Porteus

Porteus OV xfce with kernel 5.16 runs fine on my old laptops - "nomodeset" isn`t needed anymore . Also if looking at xfce 4.12 i see no progress beeing made in
version 4.16 , gtk3 runs slightly lower. Baka-mplayer is fine but needs Qt5 here. Var/log/packages should only symlink to var/lib/pkgtools/packages , not
a standalone directory . The future of Porteus is such a more complete iso like this , nice compilation of packages you can use all days.

Thank you very much Neko !
I have just tested OV.Porteus-XFCE4.12-v5.0rc3-k5.15.7.iso (691 M)

I have a big problem with Opera (only) :
the screen is cut in small pieces which change permanently (same problem as with kde)

Probably my graphic card is not compatible with opengl (last generation)

hi Rapha maybe the composite, check if it is enabled,if yes deselect it,is just a try..

Hi beny,
I deactivated compositor (in Xfce menu settings), but it doesn't change anything... Changed also screen resolutions (or frequency) , but no difference ...

Neko good night.
Do you still have a copy of the latest .config file from the 5.10 OverlayFS kernel that I can give to me or the latest 5.10 OverlayFS kernel?
I need to run some tests.

I am sorry for a very late reply and a bad answer.
I have already deleted 5.10 kernel.



Thanks.

hi neko sorry but the last OVporteus stuck on:Starting New init script <http://www.porteus.org.i don't have an old one to compare...but this is the config of yours:
CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS=m
# CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_REDIRECT_DIR is not set
CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_REDIRECT_ALWAYS_FOLLOW=y
# CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_INDEX is not set
# CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_XINO_AUTO is not set
# CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_METACOPY is not set
well, when unsquashfs the kernel module the config inside the directory is the host config 5.15.16 for slackware host and 5.16.2-arch for the arch host, sorry, i have see the overlayfs module builtin,but don't boot.

@beny

Boot OV.Porteus-XFCE4.12-v5.0rc3-k5.17-rc1.iso (md5sum: 2c9fdde6b369ca68ef040a82253eb3fa).
And then Please check the md5sums of vmlinuz & 000-kernel.xzm in OV.Porteus-XFCE4.12-v5.0rc3-k5.17-rc1.iso.
