Here's latest info, and I think it's going to be great addition
What I want to mention is new package lxrandr, graphical frontend for xrandr http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXRandR
That means changing screen resolution in a second :wink:

Super :D
Does it needs a new savefile or it can update 13.2?

There's no need for a new savefile, only iso version is changed.
Now I have to upload iso file again after discovering problem with starting network loopback
from /etc/init.d/network.
md5 files downloaded earlier are now useless, just to remind you to repeat the procedure ...

Hi simargl/simargl8,
Very glad to see that you are back with full steam :D

BTW, seems version 13.2.1 is still not uploaded to http://sourceforge.net/projects/archpup/files/13.2.1/. Found only the md5 files and the archlocale_132.sfs

Cheers.

Sim,

was wondering if there was a way the makesfs file could be modified to support multiple packages into one sfs file. presently if i do a:

Code: Select all

makesfs clementine vlc opera
the script will make 3 separate sfs files. would be nice if running that command would package all 3 into one sfs file.

I think it already does that :)
You may have to put all the packages and their dependents in one folder and then run the script, say

Code: Select all

makesfs desired_sfs_name
whilst in that folder.
I have been making large sfs modules using this and arch2sfs script. Check "help" in the menu for further clarification.
Hope this helps.

13.2.1 looks good. :D
lxrandr is a nice addition but will not stick after an X restart even if you save. I remember I had this issue with lxrandr in Slitaz too :?

Nice touch with locales too but the problem with /usr/bin/locale(def) remains. On a fresh boot (pupmode 5) I get

Code: Select all

[root@archpup ArchPup]# ls -l /usr/bin/locale*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  31860 Feb  9 10:56 /usr/bin/locale
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root   1044 Jan 27 06:31 /usr/bin/locale-gen
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 325700 Feb  9 10:56 /usr/bin/localedef
[root@archpup ArchPup]# locale -a
bash: /usr/bin/locale: No such file or directory
[root@archpup ArchPup]# localedef
bash: /usr/bin/localedef: No such file or directory
It turns out that you must have archdev.sfs loaded for locale(def) to be seen by the system.
I'm assuming it has to do with the splitting of glibc in the main sfs and the devx

Also you may want to maybe include the gettext package in archlocale.sfs. The gettext and gettext.sh included in the main sfs are not sufficient (and give a conflict when you try to install from the repo).

I also tried to get some office apps from the repo

Code: Select all

#pacman -S gnumeric abiword
.......

Total Installed Size:   281.61 MiB
:shock:
Might worth trying a recompile.

I didn't notice that /usr/bin/locale is not working without devel sfs, which is not strange
because I have it always loaded...
Output of some commands

Code: Select all

[root@archpup ~]# locale -a
bash: /usr/bin/locale: No such file or directory
[root@archpup ~]# which locale
/usr/bin/locale
[root@archpup ~]# ldd /usr/bin/locale
/usr/bin/ldd: line 102: /usr/bin/lddlibc4: No such file or directory
	not a dynamic executable
lddlibc4 is in the main SFS.
First I thought /usr/bin/locale might be python or perl script and requires them to be installed.
But it's not.
locale-gen script starts working after installing arch-dev-20130201.spkg, package that contains
development files from the main sfs.
It has 3.750 files, now only to discover which file(s) is required :roll:
I will attach files.list if you spot something let me know

3750 are rather too many.
But I looked at your arch-dev list instead.
binutils could be the one.
If not, is only 37 packages to install one at a time and check :wink:

I've found it 8) Problematic were glibc libraries, moved to /lib in main sfs otherwise system
couldn't boot, but also copied to /usr/lib in arch-dev otherwise compiling wouldn't work.
List of those files

Code: Select all

ld-2.17.so
ld-linux.so.2
libc-2.17.so
libc.so
libc.so.6
libdl-2.17.so
libdl.so
libdl.so.2
Save this to file called list, and then

Code: Select all

for i in $(cat list);do ln -s /lib/$i /usr/lib/$i;done
locale-def works, now to edit build script and test before uploading :x new iso file

There are only two libraries from systemd as Xorg links to them, but no systemd is not required.
It's show as installed, and it is in IgnorePkgs list, newer reinstall systemd cause it may (and probably will)
mess things with udev.

systemd

#31 Post by Arefacti »

thanks for your answer.
I try to obtain acpi but with a AMD processor (so, must be powernow-k8 or powernow-k7), and unfortunately all the wiki talk about systemctl to make this work.
Because certainly systemd and systemd-sysvcompat are both installed by default on installation media newer than 2012-10-13. (it is NOT a bad review for your work : it's just to explain it :wink: ).
So...I try to find !

Noticed that the 16MB libxatracker is in the base.
If I understand correctly this is used exclusively for X acceleration in VMware.
Is it really needed?

You do what? Run VMware on Archpup (needed) or run Archpup on VMware (not-needed)?
