Re: Bookworm Build script
hi fredx181
continue to play with debiandog
the more you look at it the more amazing it is
a masterpiece
perfect system
incredible asset to puppy world
thanks again
wanderer
Re: Bookworm Build script
hi fredx181
i just wanted you to know
that your script is so well written and clear
that i do not expect to need any help in achieving my goal
which will really just be a version of debiandog (or whatever you really would like to call it)
thank you so much for creating this masterpiece
it is just what i have been looking for

first make your local-repositories, in my case:
/run/live/persistence/sdb2/local-repositories/x86/packages-deb-bullseye
then run this script
#!/bin/bash
#Put here yours apps
BASE_INSTALL="firefox"
apt-get install -o dir::cache=/run/live/persistence/sdb2/local-repositories/x86/packages-deb-bullseye $BASE_INSTALL
firefox will download all its deb in this path /run/live/persistence/sdb2/local-repositories/x86/packages-deb-bullseye
(make your own path) then if you need firefox again, only run this script no need internet.

Hi Andres . On itself your suggestion is good, but the question from wanderer was not about that, I think it was basically:
Will all the downloaded deb files from previous run be deleted when running the mklive script more than once ?.
And I answered something like:
No, these deb files from previous run will be kept and used, not needed to download again.
I just like clarity about things Hopefully it is now.
Re: Bookworm Build script
hi fredx181 and AndresC2
thanks for all your help
fredx181 i understood what you meant
the debs are in archive (found them) also saw where its done in the script
but if i understand right Andreas is giving me a way to run mklive offline
im not sure about it yet ( still testing and reading the script )
but doesnt the script have to reconnect and get some stuff online each time
like a new debootstrap
anyway like i said the script is so clear
i will be able to figure it all out just by testing and reading the script
thanks again
wanderer

Also the deb packages that were earlier downloaded by debootstrap are being used again without downloading, so then debootstrap only has to unpack the packages (unless there's a new version of some package, but that's often exception).
For some other stuff it will re-download, yes, but is mostly small size.

Re: Bookworm Build script
Hey Fredx181 of the under-the-sea lands.
Command line version has less options.
I'd like to extend them and provide a way to add packages by searching for package names.
The part which selects graphical environment is unreadable to me.
When trying to read I was thinking: fuck the terminal, fuck the bash and fuck the command line.
So I had to make a fresh start and came up with this little script:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# List of preselected packages
preselected_packages=("curl" "git" "vim")
# Initialize an array to hold selected packages
selected_packages=("${preselected_packages[@]}")
selected_for_removal=() # Track packages marked for removal
search_results=()
search_term=""
cursor=0
error_message=""
RESULTS_PER_PAGE=10
current_page=0
total_pages=0
mode="selected" # Modes: search, selected
# Function to display the menu
show_menu() {
clear
if [ "$mode" == "search" ]; then
echo "Search: $search_term"
echo "Use arrow keys to navigate, space to toggle selection, and Enter to search."
echo "--------------------------------------------------"
if [[ -n "$error_message" ]]; then
echo "Error: $error_message"
echo "--------------------------------------------------"
elif [[ ${#search_results[@]} -eq 0 ]]; then
echo "No results found."
else
start_index=$((current_page * RESULTS_PER_PAGE))
end_index=$((start_index + RESULTS_PER_PAGE))
if [ $end_index -gt ${#search_results[@]} ]; then
end_index=${#search_results[@]}
fi
for ((i = start_index; i < end_index && i < ${#search_results[@]}; i++)); do
pkg=${search_results[i]}
if [[ " ${selected_packages[@]} " =~ " ${pkg} " ]]; then
status="[X]"
else
status="[ ]"
fi
if [ $i -eq $((cursor + current_page * RESULTS_PER_PAGE)) ]; then
echo -e "> $status $pkg"
else
echo " $status $pkg"
fi
done
total_pages=$(((${#search_results[@]} + RESULTS_PER_PAGE - 1) / RESULTS_PER_PAGE))
echo "--------------------------------------------------"

