Change from Porteus 4.0 to Porteus 5.0
Change from Porteus 4.0 to Porteus 5.0
The change from 4.0 to 5.0 turns out to be time-consuming and difficult.
Example:
In Porteus 4.0 I like to use 06-abiword.xzm
(I don't remember where I got it from)
It doesn't work in Porteus 5.0; missing dependencies:
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0, libcroco-0.6.so.3, libjpeg.so.8, ......
What is the easiest way to solve such problems?
because usm does not exist in 5.0
thanks

how did i find these?
first i searched for abiword on https://slakfinder.org (pkgs.org could work too, be sure to prefer slackware current repos)
installed and ran it from term:
ok, searched for 'wv' , found it in the same ponce repo, got it, installed it and ran abiword from term:
ok, searched for 'libgsf', found it in the official current repo, got it, installed it and ran abiword from term:
works now.
i'll most likely add this one to the bundles collection.

Thanks ncmprhnsbl,
but this is of course very time-consuming if many dependencies are missing.
Abiword is also available as an Appimage.
But that doesn't work either:

Change from Porteus 4.0 to Porteus 5.0
Porteus 5.0 is in Dark Theme / Dark Mode.
Can you change that if necessary?
thanks

Change from Porteus 4.0 to Porteus 5.0
Newer programs work in Porteus 5.0 but not in Porteus 4.0
Very very remarkable:
The latest version of the Tor browser does not start in Porteus 4.0 Xfce
Here are lines 171 to 181 of the file tor-browser_en-US/Browser/start-tor-browser.
I have echo commands built in: "echo 123" is running, "echo 456" is no longer running.
Is obviously terminated with exec > "$logfile" exec 2> "$logfile"
.xsession-errors ???
How to fix this error?
I think only experts can help here.
Thanks

You're so dependent on USM, is that why you don't want to switch to 5.0rc3?
Sorry, my English is bad.

Hi babam,
Porteus 4.0 must also work!
The latest version tor-browser-linux64-11.0_en-US does not launched in Porteus 4.0 Xfce
That is very strange,
because this version works in Porteus 5.0 and other distros.
I am interested in why that is.

Thanks Donald,
I read there:
"All I know about wayland is that this is some kind of new thing that is supposed to replace xorg, and that Slackware (14.2 at least) doesn't have it."
This may mean that Wayland must be installed
I will pursue this further

If you activate modules for Porteus 5.0 in Porteus 4.0 (e.g. accidentally),
the system will be seriously damaged! Programs can no longer be started.
Why is that?

hi kulle when you use the changes directory you can't do as you wish,so you can't activate modules that no have a match on a new system porteus 4 is based on slackware 14.2 porteus 5 on slackware current,and you know that is a different environment,but i can be wrong....

Hi Ed_P;
the system was severely damaged,
and I could not deactivate the module Gimp (Gimp 2.10.28 . photo retouching . image composition . painting).
Programs could no longer be started.
Normal shutdown was also not possible.
I had to turn off the computer

Hi Ed_P,
I always use "copy 2ram"
Changes are not saved.
And when I turn the computer back on, everything's okay.
So I can always experiment wildly
