run without save file

#439 Post by Wognath »

Hello,
Still love Wheezy! I just remastered with /etc and /root customized to my settings. My intention was to run it in ram, as a frugal install on HD with no savefile, for more secure online banking. But when I boot with pfix=ram, I get the keyboard, country and xorg wizards and my customizations are overwritten.
I have this from arseh at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=89970 (Slacko)
Is there any practical way to remove [the quick setup menu] from the start, while it can remain as a program that can be used for times that it can be needed?
Or - I can delete the quickstart file from the system.
and from MochiMoppel:
Expand the main Puppy file (unsquashfs puppy_whatever.sfs) . In the resulting squashfs-root directory go to squashfs-root /var/local and create an empty file delayedrun_firstboot_flag. Repack the main file with mksquashfs squashfs-root puppy_whatever.sfs. That's it.
But I don't find a delayedrun_firstboot_flag file in Wheezy. Can someone tell me how Wheezy detects whether or not it's a first boot? Or another method to avoid the startup wizards?

Thanks
Wheezy 3.5.2.7, frugal installs on Lenovo S12 netbook

Wognath.
/usr/sbin/delayedrun.
I have used an older /usr/sbin/delayedrun script since I havent seen need to update it.
Inside that script is the relevant part:

Code: Select all

 if [ "$DISTRO_XORG_AUTO" = "yes" ];then #see /etc/DISTRO_SPECS 111019
   ##detect dead mouse, put up keyboard-operated window after 8 secs... 111026 no
   #mousecheck &
   #quick setup window for country and language and X resolution...
   QUICKSETUP="quicksetup"
   [ "`readlink /usr/bin/X | grep 'Xorg'`" = "" ] && QUICKSETUP="quickcountry" #probably Xvesa, offer country settings only.
   echo 'runquery' >> /tmp/delayedrun_quicksetup_count #run 'quicksetup' once only.
   [ "`cat /proc/cmdline | grep -i -o 'pfix=[^ ]*' | grep -E 'nox|safe'`" != "" ] && echo 'runquery' >> /tmp/delayedrun_quicksetup_count #the text-mode 1st-start dlgs have already run.
   [ `cat /tmp/delayedrun_quicksetup_count | wc -l` -lt 2 ] \
    && [ ! -f /etc/personal_settings_popup_disabled ] \
    && ${QUICKSETUP} #120606
So....if you create an empty file called personal_settings_popup_disabled, and place it to the /etc inside your remastered sfs, it should prevent the quickcountry from running.

You can also grab the latest delayedrun, from recent woof build or from woof2 platform in the net, and hack the newest delayedrun script. It should work in dpup wheezy just ok, and there is that file row you mentioned:
if [ ! -f /var/local/delayedrun_firstboot_flag ];then

...but that row is missing in the delayedrun script I have used. I have been bit lazy about delayedrun script. I have used the older one, slightly hacked by me.

Wanderer. Well....I have checked the thread you referred. There is still long road to go. I did create several builds using existing woof before I started to edit it for my needs. I even compiled my own kernel first. Also, you will need kernel compiled using the gcc of that build. Same gcc version I mean.

Anyway....the needed bits are inside my dpup wheezy builds. Inside /root/.packages you will find: DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS, DISTRO_PET_REPOS, DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS which are the dpup wheezy spesific. Packages-puppy-wheezy-official was the database file, where I did put those my included .pet packages which were not in Barry`s official repos, but I didnt upload those .pets so that smokey01.com wouldnt be too growded with .pets which are already in the build and because there wasnt much need to upload them. My build was my build, and no official Puppy with need to be able to build using woof. Also....Barry Kauler has not included official debian wheezy support. I have hacked existing squeeze woof platform to support debian wheezy building.
I dont have in my new laptop the woof2 platform included which I used for the building. I have it though in my external hdd in safe still. For possible future need.

Anyway....understanding above mentioned files is the first stage. They also have the guidelines for debian wheezy building.

Pemasu,
Once again, thanks for the quick reply. You say
So....if you create an empty file called personal_settings_popup_disabled, and place it to the /etc inside your remastered sfs, it should prevent the quickcountry from running.
This does avoid the quicksetup wizard that runs after the desktop opens. Sorry to bother you, but I still have the keyboard, timezone and xorg wizards which run in console before xwin starts. Do you know how to suppress those?

Wognath. If you have included in your remaster /etc/DISTRO_SPECS file and inside file is row:
DISTRO_XORG_AUTO='yes'
.....then console wizards should not be popping up. If they pops up even you have included that file with that row....then something else is missing.

Pemasu,
Thanks again for the suggestion. The line DISTRO_XORG_AUTO='yes' is present in /etc/distro_specs, but the console wizards still run. :(
In grub I have tried pfix=ram and also psubdir=wheezy (so it looks for but does not find save file). This is apparently a lot more complicated than I thought it would be...

