Porteus

Are you using a save.dat file? Nope, it's on an ext4 FS. Anyway! I just (very unelegantly) deleted all /usm/ folders in /var/ and /tmp/ both in the fs and /changes/ and I just had to setup the slacky mirror again. Now I'm just left with the famous LIBS.TXT error when downloading software from slack...

hmmm I wonder if your /tmp folder is full is the problem. :hmmm: Nope... :( there's quite enough space on this key, but I flushed all the files in /tmp/ and I still get that vercheck.txt issue. I can't really think of anything I modified that could have impacted USM, either way I'll just start over...

After deleting the usm files did you reboot? And after doing that try updating USM itself then try updating the databases. I deleted the files in /var/usm, rebooted, opened a terminal, logged in as root and tried root@porteus:/home/guest# usm -u usm find: `/tmp/.mount_KeePasSIW1jN': Permission deni...

What version of Porteus are you running? v4.0, kernel 4.16.3-porteus If I clear the files in /var/usm and try to update again I get the same story as before. The issue is not the databases I think, it's all this vercheck file. Trying slackwarepatches root@porteus:/home/guest# usm -u slackwarepatche...

What mirror did you use for salix? Mine is set to http://mirror.its.dal.ca/salix. With the pandemic some mirrors that have problems are not getting fixed quickly. Have you run the sesm script? [INFO & SCRIPT] Slackware Mirror Settings for USM The USM files are stored in /var/usm so if you'd like to...

I updated my USM system earlier today with no problems from any distro. I guess it's just my problem, but I would like to understand what is it that randomly breaks my installation. Can I somehow replace this vercheck file? Is there a way to reset USM to its defaults without reinstalling the whole ...

Try changing the mirror salix is using. Running sesm is a good way to find the fastest. Every repo gives me the same output, I thought it was a single mirror but unless the entire infrastructure went down then it must be an internal problem to my installation. I thought it could have been the firew...

USM has become completely unusable for me... it used to be just the slackonly repo but not it says this root@porteus:/home/guest# usm -u usm find: `/tmp/xdg-runtime-guest/gvfs': Permission denied find: `/tmp/.mount_KeePasxqS7Gi': Permission denied Downloading: vercheck.txt DONE =====================...

Update usm: usm -u usm Update mirrors: usm -u all if it doesn’t work, try this: usm -u slacky usm -u salix usm -u alien usm -u ponce usm -u slackonly usm -u sbo usm -u slackware usm -u slackwarepatches There are issues with usm on porteus 5.0. You will have to work with another package manager sorr...

What version of Porteus are you using? USM doesn't work on the test version of Porteus 5.0. I am using version 4.0. I first burned on a DVD and then used Install Porteus to create a bootable USB (ext4). The other issue I am experiencing, now that I fixed the other database issues, is that it says "...

I'm opening two threads for separate issues. I have downloaded and activated Palemoon from the browser selector. I'm on a USB stick formatted as ext4, Cinnamon desktop, persistence works fine. There is no icon on the desktop or the menu for the application, although it launches just fine from termin...
