Porteus on Surface Pro 4 touchscreen only

[Blaze]

to switch to cinnamon and how?

Download and install Porteus-CINNAMON-v5.01-x86_64.iso

i will try them. are them different from the previousyou gave me before?

Yes, I builded with some options. But options in config in kernel are missing again.

Probably anybody build kernel with support Surface

I used these materials

It worked but I can’t type because no keyboard
I tried Onboard but didn’t work, doesn’t start.
Then tried Florence it worked but after restart stoped just show up then nothing like frozen.

Onboard, can autostart at boot.

Tested on Porteus 5.0 Xfce.

hi alharthi6, i think you have changes activated, so the onboard software: on xfce4:settings, session and startup,application autostart and if you can choose the init4 start you can have when the desktop environment is ready you have the icon on taskbar.

Is the Onboard that I provided not working?

[beny]

hi babam, iso-codes is into the package?

hi babam, iso-codes is into the package?

No, But I added /usr/share/xml/iso-codes/{iso_639.xml,iso_3166.xml}
And works on my Porteus 5.0 Xfce.

[alharthi6]

it worked after installing as txz then uninstalling

[alharthi6]

now how to enable secure boot with the kernel?
and how about multi touch ?
can i use cinnamon with data save file of xfce?

[babam]

yes i did for this kernel 64bit-ALL-kernel6.6.15.tar and plus iptsd and this

BTW for WiFi support download and copy to modules folder https://www.mediafire.com/file/tza41cyk ... l-firmware…

P.S. Make backup of kernel coz I do not test it.

but for this I don't know how!

I think I will just stick with windows 10 or linux mint since this deosn't have any touch keyboard and not applicable for touch screens only.
Thanks all for help.

Maybe you also need libwacom-surface https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libwacom-surface

For Wifi and Bleutooth you need firmwares https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any ... e-marvell/

hi alharthi6, if you want to deactivate a module in base or modules directory is simple, you can remove the .xzm at the end or add a sign at the end you can left the package inside the directory without issue

you can remove the .xzm at the end or add a sign at the end

That's how I deactivate, and save backups, of modules. I just add a "y" to the "xzm" suffix.
