Re: LH64 makes booting any PC on your LAN, simple

#541 Post by Deacon »

gcmartin wrote:Hello @Deacon

If you are running Mariner on one of your PC, then you can boot Mariner and any other PUP distro over the LAN to your 64bit netbook. Its really too simple!

Nothing to install! Nothing much to do except
  1. open the Menu.
  2. Click Menu>Network>Netboot-server
  3. Navigate to an ISO file you want to boot
  4. When it completes, Go to any LAN attached PC and tell it to boot from the LAN adapter
  5. Watch it boot the ISO you selected
The author made this all-too-simple to do for any LH64 user to do for any PC on their home LAN network. It is just too easy to be productive.

No DVD! no USB! no HDD! Nothing to tailor! Nothing to do! Just boot your LAN PC. Anyone can do it.

Here to help
Wow. That does sound simple!

Watch me screw this up though... I'll be back ;) (of course if it works I'll be back anyway to say thanks)

EDIT: Ok I'm back. Just went to network on 6.02. There's no netboot server option! There is an "x11vnc-server" though

EDIT #2: Oops! Seems the menus are different when you change WM's! Found it. Now to wait for the computer!

Is there a right or wrong way to solve this in LH64 or is it a no-go, please?
Enigmail: Unable to locate GnuPG executable in the PATH.
Make sure you have set the GnuPG executable path correctly in the OpenPGP Preferences.

To permanently avoid this alert, either fix the problem or uninstall
This error pops up & requires a mouse click for every email message read.

EDIT: I just used PPM to install GnuPG 2 with no notice of errors or missing libraries but still the same error. I cannot fine gnupg via OpenPGP Preferences in Extensions and when I search my files I'm not which gnupg file I am looking for.

Help, please?

Locate an executable

#543 Post by Meshworks »

Hi Edoc -
Enigmail: Unable to locate GnuPG executable in the PATH.
I dont know that mail package, but you could try:
whereis GnuPG
or
type GnuPG

Have EnigMail ever worked for you? If not - that's because you don't have the gnupg. Try installing gnupg version 1.4. I think gnupg 2.x won't cut it. The name program you should look is "gpg".

Uninstalled EnigMail & GnuPG 2 & installed GnuPG 1.4 then installed EnigMail & no more errors.

It's just an experiment as I don't really have a reason for it.

I now need to create a Key so I may test it.

Seems that I spoke too soon ... :oops:

Instructions say to create a Key I should click on the OpenPGP tab - which there is not one in my Seamonkey install - nor can I find it in any of the drop-down menus.

Nothing is found for openpgp, openpg, OpenPGP, or OpenPG when I do a File search or a whereis search via Console.

I did get the following result re. gnupg:
bash-4.1# whereis gnupg
gnupg: /usr/libexec/gnupg /usr/share/gnupg /usr/man/man7/gnupg.7.gz /usr/share/man/man7/gnupg.7.gz
What should I try next, please?

You should find 'EnigMail' menu in your Seamonkey Mail. The 'OpenPGP' tab is for older version of EnigMail. From there, open 'Key Management.'

Dumb pill here - I was looking in the browser :oops:

OpenPGP is in Seamoney - perhaps because I am using v 1.4 vs 2?

I'll try not to mess things up further from here ... :roll:

Multilib on LHP

#550 Post by Meshworks »

Hi all u LHP users out there!

It's been a while since I checked these forums.
What happened to Taz?

So .. new laptop ... ATI Graphics onboard ...

I've had a pop at integrating the Slackware 14.0 32bit compat / multilib packages as outlined here:
http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:multilib

Code: Select all

# SLACKVER=14.0
# mkdir multilib
# cd multilib
# lftp -c "open http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/people/alien/multilib/ ; mirror -c -e ${SLACKVER}"
# cd ${SLACKVER}

Upgrade your 64bit Slackware

Hello @Meshworks, I am NOT a Wine user, so my question bears a great bit of ignorance. But, doesn't Mariner have all this worked out as it has WINE built-in "so to speak". This, of course, does NOT address you question, but, was wondering.

TaZ has had a bit of bout with an illness which appears to have taken him from the forum. Several other forum members attempt to provide assistance.

The problem is as follows...

On LHP515F and LHP602, on installing the ATI Proprietory driver, there seems to be no installation of the 32bit OpenGL. As a result certain 32bit apps won't run in Wine (which means no World of Warcraft)!

I'm also running LHP515F on an NVIDIA based box. This compiles the 32bit extensions to the proprietory Nvidia drivers, and therefore runs Wine / Wow perfectly.

