First Rib with Plug script.

[wiak]

@wiak All of my reports today are results from build runs using:

Code: Select all

build_firstrib_rootfs.sh
version="8.0.0"; revision="-rc5"

As I mentioned early today I git pulled the latest from GitHub and have been running builds today using what ever the very latest commits have been.

I have not seen the resolver.confORIG problem at all today. I mentioned that I did see it before. Both builds I ran in the last hour both have still had pieces mounted but once umounted the file systems works fine. These 2 runs have been Fedora and now I am doing a KL Void minimal to start a fresh experimental platform.

Unless indicated I am using the very latest version of the build script which is version="8.0.0"; revision="-rc5" at this moment.

Okay, thanks rockedge. Must be a different problem to do with the mount binds. I have no time as I say right now, but will check that later. Just posted 8.0.0 -rc6, but that won't fix any mount bind issues.

Quick check and I note that I have the addons_f.plug being sourced prior to the bind umounts. That is potentially problematic. If you do a cd inside the addons_f.plug that would mean the umounts might not work. i.e. the issue could be something in addons_f.plug. I'll try and re-arrange that more safely when I have time to look into the likely cause later.

Code: Select all

    [ -s ./addons_f.plug ] && . ./addons_f.plug  # for downloading layer addons and FR utils (e.g. 12KL...sfs; 11rox...sfs, wd_grubconfig)
    sync;sync
	# Finished doing the INSIDE_CHROOT stuff so can now clean up the chroot bind mounts:
	umount -l firstrib_rootfs/proc && umount -l firstrib_rootfs/sys && umount -l firstrib_rootfs/dev/pts && umount -l firstrib_rootfs/dev

[wiak]

Finished one home job, so took quick stab at fixing build_firstrib_rootfs.sh again. Did a fedora build from scratch and no error and resolv.conf was created and returned to what it was as I hoped. No mounts were dangling. Might have been a lucky one and may be differnent on a Void Linux build. However, one step at a time.

Also, if you do get dangling mounts, the best attempt to remove these apart from manually umount or rebooting is to not use mount_chroot.sh, but rather umount_chroot.sh and if the filesystem isn't named firstrib_rootfs but something else, say 07firstrib_rootfs then you'd run the umount_chroot command as:

Code: Select all

./umount_chroot.sh 07firstrib_rootfs

However, I don't want dangling mounts so hopefully latest yet again build_firstrib_rootfs.sh upload to gitlab ver 8.0.0 -rc7 has fixed that at least for fedora build case. I'll need to think about this more carefully since current hack done in too much of a rush...

It's tricky/inconvenient to everyone when a new build is suddenly popular but tricky little bug-fixes are needed and going on... but that's life...

[rockedge]

I finished up a KLF build without any addons_f.plug file included. The build finished successfully and everything was un-mounted. Earlier when the dangling mounts first appeared my first try at it was the umount_chroot script. That did not do it. But first using mount_chroot then the umount script fixed it. The very next build run using the scripts did not umount anything and I did it manually. But now with the rootfs name change commented out or in my case, no addons_f.plug included, the umount of the file system is correct and complete.

Also I have begun to delete the contents of /var/cache directories as well as the contents of /usr/lib/modules and /usr/lib/firmware and so far have not had any noticeable side-effects. The empty cache directories saved another 131 M in the rootfs.

Yes, I usually delete most cache directories when making iso. I check value of that with the likes of gdmap.

That latest builf_firstrib5_rootfs.sh now only processes addons_f.plug after unmount cleanups done so hopefully ok now. It was daft of me putting addons processing earlier - don't know what I was thinking... Was working on too many things in parallel so accidentally set that booby trap.

It's the fedora fdstrap.sh that caused grief. It leaves behind dangling /etc/resolv.conf symlink which other builds never did. Problem resulting was previous code couldn't do straight cp of host system resolv.conf over a symlink so needed to delete it temporarily first, but I wanted to restore original at the end, which I now do. Fdstrap.sh build caused same issue with mount_chroot.sh. Never had issues with that before, which is how I noticed the problem. Simple fix but slightly tricky and I messed it up... but hopefully fixed in both scripts now.

