Hi Toni,
Quote: | All information added. If you find something for changing just write what is needed.
The kernel 3.13.6 added in separate kernel post. |
Yes, can you also add it runs with systemd enabled or something like that?
Quote: | We have some issue with 2Gb limit save file GUI for porteus boot. Read the question from Tm_mT. I guess it is because vfat limit for 2Gb files but I think on vfat you can't create more than 2Gb save file anyway. Is there a reason we need this 2Gb limit in mk-save.gtkdlg?
He also gets some messages with porteus boot for improper shutdown and save file warning that I can't reproduce yet. |
The file size limit on FAT is 4GB. I didn't realize that mk-save has 2GB limit creating savefile.
Here's a way to change the max value in the script from command line:
Code: | SIZE='--field="Savefile Size MB:NUM" "200!100..2048!5"'
NEWSIZE='--field="Savefile Size MB:NUM" "200!100..4090!5"'
sed -i "s,$SIZE,$NEWSIZE,g" /opt/bin/mk-save.gtkdlg
|
New value will then be a little less then 4GB, to be safe when using on FAT.
You're right, this should be on the "fixes" list.
I can't test with kernel 3.14 now because it's PAE, but otherwise the only message I've seen was "recovering journal" when using encrypted save.
Quote: | Can you share some tips how was made this google drive setup? |
Sure, I'll explain later today with some screenshots, can I assume you have account and logged in already in google drive, so need explanation after that only?
I'll check the initrd patch within the next days.
Next time I will write first about what fix I think is needed.
In this case I thought I do the work myself because of mistake I made before, and I know it's no fun for you compressing all the initrd.xz files on your low-ram computer.
For info, what I changed in linuxrc is very simple:
Before fix: (On section: # Find modules)
Code: | # Find modules:
find $PTH $PTH/base $PTH/modules -name "*.squashfs" 2>/dev/null | egrep -v "$NOLOAD" | sort -u >/tmp/modules
find $PTH/optional -name "*.squashfs" 2>/dev/null | egrep "$LOAD" | sort >>/tmp/modules |
New:
Code: | ls $PTH/*.squashfs 2>/dev/null | egrep -v "$NOLOAD" | sort -u >/tmp/modules
find $PTH/base $PTH/modules -name "*.squashfs" 2>/dev/null | egrep -v "$NOLOAD" | sort -u >>/tmp/modules
find $PTH/optional -name "*.squashfs" 2>/dev/null | egrep "$LOAD" | sort >>/tmp/modules |
The first line searches only in /live, not in sub-directories.
The second in /live/base and /live/modules.
The third in /live/optional in case load= is specified.

Done.

I gave advice to use live-boot-2 or 3 and create the encrypted file from there. It is easier. What about if someone deside to make 8Gb or 100Mb save file?
If you fix mk-save.gtkdlg later I will add it to the fixes post for download.

There is similar message but only with encrypted save file for me about /dev/mapper/crypt not clearly unmounted and forced check. I think the shutdown script does not unmount /dev/mapper/crypt. I haven't tested OpenBox yet. Don't think it is a problem anyway.

Thank you, yes, I will use my wife's account for testing.

Hi Toni,
Here's how to make a folder in google drive behave as a webhost:
In this example from an empty google drive (I just created a new account and have 15GB again!)
Click on the red "Create" button and create a folder:
Ok, I created 'Debdog', right-click on the new folder and choose Share > Share:
New window appears, now change "Private only you can access" to "Public on the web" and click Save.
Then click Done on the previous window:
Then right-click on the new folder and choose "Details and activity" (there's also the "i" button on top right button section)
It probably opens in "Activity" so click on Detalis:
Almost at the bottom of Details under 'HOSTING' you see an https address with 'host' in it:
Now that's the host address of the new shared folder and you can make new folder or upload file inside and add /name-of-subfolder or /filename after the host address.
Btw, [img][/img] works also as you can see.
Fred

Yes, you never know what people are capable of, nearly 20Gb limit will be sufficient I think
Attached new make-save.gtkdlg and makepfile.sh, goes from 100-20000Mb.
Edit: But I don't know what happens exactly when someone tries to create for example 5Gb savefile on a FAT partition.
What do you think in general, do we need more error checking, I mean in other scripts also e.g. check for enough space or not?
Good luck with your new google drive, 15Gb is indeed a lot.
I was thinking recently to add maybe some sort of sfs-download program, would be nice to offer prefab sfs modules this way (like most puppy's have also).

