How to get it. [README FIRST] and discussion

[francois]

Whether in always fresh or changes= mode I get:

echo $BOOTDEV:
/mnt/sda1

ls /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants
ls: cannot access ... : No such file or directory

ls /mnt/sda1/64bit_v31_nemesis
boot changes porteus

[brokenman]

Something wrong.
ls /mnt/sda1/64bit_v31_nemesis should show:
boot config EFI porteus USB_INSTALLATION.txt

Also /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants should contain some links such as: systemd-networkd.service and machines.target
Did you use the build script and then generate an ISO?

EDIT:
I will need to make a change to have some scripts working from a subfolder. Thanks for catching that early.
Francois I've updated the scripts for installation to a subfolder. I will write a quick howto for git now.

[ncmprhnsbl]

I will probably have to write a wrapper for yaourt to do the same.

yaourt is one way and stifiling has makexzm that does this...
these wrappers main function is to search AUR,download snapshot and makepkg does the rest:

Follow the prompts and create the ISO at the end or via the script in git/x86_64/iso/porteus/make_iso.sh

and find your iso file here /tmp/nemesis-v3.1-x86_64.iso

Guys i run Nemesis in text mode

but how to test it?

[francois]

Hello blaze:
Now use pman:

Code: Select all

setup-pman

Then install xorg with pman:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg
Then install xfce4 and xfce4 goodies:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce
To start xfce4:

Code: Select all

startxfc34

Install other packages thru pman or pacman, if you want them module converted or not. Install webbrower and see if video and sounds works fine.

pman stores modules of packages into /tmp. Move these modules into the /porteus/modules (nemesis instead of porteus) folder to have them at next reboot. The poweroff.

Brokenman:
viewtopic.php?f=137&t=5066
I am interested in 001-core.xzm right now. Any improvements or additions that you think would be good. I plan on implementing a firstrun wizard where users can choose keyboard layout, locales etc.
The current scripts are in /usr/local

Brokenman will come with specific requests. But he will need some translators for the different languages.

[brokenman]

That should be: setup-pman

From there you can use:
pman -Si packagename (gets info on packagename)
pman -S packagename (installs packagename)

[francois]

Corrected.

Good news:
Nemesis iso works under msi 340x:

Hi francois.
Thanks for info, but i can't run internet

Code: Select all

root@porteus:~# cat /root/nemesis/git/x86_64/iso/config/network
### Network config file.
### Options listed here will be parsed at boot.
### Options must be listed one per line without space before them.

### This option means the file will be ignored at boot.
#Ignore=yes

### This option sets a wired or wireless network card. It is used to

#Device=wired

### This option is the name of your network device. Please boot into
### the command line and issue: ip link
### This will show you the name of your network card. The wires card
### most probably starts with an 'e'. The wireless card probably starts
### with a 'w'.
#DeviceName=enp0s3

### Choose if you want DHCP to automatically receive an ip address
### from a DHCP server on the network. Home routers usually supply this.
### If this option is chosen then all following options will be ignored.

My router is uses DHCP connection

CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET:
1.0

Code: Select all

systemctl start dhcpcd

OR
2.0 If it does not work use dhcpcd <link> :
The case of a wired connection: on my computer.
root@nemesis:/mnt/sda5/34bit_v31/porteus# ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

root@nemesis:/mnt/sda5/34bit_v31/porteus#
root@nemesis:~# dhcpcd epn3s0
AND
3.0 and to have dhcpcd enp3s0 at bootup automatically, using systemd to have the connection at bootup automatically (given that you are in persistence mode, i.e. changes= ):
From the above example:
root@nemesis:~# systemctl start dhcpcd@epn3s0.service

or edit the file in iso/config/network and add your network preferences.

SYNCHRONIZING THE ARCH LINUX DATABASE:
PMAN (pman or pacman module wrapper):

Code: Select all

setup-pman

[brokenman]

Also looks like an older version by the console output (archilles). Update from latest git. Also uncomment Device=wired

Done

francois, thanks.
Now i have trouble with Xorg

[francois]

@blaze:
For one reason or another if you use pman to build the modules for xorg, it will not work properly at reboot. Brokenman is not there yet.

I will start a thread to install xorg and xfce. But for now the modules provided by pman are not enough. You will need to use persistence mode (changes=). This will permit those who want to play with pacman and nemesis and familiarize themselves with the package manager and documentation.

Thanks.

[brokenman]

Yes. I recommend making a copy of the git tree if you want to make any local changes. Keep the original git tree clean so you can pull the latest updates. Tonight I will make a few changes that remove some directories in order to update from /usr/share/porteus to /usar/share/nemesis

[francois]

So I don't know git much. Is the conclusion that:

Code: Select all

git reset --hard

is the way to go?

Then simply:

Code: Select all

pull git

Edited this sunday after brokenman answer.
