[Morphix-user] Problems rebuilding kiosk

[Rudi v. D. <ru...@xs...>]

Hi all,

As I am pretty new to Morphix (and debian, I'm more of an BSD guy)
I suffer some problems with trying to rebuild (rebrand) a kiosk.
I follow the instructions on 
http://www.morphix.org/doc/how_tos/docbook_html/ar01s05.html
the template links are broken, but if I get the versions of the
files from the (new link) svn in sourceforge I do not end up with
the working (rebranded) version of morphix-kiosk.

I just want to change the background (now, that is easy, that works),
but also getting an customized home page (link). What set of (base
and main) module template files and the mini module template files will
work. I'm trying to build on ubuntu 7.04. 

If I do not need to do a complete rebuild and doing things an more easy
way (which for sure must exist, only I do not get the merits) to get
from a 0.0.3 iso for the kiosk to an version that has custom home page
and custom background an easy step by step guide would be highly
appreciated.

Thanks for your time

Rudi

This was actually much better and nearly a complete build. From the build log :-

"Your module is available as /tmp/libmorphix-hn4D66/base/morphix"
The base again built ok.

The mainmodule build process started:-
"Exec: /usr/sbin/debootstrap  sid /tmp/libmorphix-Z3n5Zs
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian
I: Retrieving Release
I: Retrieving Packages
I: Validating Packages"

Howver you did not have enough disk space:-
"E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/."

Use a hd partition with more free space. Or use an etch VM.

Was this using MorphingMorphix ? If so was it was the partition that
did not support file permissions. Did you get this message:-
"Setting up Morphing Morphix

This partition does support file permissions.
We need to make a 2.5G file on the partition to be used as
tmp file space."
Feedback on MorphingMorphix is useful as I am trying to finish the next release.

Hope this helps,
Brendan

I have bumped into that, i thought it was maybe some my bad setup.
Try downgrading your morphing tools (I'll try to see if I have any
notes from back then).  Iso was definitely not done well, but
everything else was good, as I recall.  I was able to get a good iso
by taking the trees from /tmp and buidling the iso by hand.

As the host system is _sarge_ - old stable and we are trying to build
sid, I'd recommend trying to build in host etch or newer. For some
reason sarge is trying to use cdebootstrap rather than debootstrap to
build the mainmodule. Debootstrap can create a Debian base system from
scratch, without requiring the availability of dpkg or apt.

See log ( http://build0.cynops.de/lightgui.txt ):-
"/usr/sbin/chroot: cannot run command `/usr/bin/apt-get': No such file
or directory"

However before upgrading is debootstrap installed ?

Hope this helps,
Brendan

I'd assume there are difficulties debootstrapping sid from within etch,
as the packages required to debootstrap in sid tend to change every so
often.

Alex, the simplest way to figure out what is going wrong with the
sid-debootstrap this is to run:

`/usr/bin/cdebootstrap  sid /tmp/libmorphix-something
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian`

from within the VM. Upgrading to sid or using the etch suite in your
lightgui template should solve this.

cheers,

Alex

It's a sarge system, could this be part of the problem? As it is a
testing VM anyway, I can easily update it to (etch|lenny|sid) if
it helps ...

I have had a quick look at build output. Looks like the base built ok,
but the MainModule did not build.

"Exec: /usr/bin/cdebootstrap  sid /tmp/libmorphix-jtjIOr
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian
E: Couldn't install system due to errors!"
As the _cdeboostrap_ failed, there was no apt available in the chroot
to complete the mainmodules build.

Looking at the autobuilds logs:-
http://www.morphix.org/autobuilds/mainmod/sid/
"Exec: /usr/sbin/debootstrap  sid /tmp/libmorphix-dHCak6 ftp://127.0.0.1/debian"

Have you got morphix-mmaker (0.4-41) or later installed. ?
See:-
http://morphix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/morphix/trunk/mmaker/debian/changelog?view=markup
http://morphix.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/morphix/trunk/mmaker/debian/changelog?view=log

Also are you building on an etch, lenny or etch debain system ?

Alex, Paul, - I am not sure if you need to have sid installed (and
debootstrap) to build sid ?

Brendan

[Morphix-user] Problems with morphing (kernel too old, etc.)

[Alexander K. <ak-...@cy...>]

Hi all,

I've been looking into Morphix to create a live CD for our open source
PKI/trust center project OpenXPKI.
For now, I've been trying to create the lightgui ISO as a start. I've
used the following command:

# isomaker -b ./basemod-2.6.17.xml -m ./lightgui.xml -r http://www.morphix.org/debian -p grub-gfxboot-iso-udeb -p morphix-cdrom-misc-udeb -p morphix-grub-menulist-udeb -p morphix-iso-grubtheme ./lightgui.iso
(adapted from the documentation with a HEAD basemod-2.6.17.xml and
lightgui.xml)

But I get a lot of error messages and an ISO which does not boot
completely as it seems to be missing quite a number of files.
The output of the command is available at http://build0.cynops.de/lightgui.txt

I'd be happy for any suggestions on how to proceed or how to further
debug this problem ...

