EmSee-Tahr

[musher0]

I am an extremely sensitive over-thinker, that's all! :-/

Shucks. Another one.

In answer to your question at the top of this page:

The total nope is not that total anymore. I found a way to extract partial
listings out of slocate db's.

BFN.

There is an upgrade available through quickpet. It takes the distro from 6.01/2 to 6.0.3.

There are two tahr upgrades available via quickpet.

1) update of fixes.
2) kernel-4.0.4-pae by 666philb (noticeably faster in nearly all areas!).

Teamviewer 10 not working in Tahr! Anyone got any clues?

[gcmartin]

Will EmseeTahr become an 6.0.3 ISO with latest 4.0.4 at some point?

Additional Note:
The EmSeeTahr bootsplash reflects some selections for which nothing exist (at this time) for those selections. "Tahr" is merely a 32bit PUP distro. Would, when time permits, those other entries be remove to avoid user (including myself) confusion?

Teamviewer 10 not working in Tahr! Anyone got any clues?

having wine installed messes with teamviewer (as it has its own) ... grabbing wineserver from /usr/bin and dropping it into teamviewers /opt folder over writing its own one gets it fire up ... although not sure if everything still functions

[stemsee]

In due time I will write a script to generate the correct entries for iso files, or the user can replace my generic ones with their own or original ones. Really how much confusion could there be? Try this one ... oh doesn't work. Try the other one ... oh it works. Are people walking around in a state of perpetual confusion because of it?? NO! It is a work in proogress.

Thanks @666philb I will try it. But 9 is doing a great job anyway. All other vnc servers now removed from my system. Tightvnc might have been ok, but couldn't get it to fire up!

[stemsee]

Teamviewer 10 now working.

[stemsee]

Spoke too soon!! It fires up but closes with an error when trying to connect to the pc with an android teamviewer client. Restored teamviewer 9 which works flawlessly.

[gcmartin]

Really how much confusion could there be? Try this one ...

One other option is to have the splashpage for those single boot selection open with a default selection number already present. The idea is merely to assist in making it obvious.

Just an idea. Not needing a reply.

Stemsee...

Waiting for those booting from my cellphone instructions..... Too fun a project to let go.


Thanks in advance,

From android phone, in usb settings always connect and mount as storage. Connect to your pc and copy over your EmSee-Tahr directory onto the storage (sdb1 - sdc1 whatever mounted phone), next run grub4dos, then edit menu.lst on phone storage, now run gparted and select the storage partition and get information, note the uuid and make sure it is the same in menu.lst. Close those. Finally check that the vmlinuz and initrd.gz copied over fully, check the sizes against those on pc harddrive. Next reboot and select boot menu, boot from the phone storage device ennumerated in the boot menu!

Nvidia 340.76 on Tahr 6.03

[stemsee]

To install proprietary Nvidia driver follow this guide. Assumes you already have a savefile.

First get your nvidia graphics model chip. I did 'lspci' in term and found Geforce 315M

next go to nvidia website and use their search tool.
http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk

Download the file, note the path a file name (I renamed the file to NVIDIA.run) and make executable.

Load your kernel sources sfs module

Load your devx module

Exit to prompt

At the command line prompt type
./root/Downloads/NVIDIA.run
or whatever the path is for your file.

Accept all the offers to blacklist the nouveau driver. May need to reboot here and follow previous steps, as the nvidia driver will not install if nouveau driver is anywhere in sight!

The modules will compile and then install. DO NOT ACCEPT the offer to create xorg.conf do it manually, in device card0 section change driver to nvidia. Or use xorgwizard.

Check hardinfo > display to confirm nvidia driver in use. But when X starts the nvidia splash screen is displayed.

This is what I did anyway. So if you have troubles with it, I cannot help more than this guide. I also tried on fatdog but it didn't work, having installed kernel 4.1.3-EmSee-64 . Probably due to the fact that the kernel was compiled with a different gcc version than is in the devx.

[gcmartin]

Thanks @Stemsee for this guide. I will try it.

Question

• Was this done using EmSee-Tahr's pristine kernel or with your latest when you setup nVidia?

Thanks

[stemsee]

Your question seems irrelevant ... all these kernels were built with the same devx (gcc), that is the important variable.

So my Tahr-6.0.3 is exactly the way I like it. With a truly formidable set of up-to-date apps. There is one problem which needs solving. The mimetypes have been set, and set-run-action is set, but is not effective, this opens instead, followed by the permissions setter. How to iron that out?

[gcmartin]

Would a remaster of your EmSee-Tahr 603 be available soon? I checked your opening post and did not see it. I would be interested.

And, does it have your upgrades on Slocate included? Nice work.

Thanks in advance.

I had never seen that message before, but it hints at a solution. What happens if you

Code: Select all

chmod 775 /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-types/text_plain

and reboot?
