Hi NeroZero,

See aquatix's howto [1] and the quick introduction to mmaker and
isomaker [2] on morphix.org. You might be interested in MorphingMorphix too.

In short, the best way to get this done is by picking an existing XML
template, modify it to include all the debian packages you want. The
tough answer however is that you'll still have to do this yourself. Feel
free to send an XML template for building your mainmodule (which would
contain all your applications), there are guest builds every few days.
You can also opt to run mmaker yourself, that's up to you.

Do note that 16MB isn't a lot of RAM. If this is a livecd you only
intend to use yourself: simply install Debian.

cheers and good luck,

Alex

[Morphix-devel] Special Morphix .iso Request 4 Old 16MB RAM Laptop 2 Go WPA/NDiswrapper WLAN

[NeroZero <sup...@ao...>]

Yes, I was referred by gentle Michiel to this list here in order to
state my request: I want to run some server stuff on my old 16MB RAM
Laptop with copes with DamnSmallLinux fine with X11: Problem is that i
cannot download modules in order to set up wpa_supplicant and
ndiswrapper to tie it to my wireless lan system.
I tried yesterday kantonix which had ndiswrapper and wpa but then I
found out that obviously the newer versions do not work so well with my
win98 driver and the netgear USB stick! Suse also went recently from the
latest ndiswrapper version to an old and more stable one..

So I would like to have an CD-Rom .iso image built based on morphix that
boots from CDRom has all server services includes like pop3, imap, ssh
openssl, a webserver (Apache or seamonkey) with php, sql (xampp) and kde
and another smaller X11 windowsmanager. Yes,if this iso is made then it
should run on the Old machine but also on others with more hardware and
RAM :)
 maybe mplayer and the codecs, wget, We can even discuss here what
should not be forgotten like alsaconf since with some distros my
soundcard first starts working when I re-configure it in KDE :)
I want also a nice background photo of course..

If nobody is willing to help me out here without me having to study all
the documentation (time is money), then please refer me at least to a
good tutorial, THX

MAIN POINT: See below: these versions of wpa and ndiswrapper work in my
system just fine, so please use them for the bulding process of my

[Morphix-devel] Fwd: [ morphix-Bugs-1584433 ] isomorph doesn't preserve ownership

I used a autobuild base from the begining of September. (I did not
know that Morphix Base - 0.5pre6 - code name 'Amalthea' was going to
be released). It has morphix kernel - 2.6.15

Not sure if this will be solved by new bases/kernel but may be worth a try.

May be a MiniModule coudl change the permissions.

Summary: isomorph doesn't preserve ownership

Initial Comment:
Basically I did the following:

isomorph --get main ./MyMoroh.iso /tmp/
morphix-chroot /tmp/morphing-morphix.mod

...
apt-get install mysql5
...

When building the iso and testing it with qemu mysql
doesn't start, complaining that it can't find
/var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.index although it's there.

To get mysql running one has to 'chown -R mysql:mysql
/var/run/mysqld /var/lib/mysql /var/log/mysql'
To make sure this doesn't has to be done every time the
livecd starts up, I chrooted to the .mod and chowned
these directories to mysql:mysql.
But obviously somorph --add main
/tmp/morphing-morphix.mod ./MyMorph.iso ./tmp.iso
doesn't preserve the ownership of these folders.

I am using MorphingMorphix 0.3.1

Thanks for the info, from the looks of it unionfs is indeed
the culprit.

Brendan, which base iso did you use for MM 0.3.1? Perhaps
this problem is solved when using the new autobuilt base and
the 2.6.17 kernel.

Now that's an interesting one.
After booting up, I executed a ls -lah on these directories
(/var/lib/mysql, /var/run/mysqld, /var/log/mysql). All these
directories belong to mysql:mysql

Then I tried to start mysqld directly from command line (not
using the script in /etc/init.d/). It fails complaining that
mysql doesn't have the right to access the directory.

I was wondering if the access rights have changed. And as a
new ls -lah on the above listed directories shows, the
ownership of /var/lib/mysql and /var/log/mysql have changed
from mysql:mysql to root:root.

This looks like a unionfs-issue, since the directories have
the correct owner on the cd, but as soon as they're accessed
and copied to the ramdisk (and UNION) the ownership is
changed...

Check what the permissions are when you boot this livecd.

I suspect that the uid/gid of the directories mentioned
aren't set to mysql's uid/gid because the mysql user/group
don't exist on the host system.

You're right. The problem might more be inside
morphix-chroot than isomorph.
When looking at the source of morphix-chroot think the error
must be in module-builder.
I am not such a good bash-coder that I would understand the
source of module-builder, but I don't see no copy-command
after exiting the chroot-environment in morphix-chroot.

bmsleight is right. I modded the main module using
morphix-chroot and apt-get install mysql5.

Might then want to check if morphix-chroot copies with -a.
Using -r would lead to the problem mentioned.

It could also have to do with unionfs though :)

The module was made using morphix-chroot, apt-get install. (See bug report)

Hence this may be a bug with morphix-chroot (or even MorphingMorphix),
rather than
isomorph.

Hi Cedric,

This appears to be more a problem with the mainmodule than
with isomorph (isomorph merely adds the mainmodule to the
iso, it doesn't have anything to do with the permissions
within that mainmodule).

