Hi Tm_mT, Toni,
root@debian:~# ls /lib/live/mount/persistence/sda2
026-kernel-3.14-Pae.tar.gz libx32
026-kernel-3.14.0.bpo-pae.squashfs live
Readme-initrd-3.14-pae.txt media
bin menu.lst
boot mnt
cdrom opt
changes.dat pburn_symlink_tree
changes_old.dat persistence
dev proc
etc root
grldr run
home sbin
initrd61.img srv
initrd62.img sys
initrd63.xz tmp
install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz usr
lib var
lib32 vmlinuz1
lib64 vmlinuz6

This does not look good to me and needs more information.
You have in root of sda2:
Yes, this could turn out that things are possibly conflicting somehow, maybe changes.dat labeled persistence and a file named persistence, I don't know but the best thing you can do in my opinion is to start really from scratch, blanco.
Try moving the files from sda2 to somewhere else (most important move changes.dat, persistence)
----------------
Edit: But don't move them to the root of another drive/partition, just inside a folder otherwise it could still be found when in menu.lst changes=/changes.dat
Btw, no other changes.dat or persistence present on another partition? Could conflict also.
----------------
And create new savefile instead.
As before, I keep believing in a simple cause of the problem.
Good luck!

Fred

Hi, Tm_mT.
I agree with Fred. No need to continue further with live-boot-3x and persistence save file. You do not get to password prompt even and the point to use persistence save file was to find out the problem with encrypted changes.dat.
Something in your configuration creates conflict and maybe it is not yet visible for us. Since you have copies of the same initrd*, vmlinuz*, .squashfs in root of sda2 I suggest remove them and leave the files inside /sda2/live only. Remove (or move inside folder in different partition all changes.dat and persistence).
Do the same check in other partitions and make sure you do not have DebianDog files there also.
Most important check that /sda2/live is the only /live folder you have (there is no /live folder on different partition).

Then boot with porteus-boot, create small encrypted changes.dat (1Gb for example) with the built-in Make-Save utility from porteus-boot and see if it works this way after reboot.

sfs-get and smokey-get scripts for testing

#3453 Post by fredx181 »

Hi Toni, All,

Here are sfs-get and smokey-get scripts for testing.
smokey-get is a Gui-script using yad and wget to download from smokey01.com.

The setup for yad multi-progress bars I stole from `piece of art`: 'yad_wget' see here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/463012/h ... gress-bars

Works well with smokey01.com host address but not with google-drive (and probably not with a lot more).
Maybe it's possible, but needs a lot more tricks I think because of redirection.

It's amazing what different things can be done with wget and some grep/sed filtering.

smokey-get inside the sfs-get-smokey-get_1.0.1_i386.deb uses main host directory "http://www.smokey01.com/saintless" but can update/modify itself to another address on http://www.smokey01.com/...

Included 'smokey-get-pemasu' is an example of modified smokey-get by using 'Update url-list' and choosing to change main host directory (changed in this case to MAINHOSTDIR="http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu" and changes also long list CHOICE="........" on top of script).
Updating took some time to complete, didnt't try yet to change/update to "http://www.smokey01.com/01micko", it will probably take even longer.
To update url-list the script needs to be in PATH and (re)named 'smokey-get'
Backup of old smokey-get will be made.

The .deb doesn't install .desktop or menu files so need to type sfs-get or smokey-get in terminal.

I'm not exactly sure this will be useful for anyone (or maybe in some other form), I just like exploring things ;-)
Attached sfs-get_smokey-get.tar.gz (.deb is inside)
Edit: Temporarily removed, needs small fix for update url-list.
Edit2: Fixed url-list updating, re-uploaded

Fred

Thank you, Fred!

Looks great from the screenshots and the information and it will be useful with sure. I will test it in the next days and report the result.

What comes to my mind at the moment it could be used as DebianDog downloader for fixes and new packages available in separate directory in smokey01.com. This way it will be easy to find latest fixes and new package versions from your sfs-get GUI instead serching them with browser in the thread. I think Puppy has some similar tool.

Ok, great, a simplified version for that specially then.

I just thought:
I have a very fast connection so the list gets loaded very quick, when you test it can you notice if it takes long to load list?
There's a 'please wait' message but only when recursive is checked.

Hi, Fred.

Added new directory for testing smokey-get downloading fixes:
http://www.smokey01.com/saintless/DebianDog/Fixes/
It is visible after updating the list but I can see the files for download only if this box is marked - Recursive (loading list will be slower) before click OK button.
If it is not marked I see empty directory without files to download.
Can we have it marked by default and is this the right behaviour to show empty directory or I do something wrong?

