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...

@zagreb
Yes or No.
Right now, I do not know whether I can or can not it.
It needs enough time for me to understand these issues.

1."can you make an iso of your last arch porteus with xfce desktop ?"
--> I will try to install xfce desktop.

2. "can you make script-save as module in porteus modules as in porteus ?"
--> What is a "script-save" of porteus ?
("command name" of "ISO name")

3. "can you add splash screen efi boot as in porteus ?"
--> Does "splash screen" mean only background picture ?
I delete a background picture in order to reduce the ISO size.


Thanks.

Post#49 by zagreb » 25 Mar 2016, 13:37

neko,
1. save as module of new costumizaton-as in porteus 3.1
in /opt/porteus scripts,
2. also-make iso as in porteus 3.1
3.on splash boot efi screen look at
porteus 3.1

obesrvations:
in your arch porteus it is impossible
to save costumization
your desktop is non utilisable
but, kernel, xorg and other things are much better
than in porteus 3.1
with xfce your arch porteus could be the best
operating system

regards.

ArchLinux packages manager for Porteus

Post#52 by neko » 26 Mar 2016, 20:08

@zagreb
APorteus-XFCE-v16.03.25-x86_64.iso (325 M)

This is a trial version.

It has many issues.

1. configuration is for V3.1
It must change for APorteus.

2. V3.1 EFI was ported.
It is not yet tested.
If you have a time, please boot this ISO.
It was reported that Aporteus cann't boot in a vbox.
refer to ArchLinux packages manager for Porteus

3. /opt/porteus scripts are not yet ported.

4. 32bit version is not yet made.

Thanks.

@zagreb
1. Would you tell me which v3.1 ISO could boot on your HP Pavilion ?
Porteus-KDE4-v3.1-x86_64.iso
Porteus-LXQT-v3.1-x86_64.iso
Porteus-MATE-v3.1-x86_64.iso
Porteus-XFCE-v3.1-x86_64.iso

I will check the EFI of the ISO that could boot on the HP Pavilion.


2. Please replace EFI of XFCE ISO with one of FVWM ISO.
operation on the APorteus running environment.

Code: Select all

% su
# ls -1
APorteus-XFCE-v16.03.25-x86_64.iso
APorteus-mini-v16.03.25-x86_64.iso

# rm -fr APorteus-XFCE-v16.03.25-x86_64/EFI
# cp -a APorteus-mini-v16.03.25-x86_64/EFI APorteus-XFCE-v16.03.25-x86_64/.
# mkISO APorteus-XFCE-v16.03.25-x86_64
# rm -fr APorteus-XFCE-v16.03.25-x86_64 APorteus-mini-v16.03.25-x86_64
# ls -1
APorteus-XFCE-v16.03.25-x86_64.iso
APorteus-XFCE-v16.03.25-x86_64.iso.md5
APorteus-mini-v16.03.25-x86_64.iso
note: You can use APorteus-FVWM-v16.03.25-x86_64.iso instead of APorteus-mini-v16.03.25-x86_64.iso.

aporteus xfce

Post#55 by zagreb » 27 Mar 2016, 07:55

-----------------
1. panel sensor temp. does not work
2. after Log out all costumization is lost

as in porteus 3.1
i need okular, firefox, wps office, libreoffice...
4. mount iso does not work
5. make_iso.sh does not take my costumization
--------------
but, the operationg system is very stable

please, correct these erorrs and others and create new xfce iso

this aporteus xfce could be much better than
porteus 3.1
----
it is very fast

regards

@zagreb

1. "but, without SAVE SESSION i can not test further."
You can use the chaetcode "changes".
Please read ISO@/boot/docs/cheatcodes.txt in ISO.

2. "panel sensor temp. does not work"
ISO was updated.
It includes the dependency packages for a sensor.
Now, it is under uploading.

3. "package manager in FAT 32 does not work as in porteus 3.1"
APorteus package manager "ArchSPM" must run on "ext4 file system".
If your PC dose not have an "ext4 partition" at all,
on a FAT partition, you can create the file that is formatted under "ext4 file system",
and it can be used as persistent area by a chaetcode "changes".

Please refer to http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... ent#p36178

Code: Select all

# dd of=porteus.persist count=0 seek=200000000
# mkfs.ext4 porteus.persist
4. "i need okular, firefox, wps office, libreoffice..."
(1) firefox (and thunderbird) can be gotten direct by the "mkfirefox" (/"mkthunderbird") command.
It is an addon command in APorteus ISO.
Please refer to http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 875#p35562

(2) "wps office" can be gotten from the AUR of ArchLinux.
It can not gotten by the "ArchSPM".
It needs old library libpng12.
So, it is a little difficult to get "wps office".
I tried it.
The result as following.

[32bit]
http://www.mediafire.com/download/m5a92 ... fice32.xzm
md5sum: 05632a52236150e162e9741b524c0f60 wps-office32.xzm

[64bit]
http://www.mediafire.com/download/ceh8o ... fice64.xzm
md5sum: b64b7e686acb7a5e63ba8c56f28ab7c9 wps-office64.xzm

5. "mount iso does not work", "make_iso.sh does not take my costumization"
If you want to manipulate ISO, you can do by the "dISO"/"mkISO" command in APorteus ISO.
Please refer to http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 997#p36688

P.S.
I can find save-session in V3.1 ISO.
002-xorg/opt/porteus-scripts/save-session

But, I can not find make_iso.sh in V3.1 ISO.


Thanks.

aporteus save session....

Post#57 by zagreb » 28 Mar 2016, 14:13

I am sorry I can not take in consideration
an OS without
1. package manager in fat 32,
2. remaster tool
………
all versions of porteus have package manager
in fat 32,
all versions of porteus have save session perfect
in fat 32

porteus has make_iso.sh in /porteus which takes
session in fat 32

Thank you for your interested to this study.
I was able to be a lot of research on that thanks.

I think sorry that did not answer to your expectations in the absence of my technical capabilities.

[ bug of add-on commands "mkfirefox & mkflash" ]
--- issue ---
firefox/flash, that was gotten by add-on commands "mkfirefox/mkflash", can not be executed.

--- cause ---
"/home/guest" of the modules that were created by "mkfirefox & mkflash" is not guests owner directory.

--- how to fix ---
"mkfirefox & mkflash" commands are included in "amkslimjet-16.03.13-noarch-2" package.
"amkslimjet-16.03.13-noarch-2" package is included in "pkg.spm" sub-directory.
"pkg.spm" sub-directory is included in "003-z.fvwm.xzm" module and "003-z.xfce.xzm" module.
"003-z.fvwm.xzm" module is included in "APorteus FVWM" ISO.
"003-z.xfce.xzm" module is included in "APorteus XFCE" ISO.

"amkslimjet-16.03.13-noarch-2" package should be updated to "amkslimjet-16.03.13-noarch-3".
