Porteus-v3.2rc4 bug reports

[bour59]

@ncmprhnsbl thx for suggestion
no amelioration after execution of cache-module

[fullmoonremix]

I can't tell if this is a bug or **intentional...
http://webwarper.net/ww/~av/forum.porte ... 140&t=6026

My goal was to boot with 001-core and build using NetworkManager... mc and/or USM.

**update... this seems to be intentional the missing referenced files are found in 002-*.*
If it is then... either these files should be in 001-*.* or NetworkManager should be in 002-*.*

Echoing bour59, xfce is missing many icons (a few old icons are visible)

icons fine in 64bit xfce..
maybe related to bad caches in 32bit?
try running (as root)cache-module

I should have specified; I tried to run xfce x86-64. Most icons have red "x"s on them, but a few (like Thunar) have what I suppose to be old versions of their icons (which I have seen load before being replaced by more familiar ones when xfce boots). Rc4 still isn't Porteus for my Kangaroo, but it appears to be closer to functioning on it than any other version I've tried (many, including Nemesis). It is curious that you see the icons and I don't -- why would that differ per platform?

[ncmprhnsbl]

It is curious that you see the icons and I don't

yeah, i tried 32bit xfce in virtualbox and the icons are good there too..
all i can suggest is to boot 'always fresh' in case you're picking up some previous 'changes' from somewhere...
otherwise Xorg log might shed some light...

I can't tell if this is a bug or intentional...

can't speak for brokenman...but yeah, having mc in core, missing a functional dep seems a bit buggy..
on the other hand, networking and usm still function.. so not a major impediment?

I just install xfce-32 on an usb key (using neko's tool , no modification)
and always a lot of icons missing-
Edit:
same issue with xfce-64

This is due to Faenza icons missing
so I've generated a module from rc3 with Faenza , put it in porteus /modules

The icons are now presents

How did you create this module? Could the contents of /usr/share/icons or some other directory from the live file system of a working rc3 simply be put in (a newly created directory) /porteus/changes/ ... on the installation stick? I think I will try that and report back. This problem seems considerably less mysterious than missing letters in system menus in Nemesis 3.5 (most display correctly, a few are invisible in all occurrences); I hope that some version of Porteus will support my Kangaroo soon!

[bour59]

The way I create the module is as usual
In rc3, terminal

Code: Select all

mkdir /tmp/anyname
mkdir /tmp/anyname/usr
mkdir /tmp/anyname/usr/share
mkdir /tmp/anyname/usr/share/icons
cp /usr/share/icons/Faenza* /tmp/anyname/usr/share/icons
cd /tmp
dir2xzm anyname iconsrc3.xzm

your module is created.. copy it in rc4 (/porteus/modules)

[Ed_P]

Code: Select all

mkdir /tmp/anyname
cp /usr/share/icons/Faenza* /tmp/anyname/usr/share/icons

When I make modules I usually use a cp command like this:

Code: Select all

cp -a --parents /usr/share/icons/Faenza*  /tmp/anyname/usr/share/icons

Are your icons "Faenza*" or "faenza*"?

[bour59]

Faenza
Faenza-Dark
Faenza-Darker

So do I but sometimes my OS/browser/forum capitalizes words automatically on me, and in fact did that on the line of code I wrote.

Should the copy not be a viable option. 8)

RE icons..
the default icons in 3.2rc4 is "Paper"
Faenza icons aren't supposed to be there.... obviously, you are free to add them..

No, we have just described the fact that rc4 XFCE boots up missing icons. Replacing the Faenza icons somehow fixed the problem -- mostly: when the icons are switched from Paper to any of the other sets, the Pulse Audio Plugin's icon (e.g.) is not assigned.

P.S. I didn't use an extra module to add Faenza back; I extracted the rc4 xfce module, copied the Faenza folders from the rc3 xfce module into /usr/share/icons, and reconstituted the xfce module -- this seems to mostly work, whereas the default setup run from USB wasn't displaying any or almost any icons correctly.

P.P.S. I consider Paper ugly and would be perfectly happy to eliminate it and all references to it from rc4.

sure, but i'm interested in whats causing the problem, since i'm not experiencing it..
how did you install to usb? bour59 used nekos usb install tool, i'm wondering if it somehow transfers settings from the host(rc3)?
what gtk theme shows up?

P.P.S. I consider Paper ugly

can't say i'm a fan either
