The script /etc/rc.d/rc.4 tries to modify lxdm.conf, but is using "slim" config syntax to do so.
lxdm syntax is:
autologin=$login
slim syntax is:
auto_login on
default_user=$user
the last lines in rc.4 should be:
Code: Select all
[ "$login" ] && sed -i 's/^autologin=.*/autologin='$login'/g' /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf
[ "$nologin" ] && sed -i 's/^autologin/#autologin/g' /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf
/usr/sbin/lxdm

I forgot some single quotes in the [ "$login" ] line, fixed it.
Furthermore I noticed:
It affects /etc/rc.d/rc.4 in 003-xfce.xzm and at least also 003-lxde.xzm.
003-kde5.xzm has a different rc.4 and if you change rc.4 using "changes" you cannot dual boot with kde anymore,
so you have to rebuild 003-xfce.xzm. (which is easy)
rc.4 modifies /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf and if you decide to remove boot option "nologin" you have to manually change lxdm.conf
to make that work.

Thank you, and I'm sorry I missed that. I checked for updates on the wrong mirror (ftp.vim.org).

Thanks for the update and sorry for the inconvenience. Not sure why vim.org is lacking the updates.

Why not upload updated isos from time to time?

yes, some mirrors are currently faulty:
We should change the porteus-mirrors url to be:
Code: Select all
http://porteus.org/porteus-mirrors.html?avoid&vim.org&nluug.nl&infania.net
Added in 10 hours 56 minutes 56 seconds:
How do mirrors work? Do they pull files from porteus.org or does porteus.org upload files to them?

it's synced from their side
anybody with a server can set up a mirror, they don't need permission or anything
usually, it's polite to inform the source that you're doing it.
update on mirrors: have received a response from one of the faulty mirrors, with hopefully a fix to follow

Meaning: the other mirror maintainer has not replied at all for weeks now?
Cheers!
