Porteus-v3.2rc4 bug reports

[Ed_P]

Ed_P I understand that this is a problem that occurred with more than one user. Without log info there is little I can do to see why.

Any particular log you're interested in seeing?

[burdi01]

To remove desktop icons open dconf-editor in applications --> system tools and select:
Its in org -> mate -> desktop -> background -> show-desktop-icons

That removes all desktop icons instead of just the mounted devices ones.

Thanks Ed_P. I don't remember the other user with the same problem. Are they also using a machine with RADEON graphics?

Can you please let me know which kernel driver you are using: lspci -k | egrep -A1 "AMD|RADEON"

I used NVIDIA video card on the old PC configuration and had trouble with missing wallpaper.
On a new PC configuration with AMD Radeon video card I have this bug too

francois, any news about a new printing module for Porteus 3.2?

brokenman, I done a new version Evo-Vertex-only.xzm
- fixed active and inactive windows (was not clear what window is active or inactive)
- white color was changed on a blue color when you are renaming file(s)/folder(s)

I have two questions for you. I can compress svg files - it will be ultra optimization of Evo-Vertex theme.
It is worth it if I will do this? Do you plan to add Evo-Vertex theme to Porteus 3.2?

64 Bit KDE & 64 Bit Cinnamon (Both using Nvidia driver)
Under KDE the VLC player is perfectly well behaved, closes without problem, and the whole VLC bundle deactivates nicely. Cinnamon however shows a new symptom, and this is repeatable. After the GUI come up, Ctl+O does not bring up Open Dialog, but instead turns window grey. Cinnamon crashes or aborts. Recovery possible thru startx. Extract from a log:

32 & 64 Bit Cinnamon (No Nvidia driver)
Both can open and play, but closing causes Cinnamon crash or abort. Recovery possible thru startx.

Have you tried using a different theme Bogomips?

No change. If this is what is meant by a different theme:

[brokenman]

Thanks guys. Looks like we can rule out video card for the missing wallpaper problem. Bogomips I will tackle the vlc problem next. Probably this weekend.

[Blaze]

I done compression of svg files for Evo-Vertex-only theme.
A new size 1.5 Mb. Download Evo-Vertex-only.xzm

Cinnamon x86_64

I can't create icons at the desktop of Cinnamon.
But icons are present at the /root/Desktop directory.

Where did you get the wallpaper you use cause I like it to use with Mate. Can I have the link? I know this is off topic.

[Blaze]

A little old bug with load, noload cheatcodes, example:
noload=003 load=00 should load 000, 001 and 002 but loads also 003.

Cinnamon 32 Bit

Confirming two Issues concerning running with changes file, previously reported on rc4:

• Login Dialog on blotchy Pink Background Looping.
  • Been running smoothly using changes, and here am not sure if it was the change to changes=EXIT or redirecting /tmp to a real filesystem which was the cause of

    Code: Select all

    guest@porteus:~$ ls -ld /home/guest/
    drwxr-xr-x 39 root root 60 Aug 18  2016 /home/guest//

    guest@porteus:~$ ls -ld /home/guest/
    drwxr-xr-x 39 guest users 60 Aug 18  2016 /home/guest//                  

    fixed in test mode before init 4
  • Fix for GUI applied in cliexec:

    However do get Cinnamon multi-line notification which disappears before one can manage to read the first line.
• Date & Time Probably also comes with the territory, as had no cause to notice this before when running with simple changes
  • Time remains stuck on utc. Setting to Network Time has no effect, and

    Code: Select all

    sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London  /etc/localtime

    also no effect, although works perfectly well when running without changes.
  • Fixed by setting system time from h/w clock, as noticed h/w clock on local time:
