Both Xfce-based images have been falling back to
a completely wrong Monospace font alias implementation
at least for ASCII part which resulted in hard to read
Serif font in Terminal (even if e.g. Cyrillics are OK);
adding Liberation seems to work around this.
Too bad this commit didn't hit the recent starterkits.
/etc/sudoers is persistent with regard to userdel(8)
so removing a LiveCD user isn't going to drop this kind
of the added privilege and might result in an unintended
grant of those by adding a user with the same name after
permanent LiveCD installation.
This has been spotted by Speccyfighter:
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/31071
This one is alike to install2's one; it's not a shared rootfs
script/variable though as contexts differ a lot, let's be careful.
The commit has been missing from 1.1.64 somehow, found in patch
series while figuring out why LIVE_CLEANUP_KDRIVERS seems to be
just ignored in live-privacy *after* the massive rebase of that
branch...
This one has formed off the recent addition to regular-rescue.iso,
namely the feature starting network and sshd upon generating some
random password and setting it as the root one for the (remotely
started) livecd session so that a person operating an IP-KVM/iKVM
would be able to boot off the ISO file via virtual media and then
look up an IP obtained via DHCP and the root password.
There's a convention that syslinux configuration snippets
carrying the names of subprofiles involved are picked up
automatically; there were a few special cases already
when this is actually inconvenient, and there's another
one at hand so let's just step up and do it.
NB: this is a sort of a hacky hook though, wish an elegant
interface would come to mind some day.
The added initscript used to be purged by 98-init-rescue
which has been somewhat overlooked during vain attempts
to build an image that would actually run it!
The goal of implementing rescue_remote was regular-rescue.iso
indeed; so let's both add it and bump the default boot timeout
to 600 deciseconds, that is, a minute: 20 seconds might be way
too low for some slow IP-KVM/iKVM use cases.
This one provides cmdline arguments for startup-rescue >= 0.24
which would bring up networking and sshd in its turn thus allowing
remote access to the host booted in this mode.
The feature has been asked for by many people including mithraen@
and valintinr@ (and I'd make use of it another day too).
See the appropriate startup-rescue commit description for notes
on implementation; this default set of variable values should be
both useful and illustrative though.
These packages have been proposed by valintinr@:
- stress is included in SRCD and was found useful;
- winusb is handy when dealing with legacy OS media.
A recent commit has dropped wireless support from
regular server images; staging modules might still
come handy in some situations, let's keep those in
but not as a part of default installation.
Yet another age old bug: `sfdisk -l' is mimicking what
a person does by hand but the script is rather interested
in what `sfdisk -g' provides, that is, geometry.
And it's stupid enough to only grok C locale.
It's all started with glebfm@ wondering why
kernel-modules-v4l-std-def ends up installed
with altlinux-p7-server-ovz.iso; this has been
tossed in by kernel-modules-staging-std-def
which has been requested by +wireless.
WiFi support is nice to have handy when one hits
a wifi-only device and no means to bring networking
up (the infamous "unzip.zip" situation) but it's
a bit too much to force a bunch of extra drivers
specifically known for sub-par or unknown quality
onto everyone installing an ALT Linux based server.
So let's contain that feature to desktop/rescue images
and exclude it from their common base with server ones.
It's been added to al of tde-based images
but it looks like LiveCDs make more sense,
and it's the regular-tde.iso that hits both
regular builds and starterkits; let's put it
there and hope it gets spotted appropriately.
It pulls in a huge pile of dependencies including
libopenblas -- this should be fixed in repositories
of course but let's do something on our end too...
It's been both somewhat problematic as of plymouth-0.9.x
due to broken rendering and explicitly asked for by asy@
regarding sysv-tde starterkit which makes sense for an
image targeting low-resource systems as well.
It's been noted by aris@ that the experimental
regular-leechcraft.iso lacks both upower and bluez;
let's try and add those missing to all of regular
desktop images.
This is our answer to this VZstats FAQ entry:
Q: Why is it opt-out rather than opt-in?
A: We just don't have a good place
(such as installer or some GUI)
to ask you for opt-in.
Well ALT Linux got one. :)
The new archdep part has been initially included into
"The Basics" chapter which it doesn't really belong to,
let's move it into Addendum.
NB: I'd better try building a package and skimming over
at least the index upon having modified docs next time.
This is an initial implementation of architecture dependent
contents handling for package lists more or less in the vein
of mkimage-profiles-desktop's one *but* using suffix part to
filter words in or out *not* prefix part to replace it with
a comment marker (thus filtering out lines).
The syntax should be pretty obvious:
a b@i586 c@x86_64
will get "a b" given ARCH=i586 and "a c" given ARCH=x86_64;
please see doc/archdep.txt for a more elaborate description
and a conversion script.
