The use/x11/nvidia/optimus target will pull the bits required
to operate NVIDIA Optimus GPU scheme which relies on integrated
GPU to actually drive the screen; much thanks to barssc@ for
good walkthrough: http://altlinux.org/optimus
NB: this *will* break if nouveau gets in, YHBW.
This might belong to test.mk actually but it's been instrumental
in getting bumblebee support operational within these LiveCDs;
icewm and sysvinit are a commonplace among those currently
but aren't set in stone for that matter.
"messagebus" service is autostarted since dbus gets in being required
by wpa_supplicant <- alterator-net-wifi <- alterator-net-eth; it is
really not needed in the minimalistic server, let's just turn it off.
"lvm2-lvmetad" service requires setup to be actually useful (#29474).
This is long overdue: services feature influences live
and rescue but doesn't do anything to the installed system
as that's behind the installation barrier; some piggybacking
required to do that has been merged into installer back in
2012 apparently (thanks to boyarsh@ for both doing that and
bringing my attention to this fact; it's 65-setup-services.sh
as of today).
So the only thing missing has been the bridge to prepare
those files -- still some more tweakery is required given the
two-stage process arranged so that reusable configuration could
include some sane defaults but the release manager is ultimately
able to override anything without extra kludges; thank legion@
for his wonderful libshell either.
NB: install2 script is a partial clone of rootfs one since
processing the variables is identical; still rootfs script
has to change service state directly while install2 one
has to deposit the information for installer to handle.
use/live/textinstall target is a base for those images whose
target audience tends to be somewhat more experienced; these
might prefer to just boot off the image instead of having to
perform any extra action like pressing down arrow and enter.
This is also to help msp@'s homeros-*.iso boot immediately.
Actually a copy of 10localboot.cfg with a different name
and sorting order so as to address #26608: there's no possibility
to make a LiveCD image that would boot itself by default if localboot
has been configured in.
It's only a partial solution as it doesn't override 10localboot
in case it's there already but a step in that direction...
A hint regarding livecd-net-eth is due -- as well as
review and cleanup of live, net, net-eth features
involved in configuring that ethernet for a LiveCD.
This is not strictly required but is basically requisite for some
operations with both packages (did you know about rpm2cpio.sh?)
and initramfs images (which are gzipped cpio archives).
So let's put it in.
It's hardwired at 1/10 of the default /etc/net value
since 3 seconds are enough for properly functioning
DHCP servers in properly maintained networks (those
improper ones tend to have problems with 30 seconds
anyways), and waiting for too long makes users feel
bad for a reason.
Thanks msp@ for bringing attention to this.
This package has replaced installer-feature-setup-network-stage3
without declaring that; it appears that installer-distro-altlinux-*
don't require it even if most of the others do.
This is to ensure it's included, at least at the moment.
The initial revision was brilliantly buggy: it is *so* apparent
that cdrom will never be actually used for rw slice that this
has evaded my attention rather completely.
This change tries to force loading the storage driver
for cases when SecureBoot is "helping" the chainloader
to fail, see #29705 for details collected so far.
Of course ahci.ko only does AHCI but that's every storage
controller I've seen on UEFI/SecureBoot systems so far.
Let's put osec tools into installable packages at least
(aiming to shift these into default install probably);
these are worthwile addition to sysadmin's toolbox.
Thanks dobr@ for bringing this up.
It turns out that regular-rescue.iso lacks sshfs,
which is unfortunate (even if it could be installed
with apt in this particular case); three more FUSE
based filesystems have been added just in case.
Thanks mithraen@ for suggesting davfs2.
I'm fed up with graphical software occasionally making it
into regular-rescue.iso and bloating it for no good reason
given that window managers or xinitrc aren't included.
This has been spotted and solved manually several times already,
and that's just boring so let's add the ability to state that
X11-based software is not accepted into a particular rescue image.
Not that I would hate X but things like that belong to a carefully
crafted image which includes either X server or reasonable means
to ensure that GUI software can actually be used.
NB: this is a somewhat new entity: test/rescue/no-x11 knob
for an image-script intended to make it blow up the build
when libX11 is found within the chroot that makes up
the rescue image's filesystem.
The interface is not documented intentionally: it will take
some time to find out whether it sticks or is bad enough.
Please do remind/ask if interested in using that.
Seeing tagged/base+rescue~ in build.log isn't particularly
heart-warming; while other editors but the one leaving tilda
marked backups and .sw* swap files might exist let's do this
step at this time.
Wonder what changed though, this used not to happen before.
Dank Bagryantsev asked if it could be added to available packages
at least; well it is there now but not in default install
as aptitude is currently unsupported.
I don't think we're gonna like plymouth over rescue image
anytime soon, especially when it hides the moment when shell
pops up somewhere under it without startup-rescue caring to
remove the splash.
So let's put that $(INSTALL2_BRANDING) into proper stage2
flavours only and avoid choking on missing plymouth as well.
led@ has different kernel-modules-* package set,
some of those "standard" names are provided but
vbox* is not the case.
As our macros and helpers will grok this just fine,
let's add both variants so what's present gets in.
This kernel can help save almost 50 megabytes of image size
and shave off several megs of RAM consumption as well which
is important after the installation has been through.
Adding rescue image was requested by Speccyfighter (in Russian):
http://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/community/2013-December/681045.html
...and it seems hard but doable if one doesn't mind barebone rescue;
still efi-shell shouldn't spoil x86_64 build as that one won't fit CD-R
and doesn't have to anyways.
In these tough times there are no extra resources to waste
for wars or some extra rescue; so it is imperative to provide
some lean and mean help, you know.
IOW a common base has been split out and a more tight rescue
image configuration has been added on top of that so as to
try and fit altlinux-p7-sysv-tde.iso for i586 into CD-R.
Argh, so alterator-auth was hiding under a name it provides too
-- now *that* is the cause for those last-step failures as the
rest of the environment hasn't been getting set up apparently.
Just drop it, there's a proper domain-client pkglist for that.
This is what 63293ff22a should
have done too.
