Booting Problem after Each Fresh Installation of SliTaz 3.0

TheForsaken — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 06:43:00 +0100

Hello everyone,

The Title "Booting Problem after Each Fresh Installation of SliTaz 3.0" said it all.

Details:
Everytime I install SliTaz on my PC (P4 @ 3.0GHz - 512MB RAM - 20GB IDE HDD), I got the same problem and I have no idea how to fix it.

Introdution:

1) As you know, you can't install SliTaz unless you have created the needed partitions for the installation process.

2) Everytime I start GParted, I found out that GParted detect my HDD as "/dev/hdb".

3) The HDD which I'm using is a Primary Slave. That might be the reason why SliTaz is always detecting it as hdb but let me tell you that with other Linux Distributions and even with Windows, I don't have any problem at all. It's always "sda" with other Linux Distributions and Windows does not complain about the HDD being Slave at all.

After Installation:

4) Directing after the first reboot when the installation process is done, I got the GRUB Menu so I choose SliTaz which is the ONLY OS installed in my PC but then I got this error:

root (hd1,0)
Error 21: selected disk does not exist
Press any key to contiune . . .

5) In order to boot and login into SliTaz, I have to do this:

a) From GRUB Menu

b) Press "e"

c) Highlight root (hd1,0)

d) Press "e" again

e) From GRUB edit> root (hd1,0)

I have to change it to root (hd0,0)

f) Then Press "b" to boot.

6) I got Slim so I Press Enter after I see my login Username then Enter my Password.

7) Once I login into SliTaz, I got to the Main Menu > System Tools > Control Box

8 ) From the First Tab:

Confg file: /boot/grub/menu.lst

then change: root (hd1,0) >>> root (hd0,0)

9) Save, Exit and Reboot.

10) Problem Solved.

Now, I know it's "solved' but ... it does not make sense to do this "everytime" I have to install SliTaz.

There MUST be another fix for this issue.
Is this a bug? or this is how SliTaz works?

NOTE THAT: If I plug any USB Drive into my PC, GParted detect it as "/dev/sda".

So, what's going on here?

Thank you!

P.S.
Again, it happens only with SliTaz. I have no problem with other Distributions whenever I try to install any on the same PC.

Spanish install to Hard Drive

Sector11 — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 00:32:45 +0100

I'm an English speaker, my mother-in-law is Spanish and was given an OLD (1999) Compaq:

ProSignia Desktop 320 400 RAM Specifications
Standard Memory 32 MB (removable)
Maximum Memory 256 MB
Memory Expansion 2 sockets (it had 128MB, I upgraded it to 256MB)
Memory Comments PC66 SDRAM DIMMs
CPU Type 400MHz Intel Celeron
Model Comments 66MHz FSB

More: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/10299_div/10299_div.html

I also stripped out the old slow 20GB HD and inatalled a new(er) 40GB that is faster.

No modem - Ehernet card with cable connection.
No Windows just two partitions: 10GB / - and a 30 GB /home partition.
I's her first computer, she's in her 70's and wants to see pictures of her grand-kids and get email so ANY OS is a learning experience for her.

The "Installer" (from the live CD) installs slitaz in English. I've modified the OpenBox menu to "Spanish" but the programs ere all are English. Now considering the machine - Slitaz is just "smokin' along".

How can I get this installed in Spanish for her?

PS- I have it on a 2GB DataTraveller - NICE!!!!!
Kudos to the developers.

résolution écran

Christophe — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 21:12:27 +0100

I thought I would not have to handle screen resolution again but.....

with latest cooking, i have a 1366*768 screen on a dell vostro 13, recognised as a 1024x768 screen (but using all screen space so that this is slightly enlarged)
any way to get the correct resolution ?

The chipset is said to be an "intel mobile 4 series chipset integrated graphics controller"
And the wifi does not work (intel corporation wifi link 5100)

I have had a similar problem on another (atom based) computer the screen is 1466x900 (i think) but it is recognised as a 1280x1024 screen....