[wiak]

Other issue was that I didnt plan for addons_f.plug before. Proper fix will be to store builddir path and cd there prior to umount cleanups. Current build script using too many simple relative links like cd ..
I'll replace most of them with absolute paths to make more robust later. I.e. use of $PWD or pwd or similar at builddir location. That approach avoids such addons_plug accidents altogether.

[williwaw]

But did some or all of your builds work?

the builds I attempted in viewtopic.php?p=96403#p96403
never got fully build on account of my poor internet connection, my inexperience, issues with the script and lack of a kernel.

as for the ones attempted in viewtopic.php?t=9367
they all booted, even the early ones without 00zdr and 01fdr, albeit the framebuffer? (where the text drops down to the smaller size?) never kicked in and my issues were trying to get NetworkManager running, which now seems to work with the configuration last reported in that How-To.

If you want to download these components you either just do so on the host using wget to gitlab firstrib, or you put the download (wget) commands inside an addons_f.plug just prior to doing the build.

will try tonight with addons_f.plug. are there choices to be considered as to what needs to get downloaded to the boot folder? is there a example addons_f.plug that pulls in what ever else is needed to be obtained (besides the building of the firstrib-rootfs) to make a frugal install?

[wiak]

addons_f.plug is just a list of commands you might want to do at the end of building firstrib_rootfs. I've only thus far ever used it with fedora rawhide builds, but the ones from there are generic. Which one you use depends if you want to also download a (usually) working huge-kernel/00zdrv(moduls)/01fdr(firmware) combination. The one below does all of that including the almost always useful 12KL sfs and, if a GUI build the sometimes useful 11r_rox sfs. Also fetches the necessary FR initrd.gz for booting and moves firstrib_rootfs to a necessary numbered layer (07firstrib_rootfs).

The other stuff below are optional utilities such as modify_initrd_gz.sh (allowing user to change initrd.gz contents), mount_chroot.sh (allowing user to chroot into a completed firstrib_rootfs, or 07firstrib_rootfs build to add packages; usually via the applicable package manager in the build), and umount_chroot.sh, which cleans up the bind mounts used by mount_chroot.sh. I'll probably change mount_chroot.sh cos really could clean up the bind mounts at the end of that script though the umount script proves useful to get out of trouble sometimes. Most all FR utilities have a --help option. Basically it is a kit for building distros with build_firstrib_rootfs.sh along with the FR skeleton initrd.gz being the main part of it; the other utilities are optional and user can fetch whatever huge-kernel/00modules/01firmware sfs combination they want to use... Just happen to be using addons_f.plug to script such manual little bits and pieces for convenience, but isn't really necessary. It's really just a new facility to help me easily provide full build examples.

Regular forum members like yourself who have plenty of experience more generally at the commandline and understand the purpose of vmlinuz, modules, firmware, and initrd.gz don't actually need it since can just copy and paste in the bits and pieces manually to complete the frugal install. However, it does give us all a way of providing our own builds for others to use without them having to type in anything manually aside from the ./build_firstrib_rootfs.sh commandline.

So, generic, addons_f.plug content (though user can add whatever they want since just really the manual commands they might choose to do once main firstrib_rootfs/ has been created:

wiak, I gave it a go with out the addon .plug and with the build-rootfs 800-7

seems to be working fine, and downloading my new desktop at the moment

posting from a different machine, and I know I got the build script name wrong but the latest version, anyways, uploaded 5 or 6 hours ago.

[williwaw]

@geo_c Here we go!

