Re: Porteus-v3.2rc5 bug reports
Cheers francois, good to see the old crew are still here making porteus great.
Ill be poking my head in when I get the chance, Ive been having tonnes of fun playing around with porteus again.
@ brokenman. I cant seem to find a log of the actual boot text. Searching the internet is not providing much help on the subject. Is it possible there is no log for this?
btw. love your work.

Re: Porteus-v3.2rc5 bug reports
The easiest way would be to set up a virtualbox and in the settings throttle the cpu to about 7% to get a real slow boot and see the message. Other than that the messages may be divided into different places in /var/log.

Re: Porteus-v3.2rc5 bug reports
What uses/controls the files in /home/guest/.cache/thumbnails/normal? I have files in it going back to Aug 5!!
I was thinking Firefox but it has it's own at /home/guest/.cache/mozilla/firefox/dxsqumip.default/cache2/entries.

Re: Porteus-v3.2rc5 bug reports
I've found if I try to activate a module in a file directory with spaces it causes this notification to appear. Also it reappears then says the module is already activated when it isn't. http://i.imgur.com/TbOoG7R.png
New to Linux but learning. Hoping to help out Porteus community.
Re: Porteus-v3.2rc5 bug reports
Ok thanks. Excuse me ! I've downloaded from http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.p ... rg/x86_64/ these files :alexgorr wrote:I'm sorry asking that , but are there some updates to download or there will be be a rc6 ?
For now the previous version + updates here http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.porteus.org
seem to work fine.
THANKS
POST EDITED by brokenman.
Sorry for doing this but I had to edit your post. I prefer the link you posted not to be posted just yet. In any case please use the mirrors when you download modules. They are much faster and it saves bandwidth on our server.
http://porteus.org/porteus-mirrors.txt
To answer your question. The next release will be the final release. There will be no rc6. Please give the above link 24 hours to update the changes. I uploaded new 001,002 files today since I compiled NetworkManager without python.

IMHO this is not a bug report, but a usage issue, and is best put under Newbie Questions. http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... ces#p23827FURRY_NOVA wrote:I've found if I try to activate a module in a file directory with spaces it causes this notification to appear.

Re: Porteus-v3.2rc5 bug reports
Refreshed the save.dat file and starting over.
Initially booting with the new save.dat file the clock shows the correct time, which is the same time shown on my other booted systems. If I change the 3.2rc5 system to the correct time zone and adjust the clock back to the right time the other systems when booted are then off by 4 hrs!! The only way all systems display the correct time is when 3.2rc5 Cinnamon 64-bit keeps the original time zone which I assume is the UTC one. Basically it is changing the pc's system clock rather than just displaying the time as set.

Re: Porteus-v3.2rc5 bug reports
Are you in a zone that recently moved to daylight saving time?
Porteus doesn't write to the system clock so as not to upset other OSs' times.
Try this from a root terminal:
The first syncs the clock to network time. The second writes to the internal clock.

Re: Porteus-v3.2rc5 bug reports
Brokenman, I am hoping that I can report this as a bug (and obtain some specific references w/o a lot of research). When I boot Porteus on my Kangaroo, the first messages I see after vmlinuz loads are a dozen or more saying "Failed to alloc mem for rom". The OS is now working beautifully; I have XFCE configured the way I like it -- with Vertex Dark theme and Faenza Dark icons (so the many warnings about not allocating memory do not seem to indicate any real problem), but I would like to know: a) what is causing that particular warning and how to resolve it, b) how to capture (and analyze) all boot/shutdown messages (in order to resolve any warning conditions I can), and c) how to suppress text output during boot/shutdown (if possible -- could a new cheat code be included to accomplish this?). Any insights appreciated.
P.S. Check out Porteus booting rapidly to a fully-configured desktop with LibreOffice and Kodi ready to go (copy2ram employed): https://youtu.be/zpxU9Qk6vfs
Shall I publish this? If I do, I should provide a link to 3.2 rc5 downloads (with functioning Network Manager); are there .isos including the working Network Manager up?
P.P.S. I think I've run out of bugs; love Porteus!

All I know is when I started the clocks were correct on 3 operating systems; Windows, Porteus 3.0.1 and Porteus 3.2rc5 Cinnamon. When I changed the Region/City to America/Toronto in 3.2rc5 Cinnamon I then had to change the hours to the current time in 3.2rc5. There after when I rebooted the other OSs their clocks were wrong, by either 4, or 5, hrs each. I don't know what Porteus 3.2 was writing to but it effected the clocks on 2 other systems on my netbook.Porteus doesn't write to the system clock so as not to upset other OSs' times.
OK, thanks. By network you are referring to my in home network? What about the time zone? If "Porteus doesn't write to the system clock" how does the 2nd command work?Try this from a root terminal:The first syncs the clock to network time. The second writes to the internal clock.Code: Select all
ntpdate pool.ntp.org hwclock -w
-update-
So I reboot 3.2rc5 Cinnamon to verify the hour change, the clock is correct, I unlock the Settings, I change the Region/City from Europe/London to America/Toronto and the clock doesn't change!! I wait a minute, no change. I lock the Settings and reboot. I boot to Windows, the clock is ok. I reboot to 3.2rc5 Cinnamon, I check the clock Settings, Region/City are back to Europe/London.
And yes I am sure the save.dat file was updated when I rebooted.
