SOLVED: Activate module cheatcode

[francois]

I have read or maybe dreamed about an activate cheatcode for module (to be put into the booloader instructions). I think that fanthom just issued it recently. Does someone knows what it is?

Sorry that google friend could not answer my quest.

not really sure what you mean but probably you could use 'load=' 'extramod=' or 'cliexec=/guiexec=' cheatcodes.

Yes I was going to say you probably dreamed of the load= cheatcode. If this is true then please seek help.

please seek help

@brokenman: I appreciate your comment, this is what I needed to have the sufficient introspection to take care about it. I will be ok. Unless, you predict very bad worschach interpretation on my part. However, dreaming about cheatcodes is not as serious as dreaming about mate or porteus. Which I strongly suspect in your case.

On the more serious aspect of the provided answers:

not really sure what you mean but probably you could use 'load=' 'extramod=' or 'cliexec=/guiexec=' cheatcodes.

These were what I was looking for: load and extramod cheatcodes. Quite handy functions. However, they do not exactly fit the use I thought or dreamed about , there is no unload function included into them. Would it be difficult to implement a noload module cheatcode ? This would be a way to remove one or more modules that could be malfunctioning without having to reboot the system. Just tell me if I seem too lazy just because I do not want to reboot the system.

not sure if you are joking but this cheat is there since we started this project:

Code: Select all

noload=module
noload=module[1];module[n]

   ... Disable loading of any modules specified. This affects all the
       modules on the Porteus booting mendia, including /base and /modules
       folders, so using noload=kde will disable loading of all modules
       with 'kde' in the name. It is useful with the copy2ram cheatcode,
       because any un-used module is not copied to ram.  Multiple modules
       can be listed, but they must be separated by semicolons, with no
       spaces.
       Example: 'noload=lxde;devel' will prevent the loading of any
       modules with a name containing the strings 'lxde' or 'devel'

please read all the documentation mentioned in the forum header.

Thanks fanthom. This is exactly what I was looking for. I never had to use the noload cheatcode.

I made this thread to find an answer to phhpro on the chat. I will revise the cheat codes list and definition. We have a lot for porteus, its one of its distinctive features.

Conclusion: whatever manipulation to the system you want to do, have a look into the cheatcodes list and definition n in the /boot/doc folder.

Thanks a lot.
