VSIDO Build 2017

[VastOne]

Added network-manager and firefox-esr to the next levels.. increased each ISO 50 MiB which is not that bad.. both will come in at 375 mark now...

Building them and will upload them as soon as they are done

[VastOne]

Edit - I removed wicd and re-installed NetworkManager and nm-applet to see if they fail.

What is the exact name or repo location of nm-applet?

Was just about to upload and saw this now I need to redo them..

[PackRat]

network-manager-gnome

lot of packages there - most come in with NetworkManager anyway.

I'll have to do a comparrison with Void. I read a while back that the devs wanted to divorce NetworkManager from gnome and make it stand alone so there would not be as many dependencies as gnome3 progressed with Wayland. Don't know how far they got.

The install in Void did not add that much - Void's package manager/packaging only uses hard dependencies to remain minimal. They over do it a bit sometimes - case in point, Xorg is not a hard dependency for fluxbox  . They and some other minimal rolling releases may have trimmed too much which is causing the breakage.

I like ceni..

Will see what hakerdefo has to say about the applet side of it.. It will not add too much more to the ISO but I do not want to put anything on that is gnome specific and / or obsolete

[PackRat]

It's not obsolete (maybe just the name).

It is like wicd-gtk; if you do a lot of roaming it's handy to have it sitting in the tray. Better than wicd in some critical ways - hackerdefo pointed those out when he requested it replace wicd. Bit higher in resource usage, but not really a deal breaker.

I like ceni..

so do I; if you're on a desktop, or do very little roaming it's the way to go. Never understood why it's not in Debian's official repos.

[VastOne]

I'll add the manager .. it is really tiny in what it adds ...

You know or have the specific Fluxbox startup command needed to get this going?  I have not used this in years and do not know

Latest test ISO's are uploading



2 Minute 47 Seconds to install.. not bad, not bad at all

nm-applet &

I usually run it last (after tint2 anyway) with a sleep

Code Select Expand

(sleep 2s && nm-applet) &

As I recall, that was because the icon failed to show, or it was too big; making sure the tint2 system tray was running first fixed it.

Did you drop lvm2 from the default install? I don't see it on your list posted earlier.

No big deal, but doesn't the installer ask if the user wants to set up lvm?

[VastOne]

^ added now.. and please use the attached file to look through for anything else missuing

I had already added the sleep sections but will move it to last on the startup

Thanks Rat-Man

Perfect example of where I can use the new hakerdefo vchroot script to install lvm2 to the two build environments without booting to either one of them

[VastOne]

I moved the ongoing installed list and progress / status to the first message of this thread to make it easier to edit, share and find

@PackRat

On installing lvm2 I noticed this requirement:

Code Select Expand

service mountdevsubfs has to be enabled to start service lvm2

Is there another need or package for lvm2? Or does this happen on a restart?
