Slitaz bootloader

SergiyNesterenko — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 04:18:22 +0200

Hey guys,

I am trying to install SliTaz on Roboard 110. I've used a live cd to install the system on a sd card. When trying to boot, a kernel panic occurs, and an error is displayed saying "please append correct 'root=' boot option" and the progress just stops.

I have been messing around with menu.lst but nothing I have done has seemed to work.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Nvidia 8600M GS unrecognized by non-free nvidia driver ?

William — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 11:08:16 +0200

Hi,

I have an Asus F3Sv with a GForce 8600M GS 256M.
It's too slow for Android development under Vista, so I'm trying under Slitaz

Unfortunatly, everytime I try to launch the Android Emulator from Eclipse, I got a "X connection to broken :0.0 (explicit kill or server shutdown)" error
You could say it's an Eclipse/ADT bug, but I need to be sure (I really hope it's not! Slitaz is so fast on my laptop!)
From what I need all over the net, this error occurs when no X Server is found.

My first try was with a raw 3.0, initial driver ==> same error
Then I added Xorg + vesa ==> same error
Then I tried with Xorg + nv ==> same error (but better resolution and 2nd monitor clone handled!)
Then I tried with non-free nvidia driver==> unable to install it

I noticed several problem so perhaps fixing one of them will fix them all
1/ after install throught Tazhw box, I have a "Xlib : extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" (uhoh! :0.0 like in Eclipse) + Error : couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig....of course nvidai X Server config complains "you doesn't appear to use Nvidia X driver"
glxinfo gives the same errors about GLX

2/ if I try to launch with this xorg.conf, I came back to terminal with a "NVIDIA not found" error

3/ if I edit xorg.conf, I have
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "unknown vendor"
BoardName "unknown board"
endsection
I see some people on the net with the correct value for this 8600M GS card...so what ?

4/ I followed advice on the wiki and fixed the dri path, added the missing modes, etc....still nothing....

it really seems it doesn't detect my card....while nv "sees" it...

any hint, test to do ?

Thanks

William

installing on pentium II, very old (1997)

lorue — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:17:47 +0200

Hi everybody
I am trying to install slitaz using a pentiun II from 1997 (AMIBIOS show me this date as release).
I do not know the history of this machine, I do not know the branch, maybe it was assembled manualy by someone.
The video card, is a 3dpro sis 6326, the slot it use is different than others. memory 128+64+32.
The machine works well with others distros as Puppy and Zenwalk, last versions.
The slitaz CD is OK because it install in other new machine (acer).
OK, during the instalation I answer the language, the keymap and everything is OK.
Then, the msg "starting hardware abstraction layer: hall..." appears on the screen.
then, the screen goes blind, 100% blind. blind , blind!
Could someone help me.
regards
Lorue

Saving Slitaz to USB Permanently - Other problems

jeffr — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 09:41:54 +0200

I use "slitaz-cooking.iso 20100314" from download on Slitaz site. I burn CD. I boot PC from CD. All "ok" so far.

I use "tazusb gen-liveusb" to create bootable Slitaz on USB. My USB key is Flash and 2GB. I use "/dev/sde1" to boot Slitaz. "sde1" is FAT32 and 500MB. I use "/dev/sde2" as "/home". "sde2" is 1.5GB in size and Ext2. All as suggested in Slitaz forums.

I boot from USB made from "tazusb gen-liveusb" command, all boot "ok" but autologin "tux" not work so I login as "root". Strange? What is "tux" password? When I make USB from "pendrivelinux" USB tool all boot "ok" and "tux" login work "ok".

I make changes to environment, install new packages, remove other packages. Then I use "tazusb writefs gzip" to create "rootfs.gz" which is found in "/", not "/home" as some forum writing say even though I mount "/dev/sde2" as "/home" and "mount" say I do that. So I "mv /rootfs.gz /home" and prove file exist in "/home" using "ls -al". I reboot. All previous settings do not show up but "/home" is mounted and 'rootfs.gz" is there...same file I save.

I spend many many hour on this and reading Slitaz web and forum but cannot make work. Slitaz look nice and have packages I like but cannot save setup make Slitaz useless to me.

What is wrong?

Show your desktop - july 2010

outwork — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 11:40:19 +0200

You probably know that Slitaz is a wonderful OS, but the default look is a bit boring for the majority of users. Here you can post your screenshots, share your experiences/tricks.

[RESOLVED] PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter not Detected

Jing — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 00:15:26 +0200

I have recently installed Slitaz 3.0 on an old laptop and so far have not been able to make my eithernet adapter to work.

The card is a Linksys EtherFast PCMCIA/CardBus PC Card, Model No: PCM100

The leds on the card light up when the card is plugged in but I doubt it is really detected. Here is what I observed:

1. When I click on the network connection icon on the right bottom corner of the desktop I get:
Name: eith0
Status: error
2. Then I click the button to "Configure". Under "Connections' I only see "lo"
3. The Linksys card is not listed from "lspci" command. I can only see two Card Bus bridge entries listed.

I would appreciate it very much if someone can point me to the right direction how to solve the issue.

Do I need to install certain driver for my ethernet adapter card? Since I cannot connect to internet with this laptop can I somehow download the driver using other computer and then transfer the driver to this laptop and run it? Sorry but I am new to linux.

missing language files

kultex — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 17:06:58 +0200

I am installing now SliTaz as default OS in our cultural office and I am missing some language files. The funny thing is, that all french language files are installed, but in German, Spanish and Portugese, a lot of them are missing.
See in /usr/share/locale.

First how do I get the missing language files (minimum osmo and midori) and second if this cutting off is a matter of size, than I think they should be extra available to be installed.

Translating some articles into Russian

Cyril — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:35:17 +0200

Hi,

My name is Cyril Shevtsov, and I'm new to Slitaz (since the current version - 3.0), but I liked it at once and want to provide some possible help.

I'm an English teacher and I can help translating some help articles into Russian. As I see, there seem to be almost no articles already translated except the initial help page and some Taz* manuals. So I can help with the Live CD ones and some others, if you need. How can I do this? (And should I? :)) Can I use OpenOffice.org Writer to write the articles manually and in what format am I to save them and how can I get them to the wiki style?

Thank you.

Wpa Supplicant problems

Nico — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 03:19:36 +0200

Hi!
I recently installed SliTaz 3 is my notebook. It's perfect, since grub to boot from the slim takes 15 seconds!

The problem I have is the wifi.
I can not connect to the network with wpa2 security.
After several attempts were logged for a moment, I ping google.com, and it worked, but the navigation is extremely slow. After a few seconds it was disconnected from the network.

I tryed: # / etc / init.d / restart network.sh
and gives me the error: Warning: failed to attach to wpa_supplicant (referring to wlan0)

Is there any form to solve this?

I must say that I have also debian gnu / linux with xfce and the wifi works perfect. the card is an Atheros AR5001X and works with the ath5k driver

Thanks and sorry for my english!

SliTaz on a AIRIS Kira 100

med_hi — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 13:25:18 +0200

Hi everyone and a big Bravo for the fantastics job that has been done so far.
I have tried several distributions and so far, SliTaz is by far the best distribution for the Airis Kira 100
1. eeebuntu-3.0-base.iso => nok
2. eeebuntu-3.0-standard.iso => nok
3. kubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso => nok
4. LinpusLinux-LiveCD-i386.iso => nok too big, too slow
5. ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso => nok
6. ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso => nok
7. ubuntu-9.10-netbook-remix-i386.iso.part => nok
8. Jolicloud PreAlpha => nok
9. Jolicloud PreBeta => nok, graphic card was not compatible
10. ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso

my first good surprise was the distribution size, only 80 Mo, just perfect for my 2Go hard drive

my second good surprise was the installation, it was just perfect, I followed the instructions and it works. Just one remark, I have to manually edit grub and the menu.lst file

my third good surprise was speed. SliTaz is just as fast as light

my fourth good surprise was the wifi, it works out of the box

What went wrong, not out of the box
[webcam]
I installed the integrated Chicony Electronics Co. webcam driver manually with a #modprobe uvcvideo.

[internal speaker]
sound works but no sound is coming out from the internal speaker

[integrated mic]
integrated Mic does not record

[integrated card reader]
integrated card reader is not recognized, I tried the following with no success

# modprobe mmc_block
# modprobe mmc_core
# modprobe tifm_sd

I cannot switch the screen resolution to 800x480x24

Anyway SliTaz rules !!

Would it be useful for me to make a website on my server that has a listing of computer models that work and don't work with Slitaz Live?

Issue with eth0 connection after using wireless

roobinatube — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:40:48 +0200

Hi,

Ive been using wireless since i installed slitaz 3, using rt2870sta and firmware.

But now when I take my laptop to work, and plug it into a socket (no wireless at work) it doesnt work. When I use my dual boot lubuntu it does work. Slitaz is my preference, so if someone could hint me in the right direction that would be great!

Thanks

How to eject USB Flash?

Lexeii — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 17:18:25 +0200

I use SliTaz-3.0.
I read the topics:

My question is similar.
PCManFM can only unmount the file system.
To eject the USB Flash (and power it off, like in windows), I write in terminal:

tux@slitaz:~$ su
Password: root
root@slitaz:/home/tux# eject /dev/sdb

Is it a way to add command «Eject» to flash drive context menu in PCManFM, like in CD-ROM?

Cups how to

kultex — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 17:45:28 +0200

I just installed my network printer and I have no time to work on usb and parallel printers - so just here and not in the wiki. Perhaps somebody else can continue ...

do as root in xterm:

#tazpkg get-install cups
#addgroup tux lp

change some lines in /etc/cupsd.conf (#leafpad /etc/cupsd.conf)

# Administrator user group...
SystemGroup lp

# Restrict access to the admin pages...

  Order allow,deny
  Allow 127.0.0.1


# Restrict access to configuration files...

  AuthType Default
  Require user @SYSTEM
  Order allow,deny
  Deny From None
  Allow From 127.0.0.1

set the admin password for cups:

#lppasswd -g lp -a tux

now you should be able to have access to administration in cups with your browser with http://localhost:631/

now you have to install the printer drivers:

a) hplip : for hp printers
b) gutenprint : for canon, epson, Lexmark, Sony, Olympus
c) foomatic-db, foomatic-db-engine, foomatic-db-nonfree and foomatic-filters : several free software printer drivers
d) ufr2: for canon printers (extra drivers)
e) splix: for samsung
f) cups-pdf: for pdf printing

eg: #tazpkg get-install hplip

now you add a new printerin the browserinterface and choose:

LPD/LPR Host or Printer (Unknown)
and add the address socket//192.168.2.1:9100

if you get the error: Returning IPP client-error-document-format-not-supported for Print-Job in /var/log/cups/error.log, then you have to add two files to /etc/cups

add wvdial to cooking iso

andu — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 19:42:18 +0200

Is it possible to add wvdial to slitaz-cooking.iso? (should be included by default if you ask me since it's the best for 3G modems). Actually what I'd like to get help on is how to remaster cooking.iso in order to add wvdial. Tazlito proved not tobe my friend since it gave me errors while trying to create a flavor following step by step the documentation on site. Same with pizza, downloaded the .flavor but further tazlito commands couldn't find some file in /tmp... I'm on Slitaz 3 btw. Thanks.

Custom SliTaz Install by Migrating LiveCD to Hard Disk Using fstab Feasible?

Barry — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:32:42 +0200

I posted a request for assistance a week ago about installing SliTaz from the "OPHCrack" LiveCD. The problem is that all the info about the SliTaz Installer seems to indicate that it does a simple install to a single partition, but I've already created partitions for directories like /, /boot, and /usr.

I think the solution is to create a SliTaz LiveCD and then migrate the data from the mounted and working filesystems to my hard disk partitions:

"Hard Disk Upgrade Mini How-To"
http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Hard-Disk-Upgrade/introduction.html

This tutorial uses LILO as the bootloader, but I think it should be fairly simple to modify this for GRUB.

Any advice on how to pull this off would be appreciated.

Thanks

Solved: Package Installation

dense — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 20:46:53 +0200

I`m just not getting how to install a package in SliTaz, in this case opera. I`ve read the manual five times. I ran tazpkg install get-opera-1.00.tazpkg and it did and it shows it installed. Obviously I don`t get the whole package management procedure in SliTaz. Please explain.

Can I use the OPHCrack LiveCD to Install SliTaz?

Barry — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 15:35:03 +0200

I am using n OPHCrack LiveCD that boots to SliTaz. The SliTaz Installer is there and seems to work. Is this safe to use.

Also I have set up a partitioning scheme for custom locations for /, /boot, /var, etc. The documentation on your web site seems to imply that the installer does a "one size fits all" installation without provisions for the custom placing of filesystems.

Question 1: Should I use the SliTaz Installer on the OPHCrack LiveCD or go through the trouble of burning a "pure" SliTaz CD?

Question 2: Does the SliTaz Installer allow custom installs?

slitaz-3.0-xvesa frugal install on fat32/DOS

tikbalang — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 11:46:57 +0200

skip to #3 if disk is already partitioned and grub4dos installed.

1. format disk using FAT32 filesystem.
- note the volume serial number using VOL or CHKDSK.

2. install grub4dos to MBR.
- copy support files GRLDR and MENU.LST to root of first partition
- verify that grub4dos boots.

3. copy contents of slitaz-3.0-xvesa.iso to root of first partition.


/boot/*
/images/*
/index.html
/md5sum
/readme
/styles.css

4. edit/add slitaz entry to MENU.LST:


title Slitaz
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /boot/bzimage
kernel /boot/bzimage rw root=/dev/null autologin home=4039-E1EC lang=en_US kmap=us 
initrd /boot/rootfs.gz

home=????-???? --> use volume serial or see slitaz docs
lang=en_US --> optional, or set to your locale
kmap=us --> optional, or set to your locale

5. reboot.

notes:

- i failed using slitaz-3.0.iso. i get "failed to execute login command" error. must be xorg related.

- you need to run "tazusb writefs gzip" after installing software to make permanent. application settings will be saved in /username/*.

i hope future versions will still be friendly to frugal install.

Unable to unmount CD driver on Tux

mol — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 09:43:19 +0200

And then impossible to eject a cd/DvD

Is it normal ? On root it's ok

Otherwise, is there anyway to autologin on root with grub ?

I ve just bought right now a laptop for my mother who is c-o-m-p-l-e-t-e-l-y computer illeterate. So i've think Slitaz will be the most best OS to do basic things as surfing on Internet and watching DVD's.

But if she can't eject a DVD ...
