[FIXED, but note config debug] cooking upgrade breaks pm-suspend, autoconnect

ultrarad — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 06:47:37 +0200

pm-suspend:

on resume, screen does not unblank and keyboard locks up (no caps-lock responsivity) although cdrom reads disk.

tried unloading wireless modules, and various --quirk combinations which were necessary in the past but not before upgrade, to no effect.

I believe this is due to the kernel build and not pm-utils because pm-suspend did work after upgrade but before reboot.

networking:
after reboot, it's necessary to manually udhcpc, whereas before upgrade this was auomatic.

booting a flavor over the internet

alfa16vjtd — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 14:37:28 +0100

Hi shouldn't it be nice to add the possibility to boot a flavor over the internet?
I'm searching for a live os who can boot from the internet so i always have
a rescuekit who is up to date. Maybe it's even possible to add this by example
to the users profile? (user could by example upload scripts who they can only run
on the computer they have booted on)

Create a Loram-cdrom of my own

moulefrite — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 09:28:06 +0100

Hi,

I would like to create a sort of mix between normal and loramcdrom flavor.

I want the basic 30mb Slitaz to boot in ram , but want to store all added heavy software (such openoffice) in the /usr (as on loram) but not stored in RAM (as loramcdrom does).

How can I create a liveCd in this way with Tazlito ?

NEW Installing downloaded app Pls help

vanlore — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 23:08:32 +0100

I am using stable version 3.0

i have a .deb installer and a .rpm installer and a .sh installer. So how do i use any of them? Clicking on it has not helped.

I wanted to play my games on linux so i downloaded the trial of "crossover" for linux at downloaded http://www.codeweavers.com/products/ They offer a .deb installer and a .rpm installer and a .sh installer. So when I click on any of them it asks me what I want to open the program with. I have tried to open it with many things to no avial. Maybe someone could take a look at the site and see if its possible to install it on Slitaz. If you want to see the files yourself all they want for the trail is your name and a e mail after that they will send you the download site.

I am a linux noob so I checked the hand book for Slitaz but I could not find anything about installing something I downlaoded from a site. Thank you for any help you might be able to offer.

Sorry for poor grammar....

grub install fails

tulasacra — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 14:34:06 +0200

hi ..i had 1 hdd split to 2 ntfs partitions

installed slitaz to the second
grub install at the end faield due to "The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly"
reinstalling grub ends in the same result

gparted shows hda1 as ntfs and hda2 as ext3
fdisk -l shows both as ntfs

linux shows itself installed on hda2
windows xp sees hda2 but empty

grub does not show itself during booting ..winows fires right away (and thats not what grub should do according to its config ..so its not there)

how to fix this please? :) iv tried some googling about grub install problems but nothing of that helped ..i think fdisk showing hda2 as ntfs is the problem

How to edit initramfs to control startup?

avamk — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 09:09:07 +0100

Hello,

I would like to setup (1) VBoxTool to automatically start a VirtualBox virtual machine upon boot, and (2) early-ssh to start dropbear in initramfs so that I can SSH into the machine to decrypt my LUKS/crypt-setup protected system partition so that SliTaz can be booted from it.

All of the above require some modification of initamfs, and what's run at boot time. How do I do that for SliTaz? Thanks.

Japanese Keyboard Problems on SliTaz

nomearod — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 14:55:50 +0100

Hi. I installed SliTaz on an old Japanese laptop (HP nx9110). After selecting the keyboard mapping "jp106", almost all the keys in the keyboard are correct, except for the backslash/underscore key (the one beside the right-shift key, in case anyone also has one). When I tried the Ubuntu LiveCD and chose their Japanese settings, the keyboard works properly (with the backslash/underscore key responding properly).

Is there a way for me to use Ubuntu's keyboard driver (or whatever you call it) on SliTaz?

I tried searching around the net, but sadly I wasn't able to find anything. I'm fairly new to Linux in general, so a newbie-friendly guide would be greatly appreciated.

How to set up encrypted LVM?

avamk — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 15:22:39 +0100

Hello,
I remember from installing Ubuntu in the past that I could set up encrypted LVM for my disk, where I need to enter a password during startup to decrypt the whole disk. Is there a way to setup something similar for a hard drive installation of SliTaz?
Also, since I am setting up a headless machine, is there a way to remotely enter the encrypted LVM password, such as via SSH? The thing is this would be during the boot process, before the login window appears, and I don't know if SSH would even be possible at that point?

netradio

trvl — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 07:09:35 +0100

Hi

Is it posible to play netradio in slitaz? I have the direct link to the channel(s)/ stream(s) I wan't to listen to, but Mplayer won't do it. I have also installed Vlc, and it won't do it either...

Is there something I need to install, or is it just not possible?

No sound in cooking [SOLVED]

ms3811 — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 08:31:09 +0100

I had Slitaz on this laptop before and sound was working (its an intel card). I had to reinstall post hdd failure. Now there is no sound. tazhw detect-pci loads snd_hda_intel. cat /proc/asound/cards shows 0 [Intel] : HDA-Intel...

