getmod: not working for me

[francois]

Porteus-XFCE-v5.0-x86_64.iso

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ su
Password: 
root@porteus:/home/guest# getmod -u
bash: getmod: command not found
root@porteus:/home/guest# 

Is it normal

Is it normal

You need slapt-get module:
[Porteus 5.0's USM replacement] getmod: A wrapper for slapt-get to build modules

Sorry guys, but I would really appreciate a more complete answer.

slapt-get is available on porteus once you have downloaded it.

Do I understand that for:
porteus 5.0 it was

Code: Select all

getmod -u

and for 5.1 getmod has changed to

Code: Select all

slapt-mod -u

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# uname -a
Linux porteus.example.net 5.18.8-porteus #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat Jul 2 10:05:31 MSK 2022 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Solo CPU    U3500  @ 1.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
root@porteus:/home/guest# getmod -u
bash: getmod: command not found
root@porteus:/home/guest# slapt-mod -u
bash: slapt-mod: command not found
root@porteus:/home/guest# slaptmod -u
bash: slaptmod: command not found
root@porteus:/home/guest# 

How do you explain that?

[beny]

hi francois, why you don't take a look at /usr/local/bin
you have:getpkg and pmod so you can only work with slackware 15 repository,fot the use of slapt-mod you have to have slapt-get installed and in this porteus version is not installed,but you know i can go wrong
well into the /var/log/packages i have seen the slackpkg+ that allow to use other repositories via slackpkg,try if work for you.

slapt-mod works on my 5.01 system.

   slapt-mod: A simple wrapper for slapt-get to build Porteus module. 
              All operations must be run as root user. 

   slapt-mod [-c] [-u] [-d|-m|-M|-n|-N PACKAGE_NAME] [-l PATTERN] [-s PATTERN]

Options:
  -c: Purge cached packages
  -d: Download only
  -m: Download and build module (ZSTD compression)
  -M: Download and build module (XZ compression)
  -n: Download and build module without dependencies (ZSTD compression)
  -N: Download and build module without dependencies (XZ compression)
  -l: List installed packages
  -s: Search package
  -u: Update database
  -h: This usage

   To change the temporary directory (default is /tmp), pass the TMP variable.
   $ TMP=/path/to/directory slapt-mod -m packagename

   Temporary directory is for storing downloaded packages, installing and converting them to modules.

   See /etc/slapt-get/slapt-modrc to set preferences for stripping and language of created modules.

Haven't tried it in a 5.1alpha system.

[beny]

hi, work because is the first version with the slapt-get package so the slapt-mod wrapper, porteus5.0 do not have it

[francois]

Hello beny,

Thanks for the troubleshooting. I was working on a linux box that I left aside for a good period of time.
You /usr/bin trick is logical:

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/usr/local/bin# ls
cell_hwdec*      mpv_hwdec*    pmod*                update-firefox-live*
check-kernel*    obamenu.py*   polyglot*            update-vbox-live*
fastest-mirror*  pfilesearch*  trans*
getpkg*          phelp*        transfer*
man*             pkginfo*      update-chrome-live*
root@porteus:/usr/local/bin# 

I will update to the most recent stable version.

Sorry for the trouble guys,

[beny]

hi francois,no problem at all,if you have follow the news for the new repository of lu9dce i suggest you to add it at your package manager,because is builded from the slackbuild of slackware 15 in real time,so you have the last version of all,you have to have the ip6 link,ok try it

[francois]

repository of lu9dce
Two new repositories

Thanks so much beny.
