boot porteus, copy all files from /home/guest to /tmp, copy all files from /home/rava to /tmp/home/guest (overwrite existing ones), rename /tmp/home/guest to /tmp/home/rava, create a module from /tmp/home/rava and put in /porteus/modules.
bash script could do it automatically after each porteus release
I dunno if technically it's a 2nd user account since ls -l lists the files from both accounts as owned by Rava </nitpicks>
(due to the fact that I put on a /etc/shadow and passwd in my local personal modules that all got loaded after the standard generic ones...)
But thanks for the heads up... I will create a script using your above; I already have a module for my personal data and settings anyway, so I put the
guest -> now rava stuff in there as well, since it's just some settings data it should not be too large anyway.
I run V08 ATM but when I startup 1.0beta next time I will check; when the bug is still there I will post the 2 lines I changed, put up the diff output and create a SP2b and upload that and share the URL incl. the md5sum.
Written after 21 hour 48 minutes 16 seconds:
Good news: a SP2b is not needed, I checked the activate in SP2 and that seems not to have the same errors than the one from SP1...

But now my current list with errors and possible bugs in 1.0beta:
My old hack to get the drive Porteus used for booting not works anymore:
Code: Select all
# holds SLAX device, like sda1, or sdb1 if started from USB stick with one SATA disk available, or even another with even more SATA drives...
SLAXDEV=$(/bin/grep "data from" /mnt/live/var/log/livedbg|cut -b 30-38)
# will give /mnt/sda1 or /mnt/hda5, might give /mnt/sdb/ if weird USB stick is the one SLAX starts from.
export SLAXDEV
#echo SLAXDEV=$SLAXDEV # debug
What would be the new hack?
also lxde won't start.
kde is started via startx. I used the cheatcode "lxde" at bootup.
Starting startlxde gives me
Code: Select all
rava@porteus:/mnt$ startlxde
/bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (de_DE.utf8)
cp: cannot stat `/usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm/LXDE.conf': No such file or directory

Seems the cheatcode "lxde" is not really working well when you also use the
autoexec=telinit~3 boot parameter.
It is also needed to fix this:
Code: Select all
cd /etc/X11/xinit/
rm xinitrc
ln -s xinitrc.lxde xinitrc
Verfasst
Leafpad e.g. gives me
Code: Select all
Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
The bash / sh gives me
Code: Select all
/bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (de_DE.utf8)
I used like fanthom told me the converted to xzm 060-locales-de_DE.utf8.xzm from V08, but that also seems broken with 1.0 beta...

About Firefox:
Its version name should be included with the module, since the current version already is 3.6.16 while the current Porteus one is 3.6.14.
Now it sure has not my essential plugins: Lastpass, Adblock Plus and NoScript installed, also the UK spelling and the German Spelling.
Instead it got the US spelling and it got FlashGot and AutoFill installed...
Now I think we should discuss here which plugins there should be installed for all users. I even suggest we should strip down the FFx to remove the US spelling since some - like me - prefer the UK spelling to the US, and it is weird to have the best compressing module subsystem in Porteus while on the other hand installing stuff by default not all users wish.
At least I never found a discussion in here that most people want FlashGot and AutoFill, especially when you use LastPass you want Lastpass to autofill any login names and passwords anyway and not some less secure software. (The FFx password vailt is disabled on my FFx as well...)