This Bash script allows users to select packages for installation or removal interactively using a terminal interface. It provides two modes: select and search.
Select Mode: Displays a list of preselected packages along with the option to mark packages for removal. Users can navigate through the list using arrow keys, toggle package selection with the space bar, and confirm their selections with the Enter key.
Search Mode: Enables users to search for packages using keywords. As users type in their search term, the script dynamically displays matching packages. Again, users can navigate the search results, toggle selections, and confirm their choices.
Usage:
Navigation Controls:
Use the Up and Down arrow keys to move the cursor up and down the list.
Use the Right and Left arrow keys to navigate between pages in search results.
Press Tab to switch between Select Mode and Search Mode.
Package Selection:
In Select Mode, press the Space bar to toggle the selection of a package.
In Search Mode, press Space to select or deselect a package from the search results.
Confirmations:
Press Enter to confirm your selections or initiate a search.
When prompted, use y to confirm an action and n to cancel.
Installation:
Once selections are finalized, the script proceeds with the installation or removal of the chosen packages.
Keyboard Controls:
Navigation Controls:
Up Arrow: Move the cursor upward in the list of packages.
Down Arrow: Move the cursor downward in the list of packages.
Right Arrow: Navigate to the next page (for search results).
Left Arrow: Navigate to the previous page (for search results).
Tab: Toggle between Select Mode and Search Mode.
Package Selection:
Space Bar: Toggle the selection of a package.
In Select Mode, toggles the selection status of the highlighted package.
In Search Mode, selects or deselects the highlighted package from the search results.
Search Input:
Characters: Type characters to enter search terms. Results dynamically update as you type.
Backspace: Remove the last character from the search term.
Confirmations:
Enter: Confirm selections or initiate a search based on the current mode.
In Select Mode, confirms selected packages or initiates a search with the entered search term.
In Search Mode, initiates a search with the entered search term.
y (or Y): Confirm an action (e.g., proceeding with selected packages or selected action).
n (or N): Cancel the action or exit the script without proceeding.
Edit: A little demo on how it works:
If you wish you could integrate something like this in the build script.

edit: misunderstood...
Don't understand what exactly, the bash menu when running with -cli
OR do you mean when running with -gui
EDIT: Oh well, probably you mean with -cli, what's the problem being unreadable, can you show screenshot perhaps ?
Btw, when running with -cli
you're supposed to edit the .conf file in /tmp, to add/remove packages.
(as opposed to when running with -gui
where you can edit the package list directly in the GUI)

I misunderstood earlier, see what you mean now, the code part in the script for the bash-menu, it works ok, but yes it's a bit weird (edit: but your code isn't very easy to read too, btw ).
Tried your script and found that added packages to the list by search fail to install. Probably because the variable for these contain the package description.
Package apt-config-icons for example:
Code: Select all
> [X] curl
[X] git
[X] vim
[X] apt-config-icons - APT configuration snippet to enable icon d...
--------------------------------------------------
E: Unable to locate package apt-config-icons - APT configuration snippet to enable icon d...
EDIT:
Fixed that problem, I think, see below modified code, on itself I like it being a sort of simple cli package manager, but how to integrate in the build script is another thing, perhaps at the point when running in the chroot, something like this could be useful.
Code: Select all

Re: Bookworm Build script
I messed up in the end, forgot to test the install part.
You removed the description and now it works.
I'll see when I have time to add the description to the "selected" view.

Re: Bookworm Build script
What ?!! You do some brilliant coding (yes ) and forget the following most important thing: TEST !!?
I'll see when I have time to add the description to the "selected" view.
I think it's nice to see the description when searching, but IMO not really necessary to show in the select view.
Re: Bookworm Build script
hi everyone
i am using bookworm
but am not able to connect to the internet sometimes
even though i am on a wired connection

Re: Bookworm Build script
Can you provide more info about what exact configuration you used to build bookworm ? For example, with or without systemd and/or which network manager, e.g. frisbee or peasywifi is included .
And what you get on the problematic machine when you type in terminal: ifconfig -a
Re: Bookworm Build script
hi fredx181
i built everything on a compaq laptop with 2 gigs of ram
the computer that will not access the wired internet is a dell desktop with 4 gigs of ram
on my build
no systemd
peasywifi
the original iso that i built everything on also will not access wired internet
peasywifi and ifconfig -a seem to give pretty much the same message on both computers
but i dont know what i am looking for in their output
and its pretty long
not a big deal since i can use the laptop
so i will try to gather more data
and ask again when i have more info
could there be a module missing that is needed for the slightly newer dell desktop ?
and thanks again for all your help and for making this masterpiece

Re: Bookworm Build script
Open the Ethernet section. Click I/F. Do you have eth0?
Click on Reconnect. Then click on Info. Does eth0 get an IP address?
Re: Bookworm Build script
hi rcrsn51
thanks for your help
edit
i/f
does not list eth0
its blank
on the computer that works it lists eth0
the dell that doesnt work
with upup32
lists the interface as enp2s0
type wired
driver tg3
bus pci
hardware BC:30:5B:A9:E0:71
maybe it doesnt have the right driver for the dell hardware

Re: Bookworm Build script
Hi wanderer,
Is it listed as enp2s0 on upup32 only and not on bookworm ?
If also on bookworm, the wired interface seems to be recognized but with other name, often interfaces have these "cryptic" names like enp2s0 when booted with systemd, anyway, two options:
1) add net.ifnames=0
to your grub? kernel boot command line, then the wired interface should be named eth0 at reboot
Or:
2) edit the peasywifi config: /etc/pwf/interfaces and change ETH0="eth0" to ETH0="enp2s0"
If there's no wired interface listed on bookworm then 1) or 2) have no effect, and the problem may be because of missing firmware.
When doing a new bookworm build you can try adding firmware-linux-nonfree to the packages install list (not sure though if that fixes the problem).
edit: firmware-misc-nonfree should be ok too, see next posts (firmware-linux-nonfree contains it also, but has a bit more).

