well, very happy to have you and guadalinex :-D
I only generated the system from Ubuntu and their repo
The safe menu give me kernel panic
Unable to mount root fs on unknow-block(1,0)
yes, probably I used same bad configurations as I remember I copied it from same debian or ubuntu iso, but you know it is not so much used and it is broken
everyone know that are her needs, less code for me and the same or better results
everyone can manage it, just few files and you can customize not only calamares branding but partition,yml and so on. For example I have idea to have a versione of proxmox-ve with gui. I made iso, but became difficult to integrate all the thing, in this way can be short
nice idea
@aosucas499 Hola, I just upload the last version of eggs 7.7.4 with the guadalinex theme. I used an icon from internet and perhaps you have better icons, I have also idea to expand theme a little more. es: add theme name to the iso image eg: GUIDELINEX_basename-YYYY-MM-DD-HH:MM.iso r think about the possibility to include default desktop wallpapers and so on. It' work in progress, but look to run correctly. To update eggs just sudo eggs update, choose basked and you will get last four versione from sourceforce. I hope you will like, but with time will be better
btw. the actual version of theme include calamares and both isolinux and grub configuration for liveCD
Hi Piero, after the amazing results of your tool in new Guadalinex, in our schools, time ago we are developing an old version of a distro linux based in debian jessie, for our old computers, it goes really well,with updates browsers, etc...but our installer in some old computer give problems, i was thinking in use your tool but with the Debian no not calamares installer. How can I adapt so the tool think I'm in debian stretch(sometimes we use the stretch repos in apt) thanks
@aosucas499 good mornirg. Well I'm really happy for that. I think you can use the internal installer of eggs, it's CLI and have same revision to do but it work on staandard BIOS, yesterday I just used it with a remaster of SODILINUX an italian remix based on Linux Mint Ulyssa, I had the problem to not be able to install it with calamares so I just used CLI installer (sudo eggs install --cli). Times are passed from our meet now eggs come with simple manPage, just man eggs and others improvements (I extended your way to customize CDROM boot check addon/eggs/theme and so on. I just was thinking about the need to improve eggs installer for cases cannot be usable calamares, so you are back... just in the right time!
ps SODILINUX is a distro for school too, I just tryed to install it on an old computer for a child, i think can be interesting to you too
@aosucas499 I tried this morning to produce a jessie version, but we lacks overlayfs... please investigate if it is possible, I know eggs can work in stretch (without calamares) and if we solve the problem of overlayfs, perhaps updating kernel we can remaster jessie too
I just worked with sources at the moment don't release nothing. but it is just last version on git
Ok, I published it as eggs_7.8.38-1_amd64.deb in https://sourceforge.net/projects/penguins-eggs/files/packages-deb/
the i386 version will follow, now Im in a hurry to get out
I see you are not connected today, well i Just restructured a little my installer. In lomg way I want yo create something who can read calamares modules yaml and calamares-modules in yaml and bash l to help me to have a similar configuration. I want this installer cli in eggs for two reasons: the firrst Is to let server only cll reproductions and second becouse casalamares Is very good, but expecially with mate, xfce and lxqt need a lot of RAM to work and this in some cases can be impossible to use It in systems with just 2 GB RAM. But the system can run enought well with the same distro if ove
If we overpass this phase.
I solved the problem of overlayfs updating the kernel from 3.16 to 3.19. Apparently it was the first kernel to introduce that
I'll try with jessie and kernel 3.19 and I'll give you feedback
I think we need to compile a kernel with CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS=m and CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ=y, perhaps also CONFIG_KERNEL_LZ4=y for fast oprion. Perhpas I'm wrong, not so expert in that and, until now, never tried to compile the kernel, a must to do in the life, so I'm just a novice. At the momnt I put in eggs info two commands 'zgrep CONFIGKERNEL /boot/config-$(uname -r)' and 'zgrep CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS /boot/config-$(uname -r)' to check the presence
and
I tried also with ubuntu xenial, in this case work and I put back xenial in the compatibility distro for eggs. Nothing to do for trusty, I dont remember why. So at moment we have stretch and xenial. I saw also who xenial and trusty have the same version of kernel 4.4 I think wo for sure not was the same the original. And this suggest me there is a way, but for now don't know.
