Stuck on "Download and generate module"

Post#1 by jk9 » 06 Jun 2025, 09:11

Hi there and thanks a lot for providing Porteux.
I'm a bit puzzled by the fact that I can't install any modules from the App Store.
The App Store dialogue comes up, I choose to download Firefox or any other application, but nothing happens.
I once tried Porteux 2.0 and it went fine, but now using either Porteux 2.0 or Porteux 2.1, it just doesn't work anymore :(

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Unfortunately, Microsoft has changed Github's API, which broke the App Store in such a way that the user now has to edit a system file. I'm sorry about that.

As root edit the file /opt/porteux-scripts/porteux-app-store/porteux-app-store-live.sh, and find these 2 lines:

Code: Select all

FOLDER="porteux-scripts/porteux-app-store"
REPO_FOLDER_PATH="$BASE_GITHUB_URL/$USER/$REPO/main/$FOLDER"
Replace them with:

Code: Select all

FOLDER="porteux-app-store"
REPO_FOLDER_PATH="$BASE_GITHUB_URL/$USER/$REPO/refs/heads/main/$FOLDER"
This should be enough. But if you're still experiencing issues, delete the file /opt/porteux-scripts/porteux-app-store/porteux-app-store.py and execute the App Store again.

Let us know if it fixes the issue.

Thanks!

@ porteux
That did the trick! ( I didn't have to delete porteux-app-store.py file)
Thank you very much.
