slacko-6.0 beta 2

[SFR]

Me too, here's the shot.

[later]
From what I've seen in init, loading the additional SFS files starts from /dev/loop4, so I think it's in conflict with this:

Code: Select all

mount -r -t squashfs -o noatime /dev/loop4 /pup_z

Greetings!

Noticed the download size of Slacko-5.9.2.iso is smaller than Slacko-5.9.1.iso.

Slacko-5.9.2.iso --167M

Slacko-5.9.1.iso --174M

Anything important get left out?

Why is this so big?
Firmware. I may trim that substantially -done.

What firmware did you delete?

Hi Micko, I haven't downloaded 6 yet, but still using 5.7, I noticed that your Menu icons you included in 5.7 weren't changing all the icons when I tried the different ones included. So I spent a few hours and updated Bluemoon, it works with all the Desktop/menu icons and its now 21kb compressed smaller than before, its 88kb

PS the Yasis theme has /usr/local/lib/X11/themes/yasis/shutdown24.png it should be /usr/local/lib/X11/themes/yasis/shutdown48.png It doesn't change the menu shutdown icon unless its changed from 24 to 48

You just renamed the devx, right?

I loaded the devx and used the zarfy.SlackBuild, then made a
package-zarfy-0.1.0.pet.
Unloaded the devx and rebooted because leaving it loaded creates a
kernel panic next bootup as others have reported.

Firefox runs as user spot now.

EDIT:
Here's the package-zarfy-0.1.0.pet if anyone else needs it, I copy /usr/bin/zarfy to /root/startup and it runs every bootup or whenever X is restarted to setup for 2 monitors.
EDIT:
I removed the package-zarfy-0.1.0.pet, the zarfy.SlackBuild worked for me but making it into a pet made an incomplete pet.

The zarfy.SlackBuild can be downloaded from here:

here's the stardust theme fixed. I renamed and drop what wasn't needed.

Its 5:38am I'll do the rest tomorrow if you want, Need to get some sleep

Hello!

Changing line 1651 of initrd_/init from

Code: Select all

CNTLOOP=4 ; UMNTRO=""

to

Code: Select all

CNTLOOP=5 ; UMNTRO=""

solves the problem with kernel panic for BOOTCONFIGged sfs-files. (At least for me ...)

Cheers / MHHP

[01micko]

Also, think the removal of broadcom b43 wireless firmware (and others?) is a really retrograde step as it removes one of puppy's great strengths of wifi support OOTB - does the saving of a a few mb's in the iso size really matter these days????

Firstly .. wasn't on purpose of course. included wrong tarball . I'll upload a new kernel package soon, which will have an identical set of modules but the missing firmware will be back.

Secondly... absolutely iso size is important! As James C can testify. this thing (well alpha) can run (crawl?) on an old coppermine and it is the reason i'm going no PAE. 64 bit will be a different story.

kernel panic on reboot if I install any sfs

Conflict in init. If you want to keep testing use the old init attached.. expand initrd.gz and replace init. OR try MHHP's suggestion above this post.

Something has happened to gtk since the alpha

Only thing remotely related is the removal of gtk-chtheme.. so it beats me

You just renamed the devx, right?

No, but changes are not that big in devx so a rename is safe enough, but you need to roll back init as mentioned to use it. OR, try MHHP's suggestion above.

Thanks all.

Tested with devx, libreoffice, adrv (gimp sfs renamed) and ydrv (jre by shino sfs renamed) and it all works.

[MinHundHettePerro]

Yes, I hope that small change is all that is needed.

Before, /dev/loop4 got mounted on /pup_z and the first EXTRASFS got losetup'ed on /dev/loop4 and then mounted on /pup_ro4 ...

@Mick: what about those lsmod | grep '^aufs' tests?
I don't want to make any changes to the affected scripts, until we agree which procedure should be the standard from now on.

Greetings!

2. Don't check for aufs at all (and additionaly remove all stuff related to unionfs, if we're sure the latter won't be used in the future).

Unionfs hasn't worked properly in the kernel for over 4 years. They have shifted to a userspace model.

I vote option 2.

/proc/config.gz has gone missing. CONFIG_IKCONFIG is not set. I don't *think* anything depends on it, but /etc/modules/DOTconfig is always there and /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.builtin has to be there else depmod doesn't work .. and of course it is.

I did the edit, loaded the devx and kernel source sfs with SFS-Load on-the-fly, then rebooted and everything is good.

Thanks

Ok, done.

@SFR .

The case where the user (KRG comes to mind) uses a FULL install and builds his own kernel without AUFS may be a problem.. like I said.. modules.builtin has to be there or else depmod fails.

Anyway, just seen you posted; option 2 should be good for the use case I just mentioned.

2. Don't check for aufs at all (and additionaly remove all stuff related to unionfs, if we're sure the latter won't be used in the future).

It'll be OK. But FYI, see sfs_load-2.0.8 line 1836-1839, maybe taken from somewhere Barry's code.

Code: Select all

# aufs or unionfs?
#AUFS=$(lsmod | grep -w '^aufs')
# 11 Feb 2011 v0.7: see aufs even with no module(thanks to jemimah)
[ "$(mount -t aufs)" != "" ] && AUFS=aufs || AUFS=""

It needs only for backward compatibility.

Just check all the gtkdialog libraries in 5.9.2. I may have screwed something up because their was a conflict when I merged into my local testing branch (git).

Yes, that's a good check, but academic now.

I made the pet using dir2pet on the package-zarfy directory in tmp/SBo
after renaming the directory to package-zarfy-0.1.0 (if I remember
correctly), the directory was created by the zarfy.SlackBuild
usr/share/zarfy is good on my install.

Sorry if the pet doesn't work.

[01micko]

I'm going to pull this iso from circulation and upload a new one that works

First, we have some good bugfixes that make this a real beta.

I'll provide 2 deltas, one from alpha and one from current beta.

Cheers
