LinuxBBQ

Thanks posted a new thread regarding USB network adapter/sticks. Looks like anorexia and the brews I tried didn't have the network drivers I needed for 2 laptops I was setting up for friends. Anorexia didn't have it either. I might eventually take time to dig and try to get them installed but until ...

Hey again, Does anyone have a model and brand of a USB network adapter that has worked fine in the last couple years for linuxbbq without needing external drivers. I wanted to purchase one maybe on amazon that I can get in 2 days. The last couple I bought needed me to do some digging for adapters in...

Back in the day.. Well not quite.. but... What ever happened to the homepage that broke all the BBQ's down to their window manager. For now, anybody recommend the smallest version with X. Want to install mplayer alone to use an old laptop as a DVD movie player. How old. Let's say an old Pentium 3 wi...

Hmmm crazy that I learn something new every day but forget 2 things a day and in this case grub & syslinux haha. I have to take my limited time and research more before I respond. Basically after the fact of my saying it was the installer, I think it was more than that. I love booting a live CD ...

OK during this process of figuring out why boot up is so slow, I found 2 bugs if that's what I may call them. ( EDIT : don' think 1st is a problem) The first is whomever created the debian installer for mysql-server didn't create a folder called /var/log/mysql which then had to be changed owners to ...

Ok there is a difference which I didn't realize I must have disabled mysql service on the HDD after I created the bbqsnapshot. The problem is half solved. Most of the delay is starting mysql. I was focusing mainly on the ISO and didn't reboot the HDD install in a while. The interesting thing that I'...

Basically I'm working on 2 bootable Live ISO disc images. They will be a print and time management Live ISO server disc and client Live ISO disc that I will offer to neighboring libraries. If they choose, I will give them instructions on how to install these Live ISOs to their PC's. Their current sy...

File attached. I'm thinking it's something inside /etc/inittab like maybe one of the services starting up from the call s1::sysint:/etc/init.d/rcS It seems to be after the dmesg's end and before X starts up. When I stop X from starting up by removing it from the ~/.bashprofile I notice that doesn't ...

OK got the bootchart working. adding just init=/sbin/bootchartd was not enough to get it to work. had to also add initcall_debug printk.time=y so the full command line was initcall_debug printk.time=y quiet init=/sbin/bootchartd to the grub command line boot args /etc/default/grub and can't forget u...

Thanks @machinebacon "bootchart (with pybootchartgui)" I actually found a note about using those tools a little bit before you gave me the suggestion. I was digging around yesterday quite a bit longer and sometimes I wonder why items like this aren't easier to find. I am going to give it a...

Anyone here ever try debugging the boot process up to and including X? Here is my scenario: Installed a few packages from the original live distro bork 32bit and ran the install bbqinstall. Boot speed time is about 15 seconds which is very nice on the hard drive. I then created a snapshot of this in...

Thanks problem solved. Some debian documentation said use
Then I did a search for cups
and only the cups library showed up in the result list.



Thanks!

Hi all,

Anyone know why bork 64 doesn't see cupsys to run apt-get install cupsys nor is it in apt-cache search cupsys.

Am I missing a repository. I have the default repositories installed and would figure something like that would be in the original repositories.

Thanks

Oh I don't mind them so much when I don't grow any new grey hairs haha.

BTW osd_cat is pretty cool how it is a timed on screen display which you can scrape and paste any kind of data you want on the X desktop

OK got it playstream is a script and not compiled code. Both PLY and SYS from the tray buttons use osd_cat with displays messages to the x display. Turns out the line to echo the buffering site was remarked out. Also did some research on making the font larger. Academy was missing a couple things: $...

Thanks. I hope to be testing this out tomorrow. Will keep you all posted

I see that chickenwings has a tray button configured in ~/.jwmrc that displays PLY on the lower right and when clicked, it starts playstream which in turn starts a stream and displays an on screen message Buffering http://voxsc1.somafm.com:8880. I see that ~/.playstream file which has the stream add...

Would anyone happen to know why the plain vanilla version of Academy shows my laptop wifi card while Chicken Wings doesn't when they both use the same kernel. Is it a loadable mod that is missing.

The Dell laptop shows via lspci as a Broadcom BCM312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)

Thanks for any help

Jeez


I downloaded the bbq 64 bit Bork with 4.0.1.
Is there more to it then apt-get install new 4.0.3 kernel? Or an apt-get upgrade? Never installed a new kernel before.

As I get time from what needs to be done I'm uncovering all these priceless tips.. Thanks stark