I also don't think it's a problem, fsck works very well.
I often see on shutdown message about /dev/loop* not unmounted, it doesn't look nice, maybe create some script that unmounts all modules on shutdown but that won't be easy I think.

Thanks, Fred, I will add it to the fixes later tonight or tomorrow.
Quote: | What do you think in general, do we need more error checking, I mean in other scripts also e.g. check for enough space or not? |
No. I will test it on vfat when I get time for this but I prefer the scripts less complicated. And as you know we do not get much testing reports to be sure all works well after the changes.
Quote: | I was thinking recently to add maybe some sort of sfs-download program, would be nice to offer prefab sfs modules this way (like most puppy's have also). |
We can use sfs-get from Sfs. It is included in his version of DebianDog-OpenBox. I'm not sure GUI is easier than download sfs and load with right click but sfs-get is already adapted to work with DebianDog. It needs only repository change.
All kind make-it-easier-for-me utilities result in less reading and Debian needs reading and command line typing from time to time.
Quote: | maybe create some script that unmounts all modules on shutdown but that won't be easy I think. |
No, in my opinion. Not easy and we can not predict the result without much testing first.
I'm trying to be DebianDog user for a while, Fred. Let's enjoy our work and fix bugs only when needed.
Toni

Hi, Stemsee and all interested from experimental boot methods.
Some of your kernels uploaded here for puppy-initrd-boot (in case you need quick link to share them):
https://9eb8f45ca0acc9dd68fbe8a604cd7299aa432000.googledrive.com/host/0B8P7qC27sushWHg2VFB6QTRJLW8/Experimental-boot/
I can't test 64bit but I guess they will work.
Also for Puppy-Rus-A-boot but I need time for translating the boot script and adding some instruction how to use the kernels. I will get back on this when I'm ready.

Toni, Fred, Sergey, William, Sunburnt, Nooby(in absence) and all others
I want you guys to know that the work you have done and are doing is being enjoyed by: Myself and about (80 and growing) others, that are not fortunate enough to be computer literates and do have access to low cost(older)laptops etc.
My two cents is to install and maintain their systems free of charge. This effort of yours makes my task a great deal easier. So thank you all for the job well done. Keep up the good work and enjoy your well deserved holidays.
regards, Andres

Hi, Andres, glad to read DebianDog is useful for you and much more people

In case there are machines with less than 1Ghz processor and 512Mb Ram using gzip compression for the main 01-filesystem.squashfs module will speed up the system. More information here:

Stemsee, yes, Fred found great way to use google drive.

Your decision, but... do it now! it's easy once you know how.
For information: It can be done with already existing folder also, just change the permissions to public.

Yes, make me feel 40 years younger!
Seriously now, you can make new folder to use as host to share public only.

Subject description: google drive vs google host |
|
Here follow
- Alternative google hosting folder istructions...
- Simplified for EmSee and me - we share the teenager's bedroom approach to google drive
By way of a pratical example: sharing a fictitional file, EmSee's next 2GB+ EmSee3.iso release:
- Make a new folder in your google drive, right click its item line, select Shared/everyone can view and write down its sharing link. It will look something like this: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8P7qC27sushWHg2VFB6QTRJLW8&usp=sharing
- Now rewrite the sharing address as a direct link by replacing the blue part above with https://googledrive.com/host/ and dropping the red part: https://googledrive.com/host/0B8P7qC27sushWHg2VFB6QTRJLW8
- Now append the filename and you are done: https://googledrive.com/host/0B8P7qC27sushWHg2VFB6QTRJLW8/EmSee3.iso
Remarks
- You can see that the folder ID stays the same, and publishing a direct link is just a matter or re-writing the url. In fact, you could publish both urls.
- When accessing a folder/file via drive.google.com one gets the familiar google drive interface, with thumbnails, previews, and several prompts before one can download a file. (Note that the drive.google.com link to a shared file can't be derived as I showed above for a folder.)
- When accessing the file via googledrive.com one gets a file list and direct links, that is, no prompt to download the file!
- So with the googledrive.com direct link one can download the file from a script using wget, which can't be done when drive.google.com is used for the link and one has to use a web browser to download. (For instance, I can't download a file larger than 2GB from drive.google.com because my firefox drops out at the 2GB fence. But I could download the same file from googledrive.com with wget, because wget doesn't drop out after 2GB.)
- As Fred pointed out, with googledrive.com one can also append the relative path to a file in a sub-folder.
The folder ID in my examples corresponds to Toni's DebianDog backup folder.

Thank you, Step!
These google drive tips should go in special thread so more people can use them.
