eudaldgr / kiss-live Goto Github PK

I booted the kiss-live on my Laptop, good work ;)

but i cant use my wifi since its probably not enabled in kernel

i work on a modified kernel and i got the firmware build files from somewhere , my goal is both working so that most hardware is working

Im using linux gentoo on amd64, trying to make your script do work but so far its keep failing. Also im on slow limited connection, every time its re-downloading all sources again and again... its really painful, can you add please to your script the check for all files and skip downloading them (maybe for "-c" option only) if its already pre-downloaded (in external) folder? maybe best with checksum? for make sure no corrupted files. thank you!

Doesn't load the usb thingy or something

I'm aware you stated one of the goals is to slim this down. However I think it would be beneficial for this to have cryptsetup included with a kernel config for luks.

Fails to copy chain.c32 when creating iso file

make_iso
print 'Preparing isolinux files'
printf '%b \033[1;34m%s\033[m\n' '\033[1;33m->\033[m' 'Preparing isolinux files'

mkdir -p /tmp/kiss-live/iso/kiss

cp /usr/lib/syslinux/chain.c32 /tmp/kiss-live/iso/isolinux
cp: can't stat '/usr/lib/syslinux/chain.c32': No such file or directory

Command fails on copying the hooks dir to rootfs dir due to path not found.

failing command:
cp -r "$hooksdir/kiss/hooks" "$rootfsdir/root/.cache/hooks"

I had to add a mkdir before the copy.

mkdir -p "$rootfsdir/root/.cache/hooks"

hi, i'm using a Fedora 32 system. despite installing all dependencies, i still get the "!! grub not installed" error. any idea how could i resolve this?

Hello
as you probably not reading any more in my previous ticket (i wrote there more) cause you got it closed before i answered then i opening new one here, i hope you still can help.
I think i found the root of my previous problem. Hopefully its will help you to help me. Here is the logfile (only last part of it):

kiss-live.txt

thank you again!

Testing the kde branch 👍🏻

Command executed was sudo ./kiss-live -d -k. Seemed to run successfully, I have a built ISO image (and the sha1sum matches). Looking over everything that goes into the creation of this ISO, I should be able to use it on a UEFI system, yes? The usual ways I would go about making a UEFI bootable usb (cat kiss-live-2020.9-2.iso /dev/sda or dd) do not render a bootable USB device; my list of options is blank (this method works fine with an Arch ISO, for comparison). Have you had success using kiss-live with a UEFI system? I have no experience creating ISOs, so I'm not sure where to check on this problem.

Another issue (here) was resolved by installing file on the host. I'd add a check for this when you also check for the other required packages (or find a different way to set $kernver; could just cat repo/linux/version if you don't need all the information given by file).

Outside of that, there isn't a whole lot else I see as being wrong with the kde work you've incorporated here. A few recommendations would be to use the kiss-kde tarball I provide so users don't have to build the entire kde_pkgs list every time they want an ISO; I might have missed the option (you could probably do this through build.cfg?) but using a local tarball instead of starting from scratch would be great in case of failures or incremental updates to the image.
