Package Manager

[francois]

@karmi:
using getmod is very simple. It is just that you are not familiar with the interface. Tell us what you did and then the output.
You should have used:
getmod -m package and not
getmod -d package

getmod -m package will download and build the xzm module. Then the module will be in /tmp to be moved to /porteus/modules. This way at next reboot it will be loaded. If you do not reboot, you have to activate it with a right click (first option into the list is activate module)

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# getmod -m gslapt-0.5.9caf-x86_64-1gv

To move files around you have to be in thunar root mode. Do you know how to do this?

@Ed:
gslapt has to be started root mode, that is good. But:
Did you installed gslapt?

Perhaps gslapt is simply not installed:

Code: Select all

getmod -m gslapt-0.5.9caf-x86_64-1gv

I have no issue w/ getmod – it is what I mainly use. Gslapt Package Manager was the issue I failed on in a test – no biggie tho, for me. I am always in root mode (login=root) – "thunar" I'm not sure about unless it is a misspelling. Don't have the time right now, but may try to get the Gslapt Package Manager installed correctly at another time – thanks tho!

Service on porteus forum is very friendly. We like to interest new forum members. Personally, I am in since the begining of this distribution. It did replace windows and replaced it with additional satisfaction. Yes there is time to spend. Personally, I fulfill all my computer needs with porteus. Once and a while, I go to ubuntu or debian or archlinux, but only once and a while.
