Kernel module blacklist
Hello.
I install Quirky 6.1.2 on panel computer. It's great distr! Almost everything is working well.
Forgive if my question seems to you silly.
I don't want to load some modules for more quick boot (for example all modules snd*, battery and some others).
I try to add its modules in BootManager to blacklist, reboot PC, but lsmod shows its in memory. Nonetheless these modules is listed in files /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG.
I can unload these modules with rmmod and load again with modprobe without any problems.
I think blacklist isn't work properly. May be I do something wrong or need to do something else?

Goat OS?
Aries OS?
Tahr OS?
or simply GNUIRKY ???

Will there be a new devx for 6.1.3?
With such a smal change in Quirky, I would think not.

Hi Don,
I installed your Cinelerra package and dependencies on Quirky 6.1.3. It looks cool but the stop, forward and back buttons in the bottom left window were giving me issues. Is this supposed to happen? I didn't read the instructions.
Best,
Charles Slavvo67

Re: My report on Quirky 6.0
Billtoo, have you considered running openelec (a lean version of xbmc) vs xbmc on wine/quirky? I multi-boot openelec off of the same Quirky 6 USB stick with Precise 5.7.1 in it as well. Openelec runs lightning fast because it is running native on bare metal in RAM. It is also super easy to install - just put 2 small files (kernel and system) in the boot partition, create an ext4 partition for config/data, and add a syslinux entry - a somewhat similar approach to puppy's (except Quirky 6). Update is automatic as well.Billtoo wrote: XBMC running under wine works well with the proprietary nvidia driver installed.

EDIT:
I downloaded the stable image and have it working on my Acer Revo nettop, seems to be working fine so far, may need to upgrade my monthly download limit.

I found a package of cinelerra 4.2 that works in Quirky6 and
many other Puppies. It's a very powerful video editor.

A question about the Snapshot backup.
So the snapshot is taken on the same USB that has your system so if the USB blows up, so goes your snapshot. No?
I know the snapshot is under /audit/snapshots in an SFS file. I guess that I can copy it somewhere and if the USB goes, I can reinstall and move my copy of the snapshot over?
I also noticed that some installed .pet packages were converted to .SFS packages under the /audit directory. My guess is they are needed to complete the snapshot? I know that Barry is still working on this but I'm wondering if anyone has additional insight on this...
Best regards,
Slavvo67

Hi slavvo67 et al,
I copy and paste (or move) the "audit" folder from my Flash Stick to my Hard Drive. See Note 1.
Now I can copy/move any such audit folder to any Flash Stick with at least Quirky 6.1 [so the Snapshot facility is available and in my case made with an identical 8 GB f2fs format] to recover an exact replica (including all formatting such as language, time and screen resolution; plus all tweaks and installed pets and upgrades - to 6.1.3 at this time).
Notes
(1) It never seems to be reused, so I have not found it necessary to save any sfs upgrade file made from its corresponding pet.
(2) I can use any 8 GB (or larger) Flash Stick for the replica. If 16 GB or greater I can format a third partition (e.g. ext4) to use the remaining space (except perhaps for 1 MB).
(3) I always use "1" as my snapshot setting. So that my transferred "audit" folders are effectively mirrors from different dates, times and even sticks. I make "yymmdd" directories to hold the audits - adding "fm xyz to xyz" as I have three similar Quirky Flash Sticks.
(4) With two or more Flash Sticks, try deleting any subsisting "audit" folder and recover by copying and pasting any "audit" folder from the Hard Drive (or elsewhere located) backup collection. Then Recover that snapshot.

Problems with xorgwizard
Hello,
I used install-quirky-to-partition and quirky-6.1.3.usfs.xz to make a full install of quirky to an ext2 HD partition. The fresh install takes me to a black screen and requires hard reboot. With qfix=nox, boots fast up to prompt. If I run xorgwizard and choose vesa/640x480 I can get to gui, although the "test X now" step takes about 20 seconds. From gui, resolution changer has no other options. Any other choices at xorgwizard (including "NOTHING: let xorg choose") lead either to error messages such as "no screens found(EE)" or black screen.
I'd like to get past this and give Quirky a try. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Yes, you can make a copy of the snaphot elsewhere, if you want.slavvo67 wrote:All:

When the Package Manager installs a package, a <packagename>DEPOSED.sfs file is created. This only has previous files that got overwritten when the package got installed. These SFSs are used by the Package Manager when a package is uninstalled, to restore the system, so the system cannot be broken by uninstalling any package.
Those SFSs have nothing to do with the snapshots. Snapshots are just that, a snapshot of the entire system.

This is a post for the woof-CE guys. I posted earlier in this thread about a patch for Woof that changes the wallpaper mechanism -- I sent a pm to 01micko about that.
Now, another one. I have fixed the multi-architecture symlinks problem with Debian, Ubuntu, and many other mainstream distros, see my blog post:
http://bkhome.org/news/?viewDetailed=00045
What needs to be changed in woof-CE are the files in the attached tarball.
That is, all of the 'FIXUPHACK' scripts in the templates, and '2createpackages' and '3builddistro'.
However, don't just replace those scripts in woof-CE, as I have made some other changes for Quirky. You will need to examine my recent changes to the scripts, dated 140116 - 1401018, related to multiarch dirs, and merge those into woof-CE.
Another change needed is usr/local/petget/installpkg.sh in woof-CE. I have not provided my script as it is very heavily modified for Quirky.
The change required in woof-CE is to find the section of code after package installation, where the multiarch-dir-symlinks get restored if necessary -- and put a test around that code:
The variable DISTRO_ARCHDIR_SYMLINKS is created by 2createpackages in file DISTRO_SPECS.
I will send a pm to 01micko about this.
EDIT Jan. 20:
Another change is required, see my comment posted here, regarding 'merge2out' script:
