/19

Also, from porteus root mode all the windows 10 files are locked. I've also seen this. Shouldn't be too hard to overcome. No doubt it is because of fast boot or essentially a hibernation file. If mount finds a hibernation file it will not mount rw. I recall a force option worked when I faced this is...

I just checked after running my kernel firmware strip and the firmware for /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0 is still present. Should be OK for next release. Please report any firmwares that are missing during bug reports. I can always add them back in. Thanks.
