I am trying a few builds of my own....

are you able to log on as user spot and get a desktop?

yes

QEMU virtual machine CPU 4 core 4 G RAM default graphics,

I see the system boot....all the way through launching the X server which it does...then I see black screen and a mouse cursor.

Not been able to get anything to happen. Shut down via AQEMU controls.

@rockedge
you need to complete all the missing elements :)I will set up hot keys for programs, it will be easier, by default they are all clumsily spelled out.I don’t see you have a semi-bar loaded, for me it loads one panel at the top of the other at the bottom I may have broken something along the way. no end of work yet.

Initially, it was required to simply run X, and only then I thought about setting everything up, but getting carried away, it was brought to the point that on the script.and I didn’t like the topics of the half-bar that are loaded, I will change them

yes :thumbup:

can you share the steps you take and the commands you use to do that?

[rockedge]

@Sofiya as an experiment I built one with both Bspwm and JWM+Rox.

For the first test to see if the rootfs is working, I modified the /root/.xinitrc to start rox with a pinboard and jwm

This does work and boots all the way to a usable desktop. From here now I will try to start bspwm after manually configuring it first using JWM+Rox.

I am looking forward to working and playing around in the bspwm window manager.

yes

Best/easiest approach to answering that would be if you were building from an f_plug file and you could post any version of it that illustrates the issue of it not being able to get a desktop as user spot. Overall it is usually more difficult to get some programs to work correctly as user root. Good thing about a f_plug is that anyone can quickly try it to see if same results.

Assuming no errors have occurred above,
firstrib_rootfs flavour void default amd64 is now ready.
If you wish, you can now use it via convenience script,
./mount_chrootXXX.sh and after such use, exit, and, IMPORTANT:
run ./umount_chrootXXX.sh to clean up temporary mounts.
Or, you can make it bootable via wiak's FirstRib initrd (initramfs)
after downloading that and suitable huge-kernel/00modules/01firmware
Alternativly, can use non-huge-style kernel and run command:
./FRmake_initrd.sh (use that scripts --help for details)
which auto-downloads FR initrd-latest.gz and remakes it correctly or
earlier technique of running command:
./build_wiak_initrdXXX.sh <distroname> [OPTIONS], and then
frugal install it by copying the resultant initrdXX, vmlinuz,
and firstrib_rootfs.sfs (or firstrib_rootfs directory) into
/mnt/bootpartition/bootdir and configuring grub to boot it.
NOTE WELL: firstrib_rootfs needs renamed NN<anything> For example:
08rootfs or 08rootfs.sfs (if squashed using mksquashfs utility),
or for a pseudo-full-install only: rename uncompressed firstrib_rootfs
as upper_changes and mkdir -p NNdummy (e.g. 08dummy)
More details on booting at end of build_firstrib_initrd script.
Refer to /mnt/sda2/void3/grub_config.txt for related booting information.

@williwaw from the output it looks like it finished successfully to that point. What does the command line look like?
mine looks like this:

Code: Select all

./build_firstrib_rootfs.sh void default amd64 f_00_Void_KLV_spectrwm_no-kernel.plug

Try mounting the firstrib_rootfs using the mount_chroot utilities to check if it can run in a chroot shell. There is probably steps I did after the first build that were manual installations, configurations and then remastered.

[williwaw]

# ./build_firstrib_rootfs.sh void default amd64 v3.plug

Does the plug file need to be executable?

Code: Select all

 /mnt/sda2/void3 # ./mount_chroot.sh /mnt/sda2/void3/firstrib_rootfs
chroot directory is firstrib_rootfs
mv: cannot stat 'firstrib_rootfs/etc/resolv.conf': No such file or directory
/ # 

There is probably steps I did after the first build that were manual installations, configurations and then remastered.

I presume you got a void-live logon prompt, then once logged in as spot, ran startx?

I believe sonia was reporting incompletion

When building, it was noticed sometimes some programs are not installed, although they were installed during the last build, I don’t know why this is connected, Used (Build_firstrib_rootfs / version="8.0.0"; revision="-rc9" ) i mean programs that come out of the box

I didnt know there was a more recent version, but thought I might try the most recent

[wiak]

# ./build_firstrib_rootfs.sh void default amd64 v3.plug

Does the plug file need to be executable?

Code: Select all

 /mnt/sda2/void3 # ./mount_chroot.sh /mnt/sda2/void3/firstrib_rootfs
chroot directory is firstrib_rootfs
mv: cannot stat 'firstrib_rootfs/etc/resolv.conf': No such file or directory
/ # 

I didnt know there was a more recent version, but thought I might try the most recent

The plug file does not need to be executable.

mount_chroot.sh (and all other helper utilities) should be stored in the buildfrom directory and run from there as root user, which you did, but I always use simple immediate relative path for its target root filesystem. For example:

./mount_chroot.sh firstrib_rootfs

And when finished doing whatever in the chroot, you enter exit command till out of it and must then run:

./umount_chroot.sh firstrib_rootfs

to clean up the bind mounts that were created for the chroot.

assuming target rootfs was named firstrib_rootfs

Newest build_firstrib_rootfs script only had tiny fix rockedge noticed for 32bit builds. No change for amd64 builds.

[wiak]

# ./build_firstrib_rootfs.sh void default amd64 v3.plug

But... you can't name plug file v3.plug. It's name has to start with characters f_

For example, could use: f_v3.plug

The build script looks for f_ at start and any file named like that gets auto-copied by the build script into firstrib_rootfs (to firstrib_rootfs/tmp) initial auto- created directory so it is found and used when chroot to firstrib_rootfs build occurs.

