Porteus-v5.1 alpha2 bug report

In Porteus 5.01 the script works, in alpha2

there's been no change to any of the module activation scripts between 5.01 and 5.1 alpha.
bash has been updated from 5.1 to 5.2, so, maybe, it's less tolerant of whatever might be wrong with your script ..idk.
you could try removing all your dev/null bits in the script, run it from a terminal, and perhaps it'll shed some light on what's happening.

run it from a terminal,

A good suggestion. Thank you ncmp.

The results:

A second problem, the Shift+PrtScr option doesn't work. Ctrl+PrtScr didn't help. Full screen is the only option.

@Ed_P, have you tried using -q parameter (i.e. activate -q module.xzm)?

I have not fulalas. Do you think -q

Code: Select all

To disable UI messages use '-q':
 module.xzm -q

will resolve the Module Already Active problem and actually load the module?

Added in 5 hours 7 minutes 3 seconds:

So I made a module of my script that sets the DRV variable to my boot drive and when it is activated when booting my OP posting's script works

The error I was getting about the problem was totally misleading.

Module not found or Directory not found or Invalid variable would have been more helpful.

The Shift+PrtScr option not working for screen selection is still a problem though.
