modules folder
there will be hundreds of posts but I can't find them
porteus 4.0, (cinnamon), frugal installation on hd.
I've created 2 modules:
firefox
nano
/tmp/firefox-68.0.2-x86_64-it-1.xzm
/tmp/usm/nano-2.6.0-x86_64-1.xzm
"
Your file is at: /tmp/firefox-68.0.2-x86_64-it-1.xzm
Please move it to your modules folder to survive a reboot.

Using your Thunar File explorer (the 2nd icon with a file cabinet and folder sticking out on the upper left) on the left hand side bar look for the drive containing your installation and look for the "porteus" folder. Open that and you should see the modules folder.
modules folder
Your modules directory is the output of this command:
Code: Select all
echo $PORTDIR/modules
modules folder
well
I created "modules" folder in root directory (/dev/sda12 in my case).
I moved modules in this folder working from another distro...
my cheatcodes are:
zram=40% noauto changes=/dev/sda12 copy2ram extramod=/dev/sda12/modules timezone=Europe/Rome utc kmap=it login=guest
now works
ty
but I don't understand how to pointing to this folder directly from porteus
Is it in:
/mnt/live/memory/copy2ram
?
I suspect this is a volatile address...

spif66 lets refine your parms a bit.
See how they work. The advantage being if the install should move the parms won't change.
To point to the directory directly from Porteus either use your file manage or terminal and go to /mnt/sda12/modules.
Code: Select all
zram=40% noauto changes=/ copy2ram extramod=/modules timezone=Europe/Rome utc kmap=it

:-)
the position was:
/changes/mnt/sda12/porteus/modules/
I created the "modules" directory under /changes...
and moved the modules there.
so, my cheatcodes now are:
zram=40% noauto changes=/dev/sda12 copy2ram extramod=/changes/mnt/sda12/porteus/modules timezone=Europe/Rome utc kmap=it login=guest
as suggested by "jssouza":
echo $PORTDIR/modules
returned:
/mnt/sda12/porteus/modules
but, I think I understand that my changes are saved under the directory named "changes" in porteus.
In short, now with the porteus system running I see the modules with file managers in the following positions:
/mnt/sda12/porteus/modules
/mnt/live/porteus/modules symlink to the above
/mnt/live/memory/changes/mnt/sda12/porteus/modules
I think is this last the position where i must to copy my modules.
I do some tests, thank you all for your patience

nope..
here: /mnt/sda12/porteus/modules since this the physical location, and is where modules are loaded by default, without the need for an "extramod" cheatcode.
