Porteus-v5.01 bug reports

[Rava]

Ctrl+Alt+F4 brought me to a basic terminal screen that I couldn't get back from.

You can switch between VTs (Virtual Terminals) via "Alt+Right-Cursor-Key" or "Alt+Left-Cursor-Key".

By "Right-Cursor-Key" and "Left-Cursor-Key" I mean the → and ← keys that are usually setup up on most keyboards in this pattern:

Code: Select all

  ↑
← ↓ →

When switching long enough (= e.g. via pressing "Alt+Right-Cursor-Key" and "Alt+Right-Cursor-Key" and "Alt+Right-Cursor-Key" …), you will reach the VT that has started X and thus you will return to your DE / to your X session.

Added in 5 minutes 18 seconds:
Of course, alternatively you could also log in a guest and start a 2nd X session via

Code: Select all

startx

but Cave! Be aware that running more than one X session at a time will put much strain on your system. First: this new X session is not the one you previously ran, it is a brand new one, and 2nd: even on more modern systems with lots of RAM running more than one X session will slow down your whole system significantly, so better not try that.

Added in 3 minutes 54 seconds:
It is still a nice experience every Windoze user should have at least tried once: since it is possible on Linux to run more than one X session on one machine, it is not possible to run more than one native Windoze session on any Windoze system (unless you use virtual machines, but we not speak about virtual machines here) Still be aware of what you put your system through and best save all open files (have backups like usual) and in the worst case scenario, be prepared to use REISUB when all fails and your system becomes unresponsive.

Hello,
I can't mount an encrypted disk with Luks via Thunar on the XFCE version.
I tested via qemu and on a physical machine I reproduce the problem.
There's a message asking for my password, but once I've entered it and validated it, I get the error :
Failed to mount "42 GB Encrypted"
Error unclock /dev/sda5: The function 'bd_crypto_luks_open_blob' called but not implemented.
(the libblockdev package is already installed so I don't know)

On the other hand, no command-line problems to mount the encrypted volume.

I tested with an encrypted LVM volume and a volume without LVM, it's the same.

I've also tested the Gnome and KDE version of Porteus, and I can't mount the encrypted volume either.

hi, read this,porteus don't have this lib libblockdev-crypto2. Try to connect to luks container

[funghost]

Hi beny,
I tested it by taking the Debian package (libblockdev-crypto 2 v2.28) and overwriting the files present and I get the same message.

On Porteus with a
slackpkg file-search libbd_crypto.so.2.0.0
It tells me that libblockdev version 2.26 is already installed

[beny]

hi arch have this version,libblockdev-3.0.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst but i don't know if is useful for your task, have the python3.11 inside so i don't think you can use for...

[funghost]

Hi
I just tested slackware64-live-15.0.iso and it works even though they have version 2.26.
It's not the version that's the problem, it must be a package that needs to be added, but which one?

[Rava]

Just put my Port 5.01

Code: Select all

root@rava:~# cat /etc/porteus/*
001-core.xzm:20230922
002-xorg.xzm:20231001
002-xtra.xzm:20230922
003-xfce.xzm:20230922
06-man.xzm:20230915
initrd.xz:20220928

out of suspend to see this error:

and I would like to know what that's about.

Code: Select all

root@rava:~# grep -i failure /var/log/messages
root@rava:~# grep -i failure /var/log/dmesg 
root@rava:~# 

Any ideas?

[beny]

I presume you have not replied to my post about the

issue?

[funghost]

Hi beny,
I've just tested with the openssl11-solibs package and got the same message.

[funghost]

Hi,
if it helps, I've found the command that's causing the problem :

Code: Select all

udisksctl unlock --block-device /dev/sda2

Error unlocking /dev/sda2:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Error.Failed:
Error unlocking /dev/sda2: The function 'bd_crypto_luks_open_blob' called,
but not implemented!

[beny]

hi, you have also this package cryptsetup on system, all i have read for this issue is install the libblockdev-crypto and restart udisk2

[funghost]

Thanks for your help beny
I also found the same information on the net
I hope this will be fixed on the next version of Porteus

Could be.
But the audio output is working just fine.
