SFS Installer GUI (tested on Quirky) NOV 2014 Subject description: Can uninstall via package manager |
|
Hi,
Use this first before you want to install SFS
SFS Compatibility Check
If your SFS is not compatible with your kernel you can use this first:
SFS Converter
NEW - SFS_Installer-1.0-430 - designed for 430, tested in 430prebeta.
1. Install SFS directly (useful for full hd install, but can work for frugal also)
2. Registered with new petget in 430, so can Uninstall from package manager
3. auto detect menu entry
Forum member Dejan555 I think has made a command line sfs installer..
But, I did not base my app really from his (similarity may occur, well that's how to do it! )
Feature:
- Directly install sfs
- Can uninstall from petget (registered with petget/pet package manager) - Doesn"t work with the New Upup - different menu structure
Warnings:
- Long time install for big sfs with slow machine
- Uninstalling can delete shared files/dependencies
Should work properly with 4.xx
Run fixmenus after install and restart window manager, 4.2 users just click refresh menus from start-menu
Install at your own risk. No warranty whatsoever
Thanks
Update v 1.2: change how functions work
Update v 1.2: tested on quirky 6.2.1

Tried it with iso 4.12 |
|
Though you referred to a frugal install it tried it with my 4.12 iso.
You might like to know ?
Results, the pet was installed.
The pet "worked" in that way that with the package manager you could see it was "installed" not to be found in the menu.
Strangely enough, when I wanted to open an html file on my disk it opened with the browser that I installed with your sfs-manager. Apperantly the only thing that is missing is the menu entry.

Hi, Nancy
Thanks for reporting.
1. Frugal users can use this sfs installer, but it's better to load sfs rather than install sfs as your used pup_save will increase. For full hd install, very useful
2.Do you mean that the sfs is correctly installed as pet? The package manager list the sfs as installed pet (so you can uninstall it later). So, everything is good then
3.The sfs you installed must have a /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser or /usr/local/bin/defaulthtmlviewer file, so it replaced the old one. Also, for menu entry you could run from terminal, fixmenus, then restart jwm/icewm. If a menu entry is still not there, then the sfs does not have a menu entry.
Regards,
Trio

trio, you are a genius. I grabbed your sfs installer, reinstalled my Lighthouse as a full hdd install, and went ahead and installed the Mariner, KDE, Oxygenofffice sfs', and they all worked without a problem. Next I am going to install the compiz.sfs and then get into you pet creater and have a go at petting up some programs that I like to use and share if they work as planned. Again thanks for all your work.
Cheers
Jason

Jason,
You are very much welcome...
I am happy you find it useful...don't forget, the sfs is registered as installed pets when installed, so you can uninstall it later, just like regular pets
Also, you won't need the sfs installer if you already have latest Pet maker 1.5, I replaced the troublesome sfs2pet function (as you experienced & reported) with this sfs installer function...
Regards,
trio

Hi Users,
SFS installer GUI now is integrated in Pet Maker 1.5 (Click on my signature) - you do not need to have both, but if you only want this app, it's up to you

Trio | out installing where it should be "loading".
Thanks again.
Hi Trio,
"Fixmenus" did it.
Running live cd 4.1.2
As your pet calls itself "install" I talked about "installing"

RE: SFS installer |
|
This app is great! It has an ability to install SFS modules. On the next version SFS installer development. I suggest that it has more features (such as list of installed SFS modules and "remove" button to uninstall the currently installed SFS modules.)

Thanks Trio. Sticking this in Hansamben, but as its for the completly-uninterested-how-it works-as long-as-the-kids-like-it, i am testing a scrip to see what kind of install it is then kick in the SFS_installer or bootmanager extra sfs.
For pupmode=2 (full install i hope) it will copy the sfs's to /.
When the installer opens it looks at the folder /usr/local/sfs_installer.
1. can i tweak the installer to look in / first of
2. Where do the sfs's have to be to be installed. Something tells me its /, but i cant for the life of me remeber why.
Heres the script thats being tested.
Code: | #!/bin/sh
grep_output=`grep PUPMODE= /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE`
if [ "$grep_output" == "PUPMODE=12" ]; then #Mount the cd and copy over the SFS's
#Mount the Live CD on /mnt/cdrom and quit if not found
CDROM="cdrom"
CDLIST=`probedisk | grep cdrom | cut -c 1-8`
CDFOUND=0
for CD in $CDLIST ; do
mount -t iso9660 $CD /mnt/$CDROM 2> /dev/null
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
CDFOUND=1
break
fi
done
if [ $CDFOUND = 0 ]; then
echo
xmessage "" -bg "#FFFF00" -center -fn "10x20" -title "SFS Installation " " Please ensure the Live CD is inserted and re run
SFS Installer. Click Okay to exit" &
exit
fi
rsync -a --exclude='hsb_412.sfs' /mnt/$CDROM/ /
cd /usr/bin
umount -t iso9660
cd /usr/local/SFS_Installer/
./SFSINSTALLER
else
bootmanager extrasfs quiet
fi |

I just wanted to post a thanks for a nice gadget! I figured out how to do this from the CLI but this is a great little tool and I'm sure it will help out the new guys (like me) a lot in the future.

I have not tried your sfs installer, but I do have a question.
Does it check to see if the sfs file is in the correct format?
I seem to recall one had to convert ext2 sfs files to ext4 before bootmanager would load them.
Is this the case with your sfs installer?
Or does it even need that capability?
Curious.
