TazPuppy 5.0 rc2

[perdido]

@perdido

I make a mockup test by modifying the f2fs installer script to detect hard drives instead of usb flashdrive for installing tazpuppy; suprisingly, the script works nicely and boots. Could you test this script to other usb flash drive?

Still get errors here.
I wrote just the iso image to cd disc and verified the .iso md5
then tried an install to both usb hdd & usb flash stick using .iso as source, got errors trying to boot both. Got same boot error for both.
Errors and logs next.

Error for usb hdd & usb flash stick are as follows.
Same error for both usb-hdd & usb-flash

Code: Select all

boot:
Invalid or currupt kernel image

Terminal output for install to usb hdd

Code: Select all

To have all testing procedures for the TazPuppy Beta 41 f3fs-usb-installer in one place.
Consolidation is to confirm that I have done the required system modifications just in case I missed something.

This is what I have done to prepare the TazPuppy Beta 41 for doing this testing. All md5-hash sums verified.

Installed TazPuppy Beta 41 to usb stick, it is booting from usb stick ok
Create save directory
Installed missing package f2fs-tools package
Re-installed syslinux package using this command from the terminal

Code: Select all

tazpkg -gi syslinux --forced

Verified those packages have been added.

That is all the preperation for the working TazPuppy Beta 41 I am using to run f2fs-usb-installer script.
The script has been downloaded from this thread and renamed dropping the zip extension
Then the script is made executable and copied to the working usb TazPuppy Beta 41 save directory on my boot device.
The script is launched from terminal /usr/bin/f2fs-usb-installer

Partitions on usb media I am installing to are freshly created each install attempt.
First partition is 32MB ext2 partition with boot flag set
Second partition is f2fs that uses the rest of space on usb stick

Install procedure attempted
1. Boot TazPuppy (has all updates listed above)
Login root Password root
2. Open terminal and run script /usr/bin/f2fs-usb-installer (updated to latest test script - copied to working TazPuppy Beta 41 save file /usr/bin/
3. Choose where to install to
4. Create or verify the partitions on the install-to drive/media then close GParted
5. Choose where to copy install files from (I have been using both an .iso file and install cd)
6. After install finishes copy terminal output to file (to put in thread if necessary)
7. Shut down test computer, remove all plugin media devices and try to boot newly created usb stick.
8.Report back here

let's test the bootloader first.

1. Replace the tazpuppy kernel file with kernel file of other puppies

2. Get the corresponding zdrv file of the other puppy and rename it as zdrv_tazpup_5.0.sfs and replace with existing tazpuppy zdrv file.

Then try to boot

Hi mistfire,
I will *guess* you are referring to the working install I am using since the finished product of f2fs-usb-installer has never contained a zdrv

ok I will test the bootloader of the working TazPuppy B41 I am using to run the f2fs-usb-installer script. Will use bionicpup 32-bit as donor.

.

[perdido]

Bionicpup32 kernel and zdrv booted to desktop.
All looks ok

[perdido]

Hi mistfire,
Ok since I did not believe you were talking about my working TazPuppy install

I replaced the vmlinuz and copied the zdrv from bionicpup32 to the non working usb-stick that was created with f2fs-usb-installer script.
(The non-working stick has never had a zdrv, not in any of the tests.That confused me.)

Anyways, the new kernel and zdrv (which is properly renamed) do not boot.
They give the same exact error

Code: Select all

boot:
Invalid or corrupt kernel image

[didit]

@diditt I think your appimage file was not 32-bit. Just use 64-bit kernel file and 64-bit zdrv sfs file

I also tried to run this app from slitaz-rolling-core64.and its not working.

[mistfire]

@perdido
The error on the usb installer it become more weird. Unless it was hardware related. I will try to find another usb flash drive to test this thing.

mistfire ,

if you wifi connect with
TAZPANEL, can you autoconnect
after reboot?

Notes:

-SSH works however there needs to be a utility to scan for addresses
like mpscan or arp-scan

- my wireless mouse (logitech) acts like its battery is worn out
i.e. sometimes there is no response,
however when I use the same mouse in other distros it's fine.
Does anyone else have a problem with a wireless mouse?

[zagreb999]

hi mistfire

is there any chromium 32 bit
browser ?

[don570]

How to use PScan?

PScan can be use with following options;

Example :
pscan 10.0.54.23 -p 1-65535 -n 20 -w 2000 -r -M

-p : Define port ranges
-n : Number of threads that runs ports scan
-w : Max time to wait for next port scan
-r : If you want to resolve port number to known service name e.g 53 # DNS
-M : Lookup for Mac Address.
Note : You must provide IP address to scan it. You can use nslookup or dig command line utility.

@don570

The problem here was how to integrate it on tazpanel using ajax? It seems we need to create a dedicated page for ssh written in bash cgi. However I have a very little time to do that

[don570]

I noticed that Raspberry Pi Buster Raspup has pscan included

pnetwork is used to tie into a network.
