Transporting Porteus
All desktop versions ....
Both fat32 and ext3 ...
several usb sticks ...
Porteus works great on the system (~5 yr old XP)
that I downloaded and installed it with ......
BUT !
When I boot my actual target system (mini-itx atom processor)
with the sticks .....
I get a black screen with mouse arrow only.
Right click brings a menu that says porteus 2.1.1 but only the
turn off and terminal items respond ......
Slax works fine !!!
Any Insights ???????????

Re: Transporting Porteus
please check if you have:
in /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf
and
in /home/guest/.dmrc (hidden file)
i guess that you have 'Session=openbox' in .dmrc
Code: Select all
session=/usr/bin/startlxde
and
Code: Select all
[Desktop]
Session=lxde
i guess that you have 'Session=openbox' in .dmrc

Re: Transporting Porteus
Do you mean to go back to guest as user, so that the problem re-occurs ?
Then pull the usb-stick and read the files with another PC ?
As I said, it seems to be working now (root as user) .......
