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...

@neko:
Is there an aporteus with xfce desktop?

Will spm-20.02.10-noarch-1.xzm work for both porteus version 4 and 5?

Sorry for my naive questions.

I'm no longer sure if SPM can be used with Porteus.
I think some features are limited.

neko,I found downloaded 32 bit ISO, corrupted at my end. Made a fresh download. Booted to desktop, but virtual PC and Pulse Audio modules showed errors during boot, Pl check the pulse audio as no audio is available.

Dock remains static. In 64 bit version, I didnot face any errors and dock too was floating. Cheers.

Ok, thanks neko
And now:
WiFi has been detected and the wireless network connection is active after entering the password.
But then:
When using the browser: Error message "couldn't connect to server"
Apparently this bug occurs with all Porteus versions based on arch.
What can that be??
Does anyone have an idea?

Archlinux packages are updated frequently. Therefore, a problem may occur.
If you wait for a while and get the latest package again, the problem may be solved.
APorteus composed of the latest packages has been uploaded.
Please try it.

APorteus, which consists of the latest 32-bit packages, made sound without the use of older patches.
Removed 004-virtual_PC.xzm from the 32-bit version.

Thanks.

In addition, since it consists of OPENBOX and multi-desktop,
please start OPENBOX from the startup menu and still try it.

Thanks neko for k-4.4.243. Shuts down LXDE with no comments in the screen.Quiet really.

Problem with Linux kernels is they make USB disks with FAT32 read only every time if errors are noticed. Real headache. Has to boot into Windows to remove write protect.

neko, I could unpack initrd.zstd , but could not repack by replacing xz by zstd -9 using command given by brokenman. Are you using makeinit script from arch?

Code: Select all

find | cpio -H newc -o | xz --check=crc32 --x86 --lzma2 > /home/guest/Downloads/initrd.zstd
Please post the command.Thanks

Please refer to the article.
How to properly uninstall packages from uncompressed .xzm modules (Post by neko #79615)

And download "atool-20.11.10.xzm".
You can use following comands.
dINIT:..........disassemble xz compressed initrd.xz
dINIT.zstd:..disassemble zstd compressed initrd.zstd
mkINIT:........make xz compressed initrd.xz
mkINIT.zstd:.....make zstd compressed initrd.zstd

Thanks.
