Release notes for sidux 2010-01 "Ύπνος" (Hypnos - Гипно́с) 2010-01

While waiting for the availability of KDE 4.4.x, "Ύπνος" development concentrated on overhauling the early boot sequence for live- and installed system in regards to concurrent dependency based booting and the integration of kernel 2.6.34. sidux now uses CONCURRENCY=makefile and continues to embrace grub2 on the installed system, with isolinux and an improved gfxboot theme on the live system. KDE based ISOs can now make use of partitionmanager instead of gparted.

While grub2 offers increased flexibility for installations, like supporting new filesystems (ext4) or advanced installation options like LVM2 and improved detection capabilities for other distributions and operating systems, right now it is limited to a textmode menu. A new theming effort is currently under development and will be available in the future.

Even though support for plain wallpapers would be already supported by grub2, it is still fragile and prolongs the system boot. Internally the configuration system for grub2 uses scripts snippets under /etc/grub.d/ to create its configuration file "grub.cfg" in a way that allows many self updating features, such as automating fromiso support with the help of "grub2-fll-fromiso" (optional).

With isolinux now supporting gfxboot, it is now also possible to use isohybrid, which allows writing an ISO directly to USB storage or sd/ sdhc/ mmc memory sticks to make these bootable. isohybrid adds an MBR to the ISO and sets up a partition table with one active entry, the partition containing the ISO. Further partitions can be added to allow access to the unused part of the storage device.

Network booting from network block devices (NBD) is now supported, as well as fromiso/ fromhd systems on LVM2 volumes, further information about NBD support is available under Booting sidux over a network.

Kernel 2.6.34 doesn't only improve and stabilise hardware support for newer devices, it also allows enabling KMS (kernel based modesetting) for Intel graphic chipset and supports DRI and basic 3d support for ATi Radeon graphics cards up to the HD4xxx series (r6xx/ r7xx, hints for installing the required firmware are available at Hardware needing non-free firmware drivers). Special attention has been given to wlan support for RaLink rt28x0/ rt30xx, as well as Atheros AR9271 devices, such as several staging wireless drivers.

As usual, a large number of individual functionality enhancements and bugfixes have been applied to the full package line up and sidux' own packages, in order to improve the general distribution infrastructure.

Установка и локализация

Установка

It is recommended to set keymaps, locales and timezone before booting the live system to be installed, by selecting them from the boot menu [F2], [F3]. This way, locale settings propagate to all required places for the installed system and don't require cumbersome changes at several places.

Установка на USB флешки

Since sidux 2009-04 "Μόρος", it is also possible to write sidux ISOs directly to USB storage devices of sdhc memory cards (Secure Digital High Capacity cards) in addition to the well known possibility of using "install-sidux-to-usb" (install-usb-gui). This option is particularly useful if there is no existing sidux installation available and if an installation medium needs to be created from another distribution or operating system.

It is important to note that this method overwrites the whole USB medium and restricts the available storage to the size of the sidux ISO; install-usb-gui is not subject to these limitations and therefore the recommended option in case an existing sidux system is available. 

cat /path/to/sidux-*.iso > /dev/USB_raw_device_node
Другие опции установки

Further information about the sidux install is available from Installation options.

Загрузка sidux по сети

Starting with sidux 2009-04 "Μόρος", network booting over PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) and NBD (Network Block Device) is supported, the required settings can be configured from within the boot menu [F4]. Instructions about how to set up an example PXE+NBD boot server can be obtained at Booting sidux over a network.

Полезные советы для обновления:

sidux tries hard to provide seamless rolling dist-upgrade path for debian and to the packages that are sidux specific, nevertheless a few things remain that could be improved with manual interaction.

Каркас crda

The new regulatory domain framework for cfg80211 based wlan cards requires crda to allow access to wireless channels above ch11 (2.4 GHz or their 5 GHz equivalents), without crda only the "world domain" (channel 1-11) is available. Previous hacks using module parameters ("ieee80211_regdom={US,EU,JP}") are no longer available and prevent cfg80211 from loading, please remove eventual module-init-tools overrides ("grep -R ieee80211_regdom /etc/modprobe.d/" to find them) manually. 

# apt-get update apt-get install crda

Установка часового по́яса

Older versions of tzdata (as present in previous sidux versions) didn't record and set the timezone correctly, please reconfirm and select your current timezone – even if it appears to work – through: 

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Свободные драйверы проекта nouveau

X.org in Debian prefers xserver-xorg-video-nouveau over xserver-xorg-video-nv since xorg 1:7.5+6, which unfortunately can't be supported by sidux until it leaves the staging section and gains a stable ABI between kernel- and userspace. Therefore we recommend users of nvidia graphics cards to purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, so xserver-xorg-video-nv — which doesn't suffer from incompatible ABI changes — can take precedence again. 

apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

We will offer nouveau support as soon as it can be done in a responsible way.

Устаревшие пакеты

As part of the continuing development of sidux, a number of packages have been replaced by better alternatives or become redundant.

Следующая команда сможет найти пакеты, которые не имеются в активном apt репозиторие. Будьте осторожным с вручнуюу установленными пакетами. apt-show-versions - это самостоятельный пакет и необязательно предустановлен.

$ apt-show-versions | awk '/No available version in archive/{print $1}'
