* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.9.41.3.9.4 Eric Hameleers2021-06-161-1/+1
* Try to reduce ISO size a bit through more zstd compression Eric Hameleers2021-06-161-1/+1
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.9.31.3.9.3 Eric Hameleers2021-04-071-1/+1
* Change domain 'example.net' to 'home.arpa' following RFC8375...Excerpt from RFC 8375 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8375): Users and devices within a home network (hereafter referred to as "homenet") require devices and services to be identified by names that are unique within the boundaries of the homenet [RFC7368]. The naming mechanism needs to function without configuration from the user. While it may be possible for a name to be delegated by an ISP, homenets must also function in the absence of such a delegation. This document reserves the name 'home.arpa.' to serve as the default name for this purpose, with a scope limited to each individual homenet. Eric Hameleers2021-03-061-2/+2
* NetworkManager dhcp client configuration is now in conf.d subdirectory Eric Hameleers2021-02-201-1/+1
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.9.11.3.9.1 Eric Hameleers2021-02-151-2/+2
* New slackpkg installs a mirrors file with incorrect mirror enabled Eric Hameleers2021-02-151-0/+2
* Silence a few harmless error messages from chpasswd...We will catch the error anyway and invoke chpasswd with different syntax. Eric Hameleers2021-02-151-5/+5
* The 'chpassword -R' segfaults in some cases, us a chroot as fallback Eric Hameleers2021-01-271-4/+12
* Use 'chpassword -R' instead of chrooting...According to bug report, this is now needed on Slackware 14.2 when generating a -current Live ISO. PAM is probably to blame: >chpasswd: (user root) pam_chauthtok() failed, error: >Authentication token manipulation error >chpasswd: (line 1, user root) password not changed Eric Hameleers2021-01-241-4/+4
* XFCE: llvm libraries are needed by mesa DRI libraries unfortunately Eric Hameleers2021-01-171-1/+1
* DAW: add Console OS boot option Eric Hameleers2021-01-171-2/+2
* Implement a small Console OS - a rescue environment in RAM...This uses two squashfs modules that are currently only found in the LEAN and XFCE images: 'min' and 'noxbase'. These two provide a functional console-only Slackware with a lot of useful programs. It will connect to a DHCP server automatically and it also contains the 'setup2hd' script to be able to install Slackware from a network mirror. And since the Console OS gets loaded into RAM, you can remove your USB stick after booting and use that stick for other purposes. Use-case: - You have one computer with a network connection and one USB stick, and want to create a persistent Slackware Live on USB. - Download an ISO supporting 'Console OS' to the computer's hard drive, and transfer the ISO to the USB stick using the computer's ISO imaging tools, making the stick bootable but not persistent. - Boot from the USB stick, select the "Console OS in RAM" option. - After you logged into the Console Slackware, mount the computer's hard drive. - Use the 'iso2usb.sh' script that comes with liveslak to extract the ISO content to the USB stick, making it persistent. See the README.txt for instructions. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Implemented as an extension of the liveslak 'toram' boot parameter. Adding 'toram=core' to the boot commandline will load circa 500 MB of squashfs modules into RAM and boot into a sparse but functional console environment. For supported Live variants (currently LEAN and XFCE) the script 'make_slackware_live.sh' will automatically add a menu item "Console OS in RAM" to the Syslinux and Grub bootloaders, using this 'toram=core' parameter. TODO: add this as an option to all liveslak variants. Not so trivial to do. 1.3.9 Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-24/+53
* XFCE: start CUPS only if cupsd is installed Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-2/+6
* Add Kwayland profile scripts to make Plasma Wayland behave better...Implementing LuckyCyborg's proposal from this post: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/requests-for-current-14-2-15-0-a-4175620463/page432.html#post6206168 Let's see whether this works. Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-0/+18
* Add a .screenrc file for some more comfort during SCREEN sessions Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-0/+43
* Fix the rc.gpm script generation Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-13/+14
* No longer make 'us american english' the default for liveslak...Define a 'generic english' to be the new default, with UTC as its timezone. Eric Hameleers2021-01-121-5/+12
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.8.41.3.8.4 Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-1/+1
* Add a new live variant: LEAN...The new 'LEAN' variant of liveslak is a 1.5 GB ISO, containing basic but powerful XFCE and Plasma5 desktop environments. Useful if you want a small-ish Live OS but you feel that the XFCE ISO is too seveery stripped for your purposes. Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-2/+8
* Fix /etc/localtime file, needs to be a symlink Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-7/+5
