Porteus

When trying convert these packages into a module I got the error message:

package data corrupted.

So I guess I have to try and compile from source and generate a module.
I will try to find how this can be done.

Those packages are very outdated,

I succeeded by simply packaging the /usr/NX-directory of a running CENTOS-7 system into a module.

Wolfgang

That's the syntax I was looking for!

Much more portable this way.

It works.

many thanks,

Wolfgang

O.K.,

usm -g nxclient does not work.

How do I install the module(=package?) form another source?

Wolfgang

Hello,

I would like to install xfreerdp.
Is there a way to do this?

Wolfgang

Hello,

is there a way to install nxplayer from nomachine?

This is how it works for me: LABEL GRAPHICAL MENU LABEL Graphics mode KERNEL /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz INITRD /boot/syslinux/initrd.xz #APPEND from=/dev/disk/by-uuid/..... nohd changes=/mnt/sdb1/porteussave.dat APPEND from=/dev/sdb1 nohd changes=/mnt/sdb1/porteussave.dat TEXT HELP Run Porteus the best ...

Well,

I managed to get it working with

APPEND from=/dev/sdb1 nohd

I recommend to edit the doc-entry from=/dev/device to from=/dev/partition.
Furthermore it does not seem to work with the more portable reference:
from=/dev/disk/by-uuid/...

Thanks,

Wolfgang

In order to work around the problem I tried Append from=/dev/device as cheatcode. But that does not seem to work (even without nohd). I tried from=/dev/sdb => no success I tried from=/dev/sdb1 => no success I tried from=/dev/disk/by-id/... => no success I tries from=/dev/disk/by-uuid/... => no scucc...

Well,

I have added
Append nohd
to boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg.

Now the system does not boot anymore:
searching for porteus-v4.0-x86_64.cfg, device not ready yet?

It appears to me that the USB-stick is also considered a hd and this does not get mounted.

Hello, I am new to porteus. I want to use it primarily as a safe way to log into open wlan networks. So I do not want the local partitions of my notebook being mounted - I want to work off the USB-stick with porteus exclusively if I boot from it. Is there a persistent way of preventing the local har...
