Porteus 5.0 RC2 bug reports

[ncmprhnsbl]

EDIT: a gtk+2 bundle for cinnamon, mate, lxqt and kde is now available (for use with programs that need it eg. palemoon)
just use the bundles app from the system menu or via terminal.. note: the integrity test will fail, due to a missing md5sum, should be safe to ignore this. hopefully will be fixed soon..
note about bundles: these were built for RC1, so, they may or may not work, will try to get these updated in the coming days..

[Blaze]

otan, can you share photo of this error from your monitor (take a picture with your phone or camera)?
Please do not use 5.1.5 and extra cheat codes. Everything is in stock.

[otan]

Blaze, there is no picture to take. It is some sort of makefile error. Maybe we have now to change the makefile in nvidia.run. Certainly there is some sort of change after 5.3.

Think maybe this is clue: https://www.nvidia.com/download/driverR ... 3832/en-us

[donald]

in /etc/rc.d/rc.Firewall i commented line 48: "#$IPTABLES -P OUTPUT DROP

Hmm..this sets the whole OUTPUT chain to ACCEPT - not a good idea imo.
Aren't the following rules useless now?
Imo it would be better to use DROP as default and add a OUTPUT/ACCEPT rule for icmp (ping)
if necessary.

and -- Firewall "block all" should block all except Browsing --

[donald]

@otan

installer version: 304.137

Do you have any new patches for the 304 driver?
Because AFAIK the 304 driver does not work with a xorg-server >1.19
Porteus 5.0rc2 has xorg-server-1.20.8-x86_64-2

[donald]

@donald:
1- it moves on my machine. Have you tried in Always Fresh?

My bad - works (again) after reboot

2- this is just the default setting. You can change the associated command in the plugin properties -> advanced tab

OK

3- this is a known little issue that is probably upstream's fault (i.e. nothing related to Porteus). Since it doesn't affect normal use, I wouldn't mind if I were you

Yep..

4- it works for me. You should try in AF. This option only enables/disables an entry in the context menu when right click on the desktop.

Again, my bad.

One thing that is different now:
(thunar) right click a file (mp4 in this case) > open with.. > custom comand (entered + make default) > did not work as it did before.
I had to manually edit the file afterwards. (/home/guest/.local/share/applications/*.desktop)

Hmm... It works for me, but in this case I haven't tried in AF. I changed the default to Celluloid (because on my machine Mpv is the default one), set as default and hit Open. It not only opened Celluloid with the selected video, but now every time I double click on a mp4 file it opens the new default. Did the same for jpg files, changing them to open on Firefox and it worked just nice.

[donald]

fulalas - ..I did it once more - to be sure...

Boot in AF
Copy a (short) video file - mp4 in my case - into Downloads
right click this file > open with.. > custom command ffplay -autoexit -nostats > check
make default > click open > nothing happens.

Open the newly created *.desktop file in /home/guest/.local/share/applications/
in mousepad.
The content looks like this:
........
Exec="ffplay -autoexit -nostats" %f
Name="ffplay -autoexit -nostats"
........

You have to remove the quotes:
Exec=ffplay -autoexit -nostats %f
now it works

and also here:
Name=ffplay
to get a cleaner context menu entry.

[fulalas]

Oh, I wasn't aware that you're using parameters. This can be tricky. Anyway, it seems this behavior is not related to Porteus, but to Xfce.

The solution for this is to use quotes when setting the custom command: "ffplay -autoexit -nostats"

[donald]

@ncmprhnsbl

Regarding ping
Revert your changes in rc.Firewall - sets the OUTPUT chain back to DROP
(toggle the firewall off/on)

now allow ping from in- to outside:
as root do

Code: Select all

iptables -A OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT

The response packets are already permitted according to an existing rule (RELATED, ESTABLISHED);
no further rule needed.

Just in case...
How to delete a rule:
iptables -L --line-numbers
iptables -D chain and line number of the rule
e.g
iptables -D OUTPUT 8