As your above build command stands, therefore, your build plug file isn't being seen or thus used.

[wiak]

Code: Select all

mv: cannot stat 'firstrib_rootfs/etc/resolv.conf': No such file or directory
/ # 

I'll check the mount_chroot.sh script, but I believe above is an irrelevant warning only. I could code the warning out, but not important to the process.

[Sofiya]

Well, I’m in a hurry to please my fans, I seem to be making progress and moving forward gradually. Setting up such things as half bars requires a lot of effort There is still a lot of work ahead

@williwaw
Ah, I think your are not using the latest mount_chroot.sh script. I already coded out that above warning about /etc/resolv.conf in progname="mount_chroot.sh"; version="3.0.1"; revision="-rc4" at line 37 of the script (I test for resolv.conf existing or not before attempting any mv):

Code: Select all

[ -e "${chroot_dir}"/etc/resolv.conf -o -L "${chroot_dir}"/etc/resolv.conf ] && mv "${chroot_dir}"/etc/resolv.conf "${chroot_dir}"/etc/resolv.confORIG

Build scripts haven't normally changed much since their creation in 2019, but some recent changes needed for Fedora Rawhide builds required some alterations most of which were related to resolv.conf processing. All that seems to have settled down now and most recent scripts all proving reliable now. Just remember plug names must begin with first two characters f_ (f then underscore) though; that's always been the requirement.

[Sofiya]

now I have a very responsible job ahead of me, I need to finish the plugin and not miss any scribble The result should be an amazing KLV-Bspwm distribution.

[wiak]

now I have a very responsible job ahead of me, I need to finish the plugin and not miss any scribble

Yes, that's why I use my cherrytree notepad constantly whilst I am 'scribbling' - even then I forget to once in a while and can't remember what manual tweaks I made whilst expermentally trying to get something to work the way I want: I keep trying to improve on my bad practices.

Of course, hacking via mount_chroot.sh is often quick and easy (or using pseudo full install mode), but there is that price to pay if you want to remember how to duplicate your successes... Some manual hacks are quite tricky to implement in script form, but well worth the effort long term.

[Sofiya]

But I can make it easier for myself by making it as a file ( 10bspwm_themes_klv64.sfs ) which will just load with assembly

[wiak]

We have a lot of pain ahead of us, once and if (probably) X fades away and Wayland completely takes over. Yes, there are some good Wayland-ready tiling managers available from most mainstream distro repos, but not so many stacking window managers other than big bloat GNOME or KDE. Certainly labwc the openbox-like wm (well, technically a 'compositor') is out there, but not yet an install from major repos, which is a nuisance. Weston is fine for embedded small systems, and a good learning experience, but let's hope XFCE team get round to completing their wayland-destination plans (based on weston I believe). However, still will be a lot of pain since so much that easily works for us now using X desktop, does not work using Wayland (and I'm ignoring Xwayland, which is a kind of fudge workaround of course).

[wiak]

But I can make it easier for myself by making it as a file ( 10bspwm_themes_klv64.sfs )

Yes, you can, and sometimes that is a good approach since scripting can take up more time than we can afford. Nevertheless, a script acts like a nice detailed howto make your 10bspwm_themes_klv64.sfs and thus teaches distro builders a lot about bspwm or whatever. Maybe cos I used to work in education I created FirstRib build system with 'students' of such building in mind - rather than a secret of some sort only I had discovered.

yes, these are the next pitfalls, but in order not to run aground, we need to look for workarounds

[wiak]

Despite so many long years Wayland has been 'around' only now its adoption becomes important and critical, but eventually all the dust will settle and the pain will go away and X will be a memory of the past I suppose (as sysVinit should be long ago!!! ).

Once upon a time I earned my income teaching sysVinit inside out with its multi-runlevels and telinit approach. Now I can hardly remember most of that or want to. Puppy Linux pseudo sysVinit approach is simplistic of course (pretty much one runlevel and one user) so nothing much to learn there.

yes what happens something goes away and only one thing remains unchanged this is my hobby I'm not a super duper programmer, I just like to do it)

[Sofiya]

To be honest, at some point I almost gave up and did not abandon this idea with Bspwm, but interest took over
even console output works with save/don't save

[wiak]

Just a quick glance at your first post f_ plug file...

Where do you actually add the users such as user spot? You shouldn't normally need a command like chown -R spot:spot /home/spot
The correct /home/spot permission would be auto-generated on creating the user via the likes of:

Code: Select all

useradd -m -s /bin/bash -G wheel,audio,video,pulse-access spot
printf "spot\nspot\n" | passwd >/dev/null 2>&1 # Quietly set default spot passwd to "spot"

I normally create users like spot near the end of the f_plugin since PAM and pwconv, grpconv and so on usually all ready and done by that time.

[williwaw]

@wiak

Ah, I think your are not using the latest mount_chroot.sh script. I already coded out that above warning about /etc/resolv.conf in progname="mount_chroot.sh"; version="3.0.1"; revision="-rc4"

must have been an old copy I found on rockedges repo. I dont really understand much about chroots but tried to respond to his questions the best I could

new build running now... more than a few cups of coffee wait here, thanks for the tips
noted.
EDIT:
I saw your most recent post and aborted that build. I am working with rocksedge sample plug (with a few mods) from viewtopic.php?p=96885#p96885

yours is a good point about getting the cart in front of the horse, I need to go back and look over the plug for some other commands that left me wondering how files that needed actions also needed to be created before the commands were run