How did you add mysql to your mainmodule? Did you do this
manually, or via mmaker or some other way?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Hi Matthew,

nvidia-glx is in unstable/non-free, so I don't see how this could be a
problem for you. I've uploaded nvidia-glx into the morphix repository
(as I'm all for making your life easier), but do wonder why you want
this. If you're afraid of a newer version of nvidia-glx entering
unstable we could add a nvidia-glx-morphix package to take care of this.

cheers,

Alex

Hi,

I noticed the newest base module (basemod-2.6.17-2006-10-13_0600.iso) uses 
the nvidia kernel package.  Is there any way to add the nvidia-glx package 
for that build to the morphix repository?  It would make my life much 
easier.

Thanks.

Please let me know if you are interested in any results of my source
hunt (I guess you won't, as the hard parts of the hunt were done by
you and Paul anyway....).

In any case, as long as the old base image is offered for download it
might be a good idea to put all the collected sources on the server
too -- that's the easiest way to obey the terms of the GNU GPL.

cheers and may thanks

Look like this is a problem as sid starts to move accross to a new
version of X.Org. Some morphers, such as aquatix, are not gettign this
problem. Some like me and others are getting this problem.
http://www.morphix.org/index.php?option=com_joomlaboard&Itemid=90&func=view&id=790&catid=10

This may not be a long term problem, using sid is always a fun ride.
As a short term fix I have made a minimodule to fix the bug.
Minimodule template:-
http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/morphix/trunk/scripts-mini/MorphixMini-XHack.xml?view=markup&pathrev=2430

Use morphmini to build and isomorph to add to your .iso:-
morphmini ./MorphixMini-XHack.xml ./MorphixMini-XHack.mod
isomorph --add mini ./MorphixMini-XHack.mod ./old.iso ./new.iso

Great! I've set the autobuilds to use sid again (instead of etch).

Hi Florent,

Could you send me the files in /etc/sysconfig ? These contain the
results of the autodetection, which should help in determining the cause
of these problems,

cheers & TIA,

Indeed. Thanks for pointing this out. I tried to disable this by using
the matchbox keyboard config, must have missed it.

[Morphix-devel] LiveKiosk gives root shell access on virtual terminals

[Michael B. <mb...@co...>]

Hello,

that fact is somewhat detrimental for the kiosk idea.

Adding this line to the <preX> section in MorphixMini-KioskSetting.xml 
prevents the root shells from being started (and also takes your chances of 
debugging when the kiosk is running):

     <command>rm /morphix/rc.m/S03console</command>

Anyways, thanks for the LiveKiosk.  Some more documentation would be nice.  It 
should mention how the kiosk is implemented, ie. by using the matchbox window 
manager and the R-Kiosk plugin for firefox. Of course one can tell those 
things from looking at the files in the LiveKiosk cd.  But if one ever wants 
to compare different kiosks, this information is vital before going deeper.

Kindest regards,
 Michael

Can you confirm that "/etc/X11/xorg.conf is symlink to /etc/X11/XF86Config

BTW - if you use the bootcode debugmorphix=y it will stop morphix
rebooting after x-closes.

Has anyone else got any ideas ? I am not good on X.

[Morphix-devel] Yet more X problems.

[Juergen F. <ju...@fi...>]

Hi,

I am still trying to get a Morphix morphed off of the Morphing-Morphix
0.3 ISO. I was able to produce an ISO, but when I try to test it in
qemu, X doesn't come up and the system just shuts down. 

The errors when trying to start X look like this:

---------------
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Sun Dec 19 14:16:44 2004
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
(EE) Failed to load module "bitmap" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "pcidata" (module does not exist, 0)

Fatal server error:
Unable to load required base modules, Exiting...
-------------

I see that there is a /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libpcidata.so and a
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts/libbitmap.so in the chroot from which the
mainmodule is made, yet the problem persists.

What am I doing wrong now? Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Juergen

Wow... I am shocked & dismayed! It's Monday and they still haven't
fixed it! OK, so I'm not all that dismayed, being that it's not that
hard to work around the issue. Thanks for pointing out that bug report
- it saved me quite a few kills :)

Much appreciated!

You could try building with etch for the time being, but this looks like
it'll be fixed sooner rather than later.

[Morphix-devel] X error when morphing

[Juergen F. <ju...@fi...>]

I get the following error whenever I try to build a main module that
contains X support:

-------------
Exec: /usr/sbin/chroot /tmp/libmorphix-FkpcEZ /usr/bin/apt-get -qq -y
--force-yes install xserver-xorg
Extracting templates from packages: 100%
xserver-xorg config warning: failed to infer keyboard layout from
layout/lang
   '10 debian-installer/keymap doesn't exist--'
xserver-xorg config warning: failed to infer keyboard layout from
layout/lang
   '10 debian-installer/keymap doesn't exist--'
Server symlink checksum doesn't exist. We need to make it
xserver-xorg config warning: failed to infer keyboard layout from
layout/lang
   '10 debian-installer/keymap doesn't exist--'
xserver-xorg postinst warning: not updating /etc/X11/X; file has been
   customized
-------------

It even shows up when going through the guided process running from
Morphing-Morphix 0.3. After I see this message, dpkg hangs in the
postconfiguration for xserver-xorg.
I can kill the postconfig script (repeatedly) and the resulting ISO
works just fine, as far as I can tell. But it is still a tiny bit
inconvenient.

It looks like it might be more of a Debian issue than genuinely
Morphix related, but can you think of anything that I could do - short
of just waiting for it to go away - to fix it?

Thanks,
Juergen

Check the FAQ on morphix.org. Somehow the URL broke some time ago, but
it should be fixed now.
