Porteus

Posted: **01 Jun 2022, 22:56**

Hello, I have been using Porteus for a few days and I am very happy with it. I am testing it on a spare computer to learn how to use it so then I can change to it when I feel confortable. I learned that I could convert DEB files to XZM modules with the deb2xzm command, but I am having an issue with a specific DEB file.

This one --> https://www.softmaker.net/down/softmake ... 1_i386.deb (300 MB Aprox.)

the output is the following:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~/Desktop$ sudo deb2xzm softmaker-office-2018_982-01_i386.deb

The /tmp (aufs) directory is not enough space, you only have 697MB of free space.

Is sda1, sda2 or sdb1 a posix filesystem (ext3/ext4/btrfs)?

Posted: **02 Jun 2022, 02:24**

Thanks for the reply,

sda1 is fat32 (installed Porteus in this one)
sda2 is ext4 (for storing changes)
sdb1 is an USB drive I left connected to exchange some files (is exFAT) so I think it isn't important.

Cheers.

Open terminal

Code: Select all

su
cd /mnt/sda2
mkdir workdir && cd workdir
ar p /path/to/softmaker-office-2018_982-01_i386.deb data.tar.xz | tar xJf -
cd ..
dir2xzm workdir softmaker-office-2018_982-01_i386.xzm

Don't forget to delete the workdir directory

Code: Select all

rm -rf workdir

It worked, many thanks.

Now I have another issue. I installed the Free version of FreeOffice by converting the 32bits DEB file into a xzm but I can't get the programs to launch. the program doesn't give any output in terminal at all so I really don't know what is happening.

I downloaded it form here --> https://www.softmaker.net/down/softmake ... 1_i386.deb

Appearently it could be a permission issue because in one of many attempts to open the program I was pointed this error (same behavior as well) but following the suggestions in the thread changed nothing --> https://forum.softmaker.com/viewtopic.p ... ror#p72436

Cheers.

Maybe because it requires old libraries. Try with porteus from 2018.
