Slackware64 14.2 - How change something of boot
Hi there, 2 days ago, i had installed Slackware64 14.2, yes a fresh install. i install grub instead of "LILO" because i am using the "huge.s" / "Huge Kernel" i had the follow dunnos :
1. How i can set grub2 generates the configuration file using "UUID" instead of "/dev/sdX#" 2. How to set resolution to 1024x768x32 starting from grub and 1024x600x32 (For netbook) 3. Because i installed the huge kernel, why i can see the image of tux on the superior part of screen ? is possibly activated that using Huge Kernel i mean when the configuracion file is generated. how i can set by default in the kernel line instead: Code:
linux /vmlinuz-huge-4.4.111 root=/dev/sda3 ro Code:
linux /vmlinuz-huge-4.4.111 root=UUID=1c07b419-4a08-4326-b4c4-fd9ac9cce46e ro Thanks for anybody can help me to solve my dunnos. |

1.
I believe you have to set this somewhere: Code:
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=false Use the vga= parameter: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...a-mode-425695/ 3. Is that the "tux logo" whilst booting? That's normal, slackware has the linux logo setting enabled in its kernel. 4. Plymouth wouldn't work with the huge kernel. You'd need to generate an initrd and boot from the generic kernel using that initrd in your bootloader config. You can generate an initrd quite easily: Code:
# `/usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh | tail -n1` |
I have also grub on my slackware and usually is just a matter of running "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" after updating the kernel.

Because i installed the same distro in a Netbook for a client and the generic kernel can't boot with it, i try the installation various times, but with generic kernel ever the same result, impossible to boot the netbook. i am prefer watch an animation instead of verbose output of booting of huge kernel That client don't know too much about computers, and well i will try to explain it but is possible feels fear of that output when watch it. i am thinking to make my own script for change "root=/dev/sdX#" by "root=UUID=<DEVICE_ID>" i need make the replace with sed or another thing, came with the system. i am trying : Code:
blkid | grep sda3 | awk '{print $3}' "root=/dev/sda3" by "root=UUID=$(blkid | grep sda3 | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's/[=UID]*.//' | sed 's/["].*//') yes the output of command. |
set your grub to display a rez during boot
Code:
userx [ ~ ]$ cat /hd/etc/default/grub with the grub update I just took the commands and put them into a script and put that into /usr/local/bin/update-grub Code:
userx [ ~ ]$ cat /hd/usr/local/bin/update-grub UUID to fstab, blkid and get your UUID's and just comment out the orginal and add them Code:
UUID=xxxxx // then copy what is already there from the orginal |
Or someone know a Distribution without Systemd
with GRUB2 using UUID by default can install DockBarX can install PlyMouth better if a Slackware derative. well any distro without SystemD for me is a good choise. except Devuan. Devuan can't install on Netbook (Canamita MG101A3) |

Code:
userx [ ~ ]$ sudo blkid Code:
userx [ ~ ]$ sudo nano /hd/etc/fstab |
The point is not if UUID is a simple replacement, my dunno is why is not the default in Slackware 14.2?
i am take in consideration the migration because with Slackware 14.2 after literal a year i don't find a way to 1 - Folder Chooser of Xfce4 works, when i want set Backgrounds directory, ever is blocked (This have a dump workaround, but the point is that should be work) 2 - Install , Configure, Activate/Use : * plymouth # bootsplash with animation support * mdm # Display Manager / GDM2 Fork * mugshot # Tool for edit user profile information * menulibre # Tool for edit menus * dockbarx # Taskbar / Panel * gnote or tomboy # Tool for takes quick notes, i don't like the xfce4-notes * Trinity Desktop Environment # Desktop Environment / KDE3 Fork at the moment i know in Slackware 14.2 some software like: * dockmanager # dockmanager plugins * zeitgeist # recently used file list * cardapio-bzr # standalone dock i use its not possible to install yet. i hope when exist Slackware 17. i can use this softwares without problems. |

Also, bear in mind that not only the packages you listed would need to be provided but also all their dependencies, upgraded as need be at least for security fixes. Let me give just one example. Out of curiosity (in Slint we already ship gdm2, lxdm and lightdm) I downloaded a source archive for mdm-2.0.19 from this repo: https://github.com/linuxmint/mdm/releases I quickly came across this running ./configure: Code:
configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.24.0 webkit-1.0 >= 1.3.10) were not met: |
Yep start trying to get your hands dirty and create package you want in slack, or any distro that is out there with all of their respective dependenies. If you want to make it work the way you want it to. Then open the source code and modify it to do what you want it to do.
All of that from the source not a distro repo. Then make it conform to the repo of whichever distro you're creating it for. From scratch, and you will have to do that all by yourself. You'll get a better insight of what all goes into just one package, then think bigger and bigger. An entire operating system and everything else that everyone else wants it to have installed on it. Every configuration script that needs to be written for every single one of the dependenies and the core software to be installed and in the exact order it has to be installed in. Then make it an automatic process. It’s not as easy as frying an egg. 3Rd party apps that do not fully work, xfce4 and the desktop background is not Slackware`s issue. It’s xfce4 btw. |

because things like : mugshot and menulibre should be part of the official installation when the user select xfce4 like default environtment. |

But maybe you could contribute SlackBuilds to http://slackbuilds.org. So far you have got a lot of help from the community, maybe it's time to give something back instead of always asking? |
