Complete system update/upgrade and outfitted with a Void Linux kernel 6.1.15_1 on 03/09/2023
The
initrd.gz
and w_init
are upgraded to version 7.0.1-rc1 which are constructed from the latest FirstRib skeleton-initrd.Added the symlink
gtk2dialog
that targets the binary gtkdialog-8.5
which is compiled against GTK2 which gives access to either gtk2 or gtk3.@fredx181 has repaired a bug in
save2flash
and modified swapper.sh
to adapt for the /mnt/home device showing directly in Thunar and on the desktop. swapper.sh
activates any swap partitions available to KLV-Airedale during system start.From a suggestion by @wiak added in a modification to w_init that will display icons for
/mnt/home
partition in Thunar
and on the desktop.New and improved tuning of the
/boot
directory boot stanza's. improving the reliability of booting in QEMU, Ventoy and S2SG.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 again done more work improving the boot system menus and further improvement to the initrd.gz boot mechanisms :
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.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...
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!
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
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
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.
