Re: testing: RE: ToriOS precise version

 

Hi Nio,
I think this is now fully fixed :)
The problem was rather small... you could update obi inside the LiveCD and try it to make sure it works well for you. I am working on fixing one of Ali's found bugs and I think it is now fixed, but the jwm-settings-manager has to be rebuilt (the bug is in the nice-start script which comes with jwm-settings manager, though I might move it to the torios stuff at some point)

Hi Nio,
First things I would like about this issue is the logfile for obi pae
installer
It should be located on the drive at:
LOG="/home/$USERNAME/pae-kernel-install.log"
i.e.
~/pae-kernel-install.log
of the installed system.
This will help me find out (round about) where the issue is.

Hi Israel,

Most things that I have tested (with the current Ubuntu based ToriOS
iso file) work, but it is by no means a complete test. Unfortunately I
have not time enough for a complete test.

I want to make you aware of one bug, that hit me both at the basic and
advanced OBI level: When I selected to install a PAE kernel, it was
accepted (and also logged), but the operation was fast, and afterwards
I found out, that the non-pae was there anyway. In other words, it
does not really install anything.

Maybe it is because the target drive is an SSD connected via USB. I
can test to install into an internal drive too.

Best regards

Hi Israel,

Here we go:

1. uname indicates what kernel is used:

March-19@torios ~ $ uname -a
Linux torios 3.2.0-101-generic #141-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 10 21:43:55 UTC
2016 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

2. free indicates that not all RAM is used, which is a typical symptom
of using a non-pae kernel (all 4 GB RAM cannot be used)

March-19@torios ~ $ free -m
              total       used       free     shared buffers     cached
Mem:          2666        237       2429          0 19        131
-/+ buffers/cache:         87       2579
Swap:         4838          0       4838

3. Here is the log file:

March-19@torios ~ $ cat pae-kernel-install.log
2016-03-19
Kernel version in installed base is #141-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 10 21:43:55
UTC 2016
Using Debian LTS
  mounted all the temporary things for this chroot successfully
not sure what You are using.... Must abort
remove /sbin/initctl
dpkg-divert --rename --remove /sbin/initctl
rm /etc/resolv.conf
unmounted all the temporary things for the chroot successfully
March-19@torios ~ $

*. Guessing only: Maybe there is confusion, because in the 3.2 kernel
series the generic kernel is non-pae and the pae kernel is labeled
generic-pae, but in the 3.16 series of Debian Jessie, the pae kernel is
labeled generic.

Best regards

Hi again Israel,

I tried with a previous version of ToriOS-precise. The downloaded iso file is dated Nov 21 and I treated it with isohybrid (to boot a cloned image from USB). This file is dated Nov 22, and it can install the pae kernel, as you can see from the following terminal window dialogue:

delta-nov22-hybrid@torios ~ $ uname -a
Linux torios 3.2.0-101-generic-pae #141-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 10 22:11:18 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

delta-nov22-hybrid@torios ~ $ free -m
