Here is another revision of f2fs-usb-installer. Can you please test it again?

I ran the script both from the installer and from /usr/bin/ with the same result.

After closing GParted I get the "Failed to make bootable" window, then I click "Ok" and window closes.

I have linux.AppImage: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
So is it possible to run appimage files in TazPuppy ?

mistfire · #1043 Post by **mistfire** » Sat 14 Dec 2019, 11:10

@diditt AppImages supposed to be worked on TazPuppy. Just chmod +x the appimage file. Make sure that the appimage file was compatible on kernel arch. Based on your appimage error message, I think your appimage file was not 32-bit. Just use 64-bit kernel file and 64-bit zdrv sfs file

Could you please try this another f2fs-usb-installer script. This time launched it from terminal. Also I disabled boot flag detection.

In fatdog64 I am able to run KRITA paint program appimage
with a special command.
(Otherwise wrong version of QT is loaded)

I can launch KRITA paint program this way

Code: Select all

LD_LIBRARY_PATH= ./krita-4.1.7-x86_64.appimage

Thanks @perdido. I found now the root cause of the problem.
based on your terminal output. I will try to send the revised script within 24-48 hrs.

mistfire · #1048 Post by **mistfire** » Mon 16 Dec 2019, 04:13

@perdido could you please test this f2fs-installer script? I fixed the syslinux folder detection. Just launch it from the terminal to see any error messages

The new script went farther until some different errors.

The output from terminal is at bottom of post
It is easier to post pics than try to explain with words

Launched script from terminal. Chose usb device to intstall to.

Opens GParted

Partitions are present with boot flag

Close GParted, Choose Frugal Install

Choose where puppy files are to install from

After click "OK" files install

After files install, choose how installation will run.
I choose "YES"

After a few minutes I get "failed to edit initrd.xz" window

After that I click "OK" and script exits.
The output from the terminal follows

The next install attempt will represent the same type of install except I will choose "NO" in f2fs installer - choice window .

There was a different error when I choose "NO" at the following window.

The next f2fs-usb-installer attempt - all choices remained exactly the same as previous post until the following window where I choose "NO"
(I chose "Yes" in previous post)

After that choice finishes, the f2fs Installer window indicates "Everything looks good", I click "OK" and installer closes.

Next I unmount and shutdown computer for a reboot with the newly made usb

I get the following error when trying to boot this usb stick

Code: Select all

boot:
Could not find kernel image: /vesamenu.c32

@perdido

Almost there. The usb was bootable but the generated configuration file had a problem. I will try to fix the script

mistfire · #1054 Post by **mistfire** » Tue 17 Dec 2019, 14:28

@perdido

Here is the revised f2fs-installer script. It was almost a major overhaul to the script.

But before you run this. Reinstall the syslinux package using this command on terminal:

Code: Select all

tazpkg -gi syslinux --forced

(Take note: The next TazPuppy release will have a properly installed syslinux package)

Just launch this script from terminal and show me the terminal outputs.

Updated syslinux via terminal.
Verified new syslinux is installed using Package Manager.
Rebooted, logged in as root/root
Opened Package Manager from menu
Package manager will not allow me to login after syslinux update
Reboot & try again, nope will not allow login.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
New script did not run. tried 3 different terminal programs with same result. Also would not run from install program.

@mistfire
Should the sources on CD used during f2fs-usb-installer testing need to be updated with the new syslinux package?
So far I have been using only the TazPuppy Beta41 burned to CD as source files for copying to the usb stick.
I can update them if needed.

tom22251 · #1057 Post by **tom22251** » Tue 17 Dec 2019, 20:52

@perdido

Try "#!/bin/sh" NOT "#!/bin/bash"

if i remember well, taz doesn't like bash,
only ash.

When you are booting tazpuppy beta 41 in pristine state. You have to update the syslinux package first. Please try this script again. Launch on the terminal. I fixed the syntax error on the script. Were getting closer to a working script

I booted from usb stick with fsfs-tools and syslinux forced-update packages added.
This boot is from a usb stick, same as all my other f2fs-usb-installer reports.

The install files "where to install from" I chose CD, it is the TazPuppy Beta 41 iso burned to CD, there are no updates applied.

After the f2fs-usb-installer finishes with no errors I shut down and try booting with the newly created usb install.
The stick does not boot. The message on the screen

boot:
Invalid or corrupt kernel image