Thanks

VirtualBox can't load kernel modules

avamk — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 17:11:41 +0100

Hello,
I just tried the new, cooking, virtualbox-ose-4.0.2 package in my installation of SliTaz cooking. When starting a virtual machine, I get the following error:

One of the kernel modules was not successfully loaded. Make sure that no kernel modules from an older version of VirtualBox exist. Then try to recompile and reload the kernel modules by executing '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' as root (VERR_SUPDRV_COMPONENT_NOT_FOUND)

I checked and there is no /etc/init.d/vboxdrv, what did I miss? Thanks.

Passing an argument to ./configure

slitazm — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 15:29:07 +0100

I need to pass an argument to ./configure that would normally be interactive on the command line. e.g. ./configure --disable-spell. Is there a way to do that within the receipt? My tazwok cook is failing because I do not know how to either set it hard-coded in the ./configure or how to use the taz utilities to pass the argument through.

I apologize if the answer is one of those 'you should know that'.

Thanks,

M

PXE guide / Netbox problem

OldGuy — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 08:16:36 +0100

Hi there,

I was made aware of Slitaz by a friend of mine and now I would like to look into the (g)PXE install possibilities of Slitaz.
Therefore I downloaded a LiveCD image (stable) and wanted to follow the PXE guide found under documentation.
Unfortunately, I stumbled right into the first problems:

-> I can't set a fixed IP address within the Static IP tab of the Netbox Manager. :-(
-> There is no Server tab shown in the Netbox Manger. :-(

Am I doing anything wrong or do I need to use a differend LiveCD?

Cheers,
OldGuy

how to change CPU freq by hands

bondwish — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 08:07:23 +0100

I run the latest cooking of Slitaz on IBM T42, which I found out the CPU freq is set at 600MHz. I want to speed up the CPU, so I install the CPU freq untils, but found out the cpufreq utils can't find the right driver of CPU, it said:no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU.

How can I set the CPU freq by hands?
Thanks.

Preload boot configuration problems

CureMyMind — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 14:44:44 +0100

Awesome job on Slitaz I like it better then all the other small distro's by far the best. I downloaded the Slitaz iso from aircrack with the aircrack installation. I was just wondering if someone out there knew how to fix my probem. I really don't know how to use this website so I hope I am posting in the right place.

Installed slitaz in vmware which all went awesomely by the way and that isn't the problem. My problem is after I reboot I still get prompted to configure X, configure my langue, configure my keyboard, and to configure x sesion at boot up. This is after I installed it. Is there a way to just have it preload? I do know that the ISO from the this website will not ask you again after install. I also know I can make my own copy with aircrack but its been done. I think it would be easier to fix the boot, and it would allow me to learn something else new. My question is how do I stop the boot configuration and preaload my settings? Is there a script I can edit?

Hope someone helps me out

How to install slitaz to loopfile

zealkaiser — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 11:00:27 +0100

On slitaz documentation there is a page

http://doc.slitaz.org/en:guides:uncommoninst

which says there is a way to install slitaz in a loopfile and then booting it.

But I couldn't figure out how to do so. Can anyone help me out.

Also it says to get a preinit iso (slitaz-preinit.iso) file, where can we get it.

I am completely a new to slitaz

Request a pkg!

jozee — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:56:45 +0100

Just wanted to have a discussion post where people can request pkgs (as in old forums). One can also request it on http://labs.slitaz.org/issues

Let us know, what are the pkgs that you want in Slitaz repos?

I have an old Dell Latitude, with no cdrom, and bios that wont boot from usb. I take the hdd out, put it in ide enclosure, boot live slitaz cd on my own laptop, and install, targeting the usb attached hdd from the Dell. all goes fine. I take hdd out of enclosure, put back in dell, at grub,I edit the lines from sdb1 to hda1 and from hd1,0 to hd0,0 and I get continual kernel panic error, can't start init and so on.

I understand it is an issue to do with partitions. Can someone direct me as to what partition table to create on the Dell hdd to get this working.

Option to load SliTaz to RAM during HD install?

avamk — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 12:00:48 +0100

Hello,
Is it possible to add an option into SliTaz's HD installer so that a user can choose to have the OS/filesystem boot into RAM upon startup (even though it is installed on a hard drive)?

* If Google® is you're friend, why don't it give you love when you're sad - and when you're not ? Google® is the friend of nobody, but peoples telling that «Google is your friend»™ are the betters friends of Google®, and Dollars©, I promiss...

