Re: Porteus-v3.2.2 bug reports here
Posted: 03 Apr 2017, 12:58
@donald, thanks for this tip! I've just changed porteus.cfg according to your suggestion. Let's hope this error stops
Slightly more elegant solution:port wrote:solution: kill the plasmashell process and restart it (but not a desiderable solution anyway!port wrote:Sometimes plasmashell keeps using 100% of CPU and a quite big amount of memory (5.6% MEM) in such situation everything freezes and becomes very slow I cannot even raise an opened windows by clicking on its name in bottom bar or raise and focus by click on window's title or area.

Just to tell you that yesterday I saw that boot bug even with your cheatcode suggestiondonald wrote:I saw this screen once or twice and the debug shell showed that the drive
has not been found. (in /mnt) IIRC
what helped, was to tell porteus where to (exactly) search for its files
using the "from=" cheatcode together with the UUID of the drive.
e.g.
APPEND initrd=initrd.xz from=UUID:"09b7e..." changes=UUID:"09b7e..."/porteus

That sounds like a new UEFI machine. And if it is SDA1 is probably a FAT32 partition with a EFI folder on it. And Porteus can indeed be installed on it. I have flash drives set up that way that boot on UEFI machines.Rava wrote:my laptop (8 core, my newest, best PC) but a mere setup issue, installing it on sda1 next to the existing Port 3.1.
Hardware: Toshiba Satellite Notebook
CPU: 8 Core CPU "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz"

I've never used NeoGrub but I do use Grub2Win which runs on Windows systems from 7 up. Like you I want to keep my base system, Windows, and add the other systems to it. I use to use Grub4DOS to accomplish that but it doesn't support UEFI hardware so I had to switch.how the setup is done via the NeoGrub menu.lst

Or switch to another boot manager. I boot multiple versions of Porteus on my Windows hard drive and multiple versions on a USB flash drive. On my hard drive I boot ISOs on my flash drive I boot an install and ISOs. Both use Grub2 via Grub2Win. This thread gives more details: http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 57&p=52127Or do I need to update NeoGrub to run Port 3.2.2 ?
There should most definitely be a syslinux directory on your sda1/boot.I just realized, there are no isolinux/ or syslinux/ directories in sda1/Boot
