but every time when i start system - KDE crash ( many times , many variants cheatcode 'changes' ) . where the error ? When can't find file - OK , says can't find location and loading "Always fresh" - no my settings and work fine . When KDE crash ( freeze ) twice Ctrl+Alt+Del -> root console . write "startX" and report Error . Remove tmp/.X0-lock and start again . Follow instruction and .... other error What i wrong

2. Can't start Ktorrent .
Download from this site Ktorrent put in folder - OK . Click link with torrent - download . When click file - report "Can't lauch /usr/bin/ktorrent " ?
When start app from submenu "Internet" - icon jump 1-2 second ... hide and nothing

3 . Can i start x32 and x64 version Porteus in same Flash drive , same partition - without make 2 partitions ( like a universal Porteus ) .

4. Where find manual a clamav ( standart command no work ) , and why can't work - dowloaded from this site .

1. I think your save file is corrupted.
Personally I'd create it anew (but I use custom module to store changes)...
Added: Forgot to add... I've noticed that new Porteus mounts its boot partition to /mnt/live/mnt/sdb instead of /mnt/sdb

2. Can you post a link? Probably you're using 32 bit module?
If that's not the case, then try to run ktorrent from console and post output here...

3. Yes. You can have many different versions on one partition, just remember that (as far as I know) different versions require different "vmlinuz" and "initrd.xz"
But if you're planning to do so it won't be wise if you have no idea what you're doing.
Here's my test porteus.cfg sample:

4. I can't understand what you're trying to say. Sorry...

[Ahau]

Welcome, alchimik!

1) In your porteus.cfg, you are pointing to /mnt/sdb/porteus/0.dat. Is that the correct path to the file? Boot into 'Always Fresh' mode and check that path and file. You should have a number for the partition (right now, you have the device but not the partition listed) for example: /mnt/sdb1/porteus/0.dat, or /mnt/sdb2/porteus/0.dat. If adding the number doesn't help, please let us know how large (how many megabytes) 0.dat is -- if it is too small, it may fill up with data before KDE can finish loading, and that will cause errors. I agree with Kriss, it may be a good idea to create a new one.

2) Ktorrent is probably missing a dependency -- as Kriss suggested, try running it from a console and let us know the output (it should tell you the missing library).

3) Again, Kriss is correct, this can be done. See this doc for more information, and let us know if you have more questions: http://porteus.org/info/docs/37-install ... ition.html

4) I don't use ClamAV, but I have found some documentation for it, perhaps this is helpful?
http://www.clamav.net/doc/latest/clamdoc.pdf
http://linux.die.net/man/8/clamd
http://linux.die.net/man/1/clamdscan

For Ktorrent and ClamAV, please provide links to the locations from which you downloaded them. Or, if you downloaded them through the Porteus Package Manager, let us know that and I'll do some testing. I think you need to activate the modules through PPM in order to activate dependencies as well.

Cheers!

[Kriss]

Edited my post with a bit of obsevation...

[alchimik]

So sorry for my late answer .

I find right path cheatcode in porteus.cfg - relative changes=/porteus/my.dat and changes=/mnt/sdb/porteus/my.dat ( dolphin manager preview ) - work but ...

try size 64 , 128 , 256 , 512 MB - same result - not remember settings :-(

the location where download package ktorrent and clamav is : http://www.ponce.cc/porteus/x86_64/modules/

This is snapshot for problem with him [img=http://lzw.hit.bg/temp/snapshot1.png]Click[/img]

[fanthom]

hello alchimik,

try to use 1GB .dat file as 512MB may be not enough for KDE-4.
please use changes= cheatcode and boot Porteus, then run 'psinfo' tool and upload log file (will be placed on your desktop) to pastebin.com
please post a link to it in this thread.
log file will help up debugging KDE-4 startup issues.

[Kriss]

2.
Ktorrent requires:
libktorrent-1.0.5_3-x86_64-1.xzm
nepomuk-4.6.4-x86_64-1ftm.xzm
soprano-2.6.0-x86_64-1ftm.xzm
They can be found here:
http://www.ponce.cc/porteus/x86_64/modules/libraries/

Many packages have some other packages they depend upon, so expect something like this in the future.
Just open console and execute program from there (like you typed "ktorrent") and look for output.
If it says that there's missing library or some other file, then google for it to understand what package it's in.
Then download that package, from Ponce's site (Porteus packages) or from some other distro.
If you downloaded files from other distro then use scripts to convert it to xzm (like deb2xzm txz2xzm or others) and activate them.

No needs to use google for this.

Uses slackyd -d to resolve deps.
