Permissions problem
I just reinstalled Nemesis v23.09 and had a problem with setup-pman so I reinstall it. I check the Permissions on the USB and here what I found.
I try to change Permissions with no luck or it wouldn't let me. So can someone help me? I just can't remember a lot any more so I must be leaving something out when I try.
A few years ago I had no problems doing it. I posted the screenshot using Porteus Mate v5.01 which run great and want Nemesis v23.09 to run great to but I can't using setup-pman and pacman because of the error.

In terminal as guest the command "chmod +X filename" works. At least it does in Porteus.
Added in 5 minutes 37 seconds:
If the file is in a root controlled folder you may need to do a "su" command before executing the "chmod" command.

hi Ed_P, have you seen the warn, you are not the owner so you can't change permission.

What am I missing? The su command gives one root control. I'm pretty sure with File Manager opening a folder as root works also.

I could not run pacman -Syu mate mate-extra from Nemesis-v22.08-CINNAMON-x86_64.iso to Nemesis-v23.09-CINNAMON-x86_64.iso.
That why I had to back to Nemesis 2021 to get it to work. Hope I did the right because never it before.
2021 Updated Nemesis Base Modules
I think the last time I built Mate was 2018 I think.

@Ed_P Thanks for doing what I ask for now I know.
I know it not me I get the same error. So it going to be awhile before I can build Mate. For now I will used Nemesis-v23.09-CINNAMON-x86_64.

Don't do this... Instead:
Code: Select all
pacman -Syu
then
Code: Select all
pacman -S mate mate-extras
However, I don't know what's the point of using Nemesis like this. I mean, acting like this (_AND SAVING CHANGES_ like seems to be the case) we are using a REDUCED and MODULAR base system whose packages are organized and separated into modules, (which is the Porteus/Nemesis concept) and then on top of that we act as if it were a typical arch system installation.
I doubt very much that it will not fail sooner or later. Moreover, the continued use of pacman -Syu will pull up lots of unneeded dependencies that will probably overlap with others included in the devel module or others and leading to a system that has nothing to do with the initial concept.
My recommendation is not to mix things up. Either you go for a modular system (where each module contains a delimited set of packages) or you go for a real installation where a command like "pacman -Syu" makes real sense. Or maybe a virtual machine...
At this point, it should be noted that the way a modular system like Porteus/Nemesis is built is by means of a delimited, curated list of packages.
In other words, THE ONE who conceived it , knew well which packages could be excluded from a normal system while keeping it fast and usable.
The general command used for this purpose is
Code: Select all
pacman -U <delimited list of previously downloaded packages>.
Code: Select all
pacman -Sddr <delimited list of packages without dependencies> <system root>
could also be used.
Which is the opposite of
Code: Select all
pacman -Syu