Less than a minute for smokey01.com/saintless
I will test this more later with 01micko and different folders.
I think my internet is also fast.

Edit: BTW, your scripts work also in DebianDog-Squeeze :)

Yes, the update url-list makes it suddenly not work anymore, every list is empty.
You are very quick in finding a bug :)
This needs 'fix'

Fred, to explain better the problem I get with empty folders after clicking OK:

If I run smokey-get after installing the deb and choose folder from drop-down list - the folder is populated with files for download.

But if I run Update url-list for smokey01.com/saintless and try to open folder then from drop-down menu - it is empty if check box Recursive (loading list will be slower) is not marked before clicking OK button.

Edit: Sorry, we posted almost at the same time about the same problem. I didn't read your last post. Yes, I usually can't get anything to work right from the first test. Even if there is no bug :)

Thanks, Toni, I see exactly what you mean.
It has to do with slashes at the end of every url which happens after the update url-list.
I think I can fix it tonight.

Hi Toni,

Fixed url-list updating, re-uploaded, see first post about sfs-get_smokey-get.
Recursive checkbox checked by default now (but it should work well for files directly on root of folder without it checked also).
Btw, I noticed, looking at bandwidth used, when scanning (updating or just creating download list) by wget, it's almost nothing, so no worries about speed, concerning that, for someone with slow connection.

pppoe

#3463 Post by Payoon »

Is there a way to connect to the internet with pppoe using the new porteus- wheezy. I installed pppoe.deb with dpkg -i and did the usual pppoe-setup ( pppoe.conf I took from my lucid 528). But after pppoe-start I get a timeout after a while. Unfortunately I have no other way to connect to the internet than by pppoe and my lucid puppy is getting a little outdated and has no apt-get so I plan to switch to porteus-wheezy.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Re: pppoe

#3464 Post by saintless »

Hi, Payoon.
I guess you mean the latest Porteus-Wheezy from Fred here:
http://www.smokey01.com/saintless/Porteus-Wheezy/
I can't really test pppoe connection but maybe you need to install pppoeconf:
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/net/pppoeconf
pppoe:
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/pppoe
and ppp (maybe this one is already included in Porteus-Wheezy):
https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/ppp
And run modprobe (the example is from DebianDog but it should give similar output in Porteus-Wheezy):

Code: Select all

root@debian:~# modprobe -v pppoe
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/kernel/drivers/net/slip/slhc.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/kernel/drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/kernel/drivers/net/ppp/pppox.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486/kernel/drivers/net/ppp/pppoe.ko
Then try typing pppoeconf in terminal and read the instruction here if you find some missing step:
https://wiki.debian.org/PPPoE
I know Frisbee also can configure pppoe so worth trying to test Frisbee first before pppoeconf.

pppoe for porteus wheezy

#3466 Post by Payoon »

Hi Toni
thanks for quick reply. I have done following : install pppoe_3.8-3_i386.deb,ppp_2.4.5-5.1+b1_i386.deb and pppoeconf_1.20_all.deb all with dpkg -i. I have run

Code: Select all

modprobe -v pppoe
=> all modules loaded correctly.

Code: Select all

pppoe-setup
and entered the correct parameters
pppoe-setup says it was succesful

Code: Select all

pppoe-start
=> TIMEOUT!
I will continue to search for a solution and post it if I find one.
Thanks for the help provided.

Thanks Toni, working fine here!
What did you do to make this work without having to log in with new version first?

Another thing, I got the smokey-get script working also with google-drive now.
Please try, I'm curious if it works for you also.
Hope you don't mind I used your google drive address for it.
Attached gdrive-get.tar.gz
Edit: Re-uploaded, changed: curl not checking for certificates.

Sorry, Fred, I get nothing to choose for download from start, or after updating url-lst, with or without Recursive box checked. It shows all folders empty for me but I'm sure it is my ISP problem.

Ok, thanks for testing, not a problem as we don't really need it.
I still am also curious about how you did set up Skype :)

Edit: Sorry, please try one more time again gdrive-get, the script uses also curl and I forgot to let curl skip checking certificates, re-uploaded, see edited previous post.

You have waiting PM in my Outbox the last few hours. Check out your inbox. Maybe it is 100% full? It is simple fix but I prefer not to post it here. The first loophole was closed by Skype team in a week. It will work longer if we keep the secret a way from google search :) The packages are available and ready for use anyway.

Yes, this time works, Fred :) Seems it takes longer to update url-list but I can download files from google drive this time.
