excellent feedback! Today I have found this distribution. I migrated from Nimblex/ Slax. Now, I am testing Porteus v1.2. All good things until now. Thank you for your hard work.

All the best!

I promise I'll try, but now I have a issue with some of xzm packets downloaded from porteus site. Activating is OK. But some of packets are not running when click on their icon in start menu. For instance: vlc-2.0.4-x86_64-1alien.xzm, kmess-2.0.6.1-x86_64-1sl.xzm, konversation-1.4-x86_64-1sl.xzm, wicd-1.7.2.4-x86_64-2_slack13.37.xzm, dropbox-1.1.42-noarch-1jay.xzm.

Please, do I need to change something for use them?

Best regards.

Are you using PPM to download these packages? The Porteus Package Manager should be used to download packages because it will ensure you also get the required dependencies.

I have tried also with PPM. For instance dropbox-1.1.42-noarch-1jay.xzm. After install, icon appears in menu, but nothing happen on click.

@amplatfus
Open a terminal, find where the executable is with

Code: Select all

type NAME
e.g.

Code: Select all

type vlc
In my case, as demo, I used FFx:

Code: Select all

type firefox
firefox is /usr/bin/firefox
Then run this:

Code: Select all

ldd /usr/bin/firefox |grep "not found"
But use the path to the executable you want to test the dependencies on. More info with "man type" and "man ldd", and "man grep"

If there is any dependency still amiss, the grep will find that, post this info here. If all deps are met, then you will get no result:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ ldd /usr/bin/firefox |grep "not found"
guest@porteus:~$ 
Cheers!
Yours Rava

Hi fanthom,

I just found out that SMplayer and Qmmp unable to play mp3.
Mplayer, Gnome Player and the preview on Dolphin can play without problem.

Why I cannot find "Language selection tool" in v1.2? If I use the old module it change the language besides to throw out Brazil, Czech etc and to leave only English and Russian. The module works normally only if I add KDE4 module. But with the KDE4 module I have some error on start up and must press OK then it starts. May be I must use some cheat code to make the language correctly. Thanks for all answer

Language selection tool is: menu/System/Porteus Settings Centre. Click on the tools button and run the language selection tool. Mixing old with new is not advised.

OK, it works. But it's still a problem. It's impossible to change language with keyboard via Alt+Shift or smth like this even if I choose it from menu. What wrong here?
And in XFCE-version it does not work at all even after create the module

Go into control panel and setup a keyboard shortcut to change language.
