PorteuX 0.8 has been released

[porteux]

@roadie, the .cache folder is now properly fixed/removed. It turns out that we were starting NetworkManager in a really old way.

And, yes these old scripts need to be rewritten. I did it for makeinitrd, but I didn't have time/energy to do the same for mloop.

hi roadie this is the mloop modified in porteux take a look if work for you,backup the old one and run the new

And, yes these old scripts need to be rewritten. I did it for makeinitrd, but I didn't have time/energy to do the same for mloop.

I'm wondering what you changed as I edited /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager at line 36, but it made no difference. I even removed it completely with the same result.

Thanks beny, I have it working here.

[porteux]

Give it a try (it's the current version) and let me know:

Yes, working fine here, it's nice to not see that offensive folder without running /etc/rc.d/rc.local. I'm finding too that lxdm is behaving much better with my video card lately. On previous versions of PorteuX, I had to replace lxdm with slim to have a decent boot time. Both v0.7 and v0.8 are booting as fast as my rebuilds with slim.

[seed_clapper]

mpv 0.37.0 was released https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/releases/tag/v0.37.0
There are new quality profiles https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commi ... c0fff476a7
- fast (similar to "default" in mpv 0.36.0)
- default (uses more gpu, close to old "gpu-hq" profile)
- high-quality

@porteux what do you think about this change? If PorteuX is meant to run on any hardware (even ten year old ones) then you should probably switch mpv settings to fast profile. Otherwise I do not think that many people with good/new PC will even notice increase in gpu usage.

[Ed_P]

I found in the PorteuX Apps menu KeePassXC. Curious of it's capabilities and how it would compare to the Porteus modules I downloaded it, created a module, and found it executes bash to read a file that is not a readable text file! I thought bash was a scripting language by definition so surprised to see I can't read it and that bash executes AppImage files.

I also found it can't be started with my existing kdbx file.

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ sh -c /opt/keepassxc/keepassxc-2.7.6-x86_64.AppImage /mnt/$DRV/Users/EdPs/My?Utilities/KeePassX/KeePass.kdbx
guest@porteus:~$ su
Password: 
root@porteus:/home/guest# sh -c /opt/keepassxc/keepassxc-2.7.6-x86_64.AppImage /mnt/$DRV/Users/EdPs/My?Utilities/KeePassX/KeePass.kdbx
QStandardPaths: runtime directory '/run/user/1000' is not owned by UID 0, but a directory permissions 0700 owned by UID 1000 GID 100

My kdbx file is on a NTFS drive and is usable by KeePassX apps on Windows and Porteus 5.1 when I start them there.

[porteux]

@seed_clapper, thanks!

I'm willing to use the default option and if someone struggles to run anything we can think about it.

Wanna give it a try?

https://www.mediafire.com/file/aa65lwzw ... ed-mpv.xzm

Better to use it with the base modules (0.9 alpha) I posted above, without the xtra module of course.

[Ed_P]

I tried using the keepassx module from Porteus 5.1 and got this:

Code: Select all

guest@porteux:/mnt/nvme0n1p7/porteux/Guest$ keepassx /mnt/$DRV/Users/EdPs/My?Utilities/KeePassX/KeePass.kdbx
Unable to load library icui18n "Cannot load library icui18n: (icui18n: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)" 
QGtkStyle could not resolve GTK. Make sure you have installed the proper libraries.
guest@porteux:/mnt/nvme0n1p7/porteux/Guest$

Does PorteuX have slapt-mod?

[beny]

hi Ed_P, you don't need slapt-mod if the packages that you need are on slackware system:this link is for the 15.0
https://slackware.nl/slakfinder/index.p ... e=#results

[Ed_P]

Thank you beny.

I downloaded the top one in your link. It resulted in a 12.5 MB xzm module! And keepassx works.

[seed_clapper]

Wanna give it a try?

When double-clicking on a video file only top part of mpv window appear and then instantly disappear. Starting from terminal does the same and says "Segmentation fault".
Same result in porteux 0.8 current.

[porteux]

@seed_clapper, if booting in Always Fresh doesn't fix your issue, please paste the content of your /mnt/live/memory/images/

[beny]

hi porteux your module on porteux 0.7 work,if seed_clapper have a seg fault no way to use mpv -v option that is useful for debug? PS: would you share the 6.6 kernel config the size of your vmlinuz are interesting