Thanks in advance,
    Alex

There are mailinglists for a reason :)

The point is that other people might have the same issue, and a
mailinglist lets me only have to give a hint once. Also, I don't know
everything about the applications that go into Morphix, others might
know more about your particular problem with CUPS etc.

Fair enough. If you want to pick this up at a later time, feel free to

No prob, but what is the functionality of such a reply? Could not see

text?

Have appreciated your attention to this matter, but I think I will put
this issue aside for now. For me, it is a side project. I just wanted to
make an old machine into a usable Linux box to get some relatives "used
to Linux" without touching their own PCs (my K6 also happens to be a
small and light "pizza box", making it easier to transport). Morphix
allowed me to make the system font size larger. This is very much an
issue for older users. The others I tried did not.

I also tried DSL and Feather. The live CDs automatically recognized the
NIC, however not when they were installed on the HD, for some reason.
Neither DSL nor Feather responded to support emails.

Are you by any chance in Canada yourself?

   * Starting URL
   * Branding
   * Add to the mainmodule contains non-free - flash from

Re: [Morphix-devel] Fwd: Morphing-Morphix 0.3 ISO

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=44FD419B.5CCF0DC%40netmask.it

However, when I try to open it SF spits out a 500 Internal Server Error.


Anyways,

I have the following situation, I need to create a customized livecd off
Debian (Or Morphix, yay), for that I'm using vmware and Morphing Morphix
0.3; it boots perfectly and all, however it won't find the SCSI vmware
hardware.

I tried with a Debian Etch CD and it would find it perfectly, but it
won't find the vmware "hard disk" on Morphing Morphix 0.3.

Any ideas how could I fix this? was this reported already? I'm guessing
I'm missing a module, or that I should load a module, but I don't know
how in Morphix.

Thank you for any help.

Re: [Morphix-user] Dell Optiplex 320 and Morphix

[Matthew R. <mat...@gm...>]

I did a lot of searching around and it looks like grub has issues with
this chipset for most distributions.  The bootloader used by the
1-4-07 Knoppix works (syslinux) and a recent Debian Etch CD works if I
add the argument "pci=nomsi".  So I installed Etch on the box and
lilo, and I plan on having lilo boot the Morphix CD (I think this
should work).  If this sounds weird, it's because I need to have the
OS on the CD for security and the harddrive is for data.

The output of grub is simply to show the kernel chosen with the
arguments, and then it hangs.  Just like:
http://www.mail-archive.com/bug...@gn.../msg10791.html

I was looking into replacing grub with lilo on the basemod, but I
couldn't really sort that out.  Also, is there an authoritative page
on replacing the kernel used by the basemod?  Are there any special
kernel configurations, or is it just a vanilla kernel?

Thanks a lot!
Matt

Nope not tired with these machines. My Dell laptop still has problems

Try using text mode for grub rather than the graphical. Any output
would be a help debugging.

[Morphix-user] Dell Optiplex 320 and Morphix

[Matthew R. <mat...@gm...>]

So I have a new Dell Optiplex 320 and a month-old build of Morphix
with Etch sources and this machine will not boot at all.  Googling
around says to add "pci=nomsi" to my boot options for the kernel, so I
added them to the end of the grub line and still nothing.  Has anyone
else played with these machines?  Dell seems to be working extra hard
lately to drop Linux compatibility (I had to send back a whole
shipment of Dimension C521s because of their sheer crappiness).  I'm
not getting any debugging messages, just the output of the kernel to
be booted with the options.  My plan of attack is to grab the latest
of everything and try again, but I thought I might ask if anyone here
knows better.

Thanks,
Matt

ps- I sent this to the devel list as well, sorry for the crosspost.

[Morphix-user] Announcement: Morphix Based Security CD by the German BSI

Hi *,

with a little delay I wanted to announce that the Morphix Based CD I
were working on was finally released:

Its the new version 2.0 of the BSI Nessus Live CD BOSS (BSI OSS
Security Suite).  It's a security Live CD, mainly focused on the
Nessus network scanner published by the German BSI (Federal Office for
Information Security).


If you are interested the Live CD and the matching source CDs are
available here: (the i18n and docs on the CD are German only)
http://www.bsi.de/produkte/boss/index.htm#download2

Thanks to everyone helping, especially for the support with
collecting the sources.

cheers
sascha

Someone mentioned that gfxboot was pure voodoo, which I'd agree. I
spend quite a while trying to get the message file to build on the new
version.  Documentation is worse then Morphix documentation.

Upgrading to the latest Ubuntu version might be the *right* way to go.
But it would be a hell of a lot of effort for little gain.
(Unless I have missed some of the gains ? - feedback welcome)

Anyone else got experience with gfxboot, who would fancy helping out ?

Regards,
Brendan

Shouldn't be too hard. Prod me on IRC when you have some time and we'll
sort this out. I'd prefer to use the latest version of gfxboot though...
