I repacked and apply patch from biotec - thanks for the patch.
Can anybody test initrd.xz with biotec fix?
It works with my system also. But booting is not faster.

For me did not change the restart time, 14s with large rootcopy folder.
I use i5-3320M 8GB ssd ext2. LXDE module.

Same for me, maia.

Kernel module missing (/disabled)

CONFIG_LOGIRUMBLEPAD2_FF (hid-lg2ff.c) !!

Logitech Rumblepad2 (046D:C218 hidraw) doesn't work without them

Buurman, seems need to enable this bunch of options:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_INPUT=y
CONFIG_USB=y
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
CONFIG_USB_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_USB_COMMON=y
CONFIG_USB_ARCH_HAS_HCD=y
CONFIG_HID=y
CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH=y
CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH_DJ=y
CONFIG_HIDRAW=y
CONFIG_LOGIG940_FF=y
CONFIG_LOGIWHEELS_FF=y

Kees Cook discovered another flaw in the Human Interface Device (HID) subsystem of the Linux kernel when any of CONFIG_LOGITECH_FF, CONFIG_LOGIG940_FF, or CONFIG_LOGIWHEELS_FF are enabled. A physcially proximate attacker can leverage this flaw to cause a denial of service vias a specially crafted device. (CVE-2013-2893)

except for:
CONFIG_LOGIG940_FF=y
CONFIG_LOGIWHEELS_FF=y
they are all enabled

CONFIG_LOGITECH_FF
-> CONFIG_LOGIRUMBLEPAD2_FF <-
especially the last two need to be enabledl

(weird that this hasn't been tackled after 2013 .. found a lot of people having problems with their rumblepad2 and no-one else found the logitech-ff and logirumblepad2_ff missing ?)

As I can see in kernel .config of neko

Code: Select all

cat /usr/src/linux/.config | grep -i logi
# CONFIG_SCSI_BUSLOGIC is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_QLOGIC_1280 is not set
# CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_QLOGIC is not set
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LOGIPS2PP=y
CONFIG_DRM_ANALOGIX_ANX78XX=m
CONFIG_HID_UCLOGIC=m
CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH=m
CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH_DJ=m
CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH_HIDPP=m
# CONFIG_LOGITECH_FF is not set
# CONFIG_LOGIRUMBLEPAD2_FF is not set
# CONFIG_LOGIG940_FF is not set
# CONFIG_LOGIWHEELS_FF is not set
# Amlogic SoC drivers
# end of Amlogic SoC drivers

As result I think you are need in these options only:

Code: Select all

CONFIG_LOGITECH_FF=y
CONFIG_LOGIRUMBLEPAD2_FF=y
# CONFIG_LOGIG940_FF is not set
# CONFIG_LOGIWHEELS_FF is not set

right?

If yes, you are need to do request for neko to this topic Porteus Kernel Builder (Пост neko #74507)

BTW, thanks for your report.

Hello,
I am trying to revive a machine of a friend. I created a live USB with Porteus 5 KDE very nice indeed. I was thinking to create a custom USB for me too, I like this, but I need certain programs indispensable for me and my friend.
1. Issues:
I was trying to install HPLIP from USM with no luck since yesterday I get the error:

Please wait 6 hours for the next database update. Could not find LIBS.TXT

By the way I updated USM and all its repositories, same problem and I have almost a day trying.
Same error for Skype and KeepNote
gscan2pdf: is not in any repos

These are programs I consider essential.
Thanks for the nice work.
By the way, How I miss Porteus ISO configurator, it was the best Idea to generate tailored ISOs on the fly.
Thanks and regards
joejac

See my reply to your original post. HPLIP, gscan2pdf, Skype, KeepNotes modules and an error: Could not find LIBS.TXT (Post by Ed_P #74599)

@nanZor, in order to fix the black screen issue, please try this module (put it inside porteus/base): https://www.mediafire.com/file/gbd3r5c5 ... 2.xzm/file

Let us know if it solves your problem

I have the same problem with both Mate and Cinnamon desktops, this .xzm fixes it. It doesn't happen with Xfce, and I haven't tried Kde.

Hi roadie, about black screen issue.
Can you try to boot Porteus with kernel 5.4-rc7?

[5.4-rc7]
"Basic & Option patches" patching was done.
32bit-BPLUS-kernel5.4-rc7-2.tar (88 M)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/7mtze00k0 ... -rc7-2.tar
md5sum: 3cb57306ee76053f8fd329ec37d4fc9e 32bit-BPLUS-kernel5.4-rc7-2.tar

64bit-BPLUS-kernel5.4-rc7-2.tar (93 M)

Thanks.

Hi Blaze,
Yes, this kernel works, it goes directly to the desktop in both Mate and Cinnamon.

Post#119 by **roadie** » 15 Nov 2019, 17:25

Another go with Mate desktop.

If using the cheatcode: "login=root", it will get to the desktop, but caja is in a loop initializing.

Code: Select all

Initializing caja-image converter extension
Initializing caja-open-terminal extension
Initializing caja-xattr-tags extension

Caja will loop indefintely, and the only way to stop it is issuing killall from another tty. The desktop is not fully loaded, icons are missing from panel and menu.

Problem #2

The touchpad doesn't work with the stock kernel, or the 5.4-rc7. It appears not to be recognized, nothing in dmesg, or other logs. From looking around, apparently the processor in this laptop is not enabled in the kernel config. It's an AMD A10-9620P. Machine is an Asus X510QA.
I believe it uses the elan driver, which is in /lib/modules.

Code: Select all

# CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD is not set

I'm in no way sure that enabling this in the kernel will fix this, it's also not a problem for me as I never use the touchpad........I just found out it doesn't work after using this machine for a week.

Hi Blaze,

Off topic as a 5.0 problem, but while kernel 5.4-r7 fixes the login problem, it doesn't have the wifi module, which is r8822be.

edit:
In 5.4-rc7, a new driver is used in place of r8822be. The new one is rtwpci.......I used neko's mkKernel tool to build modules and that driver works fine.

Code: Select all

01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device [10ec:b822]
	Subsystem: AzureWave Device [1a3b:2950]
	Kernel driver in use: rtw_pci
	Kernel modules: rtwpci
