You also tried it with just 000-kernel.xzm and 001-core.xzm?
Yes and this doesn't works.
Nothing in your rootcopy?
No, it's a fresh install and using "Always Fresh" mode which remove "rootcopy" feature.
Have you checked the md5 of 000-kernel.xzm and 001-core.xzm?
They're both prefect.
Have you some extras in your kernel / APPEND line in porteus.cfg?
Using the default one so there is no extra parameters or line.

No, there is nothing to see so far. No warning, no error. It just freeze/stop at "udev" and seems to works ... without end.

This is a very strange case since everything worked in rc1 correct? The kernel and 000-kernel.xzm module appear identical in both rc1 and rc2 however the initrd.xz gives a different md5sum. It is most certainly a hardware problem if it stops at udev. Hamza you have an nVidia card right? Any major changes in initrd.xz fanthom? Did the pciids for nVidia change? Also what filesystem are you trying to boot from Hamza?

I didn't run rc1. Switched from 2.0 final to 2.1rc2. Yes, I have an nVidia card. I'm booting from a NTFS partition using grub.

@Hamza
you wrote that you were able to hear KDE4 sound which means that booting continued. it's probably just a backlight issue so you could insert max brighteness value through rc.local as per:
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 27&p=11865
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Backlight

if that wont help then please setup 'changes=' and give me log files for review.

XFCE-v2.1-rc2-i486 (32bit)

In Thunar (as guest) I'm able to mount/umount every Patition without being root.
Even if I unmount them as root I can mount them again as guest.
Only a hidden Partition says NO (trying to unmount as guest)

btw: I would like to have the clearlooks-theme back

And as I said before:
In PSC I choose Firewall-mode Block all, after rebooting it is
always back to strict.

@Rava
you must have some changes still saved from porteus-1.2 as all these modules belongs to 1.2 repo.
probably you have to manually delete LIBS.TXT and PACKAGES.TXT from /opt/ppm. not sure about the files from /etc.

@brokenman
maybe you could stamp some config in /etc with repo version and cleanup old files in case when user does an upgrade?

@fanthom
Nope, it was a fresh boot without any old stuff... Strange. Where are all the files needed so that I can check, aside from /opt/ppm ?
Or is the stuff only in /opt/ppm ?

_________

UPDATE
I checked which PPM I seem to run, and it's from 002-xorg.xzm :

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:/mnt/live/memory/images$ cat ./002-xorg.xzm/opt/ppm/ppmversion
PPMVER:
120112
LPVER:
121207
Is that a date stamp? Then it's quite old indeed...

But these are the new ones that I got using the web page / XFCe 2.1rc2 / x86-64. (/x is a symlink that always points to the boot device... :D )

Code: Select all

Sadly, there is no md5sums.txt on ponce.cc/porteus/x86_64/testing/Porteus-v2.1-rc2/ ... or am I just too stupid to find it? :(

I checked the md5sum from 002-xorg.xzm from ponce.cc/porteus/x86_64/testing/Porteus-v2.1-rc2/ and it's the same md5sum that I have with my used / local one...

... May 25 sounds indeed old for 2.1rc2... or not? O___o

@Rava
your stamps are correct (as per ones shipped with the ISO) but on the server we have:

Code: Select all

PPMVER:
120112
LPVER:
130710
and PPM should fetch the last version when you launch it. maybe you did not have internet connection at the time of opening PPM?
please run 'Updates' -> 'Update Module Database' and check if stamps changed.

btw: recreated md5sums on /testing

Here is how I added proxy settings to chrome/chromium:

1)You go to this site and click the green button "Add to chrome",

2)As I work normally as root, I found the plugin under two folders: /root/.cache/chromium and /root/.config/chromium.

3)Put the two folders found above (I guess if you are using chrome, they will be named accordingly) in rootcopy.

4)Reboot. Your Proxy settings button is installed! :Yahoo!:

Doing do, it told me "You have the most recent versions of all PPM items!"
And now the stamps are:

Code: Select all

PPMVER:
120112
LPVER:
130710
So, it seems I did NOT have the most recent version...
So, when I run without saving changes, I better put the most recent /opt/ppm/ppmversion in my rootcopy folder, I presume?

btw: recreated md5sums on /testing

Yay! :Yahoo!:

nope. you just need to launch PPM which compares local ppmversion with one on the server and downloads update when necessary.
no other action is required from your side.

[Porteus 2.1 RC2 lxde, 32bit]parcellite is causing troubles to pcmanfm
Hi,
Here I've got some awkward experiences with copying/moving files with PCmanFM
Once the clipboard program parcellite is running and holding contents, the filemanager pcmanfm will fail to copy/move any files. I also noted that to kill parcellite or to clean up the clipboard contents would make PCmanFM function properly.
The test was all done using Always Fresh.

Any ideas on this potential bug?

(May be the site administrator want to delete the repeated page : http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=2353 )