These instructions are for Void Linux based systems. Void Linux is proving to be one of if not the most efficient Linux operating system currently available.
These are the steps here outlined:
1. build the rootfs
2. clean up rootfs then squash it it to 07rootfs.sfs
3. mount the uncompressed firstrib_rootfs using the utility mount_chroot.sh

Code: Select all

./mount_chroot.sh firstrib_rootfs

4.using xbps-install -y linux get a Void Linux kernel (later we can go over how to use a huge kernel instead.)
5. using the initrd build script create the initrd.img which is equal to initrd.gz and can be renamed to that.
6. using the extract kernel script build the vmlinuz

To start create a directory to build in. For this example I'll call it /prototype. After downloading Firstrib-utilites.tar.xz decompress the file and copy the files to the directory /prototype which then should look like this screenshot:
Screenshot(24).jpg

For the PLUG I'll choose f_00_Void_KLV_XFCE_no-kernel_WDLteam-RC5.plug which will be copied to /prototype
Screenshot(25).jpg

Now start a to build the rootfs in a terminal within /prototype:

Code: Select all

./build_firstrib_rootfs.sh void roll amd64 f_00_Void_KLV_XFCE_no-kernel_WDLteam-RC5.plug

Screenshot(26).jpg
Go get coffee.
Once finished there should be a directory /prototype/firstrib_rootfs

If you get here, we are ready to make the rootfs.sfs and prepare for building the initrd.gz and extracting the vmlinuz.

I am curious about step 2. In what way do you clean up your rootfs before squashing it or otherwise using it as 07rootfs?

I am more curious about step 4. Can xbps-install -y linux be used in a plugfile during an initial build of the firstrib-rootfs? does it create a vmlinz that I can pull out of the firstrib-rootfs before squashing (or not) into 07rootfs.sfs?

[rockedge]

In what way do you clean up your rootfs before squashing it or otherwise using it as 07rootfs?

Clean the caches! Empty /var/cache/xbps and /var/cache/fontconfig and empty /root/cache/sessions and any other directories.
Check the /root/.bash_history and ensure it is empty. Check also any file that has shell history like if /root/.history exists, is also empty.

Can xbps-install -y linux be used in a plugfile during an initial build of the firstrib-rootfs? does it create a vmlinz that I can pull out of the firstrib-rootfs before squashing (or not) into 07rootfs.sfs?

Yes it can! After the firstrib_rootfs is created with xbps-install -y linux added in, run the script FRmake_initrd .sh like this:

Code: Select all

./FRmake_initrd.sh latest firstrib_roots

Then run FRextract_kernel.sh to extract the vmlinuz like this:

Code: Select all

./FRextract_kernel.sh firstrib_rootfs

Check /usr/lib/modules and /usr/lib/firmeware are empty because these contents will be supplied by 00modules.sfs and the 01firmware.sfs.
now squash the uncompressed modulesXXXXX directory. To make the 01firmware.sfs take the contents of /firstrib_rootfs/usr/lib/firmware and make a squash file from it BEFORE deleting the contents.

[williwaw]

In what way do you clean up your rootfs before squashing it or otherwise using it as 07rootfs?

Clean the caches! easy enough, thanks!

now squash the uncompressed modulesXXXXX directory. To make the 01firmware.sfs take the contents of /firstrib_rootfs/usr/lib/firmware and make a squash file from it BEFORE deleting the contents.

squash the uncompressed modulesXXXXX directory

like this?
cd /firtsrib-rootfs/usr/lib
mksquash modules 00modules.sfs

hmmm..
But with the firmware you say to squash the contents
so....
cd /firstrib_rootfs/usr/lib/firmware
mksquashfs directory-a directory-b directory-c.... 01firmware.sfs

any particular options for mksquashfs?

[rockedge]

To create the firmware SFS first make a directory /01firmware
Then inside of /01firmware make directories /usr/lib/
Copy from /firstrib_rootfs the directory /usr/lib/firmware and it's contents over to the /01firmware directory you created in the step before.
So it looks like this:
/01firmware/usr/lib/firmware

Then squash the directory /01firmware with PackIt to 01firmware.sfs

@rockedge

I was looking back to May 2019 near when I first started making build_firstrib_rootfs script which at that time was for Void Linux root filesystem builds only. Wow, it was intense work at the time, and you came along early too!

https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtop ... 8#p1029088

#17 Post by rockedge » Sat 25 May 2019, 19:05
you caught my attention...so I am going to set up what you have built.

Looks interesting and I will report if successful..

Then by June 2019 work the very first initrd had been made and no more than a couple of months later the initrd.gz of the time was pretty close in most basic functionality to what FR skeleton initrd.gz is now! Well all the pretty complex w_bootfrom, w_changes, w_altNN, UUID, LABEL related code was added in the years since... but the core stuff (e.g. up to 99, NN numbered layers: compressed as sfs, or as uncompressed directories) was already long in place.

https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtop ... 9#p1030339

Started new thread on creation of initramfs for FirstRib to allow it to be booted independently of any host Linux. The first, very simple, initramfs build script has now been uploaded with details here:
https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtop ... 0#p1030320
As explained there, this first initramfs isn't of much practical use. Rather it is uploaded to illustrate some general principles of initramfs construction.
With suitable vmlinuz kernel (that from BionicPup is highly recommended) it may, depending on your hardware, allow firstrib_rootfs to be booted independently (albeit without internet connectivity unless your firstrib_rootfs has been expanded to include network apps/configuration). Nor does this first initramfs provide save persistence, though next build script (already working but not yet uploaded) will provide that via overlayfs/chroot mechanism.

The earliest firstrib posts didn't involve an initrd at all, but was just used as a chroot system for use in other distros; still very useful for that of course. Anyway, was looking through them for earliest Void Linux build attempts, which were pretty interesting (first few didn't bother with PAM, shadow; just manually created /etc/passwd, and /etc/group, so pretty small commandline only system - neat in a way). Then I've been looking at some of your [rockedge] own later full-on JWM/ROX f_plugs, but seems to be some code lines missing... no mention of installing either xorg, or JWM in them! Thought I should mention this since you have advised some to try building using them. See here:

f_00_Void_KLV_no-kernel_WDLteam-minimal.plug

f_00_Void_KLV_JWM_no-kernel_WDLteam-minimal.plug

No mention of xorg or jwm install in above as far as I can see. They are from your site: https://rockedge.org/kernels under Firstrib->FR-utilities
Or have I just missed something in my quick look?

[wiak]

I'm actually going 'back in time' to then because I want to see what minimum Void Linux based X build I can make. We were able to use build made via package xorg-minimal in chroot builds back then but found we needed xorg (template with 'lots' provided by it) to get X working with initrd so something to do with missing dependencies it seems. I'd like to find out what was the issue. Maybe we already did, but I can't remember.

One (irrelevant) mistake in most of these f_ plugins is that we install 'shadow', but don't need to since base-minimal already installs that according to its template dependencies.

It was crazy time back then, specially with the initrd development, because I was just making it from first principles and half the time 'guessing' what might or might not work. Didn't use code from any other initrd (cos most all were too complex for me to bother reading like alone understanding) so every dev step was done with little hope anything would actually work... somehow it all did. Nowadays that much is really easy since FR initrd.gz has proven itself to work so faultlessly with so many distro variant root filesystems. Amazing really; frankly I doubt I could have done the same work today as I (somehow) managed back then.

Interestingly, I realised early on the potential to boot most any distros beginning with:

FirstRib running an 'actual' Puppy
#157 Post by wiak » Sun 21 Jul 2019, 01:25

Just for fun, I used the script on an actual but uncompressed pupXXX.sfs renamed to firstrib_rootfs to use resultant initramfs02.gz to boot that actual Puppy root filesystem:

unsquashed BionicPup64 puppy_bionicpup64_8.0.sfs
renamed the resulting unsquashed directory to firstrib_rootfs
etc...etc...etc...

(Unnecessarily methinks) Sent shivers down some spines at the time.

[rockedge]

@wiak I have been making Firstrib/WeeDog/KLV's for awhile now is true! I realized the huge potential as I read about it and after trying out a build shortly thereafter. The quality of the FirstRib/Kennel Linux builds have improved steadily.

