Porteus-v5.0rc3 x86_64 bug reports

Post#106 by glestwid » 23 Sep 2021, 07:34

Porteus v4 had libgstvideo in 003-mate.xzm but the v5 doesn't have this lib in the same 003-mate.xzm (and its substantially smaller in terms of size in comparison with the previous one). Because of its absence I can't run pidgin client. Where should I get all missed libs for the version v5?

gstreamer gst-plugins-base and possibly gst-plugins-good can be obtained from slackware-current with getpkg command.. (maybe some others too?) gtk2 can be got using bundles command...
most of the size reduction is due to gtk3, icons, gparted and some other stuff moved to 002-xorg..

Porteus Settings Center's Save Settings options don't write to Porteus installed USB drives when Porteus is booted from the drive. Yet files can be written to the drive using Porteus's file manager.

I try to use this module p7zip but I can't see it in the menu so I look in /var/lib/pkgtools/packages and I found it there p7zip-16.02-x86_64-4_ncm so what up or why don't it work?

edit I'm running Porteus 5.0rc3 Mate.
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

Can't save a save_session.dat with the last save-session script (v5.0rc3)...But it works with the previous save-session script (v5.0rc2) on Porteus-v5.0rc3

I first seen it when I ran mc then I check then I look for the problem.

In my humble opinion, swap partitions should never be displayed as desktop icons or in the file browser.

Lookie here:

(When I recall correct, XFCE 4.16 does the same)

Please do the following. Look into .desktop file that defines the screenshot, and execute what is written in a guest terminal.

Example:
In my Case - XFCE 4.12 - the menu entry is called Screenshot but the .desktop file itself is /usr/share/applications/xfce4-screenshooter.desktop

The Exec entry defines what to be executed.

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ grep Exec /usr/share/applications/xfce4-screenshooter.desktop
Exec=xfce4-screenshooter
In my case I would have to execute xfce4-screenshooter in guest terminal to see possible error messages.

Since in my case the Screenshoter works the call in the terminal displays no error and its return value is zero (aka all went well, all non-zero-values mean something went wrong)

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ xfce4-screenshooter
guest@porteus:~$ echo $?
0
Thanks.
Cheers!
Yours Rava

well, all of the pygobject scripts use #!/usr/bin/python
i imagine this could only be an issue if someone installed python2, which i wouldn't recommend, since it went end of life some time ago..

:) with those module versions, your not using RC3 anymore..
gtkdialog.py is a porteus script(that uses pygobject) that is kept in /usr/share/porteus.
it is called on by other porteus scripts to supply various message windows.

Just to ask, why is Porteus not updated to version 5.0 rc3 on the Distrowatch page.
