Porteus

@Ramón, this is the output of a root terminal - the startup screen splashes, then: root@porteus:/home/guest# libreoffice4.1 /opt/libreoffice4.1/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libcups.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory root@porteus:/home/guest#...

@ Ramón, I am using LXDE 2.1, (I'm using an old computer 10+ yrs old!)

@ Beny, I opened the script but the same thing happened, the splash screen appeared, then nothing.

FYI I have a frugal HD install, don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Hi Ramón, I have downloaded both files (LibreOffice and JDK 7u45), both activated, but when trying to open LibreOffice Writer I get the splash screen and then nothing. Do you have any idea why? I'm using Porteus LXDE 2.1. (En español: he bajado ambos archivos pero cuando intento abrir Writer, me sal...

@ Tome
Thanks for the tip! Wine is working for me now without the compat32 libraries and with the file you pointed me to.
Cheers

@ François or Fanthom I'm using Porteus-LXDE-v2.1 and downloaded the modules: wine-1.5.26-x86_64-1alien.xzm compat32-libraries-2.0-x86_64-1sl.xzm but on rebooting all the directory names were changed to noughts in the file manager so I removed the modules and all is back to normal. Think I'll forget...

That worked! Thanks so much Fanthom.

What's wrong here?

root@porteus:~# aria2
-su: aria2: command not found

I'm presently using Porteus lxde 2.1 booting from a grub menu.lst on hd. Basically, I use Porteus for just word processing and the internet, but having used the package manager to download aria2 plus dependencies which I placed in the /mnt/sda1/porteus/porteus/modules folder I was surprised to find ...

My opinion is that the forum theme should match the main website, porteus.org. Maybe the most appropriate theme is "Black" from artodia.com

Thanks very much for all the ideas guys. As it's not my computer to fiddle with for too long right now (though I might end up with it in the end as I get the unwanted "hand-me-downs"), I surrendered to the temptation and went over to your competition. I got the same result from Slax, but got a hit w...

Thanks for the answer Ahau, I waited for over 5 minutes and nothing happened. I'm not sure how I can try with saved changes as there's no save.dat on the usb since I can't boot the usb from my other 2 old boxes, even with plop boot manager. Oh well, this is another family member's computer so I thin...

On a HP Compaq 6820s notebook both versions of Porteus 2.0 (XFCE and standard) freeze after: "live system is ready now - starting Porteus INIT: version 2.88 booting triggering udev events: /sbin/udevadm trigger --action=add (freezes) I've tried XFCE on a live cd and the standard version installed on...

About the udevil error, i can't reproduce this. I successfully mount my windows share using the mount manager. I just mounted a stick as root in Porteus 2.0 32-bit and also got a udevil error when trying to access it: "Mount /dev/sdb1 Finished with error ( exit status 2 ) udevil: denied 77: user ro...

Hi Ahau, that was bang on! Sorry, I forgot I had the same problem before with Porteus 1.2. All is good now and you guys rock

@Brokenman, I ran chmod 777 /tmp from root console but flash still didn't work. I ran FF from a console and same happened, no error output. The strange thing is that, as I mentioned in previous post, flash works booting from the live CD of Razor. Well, I also have an clean, untouched frugal installa...