Re: Bookworm Build script
@wanderer , here's a firmware sfs module 99-firmware-bookworm.squashfs , just place it in the frugal install "live" folder and reboot.
https://drive.google.com/uc?export=down ... 6HaMRL4g5l
It contains lots of firmware, also from the package firmware-misc-nonfree .
Note: this is for a usr-merged filesystem (where e.g. /bin and /lib are symlinks, not regular folders), does not work if you have chosen "no-merged-usr" at build time.
edit: or, make a new build and add firmware-misc-nonfree to the package install list.
edit: or download from other system and install on your Dell the deb package https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/al ... e/download
dpkg -i firmware-misc-nonfree_20230210-5_all.deb
Re: Bookworm Build script
thanks so much guys
for all your help
will follow up
and report back
edit
just wanted to report that i finally had the opportunity to try your suggestions
have had no luck yet
however i am comparing the distros that do work with the offending machine with debiandog
to isolate the issue
and as i said debiandog works on my laptop
so i will build and study it on that machine
so no further requests for help at this time
and thanks again for your patience
and for making this masterpiece

Updated: Bookworm Build script
*** Updated: Bookworm Build script ***
New attachment at first post
Fixed that the build got stuck recently on installing latest debootstrap version, to prevent such problem in the future, now it will install a slightly older version (1.0.134) from the custom MakeLive repo at github.
Re: Bookworm Build script
As always nice work fred181
I decided to try again with bookworm. I planned to do it after you added the option for non-merged filesystem.
I have an issue and I don't know if it has been mentioned before. It is too simple to describe so the results are thousands.
I have a brand new i5-14600k with Asus Motherboard and m2 SSD.
I used the appimage and generated the files needed for a frugal install.
My problem is that when I select the bookworm boot option the screen goes completely blank (no messages -no anything), caps lock works (=PC is not stuck) and nothing else happens. I tried with nomodeset parameter but didn't change anything. Note: I boot with the files generated by the boot image . I do not load any save file or any extra squashfs files.
I must mention that my normal bulleye frugal install in the same PC when booting debian it also shows a blank screen for a few seconds but the image re-appears a bit after all the squashfs are loaded and everything works normal.
I believe this is related to the specific PC but I can't think of what else to do. I'll try running bookworm tomorrow in my old e8600 core2 and see what happens.
Thanks again for your effort

Re: Bookworm Build script
I don't know if it helps, but I have a Core Duo E8400 HP Desktop and it won't run any kernel much past Stretch.
Re: Bookworm Build script
In my lab I have e4400+ (and some older) PCs. They all run bullseye dog 64bit . A few months ago I copied the 6.1( or higher) kernel that @fredx181 send me. They all run very well. I have Dells,HPs and Lenovo core duos and core2duo (my main home PC is an i3 13th gen)
Re: Bookworm Build script
Update2 : Adding kernel parameter "i915.modeset=1" starts the system but again the monitor shows the end of the boot process. Any ideas (kernel parameter on how to see the boot process from the start?
Update1:
I booted again (let it a minute just to make sure the system is booted) and while the screen was still black I presses Ctrl+Alt+F7 (new linux session terminal) . I then typed (blindly) root/root (to login to the terminal) and the login window showed up.
So, I guess the problem is display related. I have no idea what I should do since the screen goes black at the millisecond I select the specific boot option from grub2.
Is there a kernel option I could use? nomodeset did not had any effect.

Re: Bookworm Build script
@trister
I used the appimage
Tested making a build with mklive-bookworm64 (appimage) using your attached config "build_setup__240730bookworm02.conf.txt" and it boots fine for me, so, no idea what can be the problem for you.
I planned to do it after you added the option for non-merged filesystem.
Btw, I noticed in your config that it's containing NMU="TRUE"
(no-merged-usr) but the appimage can only build with merged-usr.
The mklive-bookworm script from first post does have the choice for no-merged-usr though .
EDIT: You may want to try booting with a different (older?) kernel, but be sure it's usr-merged or no-usr-merged matching with the filesystem.
