PorteuX 0.3 has been released

[Kulle]

I try porteux-v0.3-xfce-4.18-stable-x86_64 on USB stick

It often won't boot, hangs

loading /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz...
I wait and wait and nothing happens

The error occurs often, but not always.
What can be the reason?

[Kulle]

Addition;
The error occurs very often, the system is not suitable for long-term use with this error

[beny]

hi kulle you can start in text mode and you can see if there are trouble with deps,in mine run ok the v3 you can use at boot time the tab key to choose options.

[Kulle]

Hi beny,
you did not understand me.
The boot process begins and then hangs: "loading /boot/syslinux/vmlinuz..."

Then there's nothing I can do
The only possibility: switch off brutally

This error occurs very often, but not always

This error occurs very often, but not always

Sounds like a dirty USB plug or dirty USB jack. A little emory paper swipe can help.

[Kulle]

Thanks Ed_P for the tip.
I found information on the internet on how to clean USB ports.
After cleaning, the error has not occurred again.

When Switching from Porteus 5.0 to PorteuX
scripts need to be rewritten.

for example:

dir2xzm XfceFolder ConfigXfce4.xzm
works in Porteus 5.0

In PorteuX, the filename ConfigXfce4 is ignored.

You need two commands:

dir2xzm XfceFolder
mv XfceFolder.xzm ConfigXfce4.xzm

I therefore have to change a number of scripts.

This was changed to allow multiple inputs, including right click on multiple items in the file manager. The help command shows this:

Code: Select all

usage: dir2xzm <input> <option>
 options:  -h : show this help
 options:  -o : output file path
 options:  -q : quiet mode
 options:  -x : use xz compression
 By default the module is created in the current folder using zstd compression.

example: dir2xzm /mnt/sda2/directory1/ /mnt/sda2/directory2/
example: dir2xzm /mnt/sda2/directory1/ -o=/home/guest/Desktop/module.xzm

 By default the module is created in the current folder using zstd compression.

example: dir2xzm /mnt/sda2/directory1/ /mnt/sda2/directory2/

If the default is the current directory shouldn't the example be:

example: dir2xzm /mnt/sda2/directory1/ /mnt/sda2/directory1/

It would be helpful if the browser, in my case Firefox, defaulted to the Porteus forum if no homepage has been set. The Firefox option to download bookmarks from other browsers doesn't find any to download on my system, of which there are several Firefox backups.

Hi everyoneX.

I'd like to congratulate the team for the release of this new experience.

Using PorteuX 0.3 XFCE 4.12 stable, I've found a few "minor..." flaws that I will list below:

• Right-click --> Open Root Window Here doesn't work for me
• ./porteux-main/000-kernel/createModule.sh exits with error "No space left on device..." (Screenshot shows I have 32Gb mem system...)
• ./porteux-main/003-mate/ apparently works, but ends and I can't find any builded module for MATE desktop...

Greetings_

M. Eerie,

1- In Xfce the right click action in the file manager (Thunar) is not 'Open Root Window Here', but 'Open as Root...' and it should work in Always Fresh -- at least it works for me.
2- You're trying to build the kernel yourself, right? If that's what you really wanna do, I need to tell you that currently building the kernel requires lots of RAM because of the optimizations. You can move the output files to a storage unit instead of a system folder (which is in RAM). To do that, change the variable PORTEUXBUILDERPATH in the builder-utils/setflags.sh script to something beginning with /mnt/[unit] (where [unit] is the unit you want, like sda1) instead of /tmp.

hi M.eire also when i build kernel with the neko's software i have to choice the root of the usb or sd you can build everything you want on it is writeable like this
/mnt/sdh1/zoom... is an example,in a system you can gain space with the save.dat options when is loaded you have the space of the save.dat ready to use now i have a 10 giga running

[M. Eerie]

Thanks!

Seems like I successfully built the 6.1.27 kernel and the Ethernet works from the start. Still, the optimization routine eating more than 10Gb seems to be in need of optimization itself

it should work in Always Fresh

Indeed it works in Always Fresh. I'll have to look at what I'm crushing.

you can gain space with the save.dat

SimpleScan works for me on Porteus 5.0
but it doesn't work on PorteuX
(I am using porteux-v0.3-xfce-4.16-stable-x86_64.iso):

Code: Select all

guest@porteux:/mnt/sdb1$ ./SimpleScan 
simple-scan: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by simple-scan)

I think inside Porteus 5.0 Xfce is also Xfce-4.16 ?
So there are GLIBC problems.