I run into the problem a lot lately that I know early on we worked through how to set up Xorg and all of that was done chroot'ed and then added Xnest into it. With enough confidence we went to frugal set ups quite quickly and I remember, but forgot most details, the efforts to get the X server going. I am always searching around for the old PLUG's and some pop up in the oddest places....forgotten on Google drives and owncloud uploads.......so I went to one of the more advanced JWM+Rox desktop combo's with a Void Linux base. This example was called a WeeDog-Void and is the beginnings of gathering the know-how that the current generation of PLUG's are using.
This one crudely sets up the JWM+Rox desktop with the system configuration files created in the PLUG. Now I just make a xbps package that installs different utilities and set up the configurations that are all installed with the package manager. This is an efficient way to simplify a PLUG build file.

This plug example doesn't include the much improved basic configurations we use these days. Here wiakwifi and wd_mount were fundamental utilities and established a network connection to further build with xbps. The current PLUG's are much better at setting up the base systems and customizing as the WeeDogLinux versions are. Though some of the minimal system builds from a Void Linux base are very lean and truly minimal console only with midnight Commander as the "desktop" and the xbps package manager. Network all handled by wiakwifi and partitions with wd_mount

Somewhere I have a good plug that is a really minimum FirstRib/KLV that has a default set up of Xorg and JWM that is a total blank canvas.
I could piece one together.......

Attached is a compressed file of PLUG files I began to collect and convert to work with newer build script versions but are the old WeeDog builds and beginning of what would become KLV-Airedale and KLV-Spectr

[rockedge]

@wiak Wow! I've been searching for this exact post ->https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtop ... 4#p1032654

I remembered that there was success launching a Puppy rootfs and since I am again experimenting with this concept at the present and I wanted to see again what you did to get one going! Right now for proof of concept and that Puppy is heading towards overlayfs more and more I've been thinking about how advantageous it will be swapping the adrv, bdrv, fdrv, zdrv mechanism for the 00-99 layers functions with the magic skeleton initrd. Using system components compressed as squash files or not.

So revisiting the Kennel Linux Puppy (KLP) possibilities with fresh eyes to test the potentials........... For now just trying to get a puppy rootfs to boot to a working desktop.

How sensible is the idea of building a KLP via PLUG using pkg-cli and busybox to self build a system from .deb and .pet packages...........?

[rockedge]

@wiak This plug from 2021 is a nifty smallish system running JWM+ Rox with kernel. Also sock-log is optional and to further trim the rootfs the install command for it can be removed.

The current generation of PLUG's are more advanced in the details installed during the system builds than the example below.

I ran this plug a lot with the install commands for the kernel packages taken out. And then supplied the kernel either as an extracted Void or huge Puppy

Though in the past I and others have managed to build using xorg-minimal (rather than xorg meta-package, which brings in a lot more dependencies) I think we all found that whilst xorg-minimal build worked fine in chroot (with Xnest and so on) it failed when booted by FR initrd (other packages missing).

Well, I've been working on that issue since I think it is a good time to release a really simple X-based JWM Void Linux build since a single KL_mini type build script using simplest xorg-minimal f_ plug is, I feel, a good introduction to FR-based Kennel Linux builds using Void Linux xbps package manager.

I think I have that xorg-minimal issue cracked now, and the result is much smaller (though no doubt limited).

I will post the build script shortly under KL_mini section. The JWM ~/.jwmrc is the default provided by Void Linux so needs fixed up (well not quite the default since I am using very small simplistic X-terminal called 'st' and that's the only part of .jwmrc I've fixed to use...). The resulting 07firstrib_rootfs is only 362MiB UNCOMPRESSED, but yes, nothing in it except Xorg, that terminal st, and mc as a console-based filemanager (and mcedit for console-based text editing).

Will just do final build test now, before screenshot, and publishing the build script...

I may later make something even smaller (that doesn't include PAM/shadow). However, to be honest, I consider that non PAM-using distro pretty useless other than for a demo of smaller size.