Wognath. Do you have pupdesk.flg stored in the partition where your Puppy folders are ?
If yes, delete it. Not running quicksetup leaves that file...and it is not wanted.
Relevant part in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit:
##130501 pupdesk.flg gets created at bootup if not exist. If exists, then X desktop failed, so run Xorg Wizard...
##note, /usr/sbin/quicksetup deletes pupdesk.flg when click ok button.
#if [ $PUPMODE -eq 5 ];then
# if [ "$DISTRO_XORG_AUTO" = "yes" ];then #see /etc/DISTRO_SPECS
# if [ -f /initrd/tmp/PCPARTSALL_ata -o -f /initrd/tmp/PCPARTSALL_usb ];then
# for ONEPART in `grep -E 'vfat|ntfs|ext[2-4]|f2fs|reiserfs' /initrd/tmp/PCPARTSALL_* | tr '\n' ' '`
# do
# #ex: ONEPART=/dev/sda3|ntfs|37209088
# pFLG=0
# ADEV="`echo -n "$ONEPART" | cut -f 1 -d '|'`"
# AFS="`echo -n "$ONEPART" | cut -f 2 -d '|'`"
# pMNTPT="$(cat /proc/mounts | grep "${ADEV} " | cut -f 2 -d ' ')"
# if [ "$pMNTPT" = "" ];then
# ABASE="`basename $ADEV`"
# mkdir -p /mnt/$ABASE
# mount -t $AFS $ADEV /mnt/$ABASE
# pFLG=1
# pMNTPT="/mnt/${ABASE}"
# sleep 1 #just in case /proc/mounts slow to update.
# fi
# RWFLAG="$(cat /proc/mounts | grep "${ADEV} " | grep ' rw,')"
# if [ "$RWFLAG" ];then
# if [ ! -f ${pMNTPT}/pupdesk.flg ];then
# touch ${pMNTPT}/pupdesk.flg #130509 note, quicksetup will insert auto-driver into this.
# else
# #130509 quicksetup creates pupdesk.flg with auto-selected driver stored in it. xorgwizard-cli reads this.
# cp -f ${pMNTPT}/pupdesk.flg /var/local/quicksetup-pupmode5-autodriver
# touch /root/.xorgwizard-reenter #see /root/.profile, will cause xorgwizard to run.
# /etc/rc.d/rc.country ask #text-mode dlg for keyboard and locale.
# fi

I made Gimp 2.8.8 version for wheezy
using static gegl-babl provided by forum member scabz

babl-0.1.10-i686-static.pet

gegl-0.2.0-i686-static.pet

Previous versions of Chromium 30 ( or 29 or 28 ) would not work in Dpup Wheezy because they all needed glibc version 2.15 and Wheezy only has 2.13 even though it is a recent Debian stable release. The highest version of Chromium that would run was 27.

Now I see that Debian have produced a version 30.0.1599.101 of Chromium as a .deb which is presumably compiled against an earlier glibc (deps list shows glibc 2.11) so it is suitable for use in Wheezy.

You can download the .deb from packages.debian.org or I have done a bit of tweaking and re-packaging and uploaded .pet and .sfs versions to my Yandex Disk

I mixed up the posting of the wheezy and precise pets :oops:

Fixed now.

Pemasu,
Thanks for all the help with the various init scripts. I continue to experiment with them and in 100 (dec) years or so hope to understand them well enough. In the meantime, it proved easier to base my "bank" install on Lucid because it skips the cli wizards. Wheezy remains my everyday os :)
Regards,
Wognath

I found that my wheezy version of gimp will work on Precise Puppy
as well because of the static compiling of Gegl-Babl.

Chrome on Wheezy Pup

#454 Post by Satori »

The last Google Chrome that worked on Squeeze dPup was 25.0, but I'm able to run Chrome 26 thru 30 on Wheezy dPup.

The current stable Chrome (31.0) fails on Debian with missing dependencies, but this is a bug.

The beta Chrome (32.0) installs and runs on Wheezy dPup with no problems.

Woof-CE - Github - Barry`s retirement - comments and ideas popping up....

I have used latest Barry`s woof to build Dpup Wheezy 3.5.2.8. The aim is at last to converge my debian wheezy work as github woof building compatible. I have now tested that woof can build debian wheezy from pure woof platform and the goal is a little nearer. Next would be need of official repo where to upload needed pets to build debian wheezy....and someone should push - merge - whatever my work to github. Yeah...some people thinks it`s me who do that...but that will need first learning to use github correctly.

As side effect of my 2 days working, I created Dpup Wheezy 3.5.2.8.

It uses same old kernel. Latest Barry`s woof as platform. Several apps updated. A lot new nice Puppy applications included to show them. I will continue to present them and I swap the collection. Now it was Peasy Apps and Zigbert`s latest version time. I have updated under the hood binaries so that latest Pburn should work. Radky`s several Puppy apps also included, of course.

If someone complains why my builds include these Puppy apps (they take space), you should remember that those people have spent countless hours while creating them, debugging code and answering to the feedback. Big hand to them.

I create these builds just from fresh Finnish countryside air. No time spent at all.
I quickly scanned through feedback, and I fixed some things. I apologize if there is non-fixed things, my main aim was convert my work as generic woofable build.

And no. I am not going to compile and update to the latest Abiword and Gnumeric.

Anyway...here is this side effect of creating anyone woofable debian wheezy based Dpup Wheezy:
