New boot option 'nga' (which stands for 'no glamor acceleration')
adds a configuration file to X.Org. This disables the (now default) glamor
acceleration which causes a X startup failure with the error:
"EGL_MESA_drm_image required; (EE) modeset(0): glamor initialization failed".
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
X.Org in a QEMU VM will refuse to start if glamor is used for 2D acceleration.

After installation to harddisk using the 'setup2hd' script, this
marker file is a Live OS left over and will only cause confusion.

The grep command used so far would find "vim-gvim" when searching for "vim"
because it did not try to match from the beginning of the string.

During setup, a custom keyboard mapping may have been selected.

Thanks to SangDae YU for pointing it out.

Was there from the beginning... glad someone noticed it, thanks SangDae.

The 'setup2hd' script is a modified version of 'setup' in the Slackware
installer, taken straight from the initrd.
The SOURCE selection has been removed since the script knows where to
find the Live media.
Except for the actual extraction of Slackware Live content to your
hard drive, the other hard disk installation steps are unmodified from
the stock Slackware installer.

The script was mixing relative and absolute paths which is confusing.
In the chroot, we do not have to work with relative paths as is the
case with some original Slackware scripts.
|
|
|
|
|

No idea how to do this for grub2 though. The Slackware option in the EFI
boot menu "Detect/boot any installed operating system" doesn't work for me.

It is a requirement to have the Slackware mirror available locally in advance.

Syntax of the new parameter:
-C|--cryptpersistfile size|perc
Explanation:
Use a LUKS-encrypted 'persistence' file instead of a directory
or an un-encrypted file (which is created using the "-P" parameter).
The filename will be 'persistence.img' just like the unencrypted version.
A numerical size in K,M,G or a percentage of available free space
is needed as input value with the "-C" parameter.

A new sample configuration file 'make_slackware_live.conf' shows a
commented-out example of how to use the variables LIVEDE, SEQ_CUSTOM
and a function "custom_config()" to create a Slackware Live variant
which is not covered by the available variants SLACKWARE, XFCE, KDE4,
PLASMA5, MATE or CINNAMON.

If we mounted the media partition in the Live OS, an I/O error will
be the result when the user removes the boot media from the computer.

This is for package lists in "pkglist/" subdirectory where a 3rd party
repository is the package source.
If the pkglists/*.conf file defines a rsync mirror URL in
variable SL_REPO_URL, then instead of aborting with an error when
the local repository directory (SL_REPO) is empty or non-existing,
the packages will be downloaded from that mirror before continuing.

Anything matching ./skel/skel*.txz will be extracted into the Live ISO's
"/etc/skel/" directory by the "make_slackware_live.sh" script.
This allows other people to add application presets for the "live"
user account.
Feature request by Schmatzler for Cinelerra-CV.

Also, make sure that we do not try and make any persistent writes when 'toram'
was specified as a boot parameter, since 'toram' means that the user intends
to remove the boot media afterwards.

- fix detection of german (de) keyboard layout to configure Compose Key,
- actually use field #6 of the languages file (X Keyboard layout & variant)
when generating the grub and syslinux boot configuration files.

This block of code was moved up as part of an earlier attempt to group the
code in more closely-knit blocks.
See commit 4c08b1a2caae4319cd4b97a99a5c387ae86e5fdb .
However, it was moved to far up, so we need to revert.

Or else there will not be sound on first boot.
Not so important for Slackware itself, but a Live distro run from
CD or DVD will never have sound.

Contains bugfixes for the Beta 5 release (0.5.0) prior to public release.

+ livemedia=LIVESLAK
+ livemedia=/dev/sde1

Based on feedback, use Scroll Lock instead of AltGr as the Compose Key.
Also, use 'de-latin1-nodeadkeys' instead of 'de-latin1' for console keyboard
layout, 'de_DE@euro' instead of 'de_DE.utf8' as language definition and
'nodeadkeys' as the X keyboard variant.

Milestones reached:
- Option to use a loop-mounted file for storing persistence data.
When using 'iso2usb.sh' to copy the ISO content to a USB stick, use
the new '-P' parameter to create and use a container file 'persistence.img'.
Note that the existence of a directory 'persistence' in the root of the
Linux partition of your USB stick still takes precedence over the file
'persistence.img'. So be sure to remove that directory first, if you want
to start using a loop-mounted file for persistence.
- New 'toram' boot option (add the word to the syslinux or grub boot
commandline) allows you to run the Live OS completely in RAM. If you are
booting from a CDROM, it will be ejected at the end of the boot process.
A USB stick can be removed manually after booting Slackware Live Edition.
Further interesting updates:
- A new boot parameter 'blacklist' allows you to blacklist certain
kernel modules while booting. Some people need to blacklist the 'nouveau'
module for instance.
Example: add "blacklist=nouveau" to the syslinux or grub boot commandline.
Multiple modules can be specified, separated by commas.
- The XDM login screen now has a button "console" which lets you drop to a
console login if you have no need of a graphical login or don't want to
start an X Session (relevant for the XFCE and MATE variants).
And many other small improvements/bugfixes to the scripts as well of course.

Any kernel modules mentioned here will be added to the modprobe blacklist.
This will help out people who need to blacklist the nouveau driver,
for instance if they have a too-new computer.
Syntax:
blacklist=mod1[,mod2[,...]]

Only relevant if the user added the 'toram' boot option.
