Looking at the changes-exit cheatcode and there seems there is a problem with the changes-exit file not being written (or being nuked) in the /tmp directory. I removed it for now until I can stify it further.

a BUG for me solved by the following post
Using a modified brokenman script to change to .asoundrc....logout and login proves alsamixer is now able to see the swapped card for those who need it swapped from index=1 to 0
#!/bin/bash
# Concept codeblock for rc.M to select non HDMI sound
# card when two controllers/cards are found.
# Author: brokenman
asnd="$HOME/.asoundrc"
pa=/proc/asound
cards=`ls /proc/asound/card[0-9]/id`
if [ `wc -w <<<$cards` -gt 1 ]; then
for a in $cards; do
[ `grep HDMI $a` ] && continue
crd=`cut -d'/' -f4 <<<$a|tr -d [:alpha:]`
cnam=`grep "Codec:" $pa/card${crd}/codec* | awk '{print$NF}'`
cdev=`awk "/$cnam/&&/Device:/" $pa/card${crd}/codec*|tail -n1|awk -F= '{print$NF}'`
done
[ $crd ] && echo "defaults.pcm.card $crd" > $asnd && \
echo "defaults.pcm.device $cdev" >> $asnd && \
echo "defaults.ctl.card $crd" >> $asnd
fi
so my .asoundrc has correct contents of
defaults.pcm.card 1
defaults.pcm.device 1
defaults.ctl.card 1
but speaker-test fails as index has not truly swapped
Code: Select all
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC887-VD Analog [ALC887-VD Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC887-VD Digital [ALC887-VD Digital]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
full reboot no change to aplay results so will now need to look for alternatives

Swap sound index is solved for those who need it
remove all .asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf
use root powers create a file with contents of
options snd_hda_intel index=1
change snd_hda_intel to your sound module that needs swapping
save file as (suggestion)
/etc/modprobe.d/index.conf
full reboot to enjoy sound
Please note this is not needed by everyone, but only a suggestion for those who find their index=0 card is hdmi and they want sound to come from the other card (device)

kde has pulseaudio. As guest, launch pulseaudio from console, then kill it, then start it again. The first run give errors about some missing directories but creates them.

HI
You appear to have some cups files installed but not cups-openrc?
https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?titl ... to_systemd
To enable printing support, the cups-openrc package can be installed.

@ brokenman:
Thanks finally you are making a Christmas for me.
Octopi might be a better choice than pamac as gui for package manager. On octopi you can set pacaur instead of yaourt as AUR package manager.

I tried both, neither worked.

Perhaps you can leave sshd started when the system starts.
Then from another machine ssh into the one that doesn't work so you can poke around the logs.
hmmmm An interesting approach.

sorry Ed will look at testing a laptop shortly
@brokenman new bugs for insertion of USB data stick or cd data in PCManFM
on insertion media can be read!
click the eject icon on left hand pane causes PCManFM to immediately close.
Now for the data cd it actually is a bit worse, the eject button works somewhat in that on my tower the tray opens and filemanager closes
but I don't get a chance to remove disc as tray then wants to close again.
Pressing the hardware eject cd button takes two goes before tray stays open.
Not nice for data cd media IMHO

aus9, thanks for info. I think it can be done in configs LXDE or xorg (about disable hibernation) without modules and dependencies.
How to disable hibernation in LXDE when i watch online video via adobe flash player?
It's nice to have them all in the side bar, but some poeple (like me) have 19 partitions.
I have a suggestion - to show 6 partitions in this sidebar and to give priority for a flash drive (it will be good for mount and umount USB flash drives).
By default, others partitions will be in /mnt directory.
I am away tomorrow for a few days drinking caipirinha on the beach.
How to taste (sweet or bitter)? I go skiing - a lot of snow in Russia

Hi brokenman, I'm playing around with porteus-nemesis-v3.5-lxde-x86_64.iso.
I have the same issue of the previous release: I don't have any working mouse (integrated touchpad, USB mouse, touchscreen).
But if I boot in text mode (by adding "3" cheatcode at boot line), loggin into root/toor and sending "startx" command, then LXDE starts and I have a working mouse.
The problem is that starting Porteus in graphic mode in this way, I should have to start manually every service (for example Network Manager, even if I set-up the /config/network file on my USB flash drive).
If you want I can do several tests, outputs for you.
Regarding the new v3.5, I notice a super fast speed at the bootstrap, like it's impossible to read the boot lines
Amazing!
Brokenman, thank you for providing these beta ISOs, your work is Always much appreciated!
Regards,
kalo86

No apology necessary
aus9.
A few more testing results:
The new notebook: EFI, grub2 - boots to DE but no mouse / touchpad.
Old netbook: BIOS, grub2 - results in system rebooting.
Old netbook: BIOS, grub4dos - boots to the porteus login prompt.
I've got to review my boot scripts.

Interesting. I will have to try that.
