Porteus-v5.0rc3 x86_64 bug reports

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.

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

Same problem with Cinnamon.
p7zip works in terminal.

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)

I try to take a screen shot in Mate and it wouldn't let me.

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.

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.

Thanks.
