Porteus

This is from a simple remaster with just:
1) /home/guest/.vnc folder included in the rootcopy
2) Tigervnc and it's dependencies in modules (tigervnc-1.1.0-i486-1.xzm, gnutls-3.0.23-i486-1.xzm,libtasn1-2.12-i486-1.xzm,nettle-2.5-i486,p11-kit-0.12-i486-1.xzm)

Thanks

Hi,

Please post xpsinfo report.

Cheers

Does it start from a terminal?

ktsuss /opt/porteus-scripts/porteus-settings-centre

If so please check the desktop file and see what is in the exec= line.

grep "Exec=" /usr/share/applications/gtk-porteus-settings-centre.desktop

OK thanks,

@hamza
xpsinfo starts but when I chose to upload it. It took a long time and responded with:

Your file has been uploaded to and this address is now on your clipboard and in the /tmp/pastebin-link.txt

The pastebin-link.txt file was empty and so was the clipboard.


@brokenman
Yes it started from the command line you gave.
The output to your grep was:
Exec=/opt/porteus-scripts/xorg/psu "/opt/porteus-scripts/porteus-settings-centre"

Did you modified base modules ? Did you added an new module in your remastered ISO? Did you you used the rootcopy to store your files?

Which operating system did you used to remaster the ISO?

xpsinfo starts but when I chose to upload it. It took a long time and responded with:

It seems there is an issue with pastebin API.

Yes, I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear in my original post,

I put the:

• /home/guest/.vnc folder into rootcopy

I also put Tigervnc and it's dependencies in the modules folder. There are the files in the modules folder:

• tigervnc-1.1.0-i486-1.xzm,
  gnutls-3.0.23-i486-1.xzm,
  libtasn1-2.12-i486-1.xzm,
  nettle-2.5-i486,
  p11-kit-0.12-i486-1.xzm

I did not touch the base modules. I am not sure if it's accepted or necessary but I would post my ISO file somewhere if you have a suggestion as to where to put it.

Please upload your ISO somewhere as mediafire.com and we'll have a look.

Ok here is the link:

It does start here with your remastered ISO. This means there is either a conflict with your additional modules or you're using the changes feature and there's a "bad" changes inside.

Can you explain what you mean by 'changes feature'?

Thanks

Simple question. Are you using changes cheatcode on a writable media as a HDD or an USB stick ?

Oh yes. I used a cheat code to startup vncserver since it gave errors about it not finding /home/guest/ folder. Not sure why /home/guest folder isn't found but as soon as I moved it from rc.local to the cheatcode location /boot/porteus.cfg then vncserver started up without a problem.

And yes I took that ISO and installed it to a HDD.

It's still very strange though that you can boot that ISO and Porteus Settings Centre starts. I try it and it doesn't. I mean it's the same ISO image.

Please try to boot up your ISO using "Always Fresh" mode.

Yes that worked and It started up the Porteus Settings Centre but it didn't start up vncserver since the modules didn't load. Is that how you started yours? I thought you were able to boot the ISO normally and have the Porteus Settings Centre start with the vncserver and dependency modules loaded.

So close yet so far

OK so from the "Always Fresh" mode I activated all the 5 modules and it still started the Porteus Settings Centre. As soon as I started the vncserver, then I tried and it did not start the Porteus Settings Centre.
