another weird usm bug: # usm -g ansible You need the following programs to continue: installpkg removepkg but they are there: # find / -xdev -name '*installpkg*' /sbin/installpkg # find / -xdev -name '*removepkg*' /sbin/removepkg The error is due to /sbin is not in my PATH (so easy to solve ;). The ...

In the code example, failure of awk resulted in irrecoverable error, as a result of which the repository name was not formed, ie.e. left at null. So looking for /etc/usm/mirrors-$repo.txt, where $repo is ''. :) Resolved problem for mytself (test for error made, and then attempt to recover heuristic...

@ port There is (was?) a mismatch between the file on the server and your /var/usm/slackonly/PACKAGES.TXT as you can see, the file on the server is ansible-2.1.2.0-x86_64- 2 _slonly.txz whereas the PACKAGES:TXT shows ansible-2.1.2.0-x86_64- 1 _slonly.txz 2 options: wait until it is fixed ( usm -u s...

port , how about to try this tweak in terminal? su toor echo "options snd-hda-intel index=1,0" > /etc/modprobe.d/50-alsa.conf reboot I've done your tweak (the Media/Soundcard content prior posted is after doing your tweak), now it is a /etc/modprobe.d/50-alsa.conf and sound seems to be ok because I...

Please boot Porteus and then generate an information file using the Porteus Settings Centre. Allow it to be uploaded to pastebin and then link to it from here. Thanks. I go to Porteus Settings Centre and choose "open the system information screen" aka the yellow star, then push the button "Dump ful...

I have a recurrent bug with usm, sometimes it download a package as a 0 bytes archive, even when it is not zero. For example: # usm -i ansible Package: ansible-2.1.2.0-x86_64-2_slonly.txz (2328 K) [installed] ansible: ansible (a ssh-based config management framework) ansible: ansible: A radically si...

http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=3186 The slacky mirror is not responding so now. I have updated to fix this. I have the same problem (hanging out with salix database) using usm 3.2.0 # usm -v You are using USM version: 3.2.0 # usm -u all Starting slackware database update Downloading...

This is a sound bug or misconfiguration. I'm using Porteus KDE 3.2.2 and I have no sound at all even when I have a sound card (only one) Relevant dmesg lines are: [ 0.264565] ALSA device list: [ 0.264566] No soundcards found. ...

In this line      echo "$(echo "scale=2; $(du -s ${Choix[$choix] | cut -f 1) / $T * 100" |bc)"  is missing } right, thanks, already fixed in my post I fixed trouble with not correct usb flash drive size in column. What I have now What's your fix? as far as I see it's the same code fragment I post (...

I found some time and tweak script for it In my opinion there's a problem with this fragment of code: # Loop of copy with progress bar # ------------------------------ i=0 l=0 fictemp=$(mktemp) taille=`fdisk -s "$NomIso"` (while [ $l -lt $taille ]; do echo "mloop $NomIso && rsync -a /mnt/loop/* ${C...

But this approach doesn't stop someone, including the owner of the USB drive, from accidently deleting a file or two off the drive. A thing not possible with a CD/DVD disc or the USB drives created with the isousb app. Would the USB drive be bootable with your approach port ? I'm missing something ...

All those iso images are OS images and yes they are bootable but they are not an ISO 9660 fs but an extension probably "El Torito" extension just to make it bootable, OK. FWIW This is the code I use to use to make BartPE ISOs. mkisofs.exe -iso-level 4 -volid "BartPE" -b bootsect.bin -no-emul-boot -...

I thought that this tool transfer all data to USB stick and don't touch current file system and probably makes bootable USB stick. Plus I can work with these data - I mean rwx :) the better and simple way to achieve this is simply mount iso image file and the copy content to usb drive, something li...

if your main interest is just backup CD/DVD discs the better way is to make it iso files and save them all into usb drive, the only drawback is if you want to boot from them, i.e. if you have a LiveCD you want to backup while still being useful, in this case use hybrid ISO I boot standard ISO files...

hmmm... An interesting point. You have no more discs, or you have a bunch of discs and a new pc which doesn't have a CD/DVD drive so you want to backup the discs to USB drives. Either situation seems reasonable. if your main interest is just backup CD/DVD discs the better way is to make it iso file...
