X fun \o/

Yes, adding them to debian/control for morphix-init-* is the best way.
Otherwise the packages wouldn't do their job...

Currently getting ready to brace the whole family for christmas-fun, but
I'll get around to this in a few days.

cheers & merry christmas!

Hi All,

I had fun tonight building MorphixLiveKiosk. I wanted to debug a
problem with pdfs. Such fun I had :) , I manged to have problems with
x.

To get x running on a morphix cd, amongst other packages, the
following packages are need:-
<packagereq>xserver-xorg</packagereq>
<packagereq>xfonts-base</packagereq>
Normally I do not have these packages in my template - which was the
problem I now have solved. :)

I normally just have:-
 <packagereq>morphix-init-matchbox</packagereq>
Which Depends: morphix-init, matchbox

So my question is; should xserver-xorg and xfonts-base, be in the
depends of /scripts-main/*/debian/control or always in the template
file ?

IMHO in the depends, but my debian package building skills and
knowledge is _poor_.

Now to the real problem, trying to get ssh into qemu, to sort out this
pdf problem...

Regards,
Brendan

If you're trying to autobuild a basemodule, you should look at isomaker
instead (which creates a base.iso). There are quite a few README's
(/usr/share/doc/mmaker), and one is specifically about isomaker.

Afaik we also have a 2.6.17 base iso on morphix.org/autobuilds :)

cheers,

Alex

Hi there again. I forgot to mention:

I've edited the base mod xml template and changed it to use debian sid
(I use dis as my desktop and always used it to make my morphs) and only
added <packagereq>less</packagereq> to the xml file.

I've already got my own debootstraped SID tarball, which I made by
typing 

debootstrap sid base_sid
tar cvf base_sid.tar base_sid
bzip -9 base_sid.tar

I decided to try building the base iso another time and after trying to
pass my base_sid.tar.bz2 to mmaker (using -b base_sid.tar.bz2), it
complains about not being able to do some tunning inside /dev and other
files. After this, its simply aborts :P

After trying another time without using my base_sid.tar.bz2 :( ,
I noticed that it created a miniroot.gz and a vmlinuz, but the directory
was all messed up. I'm also curious about the nvidia driver in 2.6.17.
Is it inside the file my_base_mod/base/morphix by mmaker ?

More nights without sleeping ... I think I'm starting to see things and
shadows moving around ... eheheh :-)

Best regards to you all,

Gabriel.

Hi there morphers!

First I'd like to thank you for the very detailed response about my
kernel doubt. I'm already playing with it.

Besides, after following Alex's suggestion about the autobuild
repository, I must confess that I'd really like to try building a 2.6.17
basemodule. I've started playing with it. There is just one little doubt
that was no clear to me after reading the manpage and Readme file for
mmaker. That is:

I'm using this command:

mmaker -m basemod_2.6.17/base/boot/miniroot.gz -k
basemod_2.6.17/base/boot/vmlinuz -t ./tmp -v
basemod-2.6.17-2006-12-15_0600.xml basemod_2.6.17/base/morphix

The mand tells me that, if I intend to build a basemod, I should (must?)
use the -m and -k options (??). mmaker will create miniroot.gz and
vmlinuz ? Or should I get them somewhere else ? It's really not clear
for me. Sorry.

Thank you once again !

Best regards to you all,

Gabriel.

I would recommend making a debian package and adding it to your basemod
xml package list. It's what I did :) For details look at make-kpkg. There
is more then one way to do it.

Hi Gabriel,

It's very much possible to change the kernel!

But first Nvidia and ATI. In the morphix package repository, the
2.6.17-morphix kernel is available with a nvidia-kernel package for it.
If you use a base ISO with this combination then you merely have to
install nvidia-glx in the mainmodule to get hardware acceleration
running. ATI should be even easier, it just needs the fglrx-kernel
package installed. See the autobuilds on morphix.org/autobuilds and the
packages in morphix.org/debian.

Now, a custom kernel. It's possible to do so by hand, but you'll need to
do a bit of work:

1. build your custom kernel
2. build your third-party kernel modules, and the cloop and unionfs
kernel modules
3. open the base ISO that you want to modify with the new kernel (mount
- -o loop base.iso /cdrom). Copy over it's contents into a directory order
to modify it.
4. replace yourbase/boot/vmlinuz with your kernel (bzImage)
5. gunzip and mount yourbase/boot/miniroot.gz, swap the modules in
yourminiroot/modules with the ones from your kernel, and make sure cloop
is in here too. gzip the miniroot and make sure it is replaced in
yourbase/boot/miniroot.gz
6. use module-extractor (from the morphix repository) to unpack
yourbase/base/morphix into a directory. Install all your kernel modules
into it. use module-builder to compress the directory back into
yourbase/base/morphix.

That's about it in a nutshell. There are tools and scripts written to
automate this process (change-base-kernel.sh in morph-scripts, and
isomaker does the above from scratch to make a new base ISO), but this
works if all else fails.

cheers,

Alex

No, the two don't have anything to do with each other.

