Porteus v1.0 x86_64 bug??

[Tonio]

Dear all,

I have a quad core with 8GB of ram. I start Porteus with copy2ram and I get cp errors
I then try regular boot and I get:

Live system is ready now – starting Porteus
cp: read error: Input/output error
!!ERROR!!
Couln't copy '/sbin/init' file – you need at least 600KB free space inside initrd!!
#

I check md5sum and it matches

[olivares@tricorehome ~/Downloads]$ md
md5 mdatopbm mdconfig mdmfs
[olivares@tricorehome ~/Downloads]$ md5 Porteus-v1.0-i486.iso
MD5 (Porteus-v1.0-i486.iso) = 9d34ab3b286bc9a770688fc56df805d4

I burned cd at speed 4 and I see this. Will check with another computer or burn another cd and see if I get same thing?

[Ahau]

Yes, please try burning another copy and if that fails, please try another PC as a check. Looks like you're getting almost all the way through linuxrc -- you could use the 'debug' cheatcode and pull some logs just before linuxrc completes -- see the 'debugging early boot failures' doc in the installation section of the docs on the main site.

[Tonio]

@Ahau,

I mounted cd which was burned and I see that one can check the base. But the check base script is for linux only not other unices
So I did the next best thing run it manually :

I am on FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 if it matters

Process hangs here so something did go bad I will definitely do a reburn.

@all

I was burning to a CD-RW and somehow the burn was not fully successfull , I retried and ran checkbase script in new cd and I would get problems with *-devel module, and firefox+flash.xzm ones , and when I would type startx I would get a lib???.so missing. To make a long story short, I got new CDRs and I burned new copy. Everything(crosses fingers) is working beautifully . Sorry for false alarm.

Regards,

Antonio

BTW
oggenc, ogg123 are present in final x86_64 , thank you very much fanthom. The devel thread http://porteus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=588#p4546
can add a solved there. Awesome job!

EDIT:
thought victory was in hand, oggenc and ogg123 are present, but

bash-4.1$ ogg123 01.-\ Dos\ Coronas\ A\ Mi\ Madre.ogg
ogg123: error while loading shared libraries: libao.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But I can play the file with mplayer so all is well it should not matter that much, but just a libao.so.???

hi Tonio,

i have found this missing dep after releasing 1.0
anyway - libao requires esound and i dont want to pull esound just for libao.

for next release i'll have to add libao recompiled without esound support or drop vorbis-tools completely...

Don't worry! I can play them with mplayer. I was just testing the functionality of ogg123 to see if it would work I should not have done that! I am thrilled to get this working as it is I am very happy about new Poretus

It is necessary to change the mode of /dev/shm by:
su - chmod 1777 /dev/shm
if want to run google-chrome-14 in the guest role

[fanthom]

@cchuang
ok - will add it to rc.M in next release.
Thanks for suggestion.

Hi fanthom,
Thank you for the V1.0 release of Porteus. I have booted it the first try and ran for 5 days without problem. Note: I'm running copytoram mode.

Subsequent boot is not so successful as I met an error and the xzm module mime type is not associated after I ran my script to activate some modules.

Now it is back and running again.

One question : Can we do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to reset the X-Windows?
When I do this step, it goes back into text mode and I need to manually to telinit command to come back to X.

Thank you to fanthom and team, who has contributed to this release!!! Wonderful job done here.

"Subsequent boot is not so successful as I met an error and the xzm module mime type is not associated after I ran my script to activate some modules."
i have never had any troubles with xzm mimetypes - pls make sure that your modules are not overriding /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml file (lzm/xzm associations are kept over there)

"One question : Can we do Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to reset the X-Windows?

added to my TODO list for Porteus 1.1

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi fanthom

I have mounted my NTFS partition with readonly option:-
mount /dev/sda5 -o ro;

But I get read/write enabled:-
/dev/sda5 on /mnt/sda5 type fuseblk (rw,allow_other,blksize=4096)

I am not sure this is a bug but I think V1.0 RC2/RC3 is working fine.

hi cttan,

just tried and works here:
http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8560/snapshot2sn.jpg

i have issued 2 commands:

Code: Select all

umount /mnt/sda11
mount /dev/sda11 /mnt/sda11 -o ro

i think you are using LST and there is a bug in /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g script. If yes, then pls edit /sbin/mount.ntfs-3g like here:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
# File generated by fanthom's Language-Selection tool
/bin/ntfs-3g $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 -o locale=your_locale

just replace "your_locale" with your country code.

Let me know if that works for you.

[cttan]

@fanthom,
Thanks for prompt reply. I have tested your solution and it works! Thank you!

I have also amended the /sbin/mount.vfat and it works as well.
