Lighthouse Pup 5.02 185M

#1 Post by tazoc »

Lighthouse Pup 5.02 base ISO and 5.02 Mariner ISO
_________________________________________
*** Please see a newer release, 5.03 at this link ***
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 956#499956
_________________________________________
Highlights include

* PupControl, a full-featured control panel specifically designed for Puppy-based derivatives like Lighthouse.

* SFS copy2ram at first or any boot, with a brief prompt for full selection and configuration early in the boot process, prior to mounting the layered file system.

* If sufficient free RAM is detected, all core files and SFS add-ons can be copied to RAM. This means the Mariner ISO is now a true LiveCD with the add-ons Xfce, Mariner & LibreOffice SFS running in RAM at first boot.

* If any .sfs add-ons are found, before they are loaded, a brief prompt is offered to select and configure them. The SFS configuration allows you to choose which add-ons you'd like to use this session, and whether or not to copy them to RAM. Skip the prompt and use all SFS selected in prior configuration / BootManager / pre-selections from LiveCD.

* Available free RAM is recalculated after each copy2ram. If RAM is low, only SFS files that will safely fit in RAM will be copied and the rest will mount in place. This way all selected add-ons will be loaded, making maximum use of available RAM.

Release notes are at http://www.lhpup.org/release-lhp.htm

==Bugs==

Booting an encrypted save file gives erroneous error 'failed to mount' (actually does work, after the 60 sec pause.)
Fixed ISOs here. Or copy these files to your GRUB installation.

Download Lighthouse Pup 5.02 G

Graphics configuration

KMS*: automatic i915.modeset=1 for Intel graphics. video=800x600 when booting from CD.

*** If using GRUB bootloader ***

If boot and command line fonts are very small, add video=800x600 to the kernel line in your menu.lst. Sample menu.lst entry

If LHP boots to a blank screen when booting from a GRUB bootloader, please add xforcevesa nomodeset to the kernel line in your menu.lst.
(Booting from the CD does this by default, and using grubconfig in LHP to install GRUB also does.)

Please try pasting this into a terminal:

Code: Select all

cd /mnt/home
wget http://www.lhpup.org/release/lhp502/LighthousePup-5.02-G.iso
or

Code: Select all

cd /mnt/home
wget http://www.lhpup.org/release/lhp502/LighthousePup-5.02-G_Mariner.iso
and report the o/p if it doesn't work.
Thanks,

Hi TazOC, thanks for the new update.

Downloaded fine, does it work with KDE 4.4.4-G?

Cheers,
Jim

Hi Jim,
You're welcome. Yes, 4-KDE-4.4.4-G.sfs works great here, even copied to RAM.

Hi TazOC,

I'm having problems with startup. The installation is on an ext4 partition. I get "Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format".

My menu.lst entry is unchanged from what worked with 5.00 G: I get the same error using the commented out code which worked with 5.0.0 G:

Code: Select all

# Linux bootable partition config begins
title Lighthouse 5.0.2 frugal in sdb2
rootnoverify (hd1,1)
kernel /lighthouse/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd psubdir=lighthouse pfix=fsck pdev1=sdb2
#kernel /lighthouse/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd psubdir=lighthouse pfix=fsck pdev1=sdb2 nomodeset
initrd /lighthouse/initrd.gz
# Linux bootable partition config ends
Clicking on "Click to verfiy-lhp" using Lucid 5.2 does nothing. Ideas?

Thanks,
Jim

Hmm, what is the o/p of:

cd /mnt/sdb2/lighthouse
ls -Al
This is with the ISO mounted:

I'm guessing either the ownership or permissions are preventing execution. If they aren't root root, from within the lighthouse directory, type

Code: Select all

chown root:root *
Permissions can be changed via ROX properties.

Hi TazOC,

I see that there are size difference between my output and yours. Maybe I need to try a new download.
Thanks,

Hi Tazoc,

I'll try a new download.

Thanks,
Jim
EDIT: Problem was the download which I suspected considering the difference sizes between our files. Mariner download was also bad. I/m posting from LHP now and it looks good so far including KDE4.
Thanks,
Jim

I installed the new lhp and loaded the devx,kernel source sfs, then installed
the ati-driver-installer-10-12-x86.x86_64.run driver.

bash-4.1# glxgears
19091 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3818.033 FPS
19415 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3882.822 FPS
19423 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3884.449 FPS
19418 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3883.524 FPS
19428 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3885.551 FPS
<root> ~

There is a lot to try out but it's looking good so far,amazing in fact :)

Edit:

I installed lhp 502 to a pc with an nvidia graphics card and installed
the devx,kernel source sfs, and NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.29.run driver.
I had to go into the sbin directory and rename depmod to depmodold and
depmod-FULL to depmod before exiting to the prompt and running the
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.29.run driver.
I had problems getting the correct resolution but I messed around
until I got it :)
6840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1367.876 FPS
7194 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1438.715 FPS

Hi Tazoc,

Rick's done it to you again, your installer is off. His version is now setup982.exe. I didn't even know that it had gotten to 981, his updates are more frequent than they used to be.

Cheers,
Jim

e-Sword Installer updated

#15 Post by tazoc »

Hi Jim,
Yes, you're right, try it now. 9.7.2 still works in LHP 5.00 G. 9.8.2 for 5.02 should d/l OK now, though I had to install twice before it worked; I will do some more testing tomorrow to see if the free space check needs to be adjusted up. There's a new e-Sword feature now to d/l and track add-ons within e-Sword, but I haven't been able to get it working in Wine.
Thanks,
TazOC

Nice work! Stunning OS reflects massive work expended.
Just the niggle of not starting up on Xorg unless Radeon specifically selected. Might put off newcomers? Which Flash for Opera11, please?

unable to load an encrypted save file.
Fresh Install on USB stick (frugal).
I tried formatting the USB stick in Ext2, Ext3, and Ext4, and tried each with a save file saved in each format. (yes I know it should only be an ext2 format, but I wanted to try anyway).
Failed on all attemps... all 12 of them.
Non encrypted ext2 save files load fine on Ext2 formated drive.

Also I notice that your option to loading SFS files changes things slightly. In the past the main sfs file would load to ram every time on a frugal install, and all the extra SFSs would not. However now its an all or nothing approach right? So... Either all selected SFS get loaded into ram (including main sfs), or non selected SFS get loaded into ram.
Just wondering because I kinda liked just loading the main file into ram and nothing else. I dont need 1.5GB of sfs loaded into ram. Since we are a 32bit OS, we are limited to 3GB, I need those GB for running Vboxes. :)

Strange, I don't know why that would be; will try it myself.

OK, in /etc/rc.d/BOOTCONFIG there is a new flag COPYEXTRASFS2RAM=''. If you hit Enter to configure SFS at boot, press r to re-select them, then when prompted Copy SFS files to RAM? r/m, type m for Mount and then the flag should be COPYEXTRASFS2RAM='no' and they should mount instead of copy. On reboot with a savefile, the BootManager|Select SFS will pop up; closing it will launch a new GUI for SFS Boot Settings and it also has a check box for Copy SFS files to RAM. Uncheck it to accomplish the same.
[Edit: /etc/BOOTCONFIG corrected to /etc/rc.d/BOOTCONFIG]

I guess I should give you a bit more detail... Basically it prompts for a password, and then as soon as I type it in I get a red 'FAILED' on the right of the screen, and then it shows a few more errors then dies. When I reboot later I'll jot down everything.

Hi Billtoo,
Thanks for the first looks. That's a good idea to use depmod-FULL for compiling the NVIDIA driver. For compiling some other apps I had to change the symlink /usr/bin/perl to point to /usr/bin/perl5.10.1

Is it OK with you if I copy your 2011-01-17_20-35-39-thumb.png to the first post?

Hi Sage, that's a good question--Opera 10.63 seems unstable with the latest Flash. We need to research that one, unless anyone else knows? Might experiment with an older libflashplayer.so and place it in /usr/lib/opera/plugins.

@Q5sys,
Light or heavy savefile encryption?
