ArchLinux packages manager for Porteus

Here is a place for your projects which are not officially supported by the Porteus Team. For example: your own kernel patched with extra features; desktops not included in the standard ISO like Gnome; base modules that are different than the standard ISO, etc...

ArchLinux packages manager for Porteus

Neko thanks for the feedback. :)

The theme I use is Vibrancy Colors which ever has worked so far just by unpack the tar.gz file in the icons directory.
I have successfully used on Porteus in rootcopy folder: /usr/share/icons/Vibrancy Colors

Using APorteus I had no luck getting theme to work.

@maia

On Porteus, you could successfully modify by setting in "rootcopy folder".
On APorteus, you can do too.

Code: Select all

$ ls
Vibrancy-Colors-GTK-Icon-Theme-v-2-7.tar.gz
$ su
# mkdir -p w icons/usr/share/icons
# cd w
# tar -xzf ../Vibrancy-Colors-GTK-Icon-Theme-v-2-7.tar.gz
# cd ../
# cp -a w/Vibrancy-Colors icons/usr/share/icons/
# cp -a icons/* /ISODIR/APorteus-MULT_ja-v21.05.30-x86_64/porteus/rootcopy/
# rm -fr w icons

Furthermore, in "rootcopy folder" APorteus can use TGZ (tar.gz) file too.

Code: Select all

$ ls
Vibrancy-Colors-GTK-Icon-Theme-v-2-7.tar.gz
$ su
# mkdir -p w icons/usr/share/icons
# cd w
# tar -xzf ../Vibrancy-Colors-GTK-Icon-Theme-v-2-7.tar.gz
# cd ../
# cp -a w/Vibrancy-Colors icons/usr/share/icons/
# cd icons/
# tar -czf ../Vibrancy.tgz *
# cd ..
# mv Vibrancy.tgz /ISODIR/APorteus-MULT_ja-v21.05.30-x86_64/porteus/rootcopy/
# rm -fr w icons
-----------------------
After reboot,
[GUI menu] Settings ---> Appearance
<Appearance window>
choice "Icons"
select "Vibrancy-Colors"


Thanks.

neko, I am posting this message from APorteus 32 bit french/english version, using ethernet connection.

Wireless interface is not showing up. Failed to set it up manually. iwconf shows wireless interface.

su-toor command fails. root option not possible. hence 'getaddonpackage'. 'archspmcommand' could not be used.

may be there is some permission issues in my installation.

On Porteus, you could successfully modify by setting in "rootcopy folder".
On APorteus, you can do too.

Neko very grateful.

Initially everything was correct, and your instruction corresponded with the procedures I had done. I found that the mistake I made was trying use an old 003-lxde.xzm module where several files conflicted with your new 002-xorg module. When I cleaned the lxde module, worked perfectly. :)

@raja

I don't have 32Bit running machine.
And I don't know about "wpa_supplicant" command too.

Therefore I booted APorteus-XFCE_fr-v21.05.25-i486.iso on QEMU.
And I executed command same as you.

hi neko and raja wpa-supplicant need a config the arch wiki help to do this,if Aporteus use systemd you need to start a service to wifi device,maybe i am wrong. i have a wifi dongle i can try if the driver compile against kernel module.

neko, create a wpa_supplicant.conf file.

Code: Select all

network={
ssid="xxxxx"
#scan_ssid=1
#key_mgmt=WPA2-PSK
psk="yyyyyyy"
}
Replace xxxxx and yyyyyyy with yuor wireless network ssid and password.

File normal location is /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
I am keeping a copy in /home/guest also, and hence used.

APorteus-i686 works perfectly in a 64 bit machine, including wireless network and su/toor command.

Problem is only in my old 32 bit pc and I am trying to set it right.

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ ls -l /mnt/sda1/aps
total 28
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 May 30 08:10 base/
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root  437 May 28 23:25 kernel-v5.12-1-i586.sgn*

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ systemd-analyze

Startup finished in 7.423s (kernel) + 23.406s (userspace) = 30.830s 
graphical.target reached after 23.152s in userspace
neko, best part is APorteus-i686 shuts down without any error messge(unmounting) in this old laptop, may be because networkd.service is not running???

Thanks

neko, thanks for your latest kernel builder.

I have two issues with the xfce APorteus.

1) After "copy2ram", the USB disk should be unmounted. Manual unmounting results in error, 'disk is busy'.

Disk should be unmounted and ejected.

2)Mouse "tap" function is not enabled by default, in arch-xfce. ncmp added two conf files in nemisis, to overcome this issue.

In future releases ,please add these two files to '/etc/X11/xorg.d.conf' folder.

40-libinput.conf

Code: Select all

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Option "Ignore" "true"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection
50-synaptics.conf

Code: Select all

Section "InputClass"
	Identifier "touchpad"
	Driver "synaptics"
	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
	MatchIsTouchpad "on"
	Option "TapButton1" "1"
	Option "TapButton2" "2"
	Option "TapButton3" "3"

Neko good night.

I'm using the r21.06.27 version on partition hd.

01: I tried to open some AppImage binaries but I got this error message. How to implement AppImage support? Should I install FUSE?

Image

02: When booting I'm using the "noauto" option in the kernel but it mounts all the partitions.

03: How do I disable mandatory password change on every new boot?
Sorry my english is really, g##gle-tr4nsl4t0r

hi neko,apologize me for this request but is available a script that make the xzm packages from tar.zst, a standalone script because out of arch packages manager the only way to do packages from arch is strip packages into a directory and make dir2xzm,if you have a lot of packages is a bit....thanks for your work.

@maia
[dot.AppImage file execution problem]
APorteus has "fuse3" and "fuse-common" packages in "001-core.xzm".
But dot.AppImage file cann't be executed.
It has something issue.
It is pending "dot.AppImage file execution issue".
If you have something fixing, please tell me.

Your information site: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit.wiki.git

My test:

Code: Select all

% wget -c https://github.com/getstation/desktop-app/releases/download/v2.0.9/Station-x86_64.AppImage
% chmod +x Station-x86_64.AppImage
% ./Station-x86_64.AppImage
fuse: failed to exec fusermount: No such file or directory

Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage 
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option. 
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE 
for more information
open dir error: No such file or directory
[All mount]
It might be performed in initrd.
initrd might be need to change.
It needs enough thinking.

[password change]
1. make the patch for new "etc".
mkdir -p EtcPatch/etc
2. change password
3. copy the data that concerned with password in /etc to patch.
cp /etc/passwd* EtcPatch/etc/
cp /etc/shadow* EtcPatch/etc/
4. create xzm module and add it as boot module
mkXZM EtcPatch


Thanks.
