Also, sorry for sounding impatient, but I was wondering if 2.20 will be out today as planned? |
I'm solving a some problems with fbsplash that don't want to load at boot. After that, 2.20 is ready, I'm not able to enable antialias on kde fonts but I've seen that it's usable anyway.
Please wait again

For the impatients: I'm finishing amd64 porting, all packages are recompiled now with amd64, now I have to test for some missing package and then start to hack catalyst and genkernel.

Hi!
I have had problems booting from your livecd. The only version I have gotten to work is 1.4.2-stable. When booting with 2.10, at the "Filling filesystem" section, the screen fills with:
| Code: | | cp: Write Error: No space left on device |
Then you get prompted with (freezes whatever you type):
| Code: |
>> Booting...
INIT: version 2.85 booting
Enter runlevel:
|
Any idea what is causing this?
With 1.4.2-stable I am having problems with reiser4, I googled some and someone that have had the same problems;
http://www.mail-archive.com/reiserfs-list@namesys.com/msg16154.html.
The reiser4 patches on the minimal livecd's contains the bug.
I don't know what reiser4 patches your 2.6.9-lxnay1 kernel contain. Well, I can't boot it anyway 
Anyone know how I can solve this? I want to install gentoo with reiser4, but the emerge freezes, caused by that reiser4 bug
Thanks for any help! |

Minimal LiveCD is not developed anymore for now, maybe I'll make a newer version in the future containing some useful things.
The reason that Gentoo RR4 LiveCD doesn't boot is because you haven't enough ram (maybe less than 128). 128 Mb of RAM is the minimum for 1.3/2.x. The minimal livecd can boot with only 64Mb of ram.
Sorry about it, it's very hard for me to work on a lot of different versions

Caro lxnay (o chi in ascolto ) dopo quasi 5 mesi di perfetto funzionamento della mia partizione reiser4 stamattina accendendo il portatile (Sony Vaio TR1) mi segnala allo startup:
| Code: |
Mounted devfs on /dev
Freeing unused kernel memory:224k freed
reiser4[Khelper (726)] :cbk_level_lookup(fs/reiser4/search.c:1033) [vs-3533]:
WARNING: Keys are inconsistent.Fsck?
reiser4[Khelper (727)] :cbk_level_lookup(fs/reiser4/search.c:1033) [vs-3533]:
WARNING: Keys are inconsistent.Fsck?
reiser4[swapper(1)] :cbk_level_lookup(fs/reiser4/search.c:1033) [vs-3533]:
WARNING: Keys are inconsistent.Fsck?
Kernel panic - not syncing : No init found . Try passing init= option to kernel.
|
allorche ti scrivo il post utilizzando il tuo RR4 LiveCD: 2.0.Tento di entrare dopo aver montato le partizioni con i miei dati con chroot ma mi posta:
| Code: |
chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Input/output error
|
Cosa sta succedendo? 
Posso ripristinare il mio sistema senza dover riniziare tutto da capo perdendo molti dati a me cari?
Se puo essere d aiuto l-ultima opreazione che stavo facendo e quella di giocherellare con tomcat dopo averlo emerso. |

Sembrerebbe una bella corruzione del file system. Accendi un cero al tuo santo preferito e dacci dentro di fsck.

Male, malissimo. Come più volte detto da moltissime persone (me in primis, per esperienza personale) Reiser4 è ancora altamente instabile. Quindi se lo usi (in quanto mostruosamente veloce - o semplicemente perché fa geek  ) devi mettere in conto di poter perdere tutto quel che c'è sopra. Una buona idea sarebbe avere la root in Reiser4 (io non ci sono riuscito, mi andava allegramente in segfault /sbin/rc ), /home (ed eventualmente /var) in ReiserFS v3 o ext3 (entrambi FS a prova di bomba) e fare un backup di sistema almeno una volta al mese. Così se ti si scassa Reiser4 devi "soltanto" ripristinare il backup e ricompilare un po' di programmi.

