Scooby,
you did a tremendous job coming that far on your own.
Congratulation :!:

Got the ISO onto a USB stick and ran it.
vdev took a long time to finish but after that the system was very responsive.

Creating software bundles is a breeze, awesome.
Started creating several software bundles:
cups, firefox, gparted, hplip, htop, jre, libreoffice, terminator, thunar, etc.

One thing that I would like to see is to be able to get all applications as software bundles and be able to switch them on/off when I need/want it.
The best would be (I'm dreaming here...) if the main menu would show the software bundles and on clicking them they get activated and the app started. (suppose a config file would be needed with info like: software bundle dependency, name of app to start, etc.)

So I removed evince and got it back (makesb evince) as bundle, however it's not working...
Maybe the installed version was an older one with less dependencies.
(same with termite, deadbeef...)
What about Voyager, GMPVideo, PlayTV, SimpleRadio how do I get rid of them?

Want to do the same with all the other (no-system) apps but it's not as easy, as they might not be installed via the package manager.
Example: Geany does not show up with "pacman -Ss geany".

Anyhow, alphaOS is still a very good small distro that I want to use in the future.
Keep up the excellent job.


BTW: what is the init system? openrc/runit/sinit?

Take care

Would be interesting to compare with udev, I will see if I can take some measurements from alphaos 16

I am not sure I would like that however I would support you if you would like to try and set up your system that way.
I believe there is a puppy linux that does this, it may be lazypup but I am not sure

I could possible put all of these in one separate apps bundle so you could just remove that one if you don't want them
There would be some trouble like menu's and openbox configuration, I have to give this some thought
For now there is bugs to fix so this would be a later thing.

Example: Geany does not show up with "pacman -Ss geany".

even if you would do a pacman -R on them they would still be existent in bundle extra_17.sb
which is a readonly squash archive.

if you then do makesb geany you will have two copies of geany loaded every time your system boots.

Maybe you could build your own version of extra_17.sb ???

efgee wrote:BTW: what is the init system? openrc/runit/sinit?

alphaOS use what is called busybox-init, in our case we use busybox in initramfs and toybox when booted
why it's so you have to ask simargl

Bought a mouse, got same behaviour as you

To my eye it looks like vdev creates the correct devices.

I will investigate further

ncmprhnsbl wrote:mpv/GMP fails looking for a libsystemd .so.... made/added libsystemd.sb , now works

That is kind of strange. I think it is possible to make it work without libsystemd

if you check on arch libsystemd required by you get

ceph
gnome-settings-daemon
libatasmart
libdbus
libgsystem
libgudev
openvpn
procps-ng
python2-systemd
python-systemd
rpcbind
systemd
usbip
util-linux
uwsgi
xf86-input-vmmouse
xorg-server-xnest


util-linux, libdbus and procps-ng is recompiled in alphaOS to not need libsystemd

no idea where it comes in, could it be an old udev dependency?

*EDIT*

checked up

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/libsamba-util.so.0:
      libsystemd-daemon.so.0 (LIBSYSTEMD_DAEMON_31) => not found

   /usr/lib/pulseaudio/libpulsecommon-6.0.so:
      libsystemd.so.0 (LIBSYSTEMD_209) => not found


So smbclient and libpulse needs to be recompiled, I did libpulse
not sure how to split package smbclient from samba guess I have to
take a look at arch ABS buildsystem, was inevitable for me to learn it

Made a test on alphaos 16 with udev and vdev regarding USB mouse.

As reported works with udev and not vdev.
evdev doesn't get called with vdev as it does with udev
but evdev works for keyboard and touchpad with vdev????


I will try to compile latest vdev this weekend and test.

If this doesn't work should either you or me open an issue or github

If you open an issue there please inform me as well.

this isnt important tho :)

Scooby wrote:Bought a mouse, got same behaviour as you

my old serial mouse seems to be seriously faulty, causing major hardware freakout>hard shutdown>refuse to start even bios :o
at least it worked long enough to give some data...
btw my keyboard is serial plug (14 yrs!!!) so i wonder if a usb keyboard would work(i dont have one)

re conky atifacts
sleep 5 does the trick, bit extreme maybe less would do.... this might due to vdev and xorg not playing nicely?

If you want usb mouse to work in the mean time try this

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ch7gj5v75fbo4 ... bd.sb?dl=0


*EDIT*

I tried latest vdev to see if it would play nice with USB-mouse but got another
error on missing /dev/dri instead so test was inconclusive


to ncmprhnsbl

for xf86-input-wacom there is a dependency on systemd so you can try
either to remove systemd-dummy and install real systemd and see if thats
working or recompile xf86-input-wacom


Thanks for the obarun links, shows how much must be recompiled

./configure $XORG_CONFIG --with-systemd-unit-dir=no

from LFS

I saw also a libwacom on arch? dunnow what that is for though?

The test_kbd.sb is just a temporary fix, this should be done with vdev.
