2015-12-24Updated skeleton files for populating the 'live' user's homedirectory.Beta3 Eric Hameleers1-0/+0
2015-12-24Updated package lists for non-Slackware and custom configurations. Eric Hameleers5-159/+174
2015-12-24In XDM's Xresources file, try to handle varying screen sizes better. Eric Hameleers1-7/+7
2015-12-24Clear the syslinux menu from the screen when booting the OS. Eric Hameleers1-0/+1
2015-12-24Add a themed GRUB2 menu for UEFI boot, these are the actual files used. Eric Hameleers8-210/+98
2015-12-24Much enhanced iso2usb script. Eric Hameleers1-37/+88
Two new parameters '--force' and '--persistence'. Read "usb2iso.sh --help". Size of the EFI partition was reduced from 200 to 100 MB. The wait-for-root time in the initrd.img file is changed for both BIOS and UEFI boot; this should make boot work out of the box for most computers. More robustness was added in handling race conditions. Only make the USB stick UEFI-bootable if the ISO file is capable of the same.
2015-12-24Add themed GRUB2 configuration for UEFI boot. Eric Hameleers1-20/+99
The GRUB2 theme is similar to the Syslinux theme used for BIOS boot. However, the GRUB menu also allows the user to select a timezone, whereas due to the limitations of syslinux, you'll have to edit the syslinux commandline to change your timezone there.
2015-12-24Add Mate repository info if we are adding slackpkg+. Eric Hameleers1-3/+4
2015-12-24Start Konsole with a login shell. Eric Hameleers1-0/+9
However... does not seem to work for non-US language choices.
2015-12-24Stamp a VERSION number in the ISO, and to the USB partition. Eric Hameleers2-8/+20
2015-12-24Make the init more robust. Eric Hameleers1-10/+38
The computer may have other partitions which contain a Live image, we need to choose one. Alternatively, use "livemedia=/dev/sdX" to point init to the Live device we want to boot.

2015-12-16Packages with directories in /tmp will cause the script to abort during cleanup. Eric Hameleers1-0/+2
This will catch accidental source configuration issues, happens with KDE from time to time.
2015-12-16Set ownership of SDDM homedirectory recursively. Eric Hameleers1-1/+1
2015-12-16Make the configuration of the Live environment less verbose. Eric Hameleers1-3/+3
There is no added value in seeing all the executed commands scroll by.
2015-12-16Mount a RAM based filesystem on /var/tmp to prevent wear of the USB medium. Eric Hameleers1-0/+1

Patch proposed by Didier Spaier.
2015-12-07pkglists/xbase.lst: add missing gnome-keyring plus gcr depencency. Eric Hameleers1-0/+2
2015-12-04Make the isohybrid command more compatible with older BIOS. Eric Hameleers1-3/+21
Specifying heads and sectors also eliminates the warnings about using more than 1024 cylinders. Patch submitted by Didier Spaier.
2015-12-04Explicitly mount /tmp on a tmpfs, this is better for the USB stick's health. Eric Hameleers1-4/+7
Not an issue for a Live Edition running exclusively in RAM, but things are different when you create a USB stick with persistence. The /tmp would then be created on the USB stick and the continuous writes will degrade the flash medium.
2015-12-02Fix the broken implementation of custom default runlevel. Eric Hameleers1-5/+10
2015-12-02Fix for the looping XDM when trying to start a Mate or Cinnamon X session. Eric Hameleers1-0/+3
Evidence in ~live/.xsession-errors: XDM authorization key matches an existing client! cinnamon-session: Cannot open display: . Rationale copied from the page where I found the fix - http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Re-ports-154502-x11-xdm-authorization-failure-when-used-with-E17-window-manager-td5819660.html The cause is that the implementation of XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 is broken if applications execve or unload/reload libX11/libxcb between connections to the X server. More information can be found in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=486606 Since it is unclear whether XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 will be fixed and if so, where, I think it is best to disable it in xdm. It looks like adding --disable-xdm-auth to xdm's configure flags will do this but I have not tested it. I think the security impact is minimal; gdm does not use XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 either.
2015-12-02Add support for creating a Cinnamon Live ISO. Eric Hameleers5-7/+72
Thanks to Willy Sudiarto Raharjo for the repository. Also, renamed Willy's 'MSB' Live Edition to 'MATE'.
2015-12-02Add Portuguese language support to Plasma 5 Live. Eric Hameleers1-0/+1
2015-12-02Add support for alternative directorynames of 'persistence' and 'liveslak'. Eric Hameleers2-10/+21
The persistence directory on USB is called 'persistence' by default but can now be re-defined when running 'make_slackware_live.sh' to create the ISO. Additionally it can be changed dynamically on boot of the Live OS by adding a 'persistence=<dirname>' parameter to the boot. The Live OS main directory is called 'liveslak' by default but can now be re-defined when running 'make_slackware_live.sh' to create the ISO. Additionally it can be changed dynamically on boot of the Live OS by adding a 'livemain=<dirname>' parameter to the boot.