So, question the first: Can anyone think of a good way to slim a Morphix
derivative down some? I am trying to cram as much useful stuff as
possible on a 200M CD - got the basics covered but there are a few
things I would really like but can't fit on the CD right now.
I noticed that all the drivers for xorg take up a huge amount of space
- is there a way to save some space there and still be compatible
across most systems? I don't need fancy X capabilities - mostly I use
it to run wireshark & ettercap in graphical mode.=20

And question the second: Is there a way to run the X session in
Morphix as root by default? I tried passing 'username=3Droot' as a
kernel parameter, but it appears that at some point, Morphix tries to
create a new user named root - and that doesn't work out too well. I
got a bit confused trying to figure out where exactly that kernel
parameter is used; and help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Juergen

Hi there morphers!

As you already might know, I'm playing with morphix again, which is very
cool and entertaining. I am currently trying to create a morph directed
do graphics and multimedia, as well as to let people know about some
nice games (such as tremulous, E.T. and others). I've installed and
successfully configured Enlightenment E-17 (and some of it's
applications) and it's very cool! 

I have a little doubt regarding kernel and 3D Acceleration. Please
forgive me if it's a stupid question, but I've already searched about
the topic for many times and got only some "File not found", "Page has
moved" and "Page unavaiable" messages. So I decided to ask you guys. 

The situation is:

I'm very interested in using a custom kernel with nvidia and ati drivers
available in my morph, as these packages come with Debian SID (I've
always used SID in my desktop and I have the nvidia driver and source
configured and working pretty well). 

After browsing the Internet I found an article "How to replace a Morphix
kernel with a custom one" at
http://www.geocities.com/g1powermac/kernel.html

The author says that it can only be made with 2.4 kernels, as 2.6 does
not support translucency. If it's so, then how can
"MorphixBase-0.5-pre6.iso" use 2.6 kernel ? What should I do ?

The question is:

Is it possible what I'm trying to do ?
Do you guys have any link or file that can send my to enlight my ideas ?

Any suggestions will be very appreciated.

Thank you 

Gabriel.

 Perhaps we should all pile down to Dock Green and insist that P.C. Dixon

Congratulations on your release.

Technically this creates some fun for me. As there has been a
interesting new piece of law in the UK.

http://www.theregister.com/2006/01/26/uk_computer_crime_revamp/
  "Clause 35 of the bill contains provisions to ban the development,
ownership and distribution of so-called "hacker tools"  "

So now the law is in force.

Further work on Morphix means I am breaking the Law. So after my next

By the way - My MP was on the Standing Committee :-

Hi there morphix friends !

I've played with morphix a few months ago. Everything was perfect!

Today I decided to make a new morph, based on the
MorphixBase-0.5-pre6.iso image.

I just repeated the process I used to create the old one and then, after
creating the iso I run qemu -cdrom mymorph.iso

It starts to load but, when it tries to load X, the following error
comes up:

(EE) Failed to load module "bitmap" (modules does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module "pcidata" (modules does not exist, 0)

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

I used the following packages (as I used with sucess on the previous
release of my morph):

x-window-system-core xfce4 xlibmesa3-dri xlibmesa3-glu xilbmesa3-gl
glutg3 mesa-utils mesademos mozilla-firefox morphix-init-scripts
morphix-init-lite

Can anyone give me a hint ?

Thank you very much

Gabriel Marques.

p.s. Cheers Alex ! :)

You're completely correct, it's back to C programming 101 for me.

Thanks for the fix. I'll commit the changes and upload a new MI package
shortly.

There has been some development on a MI-replacement in python, but it's
not production-quality yet. Then again, looking at the original MI code
from 3 years ago, the term 'production-quality' is rather flexible.

Thanks again,

Alex

Hello,

I've been experiencing a segmentation fault when I try and run=20
morphixinstaller on my system.  After carefully examining the code, the=20
segmentation fault appeared to occur in the BuildRoot function of instlib.c=
=20
where the code is examining the existing fstab file.  I was able to confirm=
=20
that was the section with the problem by deleting the existing /etc/fstab o=
n=20
my system.  With no /etc/fstab, the code skips the section and doesn't=20
trigger the segmentation fault.

While I'm far from a competent C programmer, I did notice that the int used=
 as=20
a loop counter (gint j) is not initialized in the code.  When I changed the=
=20
line 517 of instlib.c from:

gint i, j;

to:

gint i =3D 0;
gint j =3D 0;

the problem went away.

I know I saw at least one other user on the forums with this issue.  Are th=
ere=20
any reasons we shouldn't make this change?

Regards,

Mark Gannon

Fast!

I guess because of the same reasons cdrecord has been renamed to wodim;
the author wanted to change the license to something weird, and Debian had
been problems with him for a while I gather, so they forked the cd tools,
renaming them in the process.

Cheers,
Michiel

Good to know, thanks. Control files for morph-scripts and mmaker have
been updated.

Why are they changing these names, anyway?

Hi Morphers,

as of today, Debian sid has seen the following name changes:

  * Packages renamed: cdda2wav -> icedax, mkisofs -> genisoimage,
    + cdda2wav and mkisofs retained as dummy packages.

[from the changelog of cdrkit (9:1.1.0-1) unstable].

As there still are the dummy packages, my bet is our tools will continue
working, but it's something to keep our eye on when weird build bugs
start showing up. Besides, after Etch's release, I guess the dummy
packages will be removed at some time.

Cheers,
Michiel [aquatix]

No - not slower IMHO. Without eating up memory, files are overlaid.
Just like a MainModule.

But I think I may have tunnel vision about morphmini,
