Fwd: Forcing monitor resolutions

2008-08-08 Thread Kai Hendry
so for e.g. a xvideomode=800x600

gets translated to: (perhaps we need an extra param for the refresh,
e.g. 800x600x75)

x61:~% gtf 800 600 75

  # 800x600 @ 75.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 47.02 kHz; pclk: 48.91 MHz
  Modeline 800x600_75.00  48.91  800 840 920 1040  600 601 604 627
-HSync +Vsync

And then inserted into the /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section Monitor
Identifier  Configured Monitor
##HERE##
EndSection


Bit busy today, though I'll work on a patch if I get time.

 Use debconf from which dexconf generated the xorg.conf with the wanted
 screen resolution.



 What's the current debian way of forcing a resolution before X starts?


For RandR 1.2 drivers, you want to look at

yet another auto builder :-)

With this code I want to test that live-helper is capable build sid  lenny.

Kind of a weather report or heartbeat of live-ness.


I am not keeping any images as I don't want to have to clean them up.



So with:

http://build.webconverger.com/logs/2008-08-04.sid.txt

I can tell unstable/sid isn't building today.


Any suggestions are welcome!

Yes I could do. I thought this service could be a little more

You can only build an image on a daily basis, so we'll have to wait
till tomorrow to see if all my changes work. ;)

 Wikis are also non-linear, which also causes problems when you try to

Well, I think most people understand and like hyperlinks, even in
print mediums like PDF.

 Finally, docbook has good support for footnotes, endnotes, sidebars,

 an extension) some basic formula support.

So does MathML. Tbh I have not tried formulae out with PrinceXML.

 I hate editing anything without vim  git.
 You can edit docbook with vim and git; it's not docbook's fault if
 there's no nxml equivalent for vim ;-)

dist-upgrade after lh_chroot_sources

After the security stanzas have been added to /etc/apt/sources.list
live-helper should then dist-upgrade to incorporate those security
updates.

I noticed this here:

Image QA

2007-06-29 Thread Kai Hendry
Hey guys,

I've been looking into QA for the images I generate with Debian-Live.

Webconverger.com generates several new ISOs on an update and I am
worried sick something might have gone wrong. ;)

What usually goes wrong for me is that sometimes the package(s)
live-helper needs is misplaced (my fault) or perhaps failed to be
fetched (network fault). I need to also probably come up with a couple
of fault finding greps of the debian-live log output.

Brendan Sleight (see mail below) from the morphix project does video
stuff. I think it could be useful to quickly watch a movie in fast
forward if it looks right. (black box testing?)

Also Martin Ferrari tells me he is working on a lintian fully
automated style testing of images. (white box testing?)

Other elements of testing I would like to pursue (if I had more time) is
the PC World test.  I would like to plug a USB stick of my image and
test it on all the machines on demo in the store. I probably just need
to create a persistent USB image for the live.log and where perhaps a
`hwinfo` dump could live. This was talked about during Debconf7 as
perhaps being also part of Debian popcon stuff.

Anyone have some QA tips or thoughts, please share. Best wishes,

In a nutshell, the script runs qemu, viewed via vnc session, then
captures screenshots. Then converts the screenshots into a video. I am
using vnc, so one day I can drop the require to be running a local
x-server. (Google for vncrec)

Re: Security risks?

2007-05-21 Thread Kai Hendry
I think with Webconverger at one stage I was deleting /etc/sudoers in a
hook. Though I removed the line, as I usually require sudo for debugging
and normal users shouldn't be able to reach a terminal.

Best wishes,

Re: problem booting option and network

 OK it  works fine  from now  with locale. I  have to  RTFM to  make it

Hint:

 But the  network don't  work. On 2  different machines the  nic aren't
 recognized. I don't know why...

Do they work with other linux liveCDs?  I really recommend a DHCP server
on your network. IPs shouldn't be statically assigned all the time. It
is a pain. :)

Re: Fwd: language of liveCD

2007-04-11 Thread Kai Hendry
Thanks Eric for your helpful response.

I've since discovered I was nuking locales with the mini hook.

Now they're working again. :)

 boot: live ip=10.0.0.2,,255.255.255.0,10.0.0.138 locale=fr_FR.UTF-8

That ip line is missing the interface. See:

http://webconverger.infogami.com/Networking

I reckon this will work for you:

ip=eth0,10.0.0.2,255.255.255.0,10.0.0.138

 AFAIK this parameter is not working at the moment, so you should not set it.

What's happened here?

I noticed this now in my etch builds, where I swear it was working

webconverger.org

2007-03-25 Thread Kai Hendry
Hi guys,

Just managed to upload Webconverger 1.6 to http://webconverger.org/
where I hope you could please give it a try.

Webconverger is built using Debian Live and I hope to announce it to
distrowatch if I can get some good feedback.

Webconverger basically provides a Web kiosk. See:
http://webconverger.org/design/
Goals 78 still need a lot of work. :)

Thanks!

lh_chroot_localincludes

2007-03-20 Thread Kai Hendry
The $LIVE_CHROOT is needed as I symlink in the l-h config directory and
hence the cd ../..  doesn't work.

Those groovy find arguments get rid of .svn directories that my config
directory is unfortunately littered with.

toram diff

2007-03-19 Thread Kai Hendry
For some late night entertainment,

Did an USB etch image of http://webconverger.org/ d-l and compared
toram on a laptop. Here is the diff with `free -m` and `mount`.
