I will have a go at compiling kernel the pure debian way; which yields a kernel and image .deb package. For my own curiosity.

'tapbutton' is working nicely, by the way!

I can't install briquolo, nor zaz ! Any known issues?

No issues.

I think I need a new laptop! This one is too quirky!! ...or might be me!

On openbox_xfce version I have no problem installing but running it gives problem because /usr/games is not in PATH env.

Toni, some time ago I thought it was fixed by reading the PATH from /etc/environment but that doesn't work anymore.
Changing it in /etc/profile does work so that needs to be fixed for the next release.

Fred, I might ask you later to include /initrd in exclude folders for RemasterDog.

If you can make the change yourself I have absolutely no objection if you change anything in any script of mine as long as you inform me about it.
I trust you don't mess things up

Hi, Fred.

Changing it in /etc/profile does work so that needs to be fixed for the next release.

Jwm version PATH is in /etc/profile. Only when xdm is activated it reads the path from xdm config files.

I hope I will not break RemasterDog It needs only /initrd in exclude command and some extra removing while cleaning. I will post edited version when I'm ready.

Hi Toni,

Jwm version PATH is in /etc/profile. Only when xdm is activated it reads the path from xdm config files.

Not sure what you mean.
To avoid misunderstanding; I just mean PATH needs fixed only on openbox version, can you add it to the changes/fixes section?

I just see Jwm version has different remasterdog.
On openbox there's included /tmp as option (as anikin requested), you didn't like it maybe?

As for adding initrd folder as exception to copy, just add it to "--exclude=...." on line 43 like this:

Code: Select all

 TOTAL=$(du -cbs --apparent-size /bin /boot /etc /home /lib /opt /root /sbin /usr /var --exclude="/lib/live/mount,initrd" | awk 'END {print $1}')

EDIT: Sorry, above must be wrong, probably it is this (with the "/" before initrd, didn't test this):

Code: Select all

 TOTAL=$(du -cbs --apparent-size /bin /boot /etc /home /lib /opt /root /sbin /usr /var --exclude="/lib/live/mount,/initrd" | awk 'END {print $1}')

EDIT: Again wrong, this works, tested now:

Code: Select all

 TOTAL=$(du -cbs --apparent-size /bin /boot /etc /home /lib /opt /root /sbin /usr /var --exclude=/{lib/live/mount,initrd} | awk 'END {print $1}')

Later I changed it to a bit different (which I like more because it's similar setup as the rsync commandline):

Code: Select all

TOTAL=$(du -cbs --apparent-size / --exclude=/{dev,live,lib/live/mount,cdrom,mnt,proc,sys,media,run,tmp} | awk 'END {print $1}')

So with added initrd folder it is:

Code: Select all

TOTAL=$(du -cbs --apparent-size / --exclude=/{dev,live,lib/live/mount,cdrom,mnt,proc,sys,media,run,tmp,initrd} | awk 'END {print $1}')

And then with excluded initrd folder on line 47:

Code: Select all

rsync -a / "/mnt/$DRV/$WRKDIR" --exclude=/{dev,live,lib/live/mount,cdrom,mnt,proc,sys,media,run,tmp,initrd} 2> /dev/null &

Done.

Maybe I missed it is updated RemasterDog for the iso versions. I will add it from OpenBox version.

It is not only /initrd excluding change. I still work on initrd.gz from puppy. It creates some extra files and folders in /lib and /etc that have to be removed in the cleaning section of the script. I will upload edited version of RemasterDog for you when I'm sure what exactly has to be cleaned.

Thanks!

My reply to Anikin who suggested /tmp as option for remasterdog:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 264#773264

Just for info: There are two 'TOTAL=...' occurrences in there, one for the /tmp option on line 37 and on line 95 for the other options (and on line 99 there's the rsync command)

Hi Toni and Fred,

Since you are finalizing remasterdog, one little thing regarding mksquashfs. From what I'm reading, the command in live-build scripts, specifically those of Steven Shiau has a minor difference:

Code: Select all

-b 1024k -comp xz -Xbcj x86 -e boot

that is, boot is explicitly excluded. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention it. Interesting, the way mksquashfs is used in his scripts:

stevenshiau 2012-10-25 02:08:15

Before running mksquashfs, you can assign some environment variables:
export MKSQUASHFS_OPTIONS="-b 1024k -comp xz -Xbcj x86 -e boot"
Then your mksquashfs will honor that.
This was the parameters used when creating GParted live

Not needed I think because for several reasons we want to keep the /boot dir as part of the system.

