[Beta testing needed] Auto SD partitioner and rootfs installer.

[Askarus]

I've tried out your version 0.2.


Unfortunately I can't download the rootfs.


When selecting the folder I can neither choose the SD-card I which was formatted before nor my USB-device.


Here's the errormessage:


"Could not mount "name of device"


Failed to execute child process "gnomemount" (No such file or directory)"


The USB-stick has also a Swap-file on it? Might this be the problem?


The brand is "Patriot". It should be good.


There are 1.5 GB left on the other SD-card.


This one can be mounted.


Should I download to this card or does unpackaging from one card to an other take too long?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

You should be able to browse via "filesystem", then looking inside the /media folder. This is a zenity or Xfce bug i think.


Nope, the usb swap is ok.

 

[Askarus]

Forget it.


I rebooted my Pandora and it's fine now.


Here's a little suggestion:


Could you add the possibility to make a 256 MB or 512 MB Swap file?


I would like to have a bigger one.


Edit:


I'm downloading the stable 13.37 version at the moment.


I'll be back in about 2.30 hours.


Why the heck didn't I take my USB to Ethernet with me .

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Interesting option.


Should be doable :^).

 

[Askarus]

WTF.


My downloading screen disappeared!!


Is that normal?


When selecting the file on my USB I can watch it growing but there's no download screen.


*panic*


Edit:


When checking the "connection information" on my toolbar icon there's also some sort of download activity shown.


SL4P still continues growing.


I won't interrupt it as long as the file continues growing.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Yup i also noticed it.

Here's the eror message:

I hope this will help you.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Ok i know why.


Gimme 2 sec.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Ok, fixed, relaunch all, the dl should be resumed.

 

[Askarus]

Started downlaoding again.

 

[Askarus]

Download screen disappeared after about 370 MB.


The data stil grows. It's about 632 MB now.


Half the way is done.#


Edit:


Download has finished now.


Installation has started.


How long will it take?

 

[Askarus]

I now installed it with your installation assistent.


What do I have to do now?


After rebooting still the original kernel starts.


The Pandora doesn't even detect the SD-card.


It's not shown on the desktop.


I can't "boot from SD1" when holding R during booting.


The mmcblk0p1 doesn't exist.


When using G-parted that's the result:


Unallocated 4 MiB


Unknown 29 GiB


Linux-Swap 255 Mib


Unallocated 431 MiB

Is there a problem with the installer?


My card is a 32 GB SD-card.


It's usable space is about 30 GB.


When I eas asked about the size of my card I typed 32 GB.


Was this wrong because it's effective size is only 30 GB and I had to tread it as a 16 GB card instead?


I hope you can fix this problem.


There seems to be a problem with your formatting of the SD.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I really don't know :/.


The Unknown 29 GiB is weird. Will investigate.


One user reported it may be needed to power off the unit if the install took place on the slot 1.

 

[Askarus]

Would you please give me the command to uncompress the rootfs onto my SD-card.


SD is in slot 1.


Rootfs is in USB (name Patriot)- SL4P (name of folder)


I'll reformat the card then and try it manually.


Does it matter if I make a bigger swap file?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Swap size is not a problem. Just don't do more than 2G (the limit).


http://pandorawiki.org/Software_projects/OS/Slackware#Installation


Should be:


sudo tar jxvfp /media/Patriot/SL4P/SL4P-[version]-[build].tar.bz2 -C /media/SLACK/ --numeric-owner

 

[Askarus]

I formatted the card as you did.


Some space at the beginning and some at the end.


Swap follows OS.


Uncompressing is running.


Sorry to ask you again but I was smart enough not to make a copy of the "autoboot.txt". :unsure:


Would you please give it to me (or the text inside it).

 

[Linux-SWAT]

It's included in the rootfs.

 

[Askarus]

Great.


I hope it works this time.


Still unpackaging.


I'll give report as soon as I've finished.


We'll see then if it's n issie with my card.

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Posted on the wrong thread :^).

For those who want to test Xfce-4.10 under -current, i made a package:
http://slackware.ope...tal%2Fxfce-4.10


Before installing it, be sure to quit Xfce, then su- :


removepkg /var/log/packages/xfce*

 

[Askarus]

Some question:


Is there a real flash player on Slackware or do I have to continue using Firefox.