The error running WoW under the ATI driver is as follows:

Code: Select all

wine Wow.exe -opengl &
...
err:wgl:has_opengl Failed to load libGL: libGL.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
err:wgl:has_opengl OpenGL support is disabled.
Direct3D9 is not available without OpenGL.
The 64bit side of the driver has installed correctly and allows hardware/direct rendering.

So .. 2 Questions....
1) LHP 515F... How do I get the ATI drivers to compile the 32bit libs under 515F?
2) LHP 602 ... Must I install 32bit compat (alien bobs compat32) from slackwhere/elsewhere?

How do I get my precious 32bit win apps working under 602?
I remember being told that there is no 32bit compat included in LHP602.

Command used to install driver:

Code: Select all

./amd-catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.run
I'm going to try the R14 drivers tonight.
Ed. amd-driver-installer-14.10.1006.1001-x86.x86_64.run <<< also leaves me without the 32 bit stuff in 515F.
Ed. 602 is better at detecting my hardware, boots from USB & loads its sfs files from a linux partition. 515 insists on sfs files being on the usb boot key.

Sorry to hear Taz is away. I'm sure he's badly missed.

A strange, noobish question or two

#553 Post by Deacon »

Ok. New machine arrived! Lighthouse is installed perfectly! (I didn't use the LAN option, unfortunately, though I really wanted to. I ended up doing USB frugal.)

1. Been using Lighthouse for 6 months, and no matter how hard I try.... I can't get rid of GKrellM. I know, it's popular, and some days I like it. Most days, however, I end up right clicking and getting rid of it as a daily ritual. Very dumb. How can I get rid of it? It's not listed in the bootup programs. Is there an "off" switch for it so it will come on when I want?

2. Is there a way to shrink the storage file? I'm so used to using really big chunks of memory at the outset to improve performance, and now it's a 5GB save file, so while it works fine, it boots really slowly now.

Hi @Deacon

If you go in /root and rightclick on Startup icon , Look Inside and you can move the file that makes start GKrellM to the Disabled Items folder. A restartX from the PupShutdown and no more GKrellM . :D


From what I know savefile size can be increased only , or you risk to corrupt it . And :Bigger savefile = = slower computer :!:

#555 Post by gcmartin »

Sounds like you may have a lot of data files of some sort in your save-session file. Did you initially allocate it at 5GB or have you been increasing it over time.

If you initially allocated it at that size, there are 2 ways; neither of which I have tried in LH.
  1. Remaster your running system to a new ISO. If done proper, you will have EVERYTHING that is in your running system in the new ISO. This should boot faster and you will be allowed to allocate a new save-session for future needs.

    @Shinobar offers RemasterX, @NIC007 offers a recent approach and StemSee also offers a recent approach. In fact all of these remaster approaches are recent.
  2. Open the save-session file and run a count on its size. Then manually create a new file with the beginning filename (...save-...) as the old and copy all files including hidden files from your active save-session to the new file.
Hope this helps

If you are able to make a small (say 10gb?) linux partition on your drive formatted ext2 or ext3 ... you can boot from the usb key ... but have the savefile and sfs files stored on the (fast) hdd partition.

LHP 602 likes this config --- LHP 515F not so much.

Nice answers from GCM & Gobbi! When my savefile bloats out I simply cut a new one.

File Shares on XP SP2

#557 Post by Meshworks »

Having trouble getting at XP shares? I tried various things eg builtin LHP tools, YASIM, and slamming my face onto the keyboard repeatedly.

After much messing around I installed:
clarf_pnethood-0.66.pet
mountcifs-1.5.pet
and linked
/bin/smbmount > /bin/mount

at which point pnethood was able to mount shares.
hoorah.

you could probably skip installing mountcifs.pet

GKrellM info says it requires GNU wget in order to view a webcam.

PPM shows that I have wget already installed but not GNU wget.

I tried to add http://www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/tim ... am=tsrobo1 and it doesn't respond when I choose Reread Source then Apply.

Do I need a different version of wget or ??

Hi edoc ,

From my experience with GKrellM webcam plugin in LHP I can tell you this : I was never able to see any webcam that uses flash :!:

The only webcams seen were those sending mjpeg or jpeg... It is also important to set a low refresh rate ( to give time - I think - to the program to adjust the picture to the chosen dimension in pixels in GKrellM plugin ) ...

For example this adress works for me : http://www.katkam.ca/pic.aspx

OK, the old Flash hassle shows up in yet one more place - sure will be glad when we are finally rid of Flash.

I suppose it is theoretically possible to write a script to run a Flash webcam stream through a converter but I don't need it that badly.

Perhaps I can convince my son, just starting sophomore year as an IT major, to try it? It could make for an interesting learning experience.

Thanks.
