This is not about the Porteus v1.0 Beta (x86_64 Version).

Please open new topic for this.

If you using the x86_64 version by fanthom.

Please looks at 64bit 'guest' account available for testing

If this is not about that , please open new topic.

Suggestions:
Try to edit the perm's of the guest account in K USER Manager

@Hamza
i don't really trust unetbootin - have heard about troubles caused by it on slax forum. What's wrong with existing installers?

@beny
try my script for getting the aufs and creating a patch from it:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

dest=~/Desktop/aufs2.patch

mkdir /tmp/aufs$$
cd /tmp/aufs$$
git clone http://git.c3sl.ufpr.br/pub/scm/aufs/aufs2-standalone.git aufs2-standalone.git
cd aufs2-standalone.git
git checkout origin/aufs2.1-38
mkdir ../a ../b
cp -r Documentation ../b
cp -r fs ../b
cp -r include ../b
rm ../b/include/linux/Kbuild
cd ..
diff -rupN a/ b/ > $dest
cat aufs2-standalone.git/aufs2-base.patch >> $dest
cat aufs2-standalone.git/aufs2-standalone.patch >> $dest
cat aufs2-standalone.git/aufs2-kbuild.patch >> $dest

echo && echo "latest patch created as $dest"

if you want to get latest patch from git (for unreleased rc kernels) then change:
"git checkout origin/aufs2.1-38"
to
"git checkout origin/aufs2.1"

i have compiled 2.6.38.2 + aufs2.2-38 but deactivation bug persist. Seems that i'll have to give a shot to unionfs instead...

"Is their a way to allow any non-root acount to mount floppy or external hard drive?"
you can do it in two ways:
1) install and configure 'sudo' package (plenty of tutorials on google)
2) create static entry in fstab, for example:
"/dev/sdb1 /mnt/hd vfat noauto,user,umask=0 0 0"
"user,umask=0" means that normal user can mount the device and has full read/write access.
fstab is refreshed during each boot so you need to go with a workaround as described here:
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... t=10#p2239

good luck!

[beny]

but you have read that i have made a try in lxde and nothing weird not hang the system run well 2.6.38.2 and aufs patch unofficial.

[fanthom]

@beny
i'm pretty sure it's still there
just in case - could you upload your vmlinuz, initrd and 000-kernel for me to check?

[beny]

ok fanthom tomorrow after lunch i can uploded if mediafire do not make me trouble,but i have done the lxde try and i think test passed,but i can be wrong or have made test in a wrong way.

Finally got around to trying it out. (I know, a bit late, it's almost out of beta)

Spectacular job Fanthom and co. Thank you all for the great OS.

[beny]

hi fanthom this is the link at file folder
http://www.mediafire.com/?dalk27qfr1fr6,i am waiting for the new,if there is,bye

[fanthom]

@Issack
ty

@beny
unfortunately same issue
unionfs failed to compile with 2.6.38.2 so i couldn't try it out. I have sent email to Junjiro about our issues, hopefully he will be able to fix them soon.
(in worst case we can disable 'deactivation' feature for 1.0)

[beny]

but you can activate deactivate via console?i have tried in this way and no hang,if you can explain me the problems.... maybe i understand it /joke on/

Posted after 17 minutes 56 seconds:
i have found a kernel unionfs-patch i upload from the same folder in mediafire,please you can take a look if need to solve our issue?

Posted after 5 hours 39 seconds:
no luck don't compile with union and aufs patch

[Hamza]

Sorry , but AUFS is Another Union File System

If you install Union Patch and Aufs Patch , you will make some conflicts.

Regards,

[beny]

yes hamza you are right i have rebuild kernel for nothing

[Hamza]

I think,

Union wil be not compatible with our Porteus , because the LLS by fanthom was written for use AUFS and not UNION

Regards,

[beny]

i have encountered one patch for unionfs and i have thinking,make a try for solve our issue but i am mistaken.