Visto che oramai sono diventato un drogato di reiser4 e visto che devo riniziare tutto da capo qualcuno mi saprebbe illustrare su come creare la root su una partizione di tipo reiser4,è un tentativo!  |

uhmm... aspetta un attimo.... ma la partizione precedente cos'era?
Ti posso esporre i miei tentativi (falliti):
1)root Reiser4
risultato: /sbin/rc va in segfault. Su bugzilla.gentoo.org mi chiudono il bug report come invalido dicendo che Reiser4 non è supportato.
La stessa identica installazione (l'avevo creata in un chroot su un altro PC e poi copiata con NFS), messa su una Reiser3, funziona perfettamente.
2)root Reiser3 da un centinaio di mb; /usr /opt /tmp in Reiser4, installati come symlink, /home /var in Reiser3, sempre come symlink:
/usr --> /mnt/reiser4/usr
etc.
risultato: boota, ma tale configurazione non è testata né supportata a livello di distro in quanto c'è un bug (voluto?) nei symlink tale per cui
/bin/prog --> ../usr/bin/prog
non funziona e va ridefinito come
/bin/prog --> /usr/bin/prog
risultato: alcuni pacchetti non funzionano (tra cui pango, da cui dipendono gnome, XFce4 e mozilla), non so se per colpa di Reiser4 o dei symlink.
bug report: CLOSED INVALID, in quanto usavo Reiser4.
Ovviamente, nulla ti impedisce di provare. Magari a te va meglio.

Ho quattro partizioni:
la prima è dedicata a Win XP
la seconda di boot è reiserFS
la terza è di swap
la quarta è di reiser4
Avevo intenzione sin dall'inizio di mettere root su reiser4 e le altre con normali e testati file system (ext3 o reiseiFS).
Che te ne pare?
So di altri che hanno adottato questo sistema e funziona egregiamente,al dire il vero anche a me funzionava fino a ieri.
Se no ancora meglio tenere la root su reiserFS e creare a scopo si test una utenza su file system reiser4.Come se fa?
A proposito sapreste indicarmi una guida valida e aggiornata sui vari kernel specialmente i 2.6?
Quella di gentoo mi sembra un pò obsoleta |

Se vuoi un consiglio, metti la root in reiser4 e i dati (/home) in Reiser3 e fai un backup periodico della suddetta root. Installarla non è nulla di strano; semplicemnte devi usare il LiveCD di lxnay invece di quello di gentoo e formattare la root come reiser4. Tutto qui.Ovviamente anche il kernel dovrà avere il supporto Reiser4: AFAIK puoi scegliere tra mm-sources, nitro-sources e lxnay-sources. Non mi esprimo in proposito in quanto le ho testate troppo poco.

| Ok grazie ci proverò,oramai è diventata una questione di tigna,per quanto riguarda Reiser4 visto che il file system è garantito e certificato dagli stessi produttori penso che i suoi problemi non stanno nell'instabilità ma nell'integrazione con gli altri prodotti compresi i vari kernel,è da tempo che uso gli lxnay-sources ( base nitro-sources patchati ) è ad essere sinceri hanno molte più future rispetto ai tradizionali gentoo-sources che sicuramente sono più stabili. |

ok devo solo risolvere un problema di spazio (l'ultimo portage snapshot occupa 94mb e non so perché, stasera vedo) e poi ho la ISO pronta! 2.20 e lxnay-sources-2.6.10-r3. Vi assicuro che questo kernel rulla di brutto

Hey.
I have a question. Should I wait for your next version if I only want to use it to install a system from? |

If your hardware is being detected, it doesn't matter. |

Grazie, this is great stuff, lnxay.
I'll install the xdelta patch after I get this on my hd. How does an old noob get this to boot off a hard drive?

thank you all! It's your LiveCD, not mine! What do you want in the next version? I've planned some cool things, like video driver autoprobe (please post your "cat /proc/fb0/vbe_info" output for this, applications updates (some applications are quite old now), and a beautilul "?"
AMD64 release is a beautiful work in progess right now, I've finished to recompile the entire system, now I have to set up catalyst scripts. Unfortunately, reiser4 won't be available in amd64 version, because it's not yet available for this platform.

There's an issue with Firefox in 2.20. It would seem that there's something wrong with the Firefox launcher. Every time I try to launch it, I get this:
| Code: | /usr/bin/firefox: line 88: 11281 Illegal instruction $mozbin "$@"
|
Great work, though! |

mumble... what's your CPU? I'm investigating now...
UPDATE: I confirm this bug, maybe the cause is mozilla-launcher 1.22, i'm updating it to 1.23 and rebuilding the ISO. If it's the case, expect a 2.21 release very very soon. Firefox is quite essential IMHO.

lxnay, thenk you for your job, 2.20 is GREAT LIVECD!
i would like to see in 2.30:
- dxr3 support based on latest cvs ( dxr3.sf.net )
- upgrade kadu to latest cvs ( 0.3.9 is quite old... www.kadu.net )
- add amarok to 1.2beta3 ( amarok rox! :)amarok.kde.org )
- ivtv driver would be cool ( ivtv.sf.net )
- maybe nvidia drivers in livecd? ( this would be really cool www.nvidia.com )
i know that some of these are not posibile right now ( or maybe im wrong? ) but it would be bool to see those in livecd!
