LxPupSc: Woof-CE, Slackware-Current, LXDE build 13-Jun-2020

[peebee]

Doing that eliminated the duplicate downloads, also cut the time to get
kpat working to 28 minutes.

Thanks for testing @Billtoo

Interim delta to 16.09.2 with the ppm repository changes has been re-uploaded.

[gcmartin]

Some in the community run DVD based PUPs with session saves for the DVD system's operation.

Understanding that deltas are the primary manner of delivering maintenance to an existing ISO file, is there a description somewhere of how to apply a delta to the running system without the need to go to ISO?

Rewording, can the delta be applied such that it would be built-into the save session after it is applied to the running system (assuming the delta, like a PET file, can be applied and used in the running system)?

Thanks in advance for any guidance for CD/DVD users.

[Dry Falls]

If I understand correctly, the delta only works on one file. In this case, the iso file. You have to have the original (which matches the checksum the delta calls for) -- no other iso will work. After applying the patch, the only option for running live-optical is to burn a new cd/dvd. A delta patch for any file on the cd/dvd will work in the sesion-save EXCEPT the kernel, initrd.*, base file (pup-name.sfs) and, of course, the bootloader files. Think of it like a remaster.

Here is the Take-A-Shot fix pet....

The problem with TAS has arisen from the upgrade to bash-4.4 in LxPupSc-16.09.3

This has resulted in the read command with individual variables behaving differently if the source of the variables are on different lines.

read a b c d <<< `source_command`
has to become:
read -d "\n" a b c d <<< `source_command`

TAS uses this form of read in 2 places.

There may be other scripts that use this form of read - who knows! - that may similarly fail with bash-4.4 - so please test away....

Cheers

I'd been waiting for a full iso on this as I didn't have an 'R' iso to apply the delta to... Downloaded, md5sum checked, 16.09.2 savefile cleaned thoroughly (including kernel material), checked, and updated. Frugal Grub4Dos install to core 2 duo laptop with iwlwifi and i915 video. PWF 4.1 used for wireless connection. Running well, glxgears at 1625 FPS, tops for this laptop. No problem applying my ignore=usb patch to the rationalized init.gz. I'll use it as my daily now though I'm pretty busy elsewhere for the next month or so so use will be light.

Light-49RC for LxPupSc is available to test....

http://smokey01.com/peebee/downloads/Lx ... t-49RC.sfs

Best way to test is to rename as the adrv

In my tests, its not as good as Light-48:
- on my nvidia hardware with nouveau driver it crashes quite frequently
- with YouTube on both nvidia (xvesa driver) and intel hardware I get no sound (worked OK with 48 )
- with YouTube on both nvidia (nouveau) and intel hardware the video does not display properly (again ok with 48 )

so I probably won't change just yet.

If you find any other problems I can feed them back on the Light discussion forum - send me a pm.

Hi Peebee,

Is there any chance you can get an (from several days ago fixing a security flaw) updated openssl.pet either here, sourceforge and/or on your website? I compiled (or tried to) my own, installed it, but I am not sure it is working correctly. It'd be nice if you could get something up, as the openssl in all your LxPups (all versions) is from back in March (a March figs compilation) and there has been "two" critical openssl security updates since that one. Openssl stuff sort of needs to be stayed on top of, as opposed to a lot of other updates/add-ons.

Thanks.

@belham2: Are you sure about that? slackware-current should pull the latest with each build, if not there may be other issues with things not updated too. Try typing openssl in the terminal than version and it should say 1.0.2j (in LxPupSc-16.10.1R.iso).

Correct - thanks Sailor - LxPupSc is up-to-date.

@belham2 - you are mistaken!

LxPup-s has the slackware update mechanism courtesy of 01micko

LxPupXenial is Ubuntu based and they have a strange approach whereby the base version apparently stays the same but they apply the fixes.... this makes the version in use very obscure - one of the reasons I much prefer slackware over ubuntu....
