PorteuX 1.2 user problems

Post#1 by Blaze » 07 Apr 2024, 17:36

Why Porteux 1.2 is not support install to ext2 partition?

Code: Select all

# ./porteux-installer-for-linux.run
Creating directory /tmp/porteux-installer
Verifying archive integrity...  100%   MD5 checksums are OK. All good.
Uncompressing PorteuX Installer  100%  
Only 'dos' or 'msdos' partition table is supported.
Format your storage media using partition table 'dos' or 'msdos' and try again.

EXT2 works just fine.

As the error message says, the problem is that your partition TABLE is not 'msdos'. You should delete the one in your storage unit (it will erase all your data, unfortunately) and then create a new one using 'msdos'.

@beny, we need more information to understand what's happening in your case.

1. does it work in PorteuX 1.1?
2. are you using current or stable?
3. which desktop environment?
4. have you tested in Always Fresh (mandatory)?
5. is pipewire, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber processes running?
6. please paste here the result of: ls /mnt/live/memory/images/
7. is the sound icon in the tray disabled/muted?

The more information the better.

As the error message says, the problem is that your partition TABLE is not 'msdos'.

Code: Select all

As you can see partition table of usb drive is 'msdos' :teehee:

@Blaze, I'm not sure what's happening. I just tested on a USB stick, starting from scratch creating a msdos partition table, then formatting in ext2, putting PorteuX 1.2 current ISO content and then running the installer for Linux, and it just works.

My suggestion is that you start from scratch too.