* DAW: updated package lists and fixing menu icon display Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-3/+3
* Some cosmetic changes to comments Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-3/+3
* PLASMA5 variant renamed to KTOWN...Since Plasma5 is now actually a part of Slackware, renaming the old PLASMA5 variant to KTOWN signals where these packages are coming from. The KTOWN variant will be used again once new development of ktown packages commences (perhaps offering Plasma6). Eric Hameleers2021-01-061-17/+14
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.8.3...Small version bump needed for a re-spin of the DAW ISO. The new kernel enabled a PC Speaker driver which grabbed the default hardware device and JACK does not work with it. Patrick has now blacklisted snd-pcsp in the eudev package, and all is well again. 1.3.8.3 Eric Hameleers2020-12-301-1/+1
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.8.21.3.8.2 Eric Hameleers2020-12-281-1/+1
* DAW: make all plugins available to the user Eric Hameleers2020-12-281-0/+6
* Fix logic error in finding package full name from its basename Eric Hameleers2020-12-281-1/+1
* DAW: some of the configuration has moved from liveslak to daw_base package Eric Hameleers2020-12-281-15/+30
* Attempt to let polkit treat 'wheel' group members as admins Eric Hameleers2020-12-281-0/+8
* Prefer ktown 'latest' to 'testing' repository...The 'testing' repository is not guaranteed to be available. Eric Hameleers2020-12-281-5/+5
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.8.11.3.8.1 Eric Hameleers2020-12-131-1/+1
* I like my konsole better with black text on white background Eric Hameleers2020-12-131-0/+9
* Allow support scripts to use the LIVEUIDNR variable Eric Hameleers2020-12-131-0/+2
* DAW: package list files got renamed and their content restructured Eric Hameleers2020-12-131-2/+2
* SLACKWARE: there is no more kdei package series Eric Hameleers2020-12-081-1/+1
* Prepare for inclusion of Plasma5 into Slackware...Like with KDE4, apply the Plasma5 related configuration only (and always) in case a Plasma5 installation is detected. This de-couples it from supporting only specific variants like PLASMA5 or DAW, because SLACKWARE will include Plasma5 as well. Eric Hameleers2020-12-071-5/+6
* Apply realtime configuration only for the DAW/STUDIOWARE variants Eric Hameleers2020-12-071-2/+2
* Slackware Live Edition: version 1.3.81.3.8 Eric Hameleers2020-12-061-1/+1
* Add getfattr to the live initrd, to read extended attributes...The busybox does not (no longer?) have this tool. Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-0/+6
* PLASMA5: start konsole with a login shell Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-0/+15
* Fix use of 'live' instead of '$LIVEUID' Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-1/+1
* PLASMA5: Remove broken/unwanted shortcuts (discover/konqueror) from taskbar Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-0/+5
* Only configure KDE4 if it is actually installed into the Live OS Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-43/+49
* Add a ~/.bashrc file for the user Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-0/+7
* Fix the help text for the '-t' parameter to make_slackware_live.sh Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-1/+1
* make_slackware_live.sh: expand the '-t' parameter functionality...Add a new value 'bloat'. Possible values are now: -t <none|doc|mandoc|bloat> With the documentation: Trim the ISO (remove man and/or doc and/or bloat). The 'value 'doc' will cause most of the documentation to be removed (READMEs and LICENSE files will be retained). Using 'mandoc' will not just remove documentation but additionally all man pages from the ISO. The value 'bloat' removes a lot more, like static libraries, big shared libraries, un-needed binaries etc. This is what is used by default when the 'XFCE' live variant is built to ensure that the ISO size stays below 700MB. Note that from now on, you can build a XFCE ISO that has *nothing* pruned at all! This will increase the size of the ISO, but if you were not going to burn the ISO to a CDROM medium then that ISO size is not relevant anyway. Example commandline: # make_slackware_live.sh -d XFCE -t none -c zstd This will generate a XFCE ISO without any 'bloat' removed, and using 'zstd' compression instead of 'xz' which will increase the size with an additional 10% but will cause the Live OS to boot significantly faster due to faster decompression speeds of zstd.

* Add 'rtl_nic' to network firmware list for PXE boot from a NFS root Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-1/+1
* Add package blacklist per variant...This was needed when new ibus based imput-methods were added to testing 'vtown' and all scim packages needed to be blacklisted. Also, fixed a syntax issue in the package installation function. Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-1/+19
* XFCE: use mcpp as preprocessor to determine XDM login-box position...Since gcc was removed from the XFCE Live, but XDM needs a C Preprocessor in order to calculate the position of the login box on the screen, I added 'mcpp' as an external package. Mcpp is a small C preprocessor which is sufficiently compatible with cpp. Eric Hameleers2020-12-051-1/+9
