Thanks. This is good.

@ahau: I tried with many modules, both sq4.lzm and lzm of slax; same result that I described earlier on my computer. lzm2xzm command works very well.

[Ahau]

@rnport that's rather strange. maybe test by moving all of your modules from /porteus/modules to /porteus/optional, and reboot in always fresh mode, to test. renaming rootcopy wouldn't hurt, either, if you use rootcopy. I'm trying to get you back to a clean porteus install. I'm rather clueless otherwise.

thanks!

[rnport]

So it is likely to be a local problem. I had converted all my modules from slax and also got the rootcopy from there. I will try with a clean install and get back to you.

Posted after 1 hour 20 minutes 52 seconds:
OK. I tried with modules and rootcopy removed and in 'always fresh' mode. On right-clicking for making xzm modules: conky.lzm from slax converted all right, conky.sq4.lzm produced message that 'it is not a squashfs3 module'. With lzm2xzm command both converted promptly.
So some module/rootcopy/save.dat was causing problem.

I went back through and rejigged all the konqueror service menu scripts. Some were failing due to a badly placed pipe in the script. I have also altered the script to support squash3 files so you won't get that warning ... it will just convert. Support for sq3 will probably be dropped in a following release (i think it already is for 64bit).

Ahau
Solid troubleshooting! That is a caveat of the FUSE way.

All
I may pass the 32bit rc2 release over to fanthom so i can concentrate on this package manager. I have the armature set right but it is an important part of the OS and deserves focus & attention. (at least rc2 shouldn't have so many bugs )

[Ahau]

xpns-tool has some issues. It had some empty dialog boxes, and did not give me an option to create a module.

[fanthom]

as brokenman said: i'm in charge for rc2 release which means (unwelcome for some of you) changes:

1) going to compile many packages from scratch
2) all multimedia libs + mplayer will be moved to 002
3) audacious (stripped from deps if needed) will replace BMP
4) no more kdm/lxdm at start (if you gonna complain much then i believe brokenman will revert this change)
5) going to clean up some trashes from 32bit tree and fix all perms
6) plenty of bugfixing in all scripts (not sure if i'll be able to fix xpns-tool and modtools issues reported before)
7) bump kernel to 2.6.38.7 and sync config with 64 bit where possible
8 ) nodoka gtk theme (same as in 64bits) will replace water vapor and qt-gtk

will try to do it all tomorrow, so rc2 should be out Monday/Tuesday.

Cheers

fanthom, good log and I wish that xorg work for my video card

I don't know much about audacious won't care either way My nephew likes porteus but he wants xmms , I tell him it is too old, but he then he wants vlc if he can't get xmms.

kernel 2.6.39 is out, why 2.6.38.X? Slackware current has 2.6.37.X I know it is a great deal of work, but sooner/later the kernels get old

following along, but have not done much work 2.6.39 has support for broadcom cards that had not been supported before(free drivers in kernel tree), this is my nephew's request as he has a broadcom card and had to compile a driver to get his wireless working I tried to show him little that I could, but he wants everything to work straight out of box I tell him that life in general and here in linux things don't work like that I apologize for asking, but this is for him and some of his windows buddies. As always, I applaud your(s), brokenman, and all testers && moderators && visitors for all work done in porteus Work!

hm - now i don't have the problem with black screen at start.

audacious (stripped from deps if needed) will replace BMP
I hope this player support a cp1251 charset

Did you check your md5sum ?

[Blaze]

Hamza, no - i don't check it. In the next RC2 i try md5sum command for it. Thanks.

BTW i don't use Nvidia driver, but i have this message:
