Toni, I think it's good to add the libglib2.0-bin package. It has 'glib-compile-schemas' which is used in loadmodules as post-loading command. It gives greater chance that applications work when creating module with apt2sfs. Another thing: Can we create maybe a devx.sfs (for compiling) with apt2sfs. Didn't test yet so I'm not sure if it would work. Fred |

Fred; An add-on Devx Squash file is on my wish list. Hopefully build it up like most of Puppy`s with many languages and dev. tools. Need a non-unioned version ( portable app ), much easier to use and lower system resources. |

Hi, Fred. Can you confirm again we need to use /usr/bin/loadmodule from 02-apps-porteus.xzm included in DebainDog-PorteusDog-test.iso here: http://smokey01.com/saintless/Light-Wheezy/DebianDog-PorteusDog-test.iso It doesn't even have gsu line included. It is much different from your latest /usr/bin/lobmodule included in 02-apps-porteus.xzm here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByBgCDlZZ8K5N0pUN1RHdlNZRWs/edit?usp=sharing Which one to use?

Thank you, Terry. I will test it tonight and write back. _________________ Farewell, Nooby, you will be missed... |

OK, since it is needed for apt2sfs we need to include libglib2.0-bin also.
I'm not sure how devx.sfs will work with apt2sfs. I have something started including build-essentials and checkinstall but I have to clean status and available files to make script for updating dpkg database. Around 200 package entries have to be moved in separate files. No time to do this yet. Terry, if you mean localization it is not something I see as important. especially for devx.sfs. The compiling commands are typed in English anyway. Basic level of English is needed to compile packages. All install instructions in the source packages are in English. Do you have some dev tools in mind to be included? Toni _________________ Farewell, Nooby, you will be missed... |

Hi Toni,
Yes, I should have mentioned, it's the one from my google-drive.
Thanks, btw it's needed for loadmodule (it executes stuff after mounting module).
I just mean to create a module from 'build-essential and all other stuff that's needed' with apt2sfs. Maybe it works well without dpkg registering. I'm not into compiling lately, don't even know what's all needed (build-essential and .....?) Fred |

Oh dear... I was playing with fdisk in an attempt to optimally align partitions on a new usb stick I bought for a new debiandog installation but I accidentally erased my current active debiandog installed usb instead! Talk about having to start from scratch. No problem with doing that for debiandog itself of course, but goodbye to anything else that was on there! Just a minor setback really though. But this particular link about partition alignment is one of the better ones I've read: http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Partition_Alignment _________________ Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit. |

Hi mcewanw, Good link indeed, thanks for sharing. Here's a bit more radical approach: https://blogofterje.wordpress.com/2012/01/14/optimizing-fs-on-sd-card/ Works very well for me both on SD cards and usb flash drives. |

Hi, All. 06-DEVX-DebDog.squashfs-53Mb compiling tools module uploaded: http://smokey01.com/saintless/Fredx181/06-DEVX-DebDog.squashfs
It does not have dpkg-update option but /var folder is renamed to /var-noload for later editing and option to update dpkg-database if needed. The module works without dpkg database update. it is created with RemasterCow script and all packages are configured after apt-get install on running system. Tested to compile and install Jwm and it works. Haven't tested yet what will be the result using apt2sfs. Included packages:
All needed package dependencies are also included. The easiest way to test it is to use checkinstall for example:
This will execute configure, make, create deb package and install the deb package process. Someone with more experiense than me can suggest different packages to include or replace. For the moment this is what we have as Devx.sfs for DebianDog. Toni |

Hi, Terry. testing latest debmenu2desktop.convert for CLI applications has this problem: /usr/share/menu:
From menu-debian it executes xterm with manual.html loaded in terminal. converted in /usr/share/applications desktop file:
Click on w3m menu entry does not start w3m in terminal. Terminal=true seems is not enough to execute terminal. Strange it does not since Terminal=true. Adding this executes w3m in terminal:
We need to add xterm -e after Execute= for terminal=true applications. Otherwise they will not start from menu. The problem is if xterm is uninstalled by the user all desktop files with xterm line will stop work. Maybe we need to use default_virtual-terminal instead xterm. I will change all desktop files with xterm to use default_virtual-terminal. I test with enabled copy/remove in folder-changes. Seems working fine for now. Toni |

Toni; Yes I noticed that, the desktop files in Puppy have the VT`s command line "rxvt -e". I thought about doing this, but I`m guessing that a wrapper script is supposed to handle it. The other thing is the poor support ( writing ) of "needs=" and "Terminal=". Like many of the key words, most people don`t know how they are to be used. The desktop key word "Type=" is mandatory, but many desktop files do not have it. # And yes, all references to the VT should be "default_virtual-terminal". # As with executing any of the apps that have the "default_xxxx" links ( except main menu ). I`ll change debmenu2desktop.convert to make it add code to Exec= lines for needs="text".
# Devx file, downloaded it. I`ll test and post addition suggestions for the next one. # NOTE: Will there be 2 Devx files, standard and Porteus.? OR will your Devx work on both? William; Sorry to hear about your snafu, but it`ll turn out to be a good education I`m sure... I`d like to see a menu item to install DebianDog to USB HD/Flash and SD, MMC media. All levels of media preparation and install: 1) Clear media, partition and format ( optional ). Make partitions: boot, data, and swap. If media is to be used with WinBlows, then first partition should be vFAT or NTFS. Other wise Weeners won`t see the drive unless it has Linux partition drivers installed. The boot partition should be ext2 or ext3 whether it`s the first partition or not. 2) Copy DebianDog and live-rw files to boot partition, do post setup ( grub boot, etc...). . |

Hi Toni, All
Thanks! It seems from a quick try that it works, and... without dpkg registration, that's great. I made new loadmodule script (see below .zip, inside: separate folders for live-boot and porteus-boot) Changes: - Added option for 'no overwrite', this way nothing from the base system gets overwritten when loading a module, which is more safe IMO. I believe 'sfs_load' for puppy has this as default behaviour. The command line for this mode:
- Added help (type: loadmodule -h ) - More errorchecking Also in the .zip; loadmodulegui, a gui that depends on new loadmodule and has also the 'no overwrite' mode as an option included (corresponding with loadmodule script). EDIT 2014-03-26 : Had to change loadmodule for live-boot so that "no overwrite" works with and without the 'showmounts' boot option. EDIT 2014-03-27: loadmodule for live-boot edited; "no overwrite" option works also in unexpected circumstances now. New loadmodule+loadmodulegui.zip uploaded: Fred

Fred; Good to hear, I figured as much, but you never know... Toni; New debmenu2desktop.convert file, fixed a few bugs I found. I changed the desktop file name back to the "Exec=(name)", it could be "Name=(App_Name)". And it now creates this output for debmenu files with: needs="text"

Yes, interesting. The link you post is the first one I've noticed that suggests a method to determine erase block size. I'm not sure how important all this alignment stuff is nowadays to be honest; I think some things have changed in the last few years so latest fdisk and partitioning tools maybe provide a reasonable compromise in terms of alignment, but I'm not sure and don't have time nor inclination to run a whole series of tests myself. But as long as the method is straightforward, no harm in trying it I feel. Of course this is all a bit off-topic except I am running DebianDog off a usb flash drive ;-) _________________ Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.
