Porteus 3.0 final feedback
Re: Porteus 3.0 final feedback
More feedback:
a) New TigerVNC 1.3.x needs a new command line so it will not resize the specified geometry settings:
vncserver -geometry 1280x1024 -extension RANDR
(The "-extension RANDR" is new and important)
b) Unfortunately, SABNZBD crashes now, and I do not know just what to do; he complains about md5 being deprecated:
bash-4.2$ /usr/local/src/SABnzbd-0.7.16/cherrypy/lib/cptools.py:8: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
from md5 import new as md5

Any help with that one would be greatly appreciated!!

Re: Porteus 3.0 final feedback
I noticed that Porteus 3.0 sometimes calls the first ethernetcard "eth0", sometimes he calls it "eth1".
you must have 2 NICs in your PC so please run 'lspci -knn' and find drivers which supports them. now blacklist one which supposed to be eth1 and then load it with modprobe through rc.local (if you really need second NIC active).
Unfortunately, SABNZBD crashes now
do you have your python module up to date? python-2.7.5 is what we use in slackware-14.1/Porteus-3.x

Re: Porteus 3.0 final feedback
a) Yes I need both cards, for forwarding some local traffic from one net to another; where and how to blacklist?
Both cards are on the motherboard and are, essentially, the same chipset (Realtek RTL 81xx something)........ !
b)Yes I use the same "python" that comes with the Porteus package.

Re: Porteus 3.0 final feedback
The AMD Catalyst driver at
http://ponce.cc/porteus/x86_64/current/ ... 4-1ftm.xzm
does not seem to be working correctly with Porteus 3.0 final. The following error appears in Xorg.0.log:
However, when I compile driver 14.3 from the AMD download page, the driver loads correctly. It also worked with 3.0-rc1 and Catalyst 13.12. I suspect the driver module was not compiled against the kernel of the final version of Porteus 3.0. Can anyone verify this?

Re: Porteus 3.0 final feedback
@yohap
could be a driver fault or there is something on your side (maybe you are still booting from rc2 kernel)? please generate xpsinfo report and link here.
thanks

Re: Porteus 3.0 final feedback
@yohap
this thread suggest that it could be really a kernel mismatch:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=156665
so tomorrow i'll rebuild this module or even bump to 14.3
EDIT:
please test updated modules before i push them on the server:
http://dl.porteus.org/i486/testing/amd- ... 6-1ftm.xzm
http://dl.porteus.org/x86_64/testing/am ... 4-1ftm.xzm

Re: Porteus 3.0 final feedback
@yohap
thanks - removed old drivers.
@cttan
i think this is ok as i never created this db and rather wont do as per different modules which can be included in the ISO.

Re: Porteus 3.0 final feedback
You need to update so that slocate gets to know what files you have on the computer. If you plug a usb key or create new files and want to search them once more you have to do:cttan wrote: I ran locate -u and after that able to use as per normal.

slocate -u

Re: Porteus 3.0 final feedback
simplescreenrecorder does not run in RazorQt.
The advanced option of gtk-recordMyDesktop does not work in RazorQt.
The preset option of WinFF is confusing.

Re: Porteus 3.0 final feedback
Was anything substantial changed when it comes to sound via HDMI?
So far, on my only notebook (incl. PC) that I can currently switch onto my only HDMI monitor (my TV) end in the same with 2.1, 3.0rc1 and 3.0rc2: no sound via HDMI, not by default. (First it worked well on 2.1, but after a crash and reboot, without any changes it no longer worked...
)
I think there should be an easier way to get this running, for me hacking or creating text files is okay, but for some users that is a no go...

Re: Porteus 3.0 final feedback
you should be able to redirect sound to HDMI in Smplayer/Gnome Mplayer preferences. this is what i do myself.
not sure how to do it for firefox, audio players and whole system sounds ...
