What version of Porteus did you download alexgorr? :unknown:
Porteus-CINNAMON-v4.0-x86_64.iso

I start 'Always fresh' , without storing changes

It seems that aufs is limited to 127 mounts

See here :
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... tive-to-it
and here :
http://aufs.sourceforge.net/aufs4/man.html
and here:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/45 ... nazwa/aufs
I'm afraid that aufs needs to be recompiled with the kernel

Yes. From the kernel config:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_127=y
# CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_511 is not set
# CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_1023 is not set
# CONFIG_AUFS_BRANCH_MAX_32767 is not set

Could you elaborate a little more on this please? Do you mean the Up-Down Arrow keys to cycle through command history, which seems to be working...

Why not ?
I have added a lot of files , libraries and so on...
The previous version accepted mor than 300 mounts, this one no . I resolve with two modules bunches, but I noted this change.
Thisi is not a big problem.
Anyway thanks !

It is simple : Launch terminal, launch mc , try to navigate with the up left right bottom arrows . They don't work. Try the same with xterm and you'll see that they work (at least on my pc )

No problem :)

I think you misunderstood. As mentioned in my previous post, your rootcopy directory has wrong permissions. Because of which you can see that your root file system is now owned by guest and only has exec permissions for user (from the output of your ls -ld / command).

Run these commands as root:

Code: Select all

chown -R root:root $PORTDIR/rootcopy
chmod 0755 $PORTDIR/rootcopy
Then try again without the norootcopy cheatcode.

How this can happen only for me? I extracted boot and porteus folders from ISO to this directory as usual. In all previous versions too ,I was using rootcopy directory as 'guest' only.

Anyway if there is no inherent problems, We will conclude as "solved".

Thanks for the effort and new kernel from brokenman. :)

yep: this is bug(upstream): environment variable TERM=xterm-256color(in vte3 terminals like gnome-terminal) breaks keyboard arrow navigation in mc
one workaround: launch mc like so: TERM=xterm mc or create an alias for this in .bashrc
or use xterm or uxterm (or a vte2 based terminal) for mc

Porteus-v4.0 bug reports

I just downloaded porteus-4.0-32 bit version to compare.

As I said, the 'rootcopy' folder in the ISO only has guest permission.

I copied to a FAT32 fs Flash Drive, It booted without any errors .

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# ls -l $PORTDIR/
total 24
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 May 21 14:36 base/
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1015 Apr 29 12:16 make_iso.sh*
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 May 21 14:36 modules/
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 May 21 14:36 optional/
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root  681 Apr 29 12:16 porteus-v4.0-i586.cfg*
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 May 21 14:36 rootcopy/


root@porteus:/home/guest# ls -ld /
drwxrwxrwx 53 root root 300 May 21 15:02 //
Though I booted as a guest user, see here...permission for all folders is root. No cheatcodes were added.

Please explain. I am not convinced that everything is in order.

Please let me know which ISO you downloaded. rootcopy folder should be owned by root in all ISOs. Also please generate a system information dump using Porteus Settings Centre and upload for us to view.
How do i become super user?
Wear your underpants on the outside and put on a cape.

an XFCE expansion pack that will give us all the icons that are missing.

(combined with a well working, appealing, nice looking theme would be ideal.)

But I think I'm expecting too much.

Let's talk about asthetics:
It is still not possible to adjust the panel height to (e.g.) 24px without
losing the icons. (the icon color does change to white)
You will see it if you change the (default) panel color to a darker one.
but then the color of the clock and volume icon does not change to white.

If i select the (adwaita) dark theme - i'm not a fan of dark themes btw -
mousepad (for example) has only one visible icon, all other icons
are black on black..

Last time I looked at it, still the same.

These inconsistencies are what make the operating system look amateurish.
just my point of view - no offence
