* Get rid of udev errors about obex-check-device on boot. Eric Hameleers2016-01-291-0/+4
| | | | | | | | The mkinitrd script adds /lib/udev/rules.d/60-openobex.rules to the initrd image, but since the rest of the openobex package is not added, this results in a "error: obex-check-device not found". We do not need bluetooth stuff in the initrd anyway, so we remove the rules file manually from the initrd until mkinitrd gets fixed.
* Slackware Live Edition: version 0.4.0 (aka Beta4)0.4.0 Eric Hameleers2016-01-221-1/+1
| | | | | Milestone reached: - add LUKS-encrypted /home/.
* Add support for a LUKS-encrypted /home in the USB Live version. Eric Hameleers2016-01-221-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Using iso2usb.sh script's new '-c' parameter, you can define the size for a container file in the root of the USB stick's Linux partition. - The container file will be loop-mounted and LUKS-encrypted and the Live OS will mount the filesystem inside the container on /home/. - The LUKS passphrase will be defined when executing the 'iso2usb.sh' script. - The original /home content of the ISO will be copied into the LUKS-encrypted container during execution of the 'iso2usb.sh' script. - If for whatever reason you do not want to unlock & mount the LUKS container during boot, you must add the boot parameter " luksvol= " to the syslinux or grub commandline.
* Ensure that rc.pulseaudio is not started. Eric Hameleers2016-01-221-0/+1
|
* Readability changes to various comments in the script. Eric Hameleers2016-01-221-6/+7
|
* Enable mouse support in runlevel 3. Eric Hameleers2016-01-221-0/+21
|
* Fix kernel version detection. Eric Hameleers2016-01-151-3/+5
| | | | | The new kernel has version number '4.4.0'. Yet the kernel package names, like the kernel source tarball, has a version '4.4'. We need to compensate.
* Do not overwrite /etc/asound.conf Eric Hameleers2016-01-151-2/+6
| | | | | | | Slackware has added PulseAudio plus a /etc/asound.conf file, which configures all ALSA output as an input to PA. An ALSA softvol pre-amp is therefore no longer needed and our Live script should not overwrite the /etc/asound.conf file in the OS.
* Add 2016 in the copyright line. Eric Hameleers2016-01-151-1/+1
|
* VERSION bump from Beta 3 (aka 0.3) to 0.3.8. Eric Hameleers2016-01-141-1/+1
| | | | | | Roadmap: v0.3.9: adding LUKS encrypted /home v0.4 (Beta4): LUKS home setup stable enough for public consumption.
* Do not add Nvidia proprietary drivers to the Full Slackware ISO. Eric Hameleers2016-01-101-4/+10
| | | | | | | | | | The customized ISOs (Slackware plus 3rd party software) can include the proprietary drivers, but the Full Slackware ISO is meant as a demo for official Slackware and therefore should not include 3rd party packages. If you respin the SLACKWARE ISO, it is of course still possible to add the binary Nvidia blob yourself by copying the graphics/*nvidia*.szx file to the 'optional' directory yourself. Nothing else is needed, it will 'just' work.
* Fixes for SDDM and X keyboard mapping. Eric Hameleers2016-01-101-0/+18
|
* BIOS (syslinux) and UEFI (grub2) boot: enhance the experience. Eric Hameleers2016-01-101-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - generate the grub fonts (.pf2) ourselves instead of using the Slackware-provided grub font file. - expand the help text about the boot parameters. - show the liveslak version number in the boot menu. - remove the 'boot any OS' menu item in Grub because it never worked for me. - add a bit of Grub help text at the bottom of the screen. NOTES: - I do not like the way how I had to implement the Grub2 help menu, it is ugly. Perhaps the text artefacts and understrikes are caused by the fact that the grub console has to paint on top of the graphical boot menu? - In any case, the grub console (the black rectangle in the middle) has its coordinates hard-coded in the grub2 source so it is not configurable. - the grub fonts look better than in Beta3 but I am still not happy with them. Research on Grub boot menu enhancements done by Didier Spaier.
* Added support for separate configuration of X keyboard layout/variant. Eric Hameleers2016-01-051-11/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | New parameter for the boot commandline: xkb=[language],variant Examples: # Only specify a Xkbvariant, and inherit the console keyboard layout in X: kbd=nl xkb=,sundeadkeys # Define a 'french swiss' layout in X, independent of the console: xkb=ch,fr Two new keyboard/language choices have been added which use this functionality: - german swiss - french swiss (requested by Niki Kovacs). New: if a non-US keyboard layout is selected, the US layout will be added as a secondary layout. Toggling between the two layouts is possible using the Shift-LeftAlt key combo. Also new: the RightAlt key is now defined as the Compose Key in X. Meaning, the combo <RightAlt><"><e> will generate a 'ë character'.
* 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 Hameleers2016-01-011-1/+9
| | | | | Slackware's shipped Grub font is 19 point in size which does not scale well. Research and proposed patch by Didier Spaier.
* 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 Hameleers2015-12-241-7/+13
|
* 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
|
* 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 Hameleers2015-12-071-3/+13
| | | | Patch proposed by Didier Spaier.
* 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
|
* Add support for creating a Cinnamon Live ISO. Eric Hameleers2015-12-021-7/+17
| | | | | Thanks to Willy Sudiarto Raharjo for the repository. Also, renamed Willy's 'MSB' Live Edition to 'MATE'.
* Add support for alternative directorynames of 'persistence' and 'liveslak'. Eric Hameleers2015-12-021-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
