And in rc1 and rc2 I have an reverse issue. I need a root script to use mpv or mpg123.

Here are the errors when trying as native root:

Porteus 5.0 RC2 bug reports

Post#244 by Rava » 12 Dec 2020, 18:45

Another issue, took one of my several 8 GB USB sticks, but a rare one with small 2nd Linux partition for rootcopy, copied 5.0rc2 on it and my trusty kernel 5.4.30, moved stuff away from too full small ext2 partition and wanted to umount both its partitions, alas this ensued:
Image
not so helpful…

how to safely umount it without a reboot?

On the other hand, its an ext2 partition, Linux should be able to fsck the partition… without data loss. =@

After Eject anyway this happens:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/mnt/live/memory/images# fsck /dev/sdd2
fsck from util-linux 2.36
e2fsck 1.45.6 (20-Mar-2020)
/dev/sdd2 is in use.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.


root@porteus:/mnt/live/memory/images# dx  /dev/sdd2

Filesystem     Type     1M-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on

    echo $(date +%d.%m.%Y\ %H:%M:%S) ____________________________________________________________;
    /bin/df -Tm $* | grep -vE 'tmpfs|/mnt/live/run|squashfs'
}
dfree and mount do not list /dev/sdd2 as mounted, while fsck insists its in use. Whut? :no:
Cheers!

wonder why? ;)

Code: Select all

sudo -h
-----------------------------------------------
-l, --list                    list user's privileges or check a specific command;
                                use twice for longer format

-i, --login                   run login shell as the target user; a command may also
                                be specified

so...

Code: Select all

# su -l guest -c "mpg123 blahblah.mp3"
.. doesn't work?

be aware at some time I quit the playing as guest via pressing "q" in mpg123 or mpv, and mpv even lists the time in song I did so.

I did press no keys waiting for the root via su mpg123 or mpv to play.

Since mpv is more verbose here its difference playing via pulse - or trying to:

pulse is a bit of special case, i guess..

I could try that, too, but what is dev-base for root?

Also how to tell mpv to be more verbose.

--msg-level=all and --msg-level=all=yes end in errors, e.g.

Code: Select all

Invalid message level 'yes'
Error parsing option msg-level (option parameter could not be parsed)
Setting commandline option --msg-level=all=yes failed.
and --msg-level=all=no is less verbose.

When

Code: Select all

 --msg-level=all=no
is valid but unhelpful, then why is

Code: Select all

--msg-level=all=yes
invalid?
Cheers!

from https://mpv.io/manual/master/#options

Code: Select all

--msg-level=<module1=level1,module2=level2,...>

    Control verbosity directly for each module. The all module changes the verbosity of all the modules. The verbosity changes from this option are applied in order from left to right, and each item can override a previous one.

    Run mpv with --msg-level=all=trace to see all messages mpv outputs. You can use the module names printed in the output (prefixed to each line in [...]) to limit the output to interesting modules.

    This also affects --log-file, and in certain cases libmpv API logging.

    Note

    Some messages are printed before the command line is parsed and are therefore not affected by --msg-level. To control these messages, you have to use the MPV_VERBOSE environment variable; see ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES for details.

    Available levels:

        no:	complete silence
        fatal:	fatal messages only
        error:	error messages
        warn:	warning messages
        info:	informational messages
        status:	status messages (default)
        v:	verbose messages
        debug:	debug messages
        trace:	very noisy debug messages

    Example

    mpv --msg-level=ao/sndio=no

    Completely silences the output of ao_sndio, which uses the log prefix [ao/sndio].

    mpv --msg-level=all=warn,ao/alsa=error

    Only show warnings or worse, and let the ao_alsa output show errors only.

Is that available for a global forum moderator and contributor like me?
______________________________________________________

Also thanks for the info on mpv's log levels, would be nice if they put that into "mpv --list-options", also why do they have -h=string when there is no more info that way:

Code: Select all

mpv --h=msg-level
[…]
 --msg-level        Output verbosity levels (default: )
In my case, trace and debug give the very same info, and not a more helpful one as well than the standard verbosity:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# time sudo -u guest mpv --msg-level=all=warn,ao/alsa=trace /sound/CLAUDE-DEBUSSY_CLAIR-DE-LUNE.mp3

Really,

Code: Select all

is no more helpful than

Code: Select all

[ao/alsa] Playback open error: Connection refused
Added in 12 minutes 55 seconds:
but when it works for you on openbox/dev, then the issue must be somehow with either rc2 to your rc2-pre-rc3 version sans DE, or with rc2-pre-rc3 openbox vs rc2 XFCE including DE, or not?

But I would need rc2-pre-rc3 "root-dev" in both XFCE and Openbox variant to check out if there could be a hardware issue as well, I do use the Nvidia GPU driver (and an older kernel because of the NV driver, le sigh) and it could be that the driver not only handles the GPU but the Nvidia sound chip or chips as well. I would have to start up my 5.0rc2 one time with native NV GPU driver, and one time with nouveau and compare the info on the sound drivers that Porteus reports back into the running system to know for sure.

The Toshiba Satellite Notebook has both IBM and NVidia sound hardware, and that might make it even trickier for Porteus or any Linux that is not Knoppix (<- seriously, best hardware compatibility or any Linux I have ever known)
Cheers!

Porteus 5.0 RC2 bug reports

Post#252 by Ed_P » 16 Dec 2020, 02:47

vncviewer in tightvnc-1.3.10-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm produces:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ vncviewer
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
and a small serverDialog window with a blank VNC server: box.

In Porteus 4.0 I get:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ vncviewer
vncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused
Unable to connect to VNC server
guest@porteus:~$ 
and a small serverDialog window with a blank VNC server: box.

-update-

and in both systems when the vncserver is up I connect. :good:
