SHA1-MD5.txt
Complete system update/upgrade and outfitted with a Void Linux kernel 6.1.4_1
Improved and rebuilt initrd.qz including expanded support for SD cards.
Routine system update/upgrade. And wallpapers from @Sofiya are included, replacing some of the stock xfce4 backgrounds.
@wiak has done work improving the boot system menus and further improvement to the initrd.gz boot mechanisms :
The iso config file boot/grub/menu.lst is used to boot from cdrom using that internal to iso provided menu.lst (i.e. he currently uses grub4dos for that purpose).
The iso config file boot/grub/loopback.cfg is used (per usual) to provide the boot menu for SG2D
The iso config file boot/grub/grub.cfg is used by Ventoy (but included no Ventoy-compatible entries until my alterations below)I have made some modifications to all of the above (though have left previous entries in place for later experimentation and possible modification or deletion).
In particular I have provided the ability when booting via SG2D or Ventoy of using the FR modes:a. RAM0 for session changes in RAM only (i.e. no save persistence)
b. RAM2 save on demand mode back to upper_changes folder (or ucimg savefile) in same directory iso is stored (or in subdirectory if symlink manually made to iso).
c. RAM2 save on demand mode back to upper_changes folder in, Clarity suggested, partition with LABEL 'Persistence' and directory 'Sessions'
d. Direct save (not in RAM) back to upper_changes folder (or ucimg savefile) in same directory iso is stored (or in subdirectory if symlink manually made to iso).
e. Direct save (not in RAM) back to upper_changes folder in, Clarity suggested, partition with LABEL 'Persistence' and directory 'Sessions'No editing of the presented SG2D or Ventoy boot menus will be required to achieve these most useful FR initrd modes. User just needs to put the KLV iso in BOOTISOS (or wherever it is put usually) and boot...
starting of the pulseaudio system for any user that is logged in has been fixed and improved. Thanks wiak, Sofiya and fredx181 for the exact steps.
Upgraded to a new version of @fredx181 's save2flash, and set LANG=en_US.UTF-8
in /etc/environment as default localization.
Thanks to @Sofiya for the poorercputemp and Display Control packages that also have been added to desktop.
Grub4Dos is now included in the System menu. Making KLV-Airedale capable of setting up a boot-able device using GParted and Grub4Dos.
CUPS starting as a service has been added and is working thanks to @rcrsn51 spotting missing components!
This is constructed from KLV-Airedale-beta27->rc1->rc2->rc3->rc4->rc4.1 and is equipped with a Void Linux kernel version 6.0.12_1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC constructed with @wiak 's scripts that will extract the Void Linux kernel for KLV. Also has had a system wide upgrade. Uses an initrd.gz based on the FirstRib skeleton initrd.gz constructed by the kernel/module creation script. Firmware SFS is from a woof-CE kernel-kit built huge 6.0.0-1 kernel.
KLV-Airedale-rc5 is just as at home on FAT32, NTFS prtitions as it is running from ext2/3/4 formatted partitions.
Also included is wiak's generate a set of boot stanzas script. fredx181's mksplash has a menu entry and the remaster script is installed.
With the addition of a xfce4 desktop tiling configuration. A tip from wiak for configuring Tiling windows done with the Super (Windows) key and an up, down, left, right, home, pgup, pgdown or end key.
gxmessage in the default rootfs.
save2flash has been expanded to handle persistence on FAT32 and NTFS partitions.
The mksplash GUI utility to create splash notification banners.
The latest initrd.gz brings vFat and NTFS formatted partition support to KLV, allowing persistence on NTFS/vFat systems as well as the usual /ext2/ext3/ext4/swap support.
included
htop, Grub4Dos, CUPS
created a symlink
/root/spot
with the target/home/spot
Auto login cleaned up.
includes also the logout logic provided by fredx181 gives true mulit-user support.
replaced loop.cfg to the most recent modifications.
Debian kernel 6.0.0-3-KLV SMP PREEMPT DYNAMIC is used.
added gtkhash
Plus the other important improvements contributed by the KLV team.
Added @fredx181's save2flash utility that can be used when KLV is started in RAM2 mode to perform session saves on demand for persistence.
This is similar to PUPMODE13 in Puppy Linux.
fredx181's swap partition enable script includes the latest revisions and also added are the packages
mime-add-1.0_0.noarch.xbps
edit-sfs-1.0_0.noarch.xbps
KLV-Airedale-beta25 is able to load squash SFS packages on the fly or during the boot sequence.
Squash files and ISO images can be opened from the file manager and the read the contents.
can run with rootfs, 01fimware and 00module SFS files as uncompressed directories.
Also able to load compressed and/or decompressed directories,
once a 2 digit prefix is added to the file name.It is possible to mix using compressed squash files and uncompressed directories.
Also can be downloaded from https://rockedge.org/kernels in ISO->Kennel_Linux->Airedale
