:o Thanks Rava. :friends: What module got updated? :unknown:
No module got updated but man is your friend:
man updatedb :

Code: Select all

updatedb(8)                 System Manager's Manual                updatedb(8)

NAME
       updatedb - update a database for mlocate

SYNOPSIS
       updatedb [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
       updatedb creates or updates a database used by locate(1).  If the data‐
       base already exists, its data is reused to avoid rereading  directories
       that have not changed.

       updatedb  is  usually  run daily by cron(8) to update the default data‐
       base.

EXIT STATUS
       updatedb returns with exit status 0 on success, 1 on error.
When I tried yesterday

Code: Select all

locate ntfs-3g
on the now crashed system ( see here: Some tips on getting to the reason for the recent suspend crashes ) it also did report the same successful results, seems by then cron did run updatedb in the background by itself.
Cheers!
Yours Rava

I don't know what changes went into the Feb 16 Porteus update but they don't work in my Cinnamon system. I boot to a black screen and an xterm window. :o

I noticed during the booting process something about being unable to create a directory.

Added in 2 hours 38 minutes 42 seconds:
And the directory msg is:

mkdir: can't create directory '/memory/images/001-core.xzm' : File exists -> 001-core.xzm

And a similar msg for 002-xorg.xzm

I'm booting the Porteus 5.0 ISO and I put the 2 update modules in my /Porteus50/Modules directory with the extramod= cheatcode pointing to it. This boot option use to work.

Added in 12 hours 19 minutes 14 seconds:
Interesting. :hmmm:

So I rename the updates as 001-corenu.xzm and 002-xorgnu.xzm, added 001-core.xzm;002-xorg.xzm to my noload= cheatcode, rebooted my ISO, no mkdir errors. :good: But I end up with the same black screen with the small Xterm window.

question: what's in your "extramod" directory?

what it seems like to me:
as you know, modules from extramod= directory are loaded after modules from base, so, yes "extramod" 001-core with overwrite base/001-core (with some mkdir complaints)
but, if you don't also have 003-cinnamon in extramod directory, the /etc/rc.d/rc.4 file in "extramod" 001-core will overwrite base/003-cinnamon /etc/rc.d/rc.4
which is my guess as to why you're booting to openbox(that's the black screen/xterm that you see) and not cinnamon.

Why does the 001-core have the desktop /etc/rc.d/rc.4 file? Or deletes the one there? Is this new? I don't remember this problem before.

Thank you for your help. :beer:

it's always been there, for the purpose of booting to a very minimal openbox when using no 003-*.xzm at all, perhaps in the case of making your very own 003-DE.xzm

BTW & FWIW

When ISO booting and putting update modules in an extramod= folder one will see:

Code: Select all

mkdir: can't create directory: '/memory/images/001-core.xzm' : File exists
-> 001-core.xzm
mkdir: can't create directory: '/memory/images/001-xorg.xzm' : File exists
-> 001-xorg.xzm
mkdir: can't create directory: '/memory/images/001-cinnamon.xzm' : File exists
-> 001-cinnamon.xzm
Don't worry, they are not a problem. Once booted when one runs a syssnapshot script they will see the updated modules loaded and are active.

Code: Select all

:good:

Remember when testing 001-core.xzm update modules to include the ISO's 003- desktop file in the extramod= folder. :happy62: (thank you ncmp)

No wireless device found (Post by roadie #93669)

The reason wireless is not displayed is because of the way the search for the info is done. Using lspci doesn't show "Wireless", rather, it shows "Network".

You can fix this yourself if you're willing to edit the file /opt/porteus-scripts/xpsinfo. As root, open the file in an editor and change lines 229 and 233. Just switch "Wireless" for "Network".

You can backup the original first as root, then edit:

Code: Select all

cd /opt/porteus-scripts
cp xpsinfo xpsinfo.bak

Edit the original, save the changes, and open Porteus System Info and the wireless should be displayed. This bug always bothered me too, but I didn't look into it until you posted.

Firefox 110 in my Cinnamon DE and my browser.tabs.inTitlebar=2.

Do note the - + characters on line 2 of my browser are not the same as the 2 characters above it.
