Problem downloading firmware to device with dfu-util

Hi, I'm trying to use linux to update the SDC21xxS firmware. I can use minicom to put the device into DFU mode, and then can upload and read the firmware from the device with dfu-util. I've tried to download the SDC21xxS firmware files (.zdfu and .zbin) to the device but both files have failed. I do not have much experience with DFU, STM or Roboteq devices, so I would be grateful for any help.

Trying to create dist ISO from Ubuntu 18.04
Every ISO I create can't install grub on any device.
If there are other partitions with other operating systems update grub trashes grub.
I saw a few posts about this, is there a fix.
Running latest version of pinguybuilder.

Thanks for all you do.

Include media folder

$

If you want to include /media folder and its subfolders in your backup (PinguyBuilder backup) it is not possible at the moment. However, there is a workaround just change the following lines

mkdir -p $WORKDIR/dummysys/{dev,etc,proc,tmp,sys,mnt,media/cdrom,var}

to

mkdir -p $WORKDIR/dummysys/{dev,etc,proc,tmp,sys,mnt,var}

then

for d in `ls / | grep -v etc | grep -v run | grep -v tmp | grep -v sys | grep -v var | grep -v dev | grep -v media | grep -v mnt | grep -v lost+found | grep -v proc`; do

to

for d in `ls / | grep -v etc | grep -v run | grep -v tmp | grep -v sys | grep -v var | grep -v dev | grep -v mnt | grep -v lost+found | grep -v proc`; do

and

for d in `ls / | grep -v etc | grep -v run | grep -v tmp | grep -v sys | grep -v var | grep -v dev | grep -v media | grep -v mnt | grep -v lost+found | grep -v proc | grep -v home`; do

to
for d in `ls / | grep -v etc | grep -v run | grep -v tmp | grep -v sys | grep -v var | grep -v dev | grep -v mnt | grep -v lost+found | grep -v proc | grep -v home`; do

That way you will always have your custom made subfolder under /media. In my case was the folder named datad with a couple of links pointing to the different files/folders on my running system.

Before starting the build make sure, that you have nothing mounted under /media unless this is what you want. I need to emphasize that this option is only applicable if you are not running from the Live CD/DVD. In that case, make sure to put your Live CD/DVD to ram at boot prompt (add kernel boot option toram). Of course if you have enough ram to do that ...Otherwise you will copy the entire CD/DVD to your backup.

Opera printing bug

$
0
0
While I can print from every other app I have installed, and while Opera is one of the recommended packages in the app store/software center, it is physically unable to print under PinguyOS. Same version prints just fine in KDE Neon.

Bring up any Web page you want.
Hit <Ctrl>-p
Save to PDF is only option. If you hunt around and see the blue "print from system dialog" you will see the old familiar system print dialog WITH NO PRINTERS DEFINED.

It appears the "maintainer" missed the current rounds of CUPS changes OR they never knew you could print from Opera.

Ubuntu 19.04: Removal of python-vte causes remastersys based tools to fail to install

$
0
0
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but in Ubuntu 19.04 removal of python-vte will cause remastersys and clones to fail to install/work.

This is an effort to get people to convert their GTK2 apps to GTK3.

What does this mean:

1. The GUI has to be completely redone for GTK3.
I have taken a first pass at this using glade but GTK3 is
much more restrictive than GTK2 and I don't like the result
so I will make a second attempt when I have time.

2. Instead of using gtk2 and python-vte, we have to rewrite the python code
to use GObject Introspection and gtk3 using the gir1.2-vte-2.91 package provided
by the vte2.91 source package(and GTK builder to import the glade files/files).

3. Need to think about porting python code from 2.7 to 3.0+ after the above
is done and working.

In the mean time I have created a hack to allow me to get a working
version as a baseline for 19.04 (e.g. I wanted a working baseline to work from).
I took the latest python-vte deb from 18.10 and unpacked it and changed the dependencies
so it would install on 19.04(yeah I know hack.. hack.. hack) but at
least this got me a working version for 19.04 and hopefully some
time to deal with the redesign.

Also I could not get the resultant ISO to boot. I believe the fix is to remove the
"no-duplicates" entry from the mksquashfs command line in the main script
(it's was already removed from the mksquashfs command line in the config file)
unless an update came in unnoticed and I missed it.

I thinking of combining the "actions" and "settings" pages into one page on V2
of my GUI redesign and using tooltips instead of labels for the action buttons
description and am wondering if there is any reason for not doing this
(hell if I am having to redesign the GUI I might as well improve it while I am working on it).

I am also having to learn python on the fly so it could take me a while
(I HATE interpreted languages) but am using pylint and other tools which
help when not having a compiler.

Hopefully I can get this all done and tested before 20.04 and I will try and get
it on git or sourceforge (probably sourceforge) so that it will be available to
all(unless I croak or have a stroke or something).

Of course it will be open source and free to use, modify and mangle etc.

Just wanted to give you an advance heads up of what's in store for the 19.04+
Ubuntu respins.

Let me know if you have any feedback, improvements etc you would
like to see and I will try and include them if I can.

And as always thanks for all of your hard work on PinguyBuilder and help that you have provided in the past.

