<< < (2/6) > >>

netnomad:
thank you for your further explanations :)
i guess the KERNEL-variabel arleady works ;)

dCore.gz and dCore-5.13.12.06.iso reposted for correct version number.

hi jason w,

i experience the sudo problem again:

tc@box:~$ sudo su
su: pam_start: error 26

but sudo mc works fine and i can work as root in mc.

i get the feeling that dCore-5.13.12.06 has some problems with big packages
imported by "importsce -f mydesktop".

mydesktop:

Xprogs
wbar
xorg-all
grep
bash
screen
mc
ssh
iptables
fluxbox
fail2ban
laptop-mode-tools
pm-utils
iceweasel
icedove
cups
cups-driver-gutenprint
hplip-cups
jpilot
gnupg
rsync
epdfview
gthumb
xvnc4viewer
gimp
alsa-base
alsa-utils
alsamixergui

sceboot.lst with dCore-5.13.12.06:
original-modules-KERNEL
firmware
wireless
mydesktop

or
 
sceboot.lst with dCore-5.13.11.06:
graphics-3.8.10-tinycore
kernel-all-3.8.10-tinycore
alsa-modules-3.8.10-tinycore
filesystems-3.8.10-tinycore
hwmon-3.8.10-tinycore
v4l-dvb-3.8.10-tinycore
mydesktop

in former test i could get rid of this error by reimporting, but now i tried it so many times that there is still a fundamental mistake... i'm not sure whether it's a mksquashfs-error or a filesystem-related thing (or module) something like that, but it has something to do with the save-process... very often the system freezes or the filesystem needs a check after the packaging-process.

thank you for your help.

Jason W:
I don't have the sudo su issue with the current dCore and recently imported sce's.

The mydesktop file you posted results in a 335MB sce.  My mydesktop is 1.3GB, and I have never had trouble loading or creating it.  I imported and loaded your mydesktop with no issue.  Sounds like you are running out of disk space in the importing process.

hi jason w,

i guess that you are right, although there are no clear hints for that.

yes, my system is not really up-to-date, but it has enough resources for so many configurations.
i have 1gb of ram and my usbstick has 2,5gb free memory. i watch the memory consumption with top and df -h... and there is no hint for a memory-overflow.
i tried it with an additional swap-file prepared by tinycore from 256mb up to 1gb.
i placed this swap-file in the same partition as the tce-directory or on another partition or even on another stick.
at the end of the importsce-packaging i additionally close all open files with sync and even waite some moments after a successful syncing-process without any error messages.
although i successfully packaged the same mydesktop-package with around 330mb in the last weeks, now smaller mypackage-configurations do not work properly anymore.
so i tried to package in an environment with a bare small configuration (that has not the "sudo su"-problem), but this clean environment has the same buggy result.

0.39 MB of downloads required.
796.06 MB needed for unpacking archives.
258.51 MB of compressed archives will be used.
796.45 MB is a good estimate of /mnt/sdb2/tce space needed, 119.87 MB is available.
WARNING: You do not have enough /etc/sysconfig/tcedir tcedir space, you should not proceed.
Proceed to create mydesktop.sce? (y/N):

i don't understand these warnings, cause df -h shows enough memory in
/dev/sdb2       3.7G  1.2G  2.3G  35% /mnt/sdb2
why should there only 119.87 MB be available?
796.45 MB should be no problem at all, even in the RAM!?

btw, this example shows the conditions without an extra swap file, but it's the same result :(

once i thought that perhaps the package pm-utils cause the problem (on my hardware with an intel i915-card the actual kernel has some problems with s2ram), but without this package the same happens.
my only "sudo su"-problem-free configuration is without:
fail2ban
laptop-mode-tools
pm-utils
iceweasel
icedove
cups
cups-driver-gutenprint
hplip-cups
jpilot
gnupg
rsync
epdfview
gthumb
xvnc4viewer
gimp
alsa-base
alsa-utils
alsamixergui

that is problem-free myminidesktop:
Xprogs
wbar
xorg-all
grep
bash
screen
mc
ssh
iptables
fluxbox

it's a pitty, cause my fullblown mydesktop-configuration worked so fine for such a while :(

perhaps you have some hints or ideas, they are welcome, thank you.
