* Make "load=nvidia" work Eric Hameleers2020-04-301-28/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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
* For PAM based system, allow user in 'audio' group to invoke rt capability Eric Hameleers2020-03-311-0/+9
|
* Allow cusomization of the UidNumber for the live user account Eric Hameleers2020-03-311-1/+4
| | | | | | | 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'.
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.51.3.5 Eric Hameleers2020-02-201-1/+1
|
* make_slackware_live.sh code to transform the new templates into scripts Eric Hameleers2020-02-201-1/+11
|
* Allow direct scanning via xsane (no temporary intermediate files) in Gimp Eric Hameleers2020-02-201-0/+6
| | | | | This was fixed in Slackware as well in the meantime, but it does not harm to keep it in here.
* make_slackware_live.sh: some cosmetic fixes. Eric Hameleers2020-02-201-58/+67

* Remove KDE4BASE and add DAW as a Live Variant. Eric Hameleers2020-02-201-11/+85
| | | | | | | | 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 Eric Hameleers2019-12-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | 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 Eric Hameleers2019-11-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | 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.
* PLASMA5: set the OS name to 'Slackware Live' in 'System Information' Eric Hameleers2019-11-131-0/+4

* NFS root (PXE boot): add virtio drivers required for older VM Eric Hameleers2019-11-021-20/+22
| | | | | The virtio_pci driver is required in some cases when using older types of virtual machine software.

* make_slackware_live.sh: small cleanup Eric Hameleers2019-05-111-1/+0
|
* Make the '-m' commandline switch more universal Eric Hameleers2019-04-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | The '-m' parameter of the 'make_slackware_live.sh' script allows you to add more packages to the Live ISO without modifying any of the script's "SEQ_*" package sequence variables. However, the script would prepend "pkglist:" to the argument value, which is redundant since 'pkglist' is the default anyway. By removing this prepend string we can now allow a syntax like this: "-m local:foo" to add a series of packages in the subdirectory 'foo' of the 'local' (or 'local64') directory more easily.
* Add missing template vars to upslak.sh Eric Hameleers2019-04-141-1/+2
| | | | | Several template vars were added to liveinit.tpl but I had forgotten to also incorporate those in the upslak.sh script.
* Configure kdesu to use sudo instead of su Eric Hameleers2019-02-271-0/+7
| | | | | That will cause kdesu to ask for the 'live' password instead of the 'root' password.
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.1.11.3.1.1 Eric Hameleers2019-02-151-1/+1
| | | | Minor version bump in order to release a new Plasma5 Live ISO.
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.11.3.1 Eric Hameleers2019-02-151-1/+1
| | | | Main highlight is that PXE booting is working again.
* Fix PXE boot. Fix pxeserver. Add support for PXE-booting UEFI-based PC's Eric Hameleers2019-02-151-5/+9
| | | | Note that UEFI PXE-boot is not yet working, I do not know why.
* Add grub-mkimage to the list of required programs Eric Hameleers2019-02-151-2/+2
|
* Quell the noise generated by dhcpcd on boot Eric Hameleers2019-01-231-0/+4
|
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.0.21.3.0.2 Eric Hameleers2019-01-171-1/+1
|
* Follow the Slackware init with respect to readonly root on boot Eric Hameleers2019-01-171-3/+0
| | | | | The live init script creates a /etc/fastboot file to prevent any file system check on boot. This is cleaner than hacking rc.S and failing.
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.0.11.3.0.1 Eric Hameleers2019-01-051-1/+1
|
* KDE4: take care of changes in search/semantic backends Eric Hameleers2019-01-051-5/+10
| | | | | - virtuoso-ose is no longer part of Slackware. - akonadi backend to be used is now called SQLITE instead of SQLITE3
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.01.3.0 Eric Hameleers2018-09-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The fairly large version bump is warranted because this is the first release to support zstd compression. The resulting ISO will boot to a usable desktop environment almost twice as fast as previous releases of liveslak. THe runtime behaviour will also be a lot snappier. This should make a lot of people happy. Note that I have to keep the XFCE ISO xz-compressed to keep its size below 703 MB. The other ISOs will use zstd compression, adding roughly 10% to the ISO size but speeding up the Live OS with 60% or more.
* Make the default language of the Live ISO configurable Eric Hameleers2018-09-041-11/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added a new parameter to 'make_slackware_live.sh' script: -l <localization> For example, create a liveslak ISO with dutch as the default language instead of US english: # ./make_slackware_live.sh -l nl Using this parameter you can onfigure a different default language for the resulting ISO image. The default localization if you do not supply this parameter remains "us" as before. The boot menu offers a selection of other languages/localizations to pick from (currently you can select any of 'be br da gb de de_ch es fr fr_ch it ja nl pt ru se us') but now you can create your own brand of liveslak ISO with your own language as the default.
* XFCE: some more pruning of large files to keep ISO size below 703 MB Eric Hameleers2018-09-041-2/+20

* Finish the zstd compression implementation in liveslak Eric Hameleers2018-09-011-20/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new zstd compression support for squashfs modules allows for a much snappier system because zstd decompression is 5 times faster than that of xz (see https://sourceforge.net/p/squashfs/mailman/message/35989805/), but at the expense of ISO sizes that are at least 10% bigger. The latter means that we have to do some more pruning of the XFCE and PLASMA5 images to make these fit in a CDROM and DVD image, respectively. Here are some initial benchmarks with PLASMA5 Live ISO images, booting in QEMU (times are in minutes:seconds): Stage ZSTD XZ --------------------------------------- Boot to runlevel 4 start 0:39 0:50 SDDM Login Manager visible 0:55 1:26 Plasma5 desktop ready 1:42 3:17 I also tested two of the bigger applications, measuring the time between entering the command in a terminal and having a usable application window: Stage ZSTD XZ ---------------------------------------- LO Writer window visible 0:17 0:34 Chromium window visible 0:09 0:14 It is obvious that a big Desktop Environment like Plasma5 where a lot of binaries have to be loaded from their squashfs modules benefits a lot from zstd, because after booting, the Plasma5 DE is available in roughly 53% of the time it takes when using xz compression. Zstd support in squashfs was added to Linux kernel 4.14. That means, no customimzation of Slackware is required to make the Live OS work from zstd-compressed squashfs modules. In order to *create* these zstd-compressed squashfs modules, you will need some custom packages at the moment, until they get added to Slackware-current: zstd and a rebuild squashfs-tools to add the lacking zstd support to mksqhashfs/unsquashfs.
* XFCE: some more pruning to manage the ISO back below CDROM max size Eric Hameleers2018-09-011-1/+3

* When installing local packages from subdir, use 'upgradepkg' Eric Hameleers2018-09-011-1/+2
| | | | | The old use of 'installpkg' prevented upgrading an already present package while 'upgradepkg --install-new' allows for all options.
* XFCE: update the package list so that the ISO stays below CDROM size Eric Hameleers2018-09-011-2/+2
| | | | | Also, split 'x_base' into 'noxbase' and 'x_base' so that in future we can create a 'rescue' option using just 'min' and 'noxbase'.
* Add zstd compression support for squashfs modules Eric Hameleers2018-08-261-7/+31
| | | | | | | | | This will provide compression ratios approaching those of xz, while achieving decompression rations similar to lzo (5 times faster than xz). We will need to have a zstd package in Slackware first, and then rebuild squashfs-tools to add zstd support.
* Rename some variables in anticipation of adding zstd compression support Eric Hameleers2018-08-261-7/+7
