For those interested, some time ago I added: pkexec-add-application
This little script adds apps to pkexec.

in slackware porteus but not nemesis afaics ... i should probably try and see if it ports ok..(edit: it does, no problem)
i'm not 100% sold on pkexec .. seems to have problems with env variables (has it's own limited set) and complicated commands..
but that could be i haven't figured out how to use it properly..

2.same as above (except pkexec can't handle the "dbus-launch --exit-with-session" part...(look at the .desktop file)
that said, i think it's probably easier/better to just include/use gksu(and link /usr/local/bin/psu to it) since pkexec seems to have some limitations..
so you need to remove "dbus-launch --exit-with-session"from the Exec= line in /usr/share/applicastions/su-pcmanfm.desktop
(and you don't have to reboot to test it)

I did what you said in message 34 and 35 they both didn't work so I guess I won't have su-pcmanfm and su-terminal for now.

@jack:
Is it possible to provide the latest version of your nemesis lxde module at the head of the first post of this thread. In addition could you post a summary of the bugs or problems that you want to solved for the module to be functional as you would like it?

@francois,
That is my latest version right now but I'm working on one now. I will post it when I get it done.

I build a new LXDE today and with ncmprhnsbl new base modules. I try to use update-cache but when I boot up it won't let me boot in to Text mode. What I mean is when I pick Text mode it boots in to LXDE.
What can I do to fixed the problem?

1. if you can open a terminal after lxde has started, you can run update-cache then..
if not :
2. make a module which contains: /etc/conf.d/agetty.tty1 with line 8 commented(#)
it should look like this:
Code: Select all
# Set the baud rate of the terminal line
baud="38400"
# set the terminal type
term_type="linux"
# extra options to pass to agetty for this port
#agetty_options="--autologin=guest"
# make agetty quiet
#quiet="no"
place this module(name it "textmode.xzm") in <your usb>/porteus/optional folder and at the boot screen press tab and add "load=textmode"
or edit porteus.cfg and add it to the textmode entry..
also, check this post :
Lxde DE Module Build (Post by ncmprhnsbl #61700)
this way, you can simply update your module without rebuilding it from scratch each time..

I did what you wrote and I made the
textmode.xzm then when it rebooted it did the same thing.
