@Hamza

It is not, with other distro, Linux Mint, Zorix, Super OS, etc it works perfectly. However I prefer Porteus fast and light thinggy.

I understood you issue.

It can't be solved.
Why ?
We needs to change the sounds settings for you, but all other users will be have an issue with their sound card , because , we have changed the default settings of it.

I suggest you to make your own settings one module , and copy it in /porteus/modules.

You can use the save-change script.

Thanks for reporting!

I strongly believe it could be solved and there will be some kind competent people to do it, anyway someone has already done it but in other distro...no offence.. I am sincerely respect all the contributors here. Sorry for I can not help much as I'm a purely end user.

toby, did you have this issue in earlier versions of Porteus?

@Hamza: I try my best to respect all the Porteus forum rules. I was simply trying to get people's attention with test-driving rc2 on 64-bit. My apologies for posting that here.

Thanks Tony. It works well on all machines i have tested on ... but that's of no use to you.

Are you booting from a USB device? Do you have any other USB devices plugged in such as webcam etc.

Could you please open a console and type: alsamixer and verify the card and chip are correct?

Here are some other things you could try:
Try going into the sound manager and turning off auto detect in favor of your preferred method.
Start kcontrol and go to sound and remove the option "Start aRts sound server at KDE startup."
Or edit
$HOMEDIR/.kde/share/config/kcmartsrc
replace
StartServer=true
with
StartServer=false

@Ahau
i would prefer another Q/A in FAQ as it means less work for maintainers :) something like:
Q: "How do i remove/replace firefox addons included in porteus by default?"
A: "Addons are stored in 00(6 or 8 depends on arch) xzm module in /usr/lib(64)/firefox/extensions folder. after modifications new xzm module must be created.
be aware that addons stored in /usr/lib(64) are enabled/disabled globally, if you want to add something as per user, please use home folder instead. example:
006-firefox-flash.xzm/home/fanthom/.mozilla/firefox/6fhu8eso.default/extensions"

"the porteus save.dat manager seems to be missing from RC2."
it exist with different name: "changes ... something" (first option in Kmenu -> system)
i will rename it it "Porteus save.dat Manager"

@Seq_Res
1) syslinux will be updated to i386 (again) so your issue should be sorted in FINAL
2) GIMP is in official repo so pls hold on till PPM (porteus package manager) is released for testing.
3) LST is not updated yet (must add BIG RED FONT message in initial thread)

@Blaze
icon does not mean that floppy support is there :) ask brokenman for bringing back floppy kio protocols and libs to the Trinity :)
(hehe - i told him before that dumping floppies is not a good idea in 32bits)

@crashman
sorry to hear that :(

@toby
your issue reminds me KSA_ARAB one. i'm sure it has something to do with udev in slackware (some other distros may fixed it with rewriting udev rules) which loads sound drivers in random order. it means that your primary alsa card becomes:ATI HDMI on one boot and HDA-Intel on other.
the only solution is to create xzm module as suggested by Hamza which contains two files:

Code: Select all

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.hdmi
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
in first file please put:

Code: Select all

blacklist (name of the HDMI module without .ko)
and in second file:

Code: Select all

modprobe (name of the HDMI module without .ko)
you can find HDMI module by running: 'lspci -k' command (will add -k switch to psinfo by default)

let me know if that helps (Ahau - this also could be added to the FAQ if works for toby)

@Ahau,

I solved the GIMP and LibreOffice problems. 'Convert and Activate" all the .sq4.lzm modules and everything became Okay.
It works better than the "porteus-module-tools'. Only the folder-name of 'My Document' is not readable with locales, other
3 icons on desktop display correctly. Thanks and Regards !

@brokenman, we are so close to the final and I have not seen any progress with the kdm issue. Even fanthom called it off.
But I newly found something that gives me a clue, where the problem could be: try this, (this is in my rc1)

root@porteus:~# genkdmconf
Information: reading current kdmrc /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (from kde >= 2.2.x)
Information: current kdmrc is from kde >= 3.1 (config version 2.3)
root@porteus:~#

Seems to be a version conflict; I understand kdm and the configuration file don't belong together, do they?
Do we need a newer configuration file, maybe with different parameters than those we have now?

I'll google a little bit to see what I find. :unknown:

P.S.: The PPM is fine business brokenman, I tried it and wanted to post something related to man-pages, but the topic is temporally closed, I understand.....

@Falcony,

You do not respect this rule.
4. Include logs and tell us commands executed. Most wanted are: /var/log/dmesg and /var/log/messages. Use pastebin.com for long and multiple files. Jayflood's 'Porteus System Info' tool can be also very helpful - you can launch it from Kmenu/Lxde menu and receive a lot of useful info about your system straight on the desktop.
Remember: nobody can help you if they don't know what's wrong, or what you did to get the error you received. Providing this information will greatly aid others in assisting you, and will allow us to diagnose your problem easier and sooner.
If someone with low internet speed want to view this page, he will wait sometime during the loading of your "logs"

Regards,

@Falcony
there is something wrong with your installation:
"X.Org X Server 1.9.4
Release Date: 2011-02-04"
rc2 is shipped with xorg-server-1.9.5. pls compare 'uname -r` with 'ls /lib/modules'. Make sure that porteus is finding right .sgn file (i think vmlinuz from rc2 boots to userland from rc1 or even beta).

Cheers

@Falcony,

fanthom said somewhere that it is very dangerous to mix the versions.
I think , he is right. Do not mix any part of different version.
