Using 3.2.2 64Bit with KDE5 on a Dell XPS 13

Works:
- Wifi(after blacklisting wl)
- Bluetooth Send/Receive
- Touchscreen Single Touch(Multi touch probably works, but no application to test it on)
- All ACPI functions triggered from the Fn keys(Backlight, Keyboard backlight, Volume, Wifi On/Off)

Doesn't Work:
- Screen resolution setting missing in the KDE5 menu(However, changing the resolution via xrandr works)
- Clicking on "Open" after a bluetooth file is received triggers ../plasma/.../ui/Bluetooth-<ID> instead of actually opening the file
- Connecting to a network and then turning the wifi off then on, doesn't display the already known SSID. They needs to be connected to from the Network Connections Edit window.
- The Wifi password is saved, but the password is again prompted in order for the guest user to connect. Ticking the "Allow all users to use this connection" box doesn't help.

Is it bug ?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The directory name 'nVidia' of 'initrd.xz' of 'v3.2.2 ISO' should be changed to 'NVIDIA', should it?
Porteus-XXXX-v3.2.2-XXXX.iso@/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz@/usr/share/pciids/nVidia

Because line 311 of linuxrc was changed
from
"cd /usr/share/pciids/nVidia; NV=`grep $nv * | cut -d: -f1`; cd /"
to
"cd /usr/share/pciids/NVIDIA; NV=`grep $nv * | cut -d: -f1`; cd /"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks.

@fulalas
Thank you for your answer.
Now I am integrating some kinds "initrd"s to one.
I researched the "initrd" of Porteus v3.2.2.
I found the directory name mismatch.

I do not have NVIDIA. So I did not test it.
Maybe, If you will replace "initrd.xz" of "Porteus V3.2.2" with remaked new one,
the message "line 334: can't cd to /usr/share/pciids/NVIDIA" will not apeare.

How to remake "initrd.xz".
Example: Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64.iso

Code: Select all

% su
# ls
Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64.iso
# mkdir Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64 /tmp/iso
# mount -o loop Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64.iso /tmp/iso
# cp -a /tmp/iso Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64/
# cp -a /tmp/iso/.[0-9A-Za-z]* Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64/ 2>/dev/null
# umount /tmp/iso
# rm -fr /tmp/iso
# xz -dc Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64/boot/syslinux/initrd.xz > TMP
# mkdir initrd
# cd initrd
# cat ../TMP | cpio -i
# cd ../
# rm TMP
# mv initrd/usr/share/pciids/nVidia initrd/usr/share/pciids/NVIDIA
# cd initrd
# find | cpio -H newc -o | xz -C crc32 -9 > ../initrd.xz
# cd ../
# rm -fr initrd
# mv initrd.xz Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64/boot/syslinux/
# mkisofs -o new.Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64.iso -v -l -J -joliet-long  -R -D -A ${CDLABEL} -V ${CDLABEL} \
-no-emul-boot -boot-info-table -boot-load-size 4 \
-b boot/syslinux/isolinux.bin -c boot/syslinux/isolinux.boot Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64
# rm -fr Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64
# ls
Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64.iso new.Porteus-XFCE-v3.2.2-x86_64.iso

Thanks.

Thanks, neko. It seems that you've found the problem :)

But there are some things that I still don't understand, for example this part of line 319:

Code: Select all

96.43.|173.14.|304.
AFAIK, Nvidia now has only 4 driver prefix:

177.xx -> GeForce up to 5 FX
304.xx -> GeForce up to 7
340.xx -> GeForce up to 300
367.xx -> GeForce from 400 to newest

So maybe this linuxrx script is too old.

Also, I don't see a good reason to use case naming folders ('AMD' and 'NVIDIA'). For me it generates more confusing than anything else. My suggestion is to always use lower case ('amd' and 'nvidia').

Finally, because of these two parts of line 315 and 319, respectively, Porteus tries to load every file regardless of its extension, but what we really want is to load only .xzm files:

"nvidia-$NV*"
"nvidia-*"

So maybe the better approach should be something like this:


"nvidia-$NV*.xzm"
"nvidia-*.xzm"

What you think? :)

Installed (upgraded) Porteus 3.2 and am quite pleased with the result, thank!

Some minor bugs I run into:
My wifi didn't work but worked in the previous version. Appeared to be missing iwlwifi firmware. Copied it over from opensuse tumbleweed, which runs the same version kernel, and it was ok.

