This is to be expected. Space is used as separator:

You should be able to do ls /mnt/sda5/BudSmart_Linux/"Porteus 3.2" (add quotes around Porteus 3.2) and have it work. If you tried to use mkdir /mnt/sda5/BudSmart_Linux/Porteus 3.2 you may find you have one dir called Porteus and one called 3.2. If the string contains a space you have to enclose it in "quotes".

I switched to the cinnamon 64bit porteus just now and when I run the command on mine as you did I receive the ntp error (network time ) , mine however goes ahead and sets it to Europe/London and displays the screen. Mine is a clean usb install with only the 05-devel.xzm package installed and the crippled_sources.xzm package.

Hi folks,

Code: Select all

unrar
doesnt work (invalid instruction). I took the unrar file from rarlabs' latest beta (5.4) and copied it over the porteus one and then it was OK. Also

Code: Select all

deb2xzm
is missing libfl.so.2.
All small stuff. Otherwise very good experience with XFCE 32bit rc4. It is very snappy and swift. The only thing that imho should be replaced as default in the final version is the paper icon theme. It is too pale I think. I am using Faenca now and hicolor as fallback.
So long.
Payoon

Blaze, I saw the wacom driver message on mine and all I can think of is it has built in wacom network support in one of the cinnamon-settings applets and is doing a check for all network cards attached to the computer and is unable to do a wacom verification because of the missing driver. I don't think it will be a problem unless you have a wacom card installed and then the driver will probably be loaded.

Why isn't LXQT available in these rc builds?
It would be nice to have a light DE.
Any chance of good old LXDE?

@Blaze, jmhoward56
the wacom bit refers to a GUI for graphics tablets settings, either because it isnt there or there is no tablet connected(havnt tested cinnamon myself)

brokenman and all

I fixed context menu of Nemo (Cinnamon environment) at /usr/share/nemo/actions
  • added these actions: deb2xzm.nemo_action, remove-slack.nemo_action, rpm2xzm.nemo_action, txz2xzm.nemo_action, unmount-module.nemo_action
  • fixed mount-iso.nemo_action (replace /opt/porteus-scripts/context-menu/mount-iso script on mount via gvfsd-archive)
  • added Russian localization
  • fixed missing icons and removed extra spaces and variables
Download nemo-actions-fix-by-blaze.xzm

But still one thing - if folder name has spaces I can't to activate, deactivate, extract, convert, mount a module etc.
This construction "quotes" does not help me.

For example deb2xzm.nemo_action - look at the "%F"

Code: Select all

[Nemo Action]

Name=Convert %N to xzm
Name[ru]=Конвертировать %N в xzm

Comment=Convert deb package to xzm
Comment[ru]=Конвертировать deb пакет в xzm

Exec=/opt/porteus-scripts/context-menu/convert_deb "%F"

Icon-Name=cdr

Selection=s

Extensions=deb;
but mount-iso.nemo_action seems work fine

Code: Select all

[Nemo Action]

Name=Mount: %N
Name[ru]=Смонтировать: %N

Comment=Mount an ISO
Comment[ru]=Смонтировать образ

Icon-Name=media-optical

Exec=/usr/libexec/gvfsd-archive file="%F"

Selection=s

Extensions=iso;nrg;bin;img;mdf;
If anybody knows how to fix it, please let me know about it.

@Blaze
The problem may be in the porteus scripts and not nemo actions.
according to GitHub, nemo actions can escape spaces on their own by adding this to the file;
Quotes=double and/or EscapeSpaces=true. I tried various combinations of both with the install slackware package action, nothing worked.
I then decided to check the actual porteus script to make sure it was working. I created a directory called "My folder" and placed blackbox-0.70.1-i486-7.txz in it. Opened a terminal there and ran txz2xzm blackbox-* which should have installed the file but did not. To confirm this I placed the same file in "Downloads" and ran same command which did install file. This makes me think porteus script has issue.

I confirm that unrar in rc4 does not work. If do update unrar to http://download.salixos.org/x86_64/14.2 ... 64-1gv.txz - all ok.
This makes me think porteus script has issue.
I think so, too.

I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.
