What is it that you set up to automatically boot to that graphical menu? Partition/folder/filename
Same error as before. To share an image use https://postimage.org/, https://imgur.com/ or https://www.mediafire.com.Karmi wrote: ↑17 Apr 2022, 00:55Well...that link is different now..here's another: https://fossbytes.com/wp-content/upload ... 68x432.jpg
Add your login=root cheatcode to the porteus.cfg's MENU's APPEND line not the INITRD line.
Yeah, seems steadier wid login=root on the APPEND line...thanks!Ed_P wrote: ↑17 Apr 2022, 03:17Same error as before.

Add your login=root cheatcode to the porteus.cfg's MENU's APPEND line not the INITRD line.
To boot to the command line/TTY console choose the Text mode menu. It has a 3 on the APPEND line.
I was testing 4.0 Cinnamon the other day on a small fat32 partition w/ a large ext4 partition. Had copied EFI 'n boot folder to fat32 (sda1) and then copied porteus folder to ext4 (sda2)...then booted it up. At the graphical menu window - hit Tab > then entered login=root. Later I noticed that it was automatically booting back into the root session...without me adding login=root anywhere. Went back to another test computer with 5.0-rc3 Cinnamon on it...where I had added login=root to the APPEND line (we talked about that), and then I removed login=root from that line.

I'm going to wax poetic here - It depends on how you look at it idealogically. Should Porteus be just another app-launcher distro? I think not - there are plenty of those.rchase wrote: ↑02 Mar 2022, 15:55startx[/code] but it's got to be a nasty surprise for anyone hoping to use Porteus only through its GUI. Porteus should be useable this way for people who just want to browse the Internet (or use office software), but the first time the plug is pulled, getting Porteus running again becomes a research project.

And add a little delay somewhere between 2 and 4 seconds at the start of the file
Of course this means one should have a changes savefile active.Code: Select all