Not sure what's going on. Can anyone point me as to where to start looking? Thanks.

tazlito writeiso weirdness

vientito — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 21:34:57 +0100

I have been building iso one after another, each incorporating some changes. Along the way I am able to mount the resuling iso images under virtualbox for simulated effect. Yet somehow I notice there is a screwup at a point where I could not build new iso anymore. It has problem mounting cdrom. it turns out that cdrom is mapped to hda all the time even though I have discovered that somehow I accidentally change the primary master device to secondary master hence the cdrom should have been mapped to hdc instead of to hda. So the building of iso fails because it could not access the device. I have been wondering how this happens since udev is supposed to take care of these devices creation.. Then something dawns on me perhaps that in writing this ISO perhaps the whole dev tree is copied into the rootfs so whatever udev has done in booting the rootfs will wipe it all out! I am wondering if this is the actual scenario. If so, should there be a way to exclude the dev tree from incorporating into the new iso?

how to forbid a wifi connexion

revenaz — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 12:39:58 +0100

Hello,

I am using my Slitaz eeepc to check the Internet connections
How can I forbid the wifi connections in order to check the eth0 connection ?
When I stop the wifi connected with the stop connection button of the wireless manager, the scanning starts to look for a valid wifi and connects back immediately.
How can I forbid all wifi connections to be sure the etho cannot connect ?

in the slitaz network manager I have
eth0 Ethernet connected (192.168.0.4)
lo loopback connected (127.0.0.1)
wlan0 Wireless connected (192.168.0.11)

If I connect Eth0 and start again the computer I am connected on etho in priority

If I disconnect eth0 the wifi doesn't take over automatically. It has to be started in the wifi network
Once the wifi is operated, the network alarm for eth0 stays on the panel

Thanks for your answer

Automatic decrypt/encrypt home directory upon login/logoff?

avamk — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 09:00:50 +0100

When I installed Ubuntu in the past, the installation offered to set up my home directory so that it is automatically decrypted/encrypted upon me logging in and out.
Can something like that be setup in latest SliTaz cooking? If so, how? Thanks.

Choice of firewall software in SliTaz cooking?

avamk — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 08:39:55 +0100

I searched for "firewall" in SliTaz Packages, and found eptables and iptables. Are they the only firewall packages available?
Is there a package that gives me easier/simpler control over the set up and operation of a firewall like ufw or Firestarter in the repositories somewhere? Or do I have to download and compile one myself?
Thanks.

Install VirtualBox 4.0 in latest SliTaz cooking?

avamk — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 11:15:43 +0100

Hello again,
The new VirtualBox 4.0 is now in beta 4. Has anyone been able to install this version in SliTaz cooking? Will the get-virtualbox or virtualbox-ose packages be updated to this new, 4.0, version? If not, are there any tips on how I can set it up myself?
Thanks.

unable to compiling busybox-1.2.2 with Scratchbook instructions on Ubunutu 10.10

Bernardo — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 01:17:43 +0100

Hello,
I'm trying to build Slitaz from scratch. When I reach the procedure to build busybox, I'm running into this build error:

In function ‘open’,
inlined from ‘gzip_main’ at /home/user/Projects/SlitazFromScratch/distro/src/busybox-1.2.2/archival/gzip.c:1235:
/usr/include/bits/fcntl2.h:51: error: call to ‘__open_missing_mode’ declared with attribute error: open with O_CREAT in second argument needs 3 arguments

I've find multiple hits on this via google, but nothing with a working fix. Has anyone run into this and found a solution? Is the problem Ubu10.10?

tia,
Bernardo

Code Blocks Problem

Eythymios — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 20:16:35 +0100

Hi,

i'm new to slitaz. I wanna use it for c/c++ development. I'm using the root user and i tried to install codeblocks as my ide but i don't think it's being installed correctly. No plugins are present, no templates and i can't do anything on it. I've already installed the toolchain and some other packages that are related but i can't make codeblocks compile anything. The real problem is that it doesn't give me any error message so i could find out what is wrong.

Any help would be appreciated !

Using embedded SliTaz Version for sysloggin

Macao — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 16:06:09 +0200

They are everywhere - Linux Newbies like me. But that shouldn't be the topic here.
I asked the question in the german board, they advised me to ask the question here.

As cunning fox i bought a embedded Alix-Board solution with installed SliTaz to have a sysloggin machine but i found out that SliTaz 'syslogd' cannot handle the 'syslog.conf'

Question: How can I manage it?
There are messages coming in on port 514 (tcpdump) but are not stored in a .log file. Is there another file to edit like the syslog.conf that i can save those external incoming messages?
My idea was to 'easily' install syslog-ng or something else like this - than the LinuxNewbie (me) was born and the situation was desperated. A paket from the paketmanager didn't help there is no alternative program and after trying to download syslog-ng it was asking me for the distribution, respectively i got the source code .tar.gz which i had to compile by myself with somethin like ./configure or ./install - no way - not a bit :-(

May someone has an idea?

Many thanks in advance

Macao

PS: I hope my english is fine enough ;)
