hey,
its been a while i'm updating bootstrap script and since then scratchpkg got many changes.
i will take a look at bootstrap script soon.

btw, you can get the iso of this distro at here

from scratchpkg.

The iso boot smoothely to the splash screen. But either boot venom or debug selection goes to:
Booting the kernel.
Encountered a problem!
Dropping you to a shell.
sh: cannot set terminal process group (-1):
sh: no job control in this shell
sh-4.4#

from scratchpkg.

Its initramfs inside the iso bugs. Also happen to my friend's laptop yesterday. Initramfs script does not load necessary modules for usb port and cant detect thumbdrive that contain venom iso. It should work just fine in virtualbox.
To bad i found the bugs right after i upload the iso. The bugs has been fixed and I will upload new iso in few days.

Alternatively you can create your own iso using script here but its gonna take a long time if you include many packages because you need to compile everything.

from scratchpkg.

I hope to see your new perfect iso.

from scratchpkg.

I have tested your new xorg iso. It is failed to get the splash screen. can load the ilinux.c32?

from scratchpkg.

Thats weird never had that problem before.
How did you burn the iso?

from scratchpkg.

I have tested your new xorg iso. It is failed to get the splash screen. can load the ilinux.c32? the base iso boot up ok.

from scratchpkg.

the mate iso is downloading now. I will try it. I use dd if=venom.....iso of=/dev/sdx. xorg iso cannot bootup.

from scratchpkg.

owh ok, i will double check the xorg iso. btw, did you check the checksum of the xorg iso? maybe the file got corrupted, or the file got corrupted while i upload yesterday.

from scratchpkg.

oh, I didn't check the checksum. wait....

from scratchpkg.

[rsj@rsj-pc ~]$ md5sum venom-xorg-1.0-20181230.iso
c6a88b1c5d42433f54048ae7c1216357 venom-xorg-1.0-20181230.iso
[rsj@rsj-pc ~]$

from scratchpkg.

The md5sum is equal to the sum of what you uploaded.

from scratchpkg.

i think i'm upload the corrupted iso, its different md5sum on my main pc which i created the iso.
maybe it got corrupted when i copy to my external drive yesterday.
i will reupload the iso later.
for now use another working iso.
thanks for testing and the report :D

from scratchpkg.

hey, new iso for xorg now updated.

from scratchpkg.

The mate iso is ok. now I write this message in the mate live mode. congratulation!!!

from scratchpkg.

nice. thats good all works now.
just ask me anything if you need help about venom linux :D

from scratchpkg.

I am very interested in the making of the iso. From the toochain of LFS to the perfectly usable iso. Now, the baseinstall failed due to the scrach script. when I modified the script, installation is complete, but init script may be have problems since network and wireless is not recognized. please give a guide to compile the kernel.

from scratchpkg.

the baseinstall script is so outdated. because it cannot build multilib system. it can only build pure64 system. maybe it will deprecated soon, or i will update it but only for pure64 system incase someone still wanna use it.

theres many guide in the web to compile the kernel. theres kernel ports for venomlinux, you can look at it.

btw, if you have telegram, you can join venomlinux group, maybe i can teach you anything i know in there

Does the base iso have the function to connect the wifi? the mate iso is connected by clicking and type the keys.

from scratchpkg.

on base iso have wpa_supplicant to connect to wifi.
to use it run:

# wpa_passwphrase (wifi name) (wifi key) >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
# /etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant start

from scratchpkg.

The base iso cannot connect the wifi because the base iso does not have the package linux-firmware installed. After installing the linux-firmware. issue the command:

wpa_passwphrase (wifi name) (wifi key) >> /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

then

wpa_supplicant -B -i (wlanx) -Dwext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf

by iwconfig to confirm the wifi works, issue:

dhcpcd (wlanx)

ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to check the connection is ok.

the lfs svn changes continously, some package may fails. for example, vala, ports version is 0.42.3, but svn version is 0.42.4. the patch file ==> ERROR: Failed downloading 'vala-0.42.3-avoid_graphviz-1.patch'.

After manually edit vala's usr/ports/core/vala/spkgbuild, 0.42.3 ----> 0.42.4 and md5 change.
its ok.

from scratchpkg.

i'm glad it works for you.
yeah blfs book always updated and they remove old files(patch) from its server. maybe after this patch i will keep in the ports directory and stay away from blfs links.

i will upload new iso soon, because of changes mkinitramfs scripts and newer kernel. i will include linux-firmware in all edition.

from scratchpkg.

Can you add the ports of compiz-0.9.13.0? some problem exists in linking python lib.

from scratchpkg.

I also got same error compiling compiz 0.9
I will add it into the repo when i can successfully compile it

from scratchpkg.

It is ok now.
compiz_spkgbuild.txt
rename the above file to spkgbuild and copy it to /usr/ports/extra/compiz/
copy the following file to /var/cache/scratchpkg/sources
compiz_link_rpath.txt

from scratchpkg.

spkgbuild you gave me still give me compile error.
http://dpaste.com/3DNZ1DV

from scratchpkg.

Still got same error.

btw, i know how to use spkgbuild.. :D
i'm not copying to /usr/ports/extra/compiz/ because it will bother default repo
i'm creating separate repo in my home dir and add /home/emmett/tmp_ports to /etc/scratchpkg.repo
and i'm copy compiz_link_rpath.txt to current port dir then add compiz_link_rpath.txt in source array replace default broken link you gave

from scratchpkg.

I installed compiz-0.9.13.1 and emerald-0.9.5 successfully, but cannot brings emerald up. Command "emerald -- replace" had no effect.

from scratchpkg.

it's ok now for the compiz and emerald window manager.
I will install dockbarX soon.

from scratchpkg.

wow thats nice.
you should make PR for your ports.
make PR into extra repo.
