Porteus Nemesis v3.3 BUG REPORTS

[brokenman]

@brokenman: do you have an ETA for the new Porteus-Nemesis release? Thanks

I am working on breaking up the modules and separating bare bones modules. Should be this week.

Hello guys,
And I don't find out how to solve heavy lags on mozilla firefox.

Its not fully tested but are you interested in testing a build script that will give you an unbranded firefox that does not come from pman?

Sure! Thank you for the proposal ;-)

Here is what I did to get double click working in gtk2 apps.

Code: Select all

echo "gtk-double-click-time = 1600" >> /home/guest/.gtkrc-2.0

Regarding firefox. In the next Nemesis version, pman will automatically perform some tasks when upgrading firefox. Mainly it adds the duckduckgo browser default. If there is anything important you think should be included in firefox I can put in in there.

I am too tired to troubleshoot and amend my script tonite....but on that basis I might put it on the backburner.

@kalo86
are you using the version from pman or a direct download and unpack method? No rush to reply as I am about to hit the sack

@brokenman

what are we doing with system updates?

should I run as root

Code: Select all

pacman -Syu

no rush to reply

[brokenman]

For firefox, duckduckgo requires an opensearch xml file to be placed in /usr/lib
I figured updating the browsers should be available by default. They frequently bump versions and most annoyingly flashplayer.

You can update with pacman for now. Eventually I will use ABS (is that what it's called?) to provide a more conservative update.

Hi, I'm using the pman version.

EDIT: downloading a stock version of firefox, extracting the content and running it, the lags are still there.
Watching a video on youtube, the stream is very slow with video onlg. The audio stream is good. I think the issue is related to the graphic video card driver.

Edit(2): I was right! I found out the issue and solve it downloading only the latest available driver "xf86-video-intel-1_2.99.917+478+gdf72bc5-3-x86_64" with pman, converting it into xzm and so on. Now I can browse the internet

@brokenman
pman -Syu does not work for me then. See next post

I see multiple errors....I might have to delete or move out all modules from $MODDIR to see if I have some interference or maybe its something in my changes folder

I see multiple errors about lots of files already existing and the last lines are

Code: Select all

gnome-icon-theme: /usr/share/icons/gnome/index.theme exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded

Naturally I have booted up with a changes= cheatcode as I imagine running it without it would not be fruitful.

edit ahh running the command again does show something

Code: Select all

pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
error: duplicated database entry 'python'

an update

I decided to delete all my bundles and changes and start again.

pacman -Syu works now as expected

thanks for reading

I have a bug bugging me. Please try the following:

1. Boot into text mode
2. Log in as root
3. Remove the line from /root/.bashrc that starts lxdm
4. As root type: lxdm

lxdm quits the first time but works the second time. If anyone can figure out why this is so, I am all ears. The logs show nothing interesting.

boot into text mode

How does one do that? There does not appear to be a cheatcode called textmode

I can see I might be able to try cheatcode noload=002-xorg.xzm
I shall reboot and try that....nope I get a hang.

[brokenman]

The cheatcode is simply: 3

I have made it easier in the next version with a cheatcode config file: runlevel=3

[aus9]

@brokenman
ok booted into 3 as root but no such line. Rebooted now into my changes= cheatcode and entire contents of that root bashrc file are:

# Nice colors in console
PS1='\[\e[0;31m\]\u\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;34m\]\w\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;31m\]\$\[\e[m\] \[\e[1;37m\]'

alias reboot="systemctl reboot"
alias poweroff="systemctl poweroff"
alias shutdown="systemctl poweroff"
alias halt="systemctl halt"

# Nice colors in console list
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias grep='grep --color=auto'

xargs systemctl --user set-environment < /etc/porteus.conf

and this looks like my guest file as well. But is not the same as the skeleton file sitting at /etc/skel

[brokenman]

Yeah, the line is removed on the fly when booting into runlevel 3. Sorry. Anyhow, once in 3 try starting lxdm directly. Does it quit?
