When doing a usm -u all it shows as a separate update. Can be misleading to some users.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# usm -u all

As the Porteus-4.x released, I had tried to run on Mac notebook pro with retina. But it always halted with a blackscreen; only text-mode worked. However, Porteus-3.2 works with X. Is it caused by the absent of boardcom driver or something else missed?

Thanks in advance,

cch

Can you try booting into text mode aka runlevel 3, and if you not use changes folder to save the logs, do the below to log the Info to your harddrive. Make sure the target folder and target partition exists. I use /mnt/sda1/backup/ as the main partition and target folder. Adjust it to your own system.

To log /var/log/messages Do this:

Code: Select all

#log into a virtual terminal (VT) as root and type this (adjust the path if needed)
 tail -fn 10 /var/log/messages|tee -a /mnt/sda1/backup/var_log_messages_INSERT.DATE.HERE 
Log into another VT as root and Do the same for the /home/guest/ xsession log File. For XFCE that would be .xfce4-xsession.verbose-log

Could be that the x session log file not exists.

Then log into an VT as guest and create an empty file using "touch" command. (At least I hope the first X session uses that very same log file. .. I use a different approach using a script of mine that is able to copy the text ouput of an VT. But you need my script for that)

Anyhow when both log files are also copied to your hard disk log in as guest (if you are not already logged in as guest) and start X.
I do so via "startxfce4 --with-ck-launch" but that only works for Xfce.

Then look into both log files if any significent error got logged. Post these errors here.


I hope my above tips are not too complicated.
Cheers!
Yours Rava

I have the same specs in my laptops, apart from the network card and have not seen the display and sound problems you're having.

I have tried the 586 RC4 Cinnamon and Mate ISO's and they both have a very long waiting time to get to the desktop. When they open to the desktop, they run well, speed being a relative thing due to the machine specs, but I certainly have no problems doing what I want.

I have an idea what may be causing this, but I haven't looked into it as I run a different init with Porteus and that will effect things as compared to the standard Porteus init. But, booting from the ISO showed the same problems when I last tested them. Looking into it is on my todo list, but I'm easily led astray with my current playing. However, I don't believe your machine specs are the problem, it's a software issue causing it.

I'm not sure, but I think in the language module

Code: Select all

de-core_locales.xzm
for XFCE 64bit the

Code: Select all

/usr/lib
directory should be renamed to

Code: Select all

/usr/lib64
.
Don't hang me, if I'm wrong.

Anyway great piece of work.

P.S. we had that some time ago (I think it was 3.2) and Donald was the smart guy to discover.

Happy Eastern to everyone!

Thanks, Rava. Almost can't save all the log. Thus I tried to install on older USB2 pendriver, previous one being USB3. It works now on a Mac notebook pro. However, network card can't be recognized since b43 module, for boardcom product, was absent. Do anyone provide the b43 related module?

Best wishes,

cch

Also un-detected card, (Broadcom BCM43xx), seems to related the message in "dmesg",

btusb: loading module not compiled with retpoline compiler.

How to load the driver for the Broadcom device?

Thanks,

Also libgst*.so (gsstream*) had been removed from 005-devel.xzm. Right?

Thanks,

4.0-Rc4 586 Mate edition in AF boot.
Asus EeePc 1000 Atom N270

When the lid is closed, it goes to suspend but when reopened the machine reboots, but not in a nice way. I get the Grub boot screen, but the keyboard is frozen so the machine has to be shutdown. Power Manager is set to suspend on lid closure.

Tried on an acer aspire one, lid closed and reopened, I get the lock screen prompt. Enter password and brings me back to desktop.