Fred

[saintless]

We need /boot folder to have working mkinitramfs for creating new initrd.img after installing new kernel.

And because we keep /boot/config-3.2.0-4-486 needed for some programs like Firehol:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 473#774473
I'm sure there are more reasons to keep it.

Hi, Fred.

RemasterDog with the changes for puppy initrd.gz boot:
http://smokey01.com/saintless/Fredx181/ ... tmp.tar.gz
The changes you posted yesterday for excluding /initrd + some more cleaning lines added. Copying files progress bar does not move for puppy initrd.gz boot but this is not a big problem. It will be only optional boot method for anyone who like to adapt it better in time.

Toni

[fredx181]

Hi Toni,

RemasterDog with the changes for puppy initrd.gz boot:
http://smokey01.com/saintless/Fredx181/ ... tmp.tar.gz

initrd needs to be excluded also on line 96, now you've changed only the TOTAL line for /tmp option on line 38

Fred

[fredx181]

Hi Toni,
Also line 38 has missing sed command at the end so this way the /tmp option cannot be used, make it this:

Code: Select all

TOTAL=$(du -cbs --apparent-size / --exclude=/{dev,live,lib/live/mount,cdrom,mnt,proc,sys,media,run,tmp,initrd} | awk 'END {print $1}' | sed 's/.\{3\}$//')

On line 96 it needs to be without the sed command:

Code: Select all

TOTAL=$(du -cbs --apparent-size / --exclude=/{dev,live,lib/live/mount,cdrom,mnt,proc,sys,media,run,tmp,initrd} | awk 'END {print $1}')

EDIT:Ooops, line 101 needs change also (has to be "$WORK"):

Code: Select all

rsync -a / "$WORK" --exclude=/{dev,live,lib/live/mount,cdrom,mnt,proc,sys,media,run,tmp,initrd} 2> /dev/null &

Fred

[saintless]

Thank you, Fred!
I will add the changes and test it again.
Maybe I miss something, but the script seems to work correct for me as it is uploaded for live-boot-2x and puppy initrd boot. I will recheck later again after the changes.

Edit: No, I actually have tested and proper working the old version of RemasterDog. The uploaded script with /tmp has even defrent workdir . It is "/mnt/$DRV/$WRKDIR" in old one and "$WORK" in the new one. I will recheck all again for errors.

Edit2: It should be OK now. This is what happens when I do copy/paste from previous version of script
Thanks, Fred!

Hi Toni, Fred and everyone,

Please, have a look at this command on line 58

Code: Select all

mount -t tmpfs -o "remount,nosuid,size=${result}%,mode=1777" tmpfs /tmp

I changed it as follows:

Code: Select all

mount -t tmpfs -o "remount,nosuid,size=60%,mode=1777" tmpfs /tmp

but it doesn't seem to do anything, tmpfs size remains unchanged. The same command run in the terminal without 'remount':

Code: Select all

mount -t tmpfs -o "nosuid,size=60%,mode=1777" tmpfs /tmp

gives me an increase of tmpfs size.

This on Wheezy, right? (because on Jessie or Sid it's different).
The size of /tmp is set in /etc/default/tmpfs and default is 70%.

Code: Select all

TMP_SIZE=70%VM

If I do this the size of my /tmp is decreased (from the default 70 to 60%

Code: Select all

mount -t tmpfs -o "remount,nosuid,size=60%,mode=1777" tmpfs /tmp

When doing this:

Code: Select all

mount -t tmpfs -o "remount,nosuid,size=80%,mode=1777" tmpfs /tmp

The size is increased (I have 1G of RAM, so 80% is 800M:

Code: Select all

root@dog:~# df -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
.. stuff deleted..
tmpfs           802M   28K  802M   1% /tmp

Better not do this (as your last code) because then /tmp becomes empty, with bad consequences:

Code: Select all

mount -t tmpfs -o "nosuid,size=60%,mode=1777" tmpfs /tmp

Fred

[anikin]

Yes, I'm testing it in Wheezy and the command in the script does nothing for me. In etc/defaults everything is commented out here. If I remember correctly, tmpfs is set to 20% in initrd.

Code: Select all

# Size limits.  Please see tmpfs(5) for details on how to configure
# tmpfs size limits.
#TMPFS_SIZE=20%VM
#RUN_SIZE=10%
#LOCK_SIZE=5242880 # 5MiB
#SHM_SIZE=
#TMP_SIZE=
