* | PLASMA: add two new packages to the list | ![](//www.gravatar.com/avatar/caef891534164c2e3fee7e102a39cc97?s=13&d=retro) Eric Hameleers | 2020-05-29 | 1 | -0/+2 |

* | Do not autostart latte-dock...Latte-dock depends on the window manager's compositor. If you use
Alt-Shift-F12 in Plasma5 to disable compositing (for instance if
you want to record audio and the compositor is just eating your
precious CPU cycles) then you do not want Latte-dock running.

out of the box.

* | Add a sample script to create a nvidia squashfs module from packages | ![](//www.gravatar.com/avatar/caef891534164c2e3fee7e102a39cc97?s=13&d=retro) Eric Hameleers | 2020-04-30 | 1 | -0/+45 |
* | Make "load=nvidia" work...Using a squashfs module created from nvidia-kernel and nvidia-driver packages.
A sample script for creating this nvidia module was added to liveslak, see:
./contrib/scripts/makemod_nvidia.
These two packages were created using the scripts from slackbuilds.org:
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/nvidia-kernel/
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/nvidia-driver/
Note that the nvidia-driver package was created on a multilib system so that
it could pick up 32bit compat libraries (needed for Steam among others),
and the CURRENT variable was set to 'yes' so that the nvidia drivers are
fully separated from mesa and xorg-server and do not overwrite system libraries:
# COMPAT32="yes" CURRENT="yes" ./nvidia-driver.SlackBuild

* | setup2hd: allow custom UidNumber during user account creation...Do not assume 1000 is a good default for UidNumber in all cases -
it may already have been taken.
Instead, find the first free number above 999.

* | Lots of updates to the package lists for the liveslak 1.3.5.1 release...It's increasingly difficult to keep the XFCE ISO below CDROM media maximum
size, 737.280.000 bytes (703 MB). Concessions had to be made to the list
of applications present in the XFCE ISO.

* | For PAM based system, allow user in 'audio' group to invoke rt capability | ![](//www.gravatar.com/avatar/caef891534164c2e3fee7e102a39cc97?s=13&d=retro) Eric Hameleers | 2020-03-31 | 1 | -0/+9 |
* | Correctly read OS configuration from disk file if present...Liveslak can optionally load a OS config file "@DISTRO@_os.cfg" from within
the 'livemain' directory on the boot medium, which contains "VARIABLE=value"
lines, where VARIABLE is one of the following variables:
BLACKLIST, KEYMAP, LIVE_HOSTNAME, LOAD, LOCALE, LUKSVOL,
NOLOAD, RUNLEVEL, TWEAKS, TZ, XKB.
During boot, any variable from that file will be set in the boot environment
if it has not yet been defined in the init script.
You can prevent this behaviour by adding 'cfg=skip' to the boot commandline.

* | Allow cusomization of the UidNumber for the live user account...By default the UidNumber which is used to create the live account is: 1000.
The variable LIVEUIDNR can be set to another unused value if you want.
Remember, customizations go into 'make_slackware_live.conf'
so that you do not have to edit 'make_slackware_live.sh'.

* | iso2usb.sh: allow custom parition sizing...Some people asked if it could be possible to reserve space on the USB stick
for a custom additional 4th partition, to be used freely and which will not get
touched by liveslak.
So, there is a new parameter to the script now, here is the help text:
-y|--layout <x,x,x,x> Specify partition layout and sizes (in MB).
Default values: '$DEF_LAYOUT' for 3 partitions,
the '-1' value for partition 3 meaning
'use all remaining space',
and an empty 4th value means 'do not reserve
free space for a custom 4th partition'.
The default layout of the USB stick remains:
partition 1 (1MB),
partition 2 (100 MB)
partition 3 (claim all free space - specified as 0 MB).
The script allows for an amount of free space to be left at the end
(partition 4, unused by liveslak) in case you need this:
This translates to the following DEF_LAYOUT variable value:
DEF_LAYOUT="1,100,-1,"

* | setup2hd: several usability improvements...- Include disk partitioning (cgdisk and/or cfdisk) in the setup2hd (calling
new script 'Setudiskpart').
- Create a non-root user and set the root password through dialogs (calling
new scripts 'SeTuacct' and 'SeTupass').
- Attempt to speed up the rsync from the squashfs files to the hard drive.

* | Allow direct scanning via xsane (no temporary intermediate files) in Gimp...This was fixed in Slackware as well in the meantime, but it does not harm
to keep it in here.

* | Remove KDE4BASE and add DAW as a Live Variant....Nobody used the 1 GB ISO with a stripped KDE4 anyway, so I removed it.
DAW is a 'Work In Progress': I want a Ditigal Audio Workstation as a
Live Slackware OS with Plasma5. I want to learn if Plasma5 is lean and
fast enough for realtime audio processing. Probably it also needs PAM,
which will enter the main distro soon.

* | Updates to package lists. Reduce Plasma5 ISO size...Note that the Plasma5 ISO size reduction was achieved by removing
almost all of the 'alien' packages which originate in my regular
package repositories.
Which means if you want a Plasma5 Live with calibre, libreoffice,
qbittorrent, vlc and all the other goodies, you will have to create
a persistent Live USB stick and add my packages as "addon modules".

* | Remove '--no-absolute-filenames' from cpio invocations...Since cpio 2.13, this option strips '/' and '../' from symbolic and
hard links during extraction of a cpio archive like our initramfs.
This is implemented as a fix for CVE-2015-1197 but breaks the initrd.
And leaving out this option does not have the adverse effect
I always thought it would have... archive extraction is still done
into the current directory and not in the filesystem root.

* | liveinit.tpl: explicitly tell udevadm to add newly detected hardware...The default for 'udevadm trigger' is 'change', not 'add', so the scriptline
basically did nothing. This prevented some network devices from getting
initialized because their subsystem is 'pci' and not 'net'.
Thanks to Kanaya for debugging this with his Nvidia MCP51 ethernet device.
