You need to operate the NeworkManager icon to connect to wifi.
To display the icon on the panel, do as follows.

[Simple Package Manager (SPM)]
I'm no longer sure if SPM can be used with Porteus.
I think some features are limited.

How to extract the latest SPM from ISO.

Code: Select all

% su
# ls
APorteus-XFCE-v20.11.02-x86_64.iso
# mloop APorteus-XFCE-v20.11.02-x86_64.iso

# uloop
# sep2pkg 002-z.xorg
# mkXZM pkgs.002-z.xorg/spm-20.08.31-noarch-1
# rm -fr pkgs.002-z.xorg
# ls
APorteus-XFCE-v20.11.02-x86_64.iso spm-20.08.31-noarch-1.xzm

Thanks.

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

if i remenber well initrd from arch isn't compress with zstd only the arch packages they are the tar.zst: gzip -dc < /root/Pictures/initramfs-linux-zen-fallback.img | cpio -i
205580 blocks and:
bash-5.0# zstd
Incorrect parameters
Usage :
zstd [args] [FILE(s)] [-o file]

FILE : a filename
with no FILE, or when FILE is - , read standard input
Arguments :
-# : # compression level (1-19, default: 3)
-d : decompression
-D DICT: use DICT as Dictionary for compression or decompression
-o file: result stored into `file` (only 1 output file)
-f : overwrite output without prompting, also (de)compress links
--rm : remove source file(s) after successful de/compression
-k : preserve source file(s) (default)
-h/-H : display help/long help and exit
bash-5.0#