I use Porteus primarily on my job so I won't have to suffer windows, so today was the first day with the new version.

Scanner, Pixma 280, didn't work. Was an udev rule, copied one of the rules found in /etc/udev/rules.d/80-canon_mfp2.rules and changed to the correct ATTR{idProduct}, and voila, working

Printing took me a lot longer to fix, turned out the folder /var/spool/cups/tmp had the wrong group 'root' instead of 'lp'. After I changed it it worked.

The service menu's to extract and create xzm modules that were there in the previous Porteus were missing, so I copied the over in
/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ and /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus (both, because some older kde4 applications need the first one, like the krusader I installed from usm)

So now I am writing this from my brand new Porteus install!

Happy New Year to all!

I wanted to update my kernel from 4.8.11 to 4.9.0, so I downloaded Porteus-KDE-v3.2.2-x86_64, mlooped it to extract 000-kernel.xzm and vmlinuz.

Next I saved the 4.8.11 kernels and loaded the 4.9.0 ones, activated the installer and rebooted: It freezes by booting! Also when started in text mode. I run efi booting.

Then I switched back to the original 4.8.11 set. As I didn't see any extra vmlinuz in the porteus repository, I thought "that cannot be true!", but I did try without the new vmlinuz again.......it started in text mode, but when you ask for uname -a the answer is linux 4.8.11 (as vmlinuz is).

This behavior should not occur, as there is no synchronization between vmlinuz 4.8.11 and 000-kernel 4.9.0. As it should be, xinit failed looking for files in /lib/modules/4.8.11 when they are really in /lib/modules/4.9.0

One more test: Now with 000-kernel 4.9 and the whole folder /boot/syslinux/ that includes all other files around vmlinuz 4.9.0. No luck either!

Say Jay, what am I doing wrong? Or is vmlinuz buggy?

Regards!
Porteus is proud of the FASTEST KDE ever made.....(take akonadi, nepomuk and soprano out and you will have a decent OS).
The Porteus Community never sleeps!

XFCE : give a lot of error messages during booting, then boot into "safe" mode, which the display resolution is not full sized, and mouse responses very slowly.
Cinnamon : boot up nicely, without any error message; the same set of .xzm are used.

scim does not function in current firefox and opera, but okay in 06-firefox.xzm (2014) and current palemoon.

Can someone tell me how to change the fontsize of the Cinnamon Menu please ? thanks.

I hate Window$ and all government portals dependent from Internet Explorer at my job

Code: Select all

budget.gov.ru
bus.gov.ru
zakupki.gov.ru
gosuslugi.ru
In others browsers these websites does not work (I mean personal cabinets of these portals).
All is based on Window$... :bad:

My dream is Porteus everywhere.

In my country chose a cource to replace Window$ on GosLinux (and probably ALT Linux, Rosa Linux, Astra Linux (Astra Linux for military purposes)) for Municipalities and Federal Offices.

GosLinux it's a pseudo Linux distro - base on CentOS 6.4 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) with 'latest' software Gnome 2.28.2, Firefox 17.0.7, Libreoffice 4.1 :ROFL: (laughing out loud)

Someone has washed a lot of money for this pseudo GosLinux distro.
Road map for the implementation of GosLinux have a long time (several years).

If you want, you can laugh at them in VirtualBox :D

If this way is universal for all, who have the same device, I can add your steps how to add support of Scanner Pixma 280 in my todo list for next printing modules, but I need more info step by step from you. Thanks.

It's my mistake. Do you fix it via command

chown -R root:lp /var/spool/cups
?

XFCE 4.9.0-porteus i686

*.xzm
The right click context menu (or doubleclick action) is in wrong order.

Example:
doubleclick a not activated xzm > Pw prompt > message: Module is not activated
(wrong action "deactivate" should be "activate")

doubleclick a activated xzm > Pw prompt > message: Module is already activated
(wrong action "activate" should be "deactivate"

Same with context menu.The 1st (= doubleclick) option is the wrong one.

I just copied an already existing rule for a Canon scanner and changed the product id code found with sane-find-scanner. But this is just one scanner. My udev rule for sane in opensuse contains 2800 lines!

I saw it was already posted there. I just rebuild the printer module.

Btw, is scanning included in the printing module? I forgot to mention that to get scanning to work I installed simple-scanner with usm which pulled in some missing libs including sane. I use the KDE5 version so it may be available in other systems
