zzz bug
Username: BarryK
I found a bug in the zzz package. The script /sbin/pup_event_backend_modprobe needs a '-E' inserted in line 45: [code]firmware_tarball_func() { iPATTERN='^'"${MODULE}"'$|^'"${MODULEx}"'$' if [ "`grep -E "$iPATTERN" /etc/modules/firmware.dep.inst.${KERNVER}`" = "" ];then fPATTERN='[:,]'"${MODULE}"'\.ko|[:,]'"${MODULEx}"'\.ko' FIRMPKG="`cat /etc/modules/firmware.dep.${KERNVER} | grep -v '^#' | grep ':' | grep -E "$fPATTERN" | cut -f 1 -d ':' | head -n 1`" if [ "$FIRMPKG" != "" ];then if [ -f /lib/modules/all-firmware/${FIRMPKG}.tar.gz ];then tar -z -x --strip=1 --directory=/ -f /lib/modules/all-firmware/${FIRMPKG}.tar.gz > /dev/null 2>&1 [/code] ...that is, the line with grep -E "$iPATTERN" in it. This is [i]not[/i] in Woof, it is my zzz package. To avoid having to upgrade the package database entry in Woof, I have re-uploaded 'zzz_scripts_simple_bk-201011.pet' without changing its name. So, if you have already used zzz pkg in Woof (ie Luci-240), please manually download the zzz pkg again and replace the previous one: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/zzz_scripts_simple_bk-201011.pet

Adding PETs

"Hi Barry. Your latest creation is a blast. Thanks. I went looking for the current SAMBA (ie 3.5+) in the PET respository but couldn't find it. Probably an oversight or noone's has had success in building and installing in Quirky 1.4. Anyway, Congratulations on this system. I like it.

Re SAMBA

"I uploaded the SAMBA SFS: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/sfs/ I was planning to create a quick-install GUI for SFS files, that is still on the to-do list.

quick-install GUI for SFS
Username: 01micko
"Made one. It's in the latest quickpet but the 2 files regarding sfs are independaent, they don't rely on quickpet at all (small gui and backend, uses 'download_file' if installed). It installs sfs in any pupmode, locally or remote. I still need to fix the PUPMODE=77 version as it takes too much RAM, I need to get code to burn it to the multisession DVD on the fly. Cheers

spup
Username: 01micko
"I just built a pretty sane spup.. only bad thing so far is nouveau, but I did know that. I just thought that maybe the xorg nouveau may have been updated in the slackware repos. It has all the latest ppm fixes and download_file, no other customisations, basically vanilla from woof. Just had to update a few things such as pwallpaper, retrovol and some others which I recorded. The intention here is to do some work on the video upgrade. I'll do another build replacing nouveau with nv, it works fine, I'll compile some nvidia drivers and upload maybe tonight or tomorrow. One other thing is ayttm. I'll replace that with Xchat, more stable. Cheers
