Porteus

Michele13, Elan touchpad should work: Can you show output of this cmmand ?

We have a report on this post Porteus 5.0 RC2 bug reports (Пост cad #80690) >>> more information can be obtained by reading the following messages.

Hi Blaze

Adding this line to /etc/rc.d/rc.services did it work.
# Start Bluetooth:
[ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth ] && sleep 5 && sh /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start &

So activate bluetooth daemon when porteus starts should add that lines automatically to the services I think

The fact is Porteus XFCE rc3 is ready to make work Bluetooth adding the previous steps and this module blueman-2.2.1-x86_64-1.xzm

Thanks !

Hi evergreen

1st step

Code: Select all

su
toor
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth
/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start

2nd step. Try to give some time for starting bluetooth services.
Open as root /etc/rc.d/rc.services and tweak this service like this:

Code: Select all

# Start Bluetooth:
[ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth ] && sleep 5 && sh /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start &

and reboot your Porteus.

If no result, you can add more seconds, for example sleep 10

I do not. So /usr/src/linux/ is in it I take it. OK.

To see...
Sujet : Boot failure on the last 2 ISO images v5.0rc2 and v5.0rc3

Engrampa failing to create zip files seems to be an upstream problem -- I already reported this issue to the developers.

Xfce not having whisker menu by default is an old decision (Porteus 4, maybe?). I believe application menu is cleaner, lighter and more straightforward and when I want to run some app, I just call win + r and type what I need

Xfce + Whisker menu will look more modern.

Does Porteus Mate use Brisk menu by default?

Absolutely agree : )

But some people have another taste... Hehehe it is like it is

Still bluetooth icon not appearing in panel. Added same firmware used in rc2.

None in menu using psu/gksu opens, it was same in rc2 also

Installing blueman-2.2.1-x86_64-1.xzm solved the above problem.
Bluetooth icon in panel. Cheers.

For someone experiencing problems with Xfce Power Manager (screen backlight, sleep etc.) I found a missing pm-utils:

Guess what...

Sometimes "it won't work" feels a bit too vague while i didn't remember actually booting Porteus successfully on my transformer tablet in May, but the thumbnail USB drive was on my desk all that time and i realized what it was yesterday! Apparently i've been depending on Rufus and its "ESP" option which creates some "boot,esp" FAT32 "EFi System Partition" (less than 1 GB req.)! The graft came from Linuxium (no compiling here) and i suppose the rest was performed manually, although i only very vaguely recall renaming 'grub.cfg' to preserve it, just in case. The odd thing is a presence of '/BOOT/BOOT/bootia32.efi', go figure what else remains unclear... Anyway it did boot at last (once again it seems), so here's the next step:



What's an INSTALLER good for if the OS needs to get installed before using it?! I really got to wonder or i need a nap...

Lots of manual tweaks await after this i'm afraid. For one the battery monitor, which for a tablet would be most useful. Touchscreen was no surprize, the other OSes ain't no joy about that neither... Nonetheless i know it's all going to fall into place, eventually. Yet i wanted to clarify my situation: even if it boots the installer remains no option, which may restrict possibilities to loading .ISO disc images, but the error message shown above will kick in again, right??



With all the miniature HDMi PC-on-a-stick products advertised around one might wish one most valuable feature of Porteus shall prove a most perfect match: it's light and fast, in principle. Especially when compared to Windows which arrived to its ultimate conclusion and that's to re-install in vain - or cancel the show. Linuxium turns that tablet into a nice portable TV with wireless earphones and even a bit of remote control, so i'm expecting lightweight Porteus will do as much in its own good time, until the frenzy of stick PCs changes into something else. In any case Win10 is knocked off permanently...



It was about time do something constructive instead of just waiting for support to end while the 30 GB limit is hard-wired so far.

Porteus can be installed from either a Windows system or a Linux system. It doesn't require Porteus, but if Porteus is being used it can't be using the copy2ram cheatcode. Not too hard a problem to resolve.
