Re: Wishlist for porteus 3.1
"hmm... i can run multiple firefoxes here. what is the manger?"
Sure multiple? Another profile (bookmarks, history, settings) in two windows or the same?
Manager is Firefox Profile Manager.

Re: Wishlist for porteus 3.1
Have Sempron, PaleMoon installer did not complain and installed. Thereafter could not open from menu bar, as caused PM abort. Then did manual install, could run YT videos but not open tabs or menu bar items without PM abort.fanthom wrote:@Rava

SeaMonkey is just about the only browser I can use on Porteus, does not have bloat of Firefox, and as well able to be kept under control. Also a mainstream browser, in that good add-on selection available. Tor browser doesn't present a problem, except at times, not being able to co-exist with SeaMonkey.

Re: Wishlist for porteus 3.1
Thanks Slaxmax. Elementary has Midori, and not too keen on it. However link proved useful, as have experienced exactly same symptoms and error messages.
So when I've worked out how to change gtk2 theme to any theme other than 'oxygen-gtk' , will give PaleMoon another shot.now use 'kde42-oxygen', but any theme other than 'oxygen-gtk' should work

Re: Wishlist for porteus 3.1
Thanks folks, I had no idea PaleMoon could be the source of so much issues since it works fine on my multi core more recent machines, and also on my one older mono core Samsung Q40 one...
...
Maybe I work on a pBuild script for creating the most recent PaleMoon / making it more easy creating it... but it seems I have to add some extra stuff since the PaleMoon tgz lacks some needed files...

Nice browser per se... but when running XFCe at least it's requirements that have to be added are way larger than the browser module itself (and when I create such a test system, I try to always minimize the dependencies...)Slaxmax wrote:Try midori browser

Re: Wishlist for porteus 3.1
It looks like adding a virtual keyboard will also have to be retracted. Adding florence pulls in 5Mb of overhead and the lighter xvxkb segfaults (at least on 64bit). Perhaps a separate module bundle containing all dependencies can be made instead.

Re: Wishlist for porteus 3.1
Another wish:
It would be nice if the extramod= cheatcode worked similar to the changes=EXIT: cheatcode in finding directories/folders.
With the changes=EXIT: cheatcode it isn't necessary to include the drive's path for it to find the file.
changes=EXIT:/porteus/changes/porteussave.dat works.
But extramod=/porteus/modules does not. It has to be specified as extramod=/mnt/sda5/porteus/modules.

Re: Wishlist for porteus 3.1
That is the intended functionality. I (for example) keep my extra modules on a separate partition. They are totally separate from the porteus partition.

Re: Wishlist for porteus 3.1
Best would be:
extramod=/porteus/modules -> expands into "/mnt/BOOTDEVICE/porteus/modules" whereas BOOTDEVICE sure is the device Port booted from, while still having
extramod=/mnt/sda5/porteus/modules
working literally as it is.

Re: Wishlist for porteus 3.1
Perhaps partition by UUID would be suitable for portability where sda5 is /mnt/sda5 is converted to UUID. This way extramod can reside on removable media and it will always be found.

yes, UUID should be supported by all cheatcodes about a file or folder...
