DEVILDOG!!! A Linux for Satan!!!

[Devil.Dog]

so ...

the 3.14.n kernel actually needs patching to install the 14.4 ati / fglrx driver correctly.

didn't see that coming.

found a patch - applied it - fully compiled the driver - restarted - tested - all good - installing compiz - BATTERY FLAT! NooOOoOooOOoOoOOooo!!!

ok ... well ... redo tonight but can confirm that Debian kernel-3.14-0.bpo.1-686-Pae can be made to run the fglrx driver.... it also fixes my touchscreen - hoot hoot hoot!

Im alot happier about this more modern kernel - its the first we tried but FAILED to direct render first time round.

Ill post the new version tonight maybe !

Hi, Devil.Dog.
Just checked the first two posts and downloaded 061-dd-0.2-base.3.14.0.bpo-pae.squashfs. I see you added full build environment and separate DEVX is not needed anymore for DevilDog.
Unfortunately i don't have proper hardware to test it but if you like to make it smaller I suggest to test extracting the module (example in /live/image):

Code: Select all

unsquashfs -d /live/image/working-dir /path-to/061-dd-0.2-base.3.14.0.bpo-pae.squashfs

Remove /live/image/working-dir/opt (I think /opt it is the same as inside 01-filesystem.squashfs).
Remove /live/image/working-dir/lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486 (I think /lib/modules/3.2.0-4-486 it is the same as inside 01-filesystem.squashfs).
And repack it again (example for maximum xz compression - smallest size):

Code: Select all

mksquashfs /live/image/working-dir /path-to-new/061-dd-0.2-base.3.14.0.bpo-pae.squashfs -comp xz -b 1024k -Xbcj x86

I also think you can boot without /live/image/live/026-kernel-3.14.0.bpo-pae.squashfs because the same kernel is already full size and patched inside 061-dd-0.2-base.3.14.0.bpo-pae.squashfs /lib/modules/3.14-0.bpo.1-686-pae
I think you can use only vmlinuz6 and initrd63.xz from 026-kernel-3.14-Pae.tar.gz to boot.

When you are ready with final DevilDog version I can try to make more suggestions for slimming down the squashfs module size if you want.

Great job patching 3.14-Pae kernel ati driver!

[Devil.Dog]

: )

Hi Saintless!

Yeah you're right - the ati driver is the only item using the compiler at the moment.
DEVX / compiler could be alot slimmer and still set that up correctly.

ATI driver yeah ... solution on a mandriva site hoot hoot !!!

Needs to loose weight. When we get to v0.9 Ill start worrying about size.

V0.3 after the weekend!

PS. ty for including these below I would have suffered remembering how!

unsquashfs -d /live/image/working-dir /path-to/061-dd-0.2-base.3.14.0.bpo-pae.squashfs
and...
mksquashfs /live/image/working-dir /path-to-new/061-dd-0.2-base.3.14.0.bpo-pae.squashfs -comp xz -b 1024k -Xbcj x86

Code: Select all

aptitude install xdotool xprintidle
... or ...
apt-get install xdotool xprintidle

and copy this script into somewhere u can make executable

Code: Select all

#compiz screensaver replacement script
#hold down middle mouse...
#on my setup that's 'rotate cube'
xdotool mousedown 2

#get time since last user interaction
d=$(export DISPLAY=:0 && xprintidle)
y=$d

sleep 6

#get new time since last user interaction
d=$(export DISPLAY=:0 && xprintidle)


until (( d < y ))
do

#get new time since last user interaction
d=$(export DISPLAY=:0 && xprintidle)

#move mouse to right
xdotool mousemove_relative --sync 2 0

sleep 0.0666

#again
done

#release mouse button
xdotool mouseup 2

Its a little twitchy - but basically works well enough.

[Devil.Dog]

Its a little twitchy - but basically works well enough.

^^ scratch that ... the compiz script above is BETTER than the original because it allows me to orientate the screen before it starts rolling!

: )

Nasty bug in Gnome Media Player...

Left click + hold the volume button... at the same time click the right mouse button... Broken sound system! Audio becomes mute across the entire audio platform.

: (

I realised earlier that our objectives are nearly met.
The ASUS X102B hardware platform is supported.
The beautiful compiz desktop is running.
WIndows is unharmed.
Everyone who sees DevilDog running is 'ooooh.... ahhhh....!!!'
And of course many souls have been harvested.
So that's a success, right?!

: )

DD 0.3 will be released before next weekend.
Again its a complete reroll featuring a DEVX development environment.

Noticed certain software seems to break OPENGL.

This package is a forced reinstallation of the FGLRX driver.

But, hey, it might work on other DEBIANDOG 314 installations with no ATI driver. 45mb in size.

Thank you, Devil.Dog!
I will ask the next person looking for ATI driver for DebianDog to test it.

[Devil.Dog]

The NVIDIA-Linux-96-43-23 drivers don't work on modern kernels.

SEE:

https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topi ... 11-needed/

There is a patched runfile here:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-eorm- ... edit?pli=1

I *should* check that runfile (mysterious anon source etc).

[Devil.Dog]

Hmmmm....

DD has run for over a year on various platforms. Its been my main OS all this time and has been ... magnificent.

I moved on to other stuff some time ago ... simply because the Debian base to this release has been so stable I haven't had to worry about it!

My next venture in OS is an exploration of high throughput computing, and an attempt to build a viable HTC from spare computing cycles gathered from the wilds of the internet. I can't wait!
