Portix Media Center

[raja]

I used syslinux version 6.04pre3. All syslinux files in /boot/syslinux and /EFI/boot should be from the same version.

Mixing up different versions will show errors like "ldlinux.c32".

e.g

1)Take a say, 8GB pendrive and format to clean the disk.
2)Make a 1GB FAT32 partition
3)Make the rest ext4 partition
If the pendrive is identified as sdb,
sdb1 will be FAT32 partition
sdb2 will be ext4 partition

4)copy boot and EFI folders from the ISO to sdb1
5)copy config and portix folders from the ISO to sdb2

6)unmount sdb
7)open terminal and give following commands

for syslinux bootloader installtion in sdb1

/dev/sdb1/boot/syslinux/syslinux -a -d /boot/syslinux/ -i /dev/sdb1

for mbr installtion, give this command,

dd bs=440 count=1 conv=notrunc if=/boot/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdb

usb disk is now ready for booting .

We should not mix up different ideas . Since the ISO works very well in your in your EFI only machines, obviously nothing is wrong with the ISO.

Same ISO works in my bios/EFI m/c and I am typing this from portix media center-v4 only, my regular OS.

ah ok , so your iso is not exactly a live cd ( for this it dont boot in virtualbox)
i will try your suggestions about to create a live usb
best reguards

Porteus Nemesis and Portix - nice work - appreciate - it help us a little up-grade with save changes menu to module ( preferable ) or file like
in Porteus 4 - also the .wine director is nice to be in a module for not increase home director - also will be nice login pasword menu at start - all the best !

I used syslinux version 6.04pre3.

Where did you get it?

[raja]

Ed_P,

MY PC download folder has this package. May be I downloaded from ,

https://www.zytor.com/pub/syslinux/Testing/6.04/

[raja]

Someone doubted that Portix media center is not a live CD ISO.

There is an option in rufus to create live cd from ISO by using "dd" command. But the USB drive will not be useful for any other purpose as dd command makes it unwritable. It is just like burning an ISO to a DVD or CD.

Thanks for review.

porteus settings centre in version 4, which makes savings module , is still work in progress for even porteus-5.0. login password...shall look into.

Thanks raja. Do you have /boot/syslinux and /EFI/syslinux folders you can share?

[raja]

Long ago, I made a request to you to test "create live usb" script modified to make FAt32 partition instead of 16 bit dos, included in "portix media centre" ISO.

The boot folder also has, "

.porteus_installer-linux.run; --installs extlinux from linux os

install-bootloader-windows; installs syslinux fron windows os

grub with grub.cfg for syslinux - shows porteus.cfg menu in grub

and

all manual commands to make bootable USB."

I tested only ISO boot from my multiboot USB drive.

Due to non availability of spare USB drive with me, I have not tested the others.

If you can download the ISO, you can have /boot/syslinux,grub and EFI folders, and can also test the others, if you have spare USB and time.

'create live usb' script, choose only 'bios'.

Thanks in advance.

Plank-0.11.89-3 for Portix Media Center

Code: Select all

[guest@porteus ~]$ su
Password: 
[porteus guest]#  glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

and start with,

Code: Select all

[guest@porteus ~]$ XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 plank

[spa_time]

All apreciation for your Portix !
Save session module menu for a changes.xzm in module folder it will be nice
A login menu at startup to choose user will be nice
Also multilib_x86_64 xzm module and wine-5.15-x86_64.xzm are not working
OpenShot-v2.6.1-x86_64.appimage is working ( is working just in Portix not in Porteus 5 and not in Nemesis )
Hope this feedback help you for a better porteus iso ! All the best !

Hello raja,

An idea, just like that. What about adding gopro quick to your portix?

Thanks.

[raja]

I don't think there is a desktop version of gopro quick for linux!