* Most forums administrators said that «Don't know how to write a word correctly is prohibed»; that's their rules for internet ! As said in the Netiquette: «[...]don't send mail or post messages solely to point out other people's errors in typing or spelling. These, more than any other behavior, mark you as an immature beginner.». But, as say most forums administators: «What? Netiquette?

(Solved) Nvidia Propietary Driver no direct rendering

sanger440 — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 17:58:37 +0100

I am working on a new install of slitaz v3 stable. The desktop has a Nvidia ti 4200 agp video card. I tried the install as per the wiki guides but had glx errors. So I compiled a proprietary driver from nvidia.com and all seemed to go well .Glxgears runs fast but glxinfo shows no direct rendering. The driver appears to be installed (I get the Nvidia splash screen), the resolution is auto-set just no direct rendering.

I did modify the /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-defaultrules and suggest in one of my previous posts

Thanks.

Edit: I went back and compiled/intalled the Nvidia script again. I remembered that I did an system update after I installed the driver and I think the update changed some stuff in the kernel (I am guessing) because my grub menu.lst was changed.

Kudos to Slitaz, as I was able to get an old system running really well with a full functioning video card. Something I was rarely able to do with other Distro's I have tried over the years.

(SOLVED) Glxgears root vs not as root

sanger440 — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 23:48:14 +0100

I have stable v3 running on a P4 desktop with a ATI radeon 9600 video card. I followed the wiki and I believe I have the video drivers installed and working properly. However, if I run glxgears -info as root, I get a real high fps (2000 fps). If I run glxgears - info as tux (user) my fps is like 180. I have added tux in the video group, add drm module to load at boot, everything in the wiki. I installed from the command line as root.

as root glxinfo | grep render yields direct rendering: yes Opengl render string: Mesa Dri 300 200060815 AGP 4x....

as Tux glxinfo | grep render yields direct rendering: yes Opengl render string: Software Rasterizer

Can anyone confirm if this is normal or should glxgears run fast as tux user also.

Charlie.

Can slitaz support psx gamepad which can be up to 5 pieces in one LPT1 port and add to package in cooking repository ?. This can be very fun to play Winning Eleven with 4 people at once with pcsxr-svn emulator like a PlayStation, PS1 or mybe PS2 and PS3 machine.

Bizarre problem with Google

Maximus559 — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 16:17:07 +0100

I have SliTaz 3.0 running on the following system:

Dell Inspiron 3000
233 MHz Pentium MMX
208 MB RAM
2 GB HDD

I'm connecting to the Internet using a PCMCIA wireless card. Firefox will get on the web and browse just the way it's supposed to, with one exception: I'm having lots of strange problems with Google-related services (web search, image search, anything associated with Google).

I can access www.google.com. However, while the page will display, it will never fully load. The status bar will show "Waiting for www.google.com..." forever. Then, if I try to follow any of the links on the page (the one that says "About Google," for example), nothing will happen. It will start loading, but get stuck at "Waiting for www.google.com" and never display.

So far, I have determined that this problem is related to the cookies that Google sets. If I disable cookies in Firefox altogether, Google will load and the links will function correctly. However, with cookies disabled, there are still some Google pages that will never display (including, ironically, some sections of Google's support site). Note that simply going into "Exceptions" under Firefox's cookie settings and blocking www.google.com will NOT work. Cookies have to be completely disabled in the browser.

Two pieces of evidence lead me to conclude that this is not a Firefox-specific bug. Firstly, Midori exhibits exactly the same behavior. With cookies enabled, all Google services are completely FUBAR. With cookies disabled, things get better, but some pages still refuse to load. Secondly, neither browser exhibits this behavior if I run the SliTaz live CD on my newer desktop system. Both browsers load and browse Google pages with no problem on this system. Thus, the problem is tied neither to Firefox nor to SliTaz. It has something to do with my Inspiron 3000.

Again, on my Inspiron, I can browse any site other than Google, even comparatively complex ones such as Amazon and eBay. Some of my earlier investigations pointed towards IPv6 being the culprit. However, as SliTaz's IPv6 module is not installed, I can't see how it could be causing problems. Considering how much I depend upon Google services, this is kind of a big deal. Does anybody have any ideas as to what is going on here?

Cant find Curl-Config?

j0sh — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 16:59:09 +0100

Hello,

i need to install pyCurl on my maschine. to do this i installed the curl-dev package from the repo and python.

but now i must specify the path to the curl-config and i cant find any configfile...

below a cut from the installinstructions:

NOTE: You need Python and libcurl installed on your system to use or
build pycurl. Some RPM distributions of curl/libcurl do not include
everything necessary to build pycurl, in which case you need to
install the developer specific RPM which is usually called curl-dev.

Distutils
---------

Build and install pycurl with the following commands:

    (if necessary, become root)
    tar -zxvf pycurl-$VER.tar.gz
    cd pycurl-$VER
    python setup.py install

$VER should be substituted with the pycurl version number, e.g. 7.10.5.

Note that the installation script assumes that 'curl-config' can be
located in your path setting. If curl-config is installed outside
your path or you want to force installation to use a particular
version of curl-config, use the '--curl-config' commandline option to
specify the location of curl-config. Example:

python setup.py install --curl-config=/usr/local/bin/curl-config

[SOLVED] 1024x768 resolution using Silicon Motion Lynx3DM video card (and vesa driver)

paulo_oliveira — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 17:47:52 +0100

Hello, all.

First of all, let me just tell you I discovered slitaz GNU/Linux three days ago, have been playing with it ever since and am quite impressed (my basic needs for text editing, internet access, photo, video and sound have all been successfully fulfilled). It is among one of the few distros that got working correctly with my old Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M6100 laptop and runs very very smoothly.

I don't actually know if this is the correct place to set this information up (regarding the actual topic subject), but it may help others (it was intuitive for me to come to this forum, so it may be for others too), so here goes.

I've seen some discussion about 1024x768 (and other) resolutions in the slitaz GNU/Linux 3.0 distro and I've been tampering with my xorg.conf file quite a bit these last few days (basically ever since I installed the distro - because this was one of my initial "major" problems - I had only a 800x600 resolution, that left a border of about 2 inches on each corner of the screen, and could use the distro, but still something was missing :-)). I've read mostly all the posts obtained by searching the keywords xorg, siliconmotion, screen, resolution, fujitsu, siemens and m6100 on this forum and none of them correctly satisfied me, but they gave me good ideas on where to look for things (there's a link to a vesa/xorg document in the site that was also helpful and also some sites that I reference below in the xorg.conf file example). One tool that always restored my initial configuration to 800x600 (and thus allowed me to play around with xorg.conf) was tazx. In other linux distros I'd usually be forced to keep an xorg.conf.bak or something file in my home dir to prevent unwanted mistakes :-)

The xorg.conf file is attached to this message (I know, it's nothing fancy!, but it works for me!). And if I understood the ABI error for the siliconmotion driver better (that I "ported" from Debian GNU/Linux with tazpkg convert) I'd even substitute vesa with siliconmotion (don't know if that makes for a big difference though).

Will eagerly wait for slitaz GNU/Linux 4.0 now :-)

Thanks.

Compiling TrueCrypt 7

ms3811 — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 15:37:30 +0200

Truecrypt 6.3 sourcecode is no longer available for download at truecrypt.org. I tried compiling 7 using the instructions posted by @Payoon at:

http://forum.slitaz.org/index.php/discussion/109/

and

http://forum.slitaz.org/index.php/discussion/comment/472/

Bunch of issues. 7 seems to have more dependencies, it requires xorg-libSM-dev and xorg-libICE-dev to be installed (which in turn required to be installed using the --forced option, not sure why kept throwing some errors). Now "make WXSTATIC=1" throws errors with Assembling Aes_hw_cpu.asm and fails with an "expression syntax error".

At this point, can't seem to go any further (I'm not really an expert in compiling stuff). Giving up, unless anyone is interested in walking me through this (hint, hint).

font hinting byte-code interpreter enabled

A question for the Nerds here may be:
is the font hinting done on Slitaz (it uses freetype, yes?) done with the byte-code interpreter enabled or not?
I tried to do what I have been accustomed under Mandriva and apply a libfreetype6-plf-rpm, which improves the fonts there quite a bit, by using ,,tazpkg convert *.rpm *.tazpkg" but that failed under Slitaz 3.0.

Therefore this question.

Yours sincerely,

Michael
