create a symlink to /usr/lib/modules in /lib/modules, that is /lib/modules -> /usr/lib/modules/ in 000-kernel.
Ok, tried it. I created 2 symlinks in 000-kernel: lib/firmware to /usr/lib/firmware and lib/modules to /usr/lib/modules. Now I am able to boot with the Porteus v5.0 rc1 kernel on nemesis.
Points:
- Booting with this modified kernel on porteus itself, needs a small change in 001-core. In 001-core, there is an empty directory /lib/firmware that destroys the /lib/firmware symlink created in 000-kernel. Hence, modules are loaded, but firmwares are not found. So need to remove this empty useless firmware directly from 001-core in porteus.
- In nemesis, /sbin is also symlinked to /usr/sbin, resulting in removal of the static /sbin/cryptsetup binary in 000-kernel. In nemesis cryptseup is a dynamically linked binary. So probably keep as-is because cryptsetup could be a package dependency in nemesis and hence installed.
- Every time I open xfce terminal in nemesis I get this: "grep: /etc/porteus.d/login: No such file or directory". This is probably some other issue?

Also, able to boot to nemesis using the porteus initrd as well. Just need to put the porteus 5 cfg file in the nemesis directory. Saw some errors in openrc at the end of bootup, could be due to the missing old method of reading config files from boot medium.

I follow a straight forward layman's approach.

Extract Porteus 000-kernel.xzm, create 'usr' directory, mone 'lib' directory and build module agian. I update, once in 3/6 months.Easy isn't it?

Code: Select all

[guest@porteus ~]$ uname -a
Linux porteus 5.2.4-porteus #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 28 18:14:20 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux

raja, then it would still be nemesis specific. Would not work back in porteus. My objective was to check if only one 000-kernel and initrd can be created that works on both porteus as well as nemesis.

I did have this issue too, but solved using initrd.xz from the firs post.

Seems you can't mix (import) initrd and kernel from Porteus.

See here (2 pages above). I think we are searching the same goal :D

Hi, ncmprhnsbl,
From this update, seems internal partitions can't be mounted if disk-icon is clicked by a regular user.

So far, I've found some workarounds, but rather than suggested directory in that article (/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/), I have a /etc/polkit-1/rules.d. So I've added, this piece to the file /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-udisks2.rules:

Code: Select all

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
       if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount-system" ||
             action.id == "org.freedesktop.udisks2.filesystem-mount") &&
             subject.user == "guest") {
            return "yes";
        }
    });
but I guess it has to be run at startup (or manually, but I don't know how).

Update: Also found that a regular user can mount a internal partition like this:

Code: Select all

$ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdxy
How can this be reverted in order to behave like before?

Thanks!

it's working for me...
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d contains: 25-guest-mount.rules :

Code: Select all

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (action.id.indexOf("org.freedesktop.udisks") == 0) {
        if (subject.isInGroup("storage")) {
            return polkit.Result.YES;
        }
    }
});
and also in 99-artix.rules , there is this section:

Code: Select all

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (action.id.indexOf("org.freedesktop.udisks2.") == 0 && subject.isInGroup("storage")) {
        return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
});
..one of those should be doing the trick .. (they're just config files.. ie they don't need to 'run')
maybe check if there is something installed in your changes that's interfering:

Code: Select all

ls /path/to/changes/var/lib/pacman/local  
or more specifically
ls /path/to/changes/var/lib/pacman/local | grep js

Booted without my changes module and indeed it is working. So I need to track down what is happening. Apart from custom icons, backgrounds and usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled in /usr/share folder, this is my etc/ tree:

5 directories, 24 files
I think I'll try disabling GNOME services at start or look at ~/.config/xfce4/xconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/* or ~/.config/dconf/user

Will try and report back.

Thanks!

Whisker Menu Plugin doesn't open with Super_L key anymore.

Is it me or is it kbd,libinput, etc?

well, since i don't supply whiskermenu, i don't know exactly..
what does : settings>keyboard>applications show?
i just test installed xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin and set that keybind, which works no problem..
fyi these keybinds are stored in /home/guest/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml
