Julien,

it seems you don't have /dev/hda1, only a /dev/hdc1
Is the device there? Did it find the partition?
fdisk -l /dev/hda

[Devil-Linux-discuss] FUPPES on Devil Linux booting from USB

[Brian T. <bt...@br...>]

I am running Devil Linux from a USB pen drive as a file server. I would like
to install and run FUPPES as an a/v media server. Anyone have luck doing so
and can offer some tips maybe?

Thanks in advance!

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] upgrade linux devil 1.2 to 1.4

[Bruce S. <bw...@re...>]

Can you try creating a "etc-mods.tar.bz" file in the same location
where your old etc.tar.bz file resides?  Try try save-config again.

By create, I mean just do a touch, or copy the etc.tar.bz file to the
new name.  It doesn't matter what's in the file, just make it exist.

It may be because the config filename has changed from "etc.tar.bz2"
to "etc-mods.tar.bz2" in DL 1.2 to 1.4.  Try:

save-config -d /dev/hda1

Once you get the new config filename written to the device, it should
be able to find it next time without the "-d" parameter.

Hello,

I migrated devil from 1.2.15 to 1.4.2 .
I'm trying to save the new configuration file (save-config  -s), but 
Ican't save it.I have this message :

be on the hard drive where I usually put etc.tar.bz2 file)

Yes please send the patch in once it works.

Hi!

 

The reported problems about NFS server and client not working are because of

the rpc.xxx daemons now use the libtircp (transport-idenpendent RPC)

libraries. This requires 'rpcbind' instead of 'portmap' as the portmapper.
So

the following changes are required to make it work again:

 

- Replace 'portmap' with 'rpcbind'

- Add an /etc/netconfig file

 

 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpcbind/

 

 

I already created patches, I can post them if they're desired, there's only

one remainig issue with there's a problem compiling it with the curent

tcp_wrappers in Devil Linux.

Yes, any hacks to files in RAM will be lost on reboot.
But watch, or write protect your media where the config is saved.

Agreed about the downside of CD. Running from RAM sounds like a good 
option in some circs, but I guess you need about 500MB spare RAM, and 
the speed difference vs. USB is relatively unimportant for me. I guess 
that with system in RAM it is vulnerable to hacking (by a root user), 
though the hack would be lost on reboot?

And running from RAM makes the system run VERY FAST, especially
compared to running from a CD.  It's more dependable too, since CD's
sometimes become difficult to read over time.

FYI There is an option (which may not be appropriate for you) where you run DL
from RAM.  So you load from USB stick, DL copies the root disc to ramdisc and
runs from there leaving you free to remove the USB stick.

If you've got enough RAM it's a good solution!

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Change default boot screen option

[Chris G. <dl...@ki...>]

Hi Dominic.

Agreed it is a little easy to do, although at least you have to remount in
order to make any changes. I'm actually booting from a hard drive myself,
fortunately I'm the only one who has access to said server.

Kind Regards,
Chris.

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Change default boot screen option

[Chris G. <dl...@ki...>]

It's quite easy. You just remount the boot share as Read/Write for example

"/bin/mount -no remount,rw /dev/hda1"

Then if you just use nano to edit the syslinux.cfg

"nano /shm/var/adm/boot/syslinux.cfg"

All you need to do is change "default 3" to "default 0"

Hope that helps, Chris.

Does anyone know a way (in a standard DL distribution) to alter the

to the standard 80x25 screen (option 0)? I am not always in a position
to choose the '0' option and then with my setup the screen may not be
fully readable.

Hi,

I just try to use lynx and I found a problem with .gz page, the path

I read this path must be specified at compilation time .

I can use anyway, with the parameter : "PREFERRED_ENCODING:none" in

[Devil-Linux-discuss] DL 1.4.2: no nfs mount possible

[<gat...@ya...>]

Hi,

I am still running 1.2.13 but trying to evaluate DL 1.4.2

One of the 1st big obstacles I ran into: I can't mount any NFS shares.
When I just do "mount server:/dir /somewhere" mount.nfs complains that
it either needs statd or I should disable locking.

Unfortunately neither of these possibilities work: When I add
"-o nolock", mount complains about an "incorrect mount option".
When I try to run statd (obviously only possible manually or by
starting the nfs server ..), there is no visible error but nothing
started - seemingly because statd somehow wants "/etc/netconfig".
(no idea what should be in there: I have never seen such a file on a
linux system, it also is not in the DL default configuration)

Regards,
                Peter

Welcome Martin!

This list is mainly for "how to use" Devil Linux.

For compiling, developing, etc.  there is a separate list called
devil-linux-develop you can subscribe to the same way you subscribed
here.

normally there is nothing to "compile", simply edit the configuration  
files of the applications you select in the setup program
and you can have your server running in a few days or less, depends on  
your experience.
if this is the first time you setup a server,nothing to worry, we can  
guide you
a great example you can find here :
http://www.edendevelopments.co.uk/dlsetup

please don't get an old crap (win98) pc for this, pc's 2005 and up will  
work great
only thing important is that your pc can boot from a usb stick

Hello Devils,
I'm new to the list and just wanted to say hi. In a few days/weeks i will
start to compile 1.4.x devil and wonder if it´s ok to ask for help on this
list or if there is a forum out there somewhere that i have missed. I have
done one or two fast tests following the dockumentation for 1.4.x on the
devil-site and a few things raised some questions in my head.

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] install-on-usb fails, Nevermind

[<gd...@tx...>]

Hi,

I checked out the size of my iso image after sending the email and found
 it to be slightly larger than what you are seeing. I was greatly surprised
 by this because the 2.4 kernel version I was using before was about 128 MB.
 /usr is the killer using 349 MB. perl and python and their libraries use up
 a lot of disk space. The locale directory seemed to be the biggest single
 user at 81 MB. This also surprised me because I'm pretty sure I configured
 Devil Linux to not use locales. After checking all this out I switched over
 to a 2 GB CompactFlash which installed without the running out of space
 message. 

Thanks,

Gary Stewart
