[SOLVED] (in nxt ed.) Porteus 2 - installer - devicename bug

[mocabilly]

I don't think this is mentioned before, I got this error when I ran the installer:

Code: Select all

x@PCx /media/USB DISK/boot $ ./Porteus-installer-for-Linux.com 
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Porteus Installer......

Installer needs root's privileges to run
Password: 
bash: /media/USB: No such file or directory
x@PCx /media/USB DISK/boot $ 

The (mounted) device-name resolving goes wrong when handling spaces in mounted device names..
(USB DISK becomes USB)
Dunno if this can be solved by using some extra parenthesis..

hi mocabilly,

i should be able to fix this bug for next release - thanks for reporting.

as a workaround please mount your device manually in some folder without spaces in name, ie

Code: Select all

mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/stick

and perform installation as before.

thanks

Fanthom,

Thanx for looking into it.

I already used the workaround, and was able to use Porteus 2


Grtz,
