USM bug reports

[Bogomips]

That epoc of my life has changed and now I must spend between 11pm and 3am working on it.

Couple of days a week viable, but not every weekday! Better to expend efforts in finding cushy job in academia.

Your posts to me look like a lot of aggressive complaining that users are not telepathic.

I don't hold any grudges either.

[francois]

@evan:
Please take it easy with our much appreciated and only developer. Most familiar users of the forum know how precarious is porteus situation. Though we know that, we keep being demanding.

After all, porteus 3.2.2 is there. Maybe we should move with slapt-get as an alternative solution as package manager.

It's only salix sticking at this point in time.

Have you tried a different mirror? http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 512#p53512



-edit-

Changing my slax mirror from http://salix.hostingxtreme.com to http://mirrors.xmission.com/salix solved the update hang up for me.

[donald]

Ed, thanks..

salix.hostingxtreme is down -- info at:
https://forum.salixos.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=7254

@ all
choose a different mirror in etc/usm/mirrors-salix.txt -- problem solved

[Ed_P]

Ed, thanks..

You're welcome.

@ all
choose a different mirror in etc/usm/mirrors-salix.txt -- problem solved

And for those of you using the USM GUI click on Settings in the menu then the option to Edit mirror Salix.

For those wishing to edit via terminal mode, note editing the file requires root access.

Slackonly finally updated and Kodi Krypton downloaded, but it crashes instantly upon trying to load it -- same problem with darktable. Gparted can't seem to format FAT32 partitions; it fails (not just with the failure to inform the kernel error).

[donald]

32 or 64 Bit ?

Please update your profile so one does not have to ask each time.

e.g.
Darktable (32 Bit) needs lensfun-0.3.2-i486-1_slonly.txz to work.

[rchase]

I am referring to 64-bit; I have edited my profile to reflect that. If darktable (32-bit) requires lensfun-0.3.2-i486-1_slonly.txz, is that not a dependency that USM would resolve on its own? I would like to get some basic image editing software and Kodi Krypton running on 3.2.2; any insight you can offer on how to proceed (since the modules produced by USM do not work) would be appreciated.

[Bogomips]

^ This does not seem to be a bug report. Please start topic under Intermediate/Advanced or Newbie secition outlining your difficulty in greater detail. Always do provide as much detail as possible.

[donald]

^
Yep -- cut it out and give it a new title / category

USM LIBS.TXT - slackonly
Right now, there is a mismatch, LIBS.TXT refers to darktable-2.2.4,
whereas the file on the server is darktable-2.2.5

change this, -- /var/usm/slackonly/LIBS.TXT --, or wait till it has been changed,
to avoid the FATAL LIBS.TXT error.

[Bogomips]

^ Or could temporise with the fix provided here: http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=140&t=6966

[Bogomips]

Tried 3 or 4 different slackware mirrors. All with same outcome:
