[HELP] USM and GSLAPT Porteus 5 Cinnamon
Everywhere I read that usm should be available but I cant find it or a package for install. I went to slackware and made an xzm but it says that it only works with slackware 14.1. Is there a way to install usm or nay?
After further searching, I found about gslapt. I installed the module. Thing is, I can only open it through shell. How can I make it open in the menu instead?
Are there other (gui) package managers? Is there anything I can add tomake gslapt show more packages?
Should I click install or "download package only" then convert it to module?

USM is for Slackware 14.x, Porteus 5 is built on Slack15.x therefore this posting is what you should read.
[Porteus 5.0's USM replacement] getmod: A wrapper for slapt-get to build modules
Download the current module, 10/30, copy it to your /modules folder, activate it, run getmod -u then download the module you want.
And no this isn't a gui app.

I had installed this one from this post gslapt 0.5.9, which is a gui app.Ed_P wrote: ↑04 Dec 2022, 16:54USM is for Slackware 14.x, Porteus 5 is built on Slack15.x therefore this posting is what you should read.

Is this less useful than what you posted?

If it's working for you, no. If it's not, then apparently yes.
The USM replacement uses slapt-get and getmod.

it does seem to work, as I was able to install Redshift with it, but there is no shortcut for gslapt on my applications menu. I have to open gslapt with Terminal (which opens the gui, but it's odd that it's the only app I have installed so far that shows no shortcut).

mcabel glapt-get is not the porteus package manager, you have to install the babam package and use getmod -u to refresh database and getmod -m to make download and build porteus packages.

You need to read the links people post.
If you copy the /usr/share/applications/gslapt.desktop file to your /home/guest/desktop folder you can have the app on your desktop. No menu needed.

Thanks. Somehow from how it was written, I did not realized it was the name of the poster
