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

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: 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:

good luck!

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.

@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?

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.

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

@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)

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/

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

Sorry , but AUFS is Another Union File System

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

Regards,

yes hamza you are right i have rebuild kernel for nothing

I think,

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

Regards,

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