* Use more compatible isohybrid commandline parameters. Eric Hameleers2016-01-011-16/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | This modifies Didier's original patch with a simpler set of parameters. His recommendations are based on these threads: http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-February/023256.html http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2015-May/023455.html http://www.syslinux.org/archives/2014-July/022538.html The new parameters allow the big ISOs to be booted in VBox. Patch proposed by Didier Spaier.
* Generate our own Grub font files, to fix the bad font rendering at UEFI boot. Eric Hameleers2016-01-014-5/+15
| | | | | Slackware's shipped Grub font is 19 point in size which does not scale well. Research and proposed patch by Didier Spaier.
* Updated skeleton files for populating the 'live' user's homedirectory.Beta3 Eric Hameleers2015-12-241-0/+0
|
* Updated package lists for non-Slackware and custom configurations. Eric Hameleers2015-12-245-159/+174
|
* In XDM's Xresources file, try to handle varying screen sizes better. Eric Hameleers2015-12-241-7/+7
|
* Clear the syslinux menu from the screen when booting the OS. Eric Hameleers2015-12-241-0/+1
|
* Add a themed GRUB2 menu for UEFI boot, these are the actual files used. Eric Hameleers2015-12-248-210/+98
|
* Much enhanced iso2usb script. Eric Hameleers2015-12-241-37/+88
| | | | | | | | | Two new parameters '--force' and '--persistence'. Read "usb2iso.sh --help". Size of the EFI partition was reduced from 200 to 100 MB. The wait-for-root time in the initrd.img file is changed for both BIOS and UEFI boot; this should make boot work out of the box for most computers. More robustness was added in handling race conditions. Only make the USB stick UEFI-bootable if the ISO file is capable of the same.
* Add themed GRUB2 configuration for UEFI boot. Eric Hameleers2015-12-241-20/+99
| | | | | | | The GRUB2 theme is similar to the Syslinux theme used for BIOS boot. However, the GRUB menu also allows the user to select a timezone, whereas due to the limitations of syslinux, you'll have to edit the syslinux commandline to change your timezone there.
* Add Mate repository info if we are adding slackpkg+. Eric Hameleers2015-12-241-3/+4
|
* Start Konsole with a login shell. Eric Hameleers2015-12-241-0/+9
| | | | However... does not seem to work for non-US language choices.
* Stamp a VERSION number in the ISO, and to the USB partition. Eric Hameleers2015-12-242-8/+20
|
* Make the init more robust. Eric Hameleers2015-12-241-10/+38
| | | | | | | The computer may have other partitions which contain a Live image, we need to choose one. Alternatively, use "livemedia=/dev/sdX" to point init to the Live device we want to boot.
* Delete ALSA state file, the Live OS may be booted on different computers. Eric Hameleers2015-12-241-0/+3
|
* Some small tweaks. Eric Hameleers2015-12-231-2/+3
|
* This marker is no longer used. Eric Hameleers2015-12-231-2/+6
|
* Add a softvol pre-amp to ALSA - some computers have too low audio volume. Eric Hameleers2015-12-231-0/+16
|
* Enable NFS client support if possible: Eric Hameleers2015-12-231-0/+3
|
* Copy our skeleton configuration correctly to the live user's $HOME. Eric Hameleers2015-12-231-1/+5
|
* Let Xscreensaver show a blank screen only. Eric Hameleers2015-12-231-0/+4
|
* liveinit: add debug code for development (disabled by default). Eric Hameleers2015-12-161-0/+21
|
* Packages with directories in /tmp will cause the script to abort during cleanup. Eric Hameleers2015-12-161-0/+2
| | | | | This will catch accidental source configuration issues, happens with KDE from time to time.
* Set ownership of SDDM homedirectory recursively. Eric Hameleers2015-12-161-1/+1
|
* Make the configuration of the Live environment less verbose. Eric Hameleers2015-12-161-3/+3
| | | | There is no added value in seeing all the executed commands scroll by.
* Mount a RAM based filesystem on /var/tmp to prevent wear of the USB medium. Eric Hameleers2015-12-161-0/+1
|
* Make the marker used for finding the Slackware Live files configurable. Eric Hameleers2015-12-161-4/+12
| | | | Configured in variable MARKER, the default value is "SLACKWARELIVE".
* Add the liveslak scripts to the Live OS ISO. Eric Hameleers2015-12-161-0/+4
|
* Use terminus font 'ter-i16v.psf' as the syslinux console font. Eric Hameleers2015-12-072-3/+14
| | | | Patch proposed by Didier Spaier.
* pkglists/xbase.lst: add missing gnome-keyring plus gcr depencency. Eric Hameleers2015-12-071-0/+2
|
* Make the isohybrid command more compatible with older BIOS. Eric Hameleers2015-12-041-3/+21
| | | | | | Specifying heads and sectors also eliminates the warnings about using more than 1024 cylinders. Patch submitted by Didier Spaier.
* Explicitly mount /tmp on a tmpfs, this is better for the USB stick's health. Eric Hameleers2015-12-041-4/+7
| | | | | | | Not an issue for a Live Edition running exclusively in RAM, but things are different when you create a USB stick with persistence. The /tmp would then be created on the USB stick and the continuous writes will degrade the flash medium.
* Fix the broken implementation of custom default runlevel. Eric Hameleers2015-12-021-5/+10
|
* Fix for the looping XDM when trying to start a Mate or Cinnamon X session. Eric Hameleers2015-12-021-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Evidence in ~live/.xsession-errors: XDM authorization key matches an existing client! cinnamon-session: Cannot open display: . Rationale copied from the page where I found the fix - http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Re-ports-154502-x11-xdm-authorization-failure-when-used-with-E17-window-manager-td5819660.html The cause is that the implementation of XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 is broken if applications execve or unload/reload libX11/libxcb between connections to the X server. More information can be found in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486606 Since it is unclear whether XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 will be fixed and if so, where, I think it is best to disable it in xdm. It looks like adding --disable-xdm-auth to xdm's configure flags will do this but I have not tested it. I think the security impact is minimal; gdm does not use XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 either.
* Add support for creating a Cinnamon Live ISO. Eric Hameleers2015-12-025-7/+72
| | | | | Thanks to Willy Sudiarto Raharjo for the repository. Also, renamed Willy's 'MSB' Live Edition to 'MATE'.
* Add Portuguese language support to Plasma 5 Live. Eric Hameleers2015-12-021-0/+1
|
* Add support for alternative directorynames of 'persistence' and 'liveslak'. Eric Hameleers2015-12-022-10/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | The persistence directory on USB is called 'persistence' by default but can now be re-defined when running 'make_slackware_live.sh' to create the ISO. Additionally it can be changed dynamically on boot of the Live OS by adding a 'persistence=<dirname>' parameter to the boot. The Live OS main directory is called 'liveslak' by default but can now be re-defined when running 'make_slackware_live.sh' to create the ISO. Additionally it can be changed dynamically on boot of the Live OS by adding a 'livemain=<dirname>' parameter to the boot.
