Tested portable DebianDog-Installer in Lupu-528 and Fluppy.
Lupu-528 - Frugal and Full install failed.
Fluppy - Full failed Frugal success.

That's not a very good score
Thanks for testing and the details.
I thought already that there could be missing libraries but there are probably also other factors that make it fail.

Anyway here's new portable folder with missing libraries added .
Can you test again when you have time?, it's not very important so absolutely no hurry.

Hi, Fred.

Can you confirm md5sum is the same?

Yes, sorry, added one library to much that's apparently conflicting. I just noticed the same while testing on Puppy Exprimo
Uploaded again (same link in above post) (it's now running well on Exprimo btw), also I tested on Saluki but it gave GLIB wrong version error. I realize it's probably to much to ask to make it work on most puppy's.
Maybe if it doesn't depend on parted there's better chance.

Hi, Fred.

Full failed, Frugal Success on both Lupu-528 and Fluppy:
http://smokey01.com/saintless/Fredx181/ ... /test2.txt

I don't think you can make it work on all puppy versions and no need to try. Even pet packages and puppy-sfs files can't work on all.

Toni

There's improvement! Yes!
Thanks again for trying.
Yes, I agree it can't work on all puppy versions but looking at your output I think it's just one thing that fails: mounting 01-filesystem.squashfs on /media/target. So it's close to working.
Also I could remove the parted dependency (it was just for setting the boot flag only, which can be done with fdisk also)
If you don't mind I'll bother you within the next few days to test again
Going to install Lupu myself to test on it.

Fred

[saintless]

No problem testing, Fred

Hi Toni,

Not even close but impossible I think on distro's with older kernel version than 2.6.38 (not supporting xz compression).
As far as I can see that's the reason why xz compressed .squashfs cannot be mounted on Lupu and the install fails.

Fred

[saintless]

Hi, Fred.

Yes, I agree xz compression and old kernel is the problem after testing unsquashfs and mount -o loop command.

Suggestions:

1. Full install - we loose most DebianDog advantages like sfs options and small size. And still no one reported DebianDog Full install test or use. I suggest removing Full install option from portable installer.

2. Make (Frugal-only or both with red text warning for Full install about old kernel) portable installer executable with chmod +x permissions and include it in the iso outside /live directory. It will be easy to extract it from puppy or other linux and make frugal install for testing. Full install can be made from DebianDog later if needed.

Good idea!
I''l make tonight appimage with frugal install only and removed parted dependency.


Tip for Jwm version for more advanced terminal: roxterm from squeeze (the one from wheezy needs gtk3).
Tested on Jwm by only installing the .deb from here:
https://packages.debian.org/en/squeeze/roxterm

A big advantage IMHO is support for drag 'n drop and tabs.
Only around 600 Kb and you can clean a bit maybe.

Thanks, Fred.
I will add it as optional terminal. But after some playing with Wheezy alternative roxterm-gtk2 package I got this wheezy version with edited Control and added what is needed to work from dependencies.
http://smokey01.com/saintless/Fredx181/ ... 1_i386.deb
Seems to work the same way and adding almost the same size.

Hi, Fred.

New /opt/bin/mount-swap with option to mount swap file instead partition. Works for swap file named pupswap.swp in /live/image (or /mnt/home for OpenBox version).
This way we can automount already existing puppy swap file.

And Make-Swap-File GUI if you like to add it in OpenBox version:

Even better, didn't know about existing roxterm-gtk2 package.

I will add it.

New DebianDog-Installer appimage without needing parted (frugal install only).

Hi Toni,
Bugfix for portable DebianDog installer.
After some more testing I found it seems installing right but doesn't boot because of boot flag not set.
See Edit4 on page 214 for more info:

OK, Fred.
New versions replaced on the site also.

Peasyglue 1.8 debian package made for smaller size.
http://smokey01.com/saintless/Fredx181/ ... 8_i386.deb
Added only the needed files from wheezy dependencies in /opt/lib and /opt/bin. This way the bigger dependencies package can be safely installed/uninstalled without breaking peasyglue.
Uninstall peasyglue 1.7 deb if it is installed because the executable is in /opt/bin. This new one keeps the executable symlink in /usr/local/bin as it is in the pet package.

Anikin, can you. please, test if it works for you in Wheezy and Sid when you have time?

Fred, I plan to include this deb in Jwm. It adds only 268k uncompressed as it is now. With full netpbm dependencie it is over 3Mb.

Hi Toni, Fred and everyone,

Works absolutely fine in DD, but doesn't start in SID:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/bin/peasyglue: 33: export: Illegal option -f

Hi Toni, Fred and everyone,

Code: Select all

root@debian:~# peasyglue
/usr/local/bin/peasyglue: 33: export: Illegal option -f
root@debian:~#

In DebianDog, /bin/sh is linked to /bin/bash. export -f is a bashism so bash is needed to export functions; dash won't do. I believe that is the problem you have at the moment.

William,

Thank you for the lead.

Being totally innocent of b/d/ashisms, had a quick crash course here ==>https://wiki.debian.org/DashAsBinSh
Am I doing it right?

This SID is a half-*ssed, self-made contraption - a skeleton, actually. Stuff is expected to be missing.

[saintless]

Thank you, William!

Anikin, the deb package replaced with change in peasyglue executable #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash
It should work without changing sh to bash in SID now.
gtkdialog3 - you can copy /opt/bin/gtkdialog3 from DebianDog in SID and test again. You can also try just to symlink gtkdialog from SID to gtkdialog3 to see if this works.
