Porteus

Posted: **29 Aug 2024, 12:42**

This release introduces KDE 6.1.4 in current/rolling, fully compatible with Qt6 and absolutely no trace of Qt5. The packages were gently built by LuckyCyborg, a long-time Slackware contributor.

1. Fixed `aufs-insert` and `aufs-remove` to create references of .desktop files of all modules activated/deactived in batch
2. Fixed boot time regression introduced in PorteuX 1.1 -- `000-kernel` can't be stripped
3. Improved `05-devel` by removing useless `.la` files
4. Improved `sudo.py` desktop environment detection
5. Improved bluetooth support (thanks to arleson)
6. Improved Cinnamon application menu update when modules are activated/deactivated
7. Improved GCC flags for better performance
8. Changed CPU governor to `performance` for amd-pstate-epp CPUs also in stable
9. Changed `changes` cheatcode to `EXIT:` by default -- this will improve session performance considerably when using slow storage units
10. Removed `texinfo` from `05-devel`
11. Updated kernel to 6.10.6
12. Updated Nvidia driver to 560.35.03
13. Updated Cinnamon to 6.2.9 (current)
14. Updated GNOME to 46.4 (current)
15. Updated KDE to 6.1.4 (current)
16. Updated many packages in both stable and current according to Slackware updates

Draw from the latest Libreofice.appimage will not run. I think missing some library. Where I can download it?
Thanks

@Otto, please use the LibreOffice available in the App Store. It should work.

I assume you're using the stable version of PorteuX. Since it's in sync with Slackware 15.0 (which is now more than 2,5 years old), I'm not surprised there are missing or outdated libs. I recommend using the current/rolling version.

Next time, please inform if you're using stable or current, and which desktop environment. Also, always try Always Fresh before reporting an issue.

Thanks!

Draw Libreofice.appimage works fine on porteux current version.
Thanks!

I dont have wifi problem using porteus with Broadcom Inc. BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless(rev 01).
The wifi on porteux-v1.6-xfce-4.18-current-x86_64.iso is very weak, maybe more than 10 times/minute disconnected.
Is there any fix for this wifi problem?
Thanks.

Have you contacted Ventoy support so they can fix the Ventoy problem?

Added in 1 hour 19 minutes 32 seconds:
You can tell the Ventoy support people my PorteuX 1.6 boots with my grub2 menu.

Code: Select all

menuentry " PorteuX 1.6 ISO - Cinnamon"  --class slackware   --class user-icon-porteux  {
#    https://github.com/porteux/porteux/releases

     set linux_folder=/porteux
     set iso="/ISOs/PorteuX/porteux-v1.6-cinnamon-6.2.9-current-x86_64.iso"

     set bootparms="volume=33 reboot=cold extramod=$linux_folder/Modules;$linux_folder/modsavedat \
       kmap=us norootcopy noload=-test;mate;cinn-6.0.2;MyC"   

     search -f $iso --set=root
     loopback loop $iso
     linux (loop)/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz      from=$iso $bootparms
     initrd (loop)/boot/syslinux/initrd.zst
     }

I suspect their app doesn't know how to handle the initrd.zst file. It's looking for an initrd.xz file.

How to install Persistent Porteus with Ventoy

Posted: **25 Sep 2024, 05:34**

unfortunately iso it doesn't work in ventoy

My suggestion just use grub2. Grub2 can boot everything: fullinstall OS, iso and frugal (internal/external-media/legacy‭ bios/efi).