Simple fix.

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Change

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

To

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1"

Then run

sudo update-grub

Then

sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-amdgpu.conf

Delete everything and add this

Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "AMDgpu"
Driver "amdgpu"
Option "DRI" "3"
Option "TearFree" "on"
Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection

Next remove these two files

sudo rm -rf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-radeon.conf
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Reboot then run

vulkaninfo | less

To see if it is working.

Power Settings, Where Are They?

I can't find the power settings.

I would like my monitor to stay on longer than 5 minutes.

And, I don't want my computer hibernating when unattended.

I clicked around the help files, but they seem to apply to Ubuntu, not Pinguy OS 18.04.2.

I searched several times in the forum and can't find any related posts.

Any and all help is appreciated.

I've created a cdfs but how to custom it ?

$

Hello, I'm new to remastering thing...
As my home is big I have used deja-dup to backup it and now I'm trying to use the pinguyn-builder to create a .iso for backup my applications and some of its configurations.

So I've used the option distcdfs that created /home/PinguyBuilder/PinguyBuilder/, but I don't know how to proceed from here in order to customize it. Huh

could some point me to a doc or video showing what to do ?

I read here about /etc/skel. but it is not clear to me which one should I use to copy things: my machine's (/etc/skel) or the one in the generated structure (/home/PinguyBuilder/PinguyBuilder/dummysys/etc/skel).

Also, it is not clear to me what I should/can copy. Should I copy .bash_aliases and .bashrc ? Can I copy .thunderbird/, .mozilla/ and other applications config folders?

thanks for any help

Kubuntu 19.04

Hello. I have been trying to make a custom dist iso using Kubuntu 19.04. Everything goes good until it tries to make the iso. It makes a 34KB iso file. It also gives apt some issues after I installed the latest version from github, because it requires an older version of a dependancy (i think it was some sort of vte python dep). Is there anything I can do to create a properly sized ISO of my 19.04 distro?

Thanks In Advance

advantages of using technologies in education

Most of us will agree that technology in the field of education can help the student and teachers. It provides benefits such as communication, visual treat, efficiency etc. When technology is integrated in to lessons students and teachers are expected to be more interested in the subjects they are studying. Most of the time theoretical explanations are not understood by the student. Here comes the importance of technology. There are many educational apps that are available for the students. D-NOTE helps the learner to access the courses online or offline using their mobile phones. It can help the students to understand the concept in a more accurate and perfect way

Hi,
I tried to remaster a brand new Xubuntu, no problem for every kind of Dist, but it doesn't work for the Backup.
I tried the same for Kubuntu no problem at all.
Anyone got an idea how to backup a remastered Xubuntu?

Still about the back up not working on a brand new Xubuntu, here are 2 screenshots about the bug report generated by Ubiquity.

Screenshot 1 : The installer crashed, we will generate a bug report to file to the developpers.

Install/Problems with Linux Mint 19.1 Tara

$
0
0
Hi!
I am using Linux Mint 19.1 MATE 64bit with pinguy-builder 5.1-8!
I made my own distribution with the dist-modus and got a 3.6GB iso-file at the end after succesfully remastering. Also it is not the first time that i use remastersys or pinguy builder!

If i try to install my distro now from an usb-stick, the live system is booting well and the ubiquity installer starts and runs...

First problem i note is that the installer give me no option to disable the "Load updates and others from the internet"-thing and force me to use it while install!
but i did the install on an offline computer und would like to have an installer that do not need an internet connection.

Other things like language-choose, pw, user e.g. and the whole install is running normal.
But before finishing there is coming a stop and error/message that there could be not load some installed files. From the internet?

If i boot the new system i have a stable system for my first view and everything right.
Sound is working too.
Just 2 icons in plank dock are missing and some modified things from lsb-release e.g. distro-name are not shown in some apps that did before.
With THIS i could "live"...

But the taste of thinking that there is MAYBE missing something and could do some wrong sometimes is staying.

i hope hope you understand that i don t want to give other people an installer with this error message at the end.

The big question is> belongs this problem to the Ubuntu&Linux Mint/ubiquity/package or is this a problem or bug of pinguy builder together with Linux Mint 19.1?

Is there somebody who s got the same problem like me or is there a workaround.
Or does the ubiquity-installer needs an existing-internet-connection now?

Thanks for answering!

GUI issues with Ubiquity during fully automated installation

$
0
0
Hi,

I am facing some strange GUI issues during the installation process. I am trying to create a distribution on my customized Lubuntu machine. I have a preseed file and have set in Grub "automatic-ubiquity" to have a fully automatic installation. The installation process works fine, meaning it will complete the installation successfully without any user interactions.

However, when I try to "drag" the Ubiquity window around the screen, the screen will not repaint, it will leave a trail of the window. This problem doesn't seem to happen if I run the created ISO in a virtual machine. It almost happen all the time on a physical device. The problem will not happen if user interaction is required (without automatic-ubiquity).

Another interested issue is that sometimes the Window Manager (Openbox) will not run or it could have crashed.

I tried using different parameters in the Grub, removing "quiet splash" seems to solve the problem.

Has anyone encounter this problem?
