Linux and desktops / Broadband USB Modem not switching to modem mode
« on: October 02, 2014, 07:42:01 PM »
Hi Biff et al,

Hope this is the correct forum for this.

I had a problem with my Huawei E3131 USB Mobile Broadband Modem not being correctly detected when testing antiX MX-14 and looking at what is installed with wattOS R8 LXDE and what is available in the Repositories, I feel the same problem could arise in wattOS.

So, if anyone encounters a similar problem, then, take a look at the following topic.

Broadband USB Modem not switching to modem mode

Hasta luego, Michael.

wattOS R8 / Update Manager - Safe Upgrade Dialogue
« on: October 02, 2014, 02:12:02 AM »
Hi Biff et al,

I'm in Post Installation phase for wattOS R8 LXDE 32-bit and documenting things as I go.

I've just opened the Update Manager, after running gksu-properties in Terminal to change su to sudo, and a dialogue window has been displayed which is asking me if I want to perform a Safe Upgrade.

What is the standard choice?

What happens when No is selected?

What happens when Yes is selected?

Is it better to use Synaptic and Mark all Upgradeable packages and then click the Apply button?

The PC I am installing on is not mine and will be mainly used by a girl who is 9 years old.

Which interface for Upgrading Packages would be most suitable for her?

Which interface is the most suitable for ensuring the proper installation of Updates/Upgrades?

Thanks, Michael.

wattOS R8 / Installer Summary checkbutton?
« on: October 01, 2014, 08:03:37 PM »
Hi Biff et al,

On the Installer Summary dialogue window, between the Quit Button and the Summary list, is a Check Box and to the right of it is a label or button with the text "checkbutton".

What is the purpose of th(is/ese) control(s)?

Thanks, Michael.

Tips and Tricks / Enabling Live USB Persistence with wattOS R8
« on: August 13, 2014, 02:20:52 AM »
Hi All,

Please add comments if you think the accuracy or clarity of these instructions need improvement.

My instructions are the result of reading the Debian Live Manual and the following page.

http://www.vleeuwen.net/2014/01/create-a-persistent-debian-live-usb-flash-drive

If you want to use wattOS R8 with Persistence on a Live USB Flash drive, the following will allow you to do so.

I was using a 2GB Flash Drive and I used GParted to partition it into 2 equal size partitions.

The First Partition was configured as follows:
Code: [Select]
Partition Type: Primary
File System:    FAT32
Flags:          boot, lba
The Second Partition was configured as follows:
Code: [Select]
Partition Type: Primary
File System:    ext4
Flags:
Label:          persistence

I used UNetbootin to install the ISO file for wattOS R8 to the First partition. I left the Parameter "Space used to preserve files across reboots (Ubuntu only)" set to 0.

In the root folder of the First partition, UNetbootin creates a file called syslinux.cfg which I edited as follows.

Code: [Select]
label unetbootindefault
menu label Default - Persistence
kernel /ubnkern
append initrd=/ubninit boot=live persistence config quiet

label ubnentry0
menu label Live - Persistent
kernel /live/vmlinuz
append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live persistence config quiet

Now, the Second partition needs to be configured for Persistence.

Open a Terminal with root permissions.

Enter the following commands.

Code: [Select]
mkdir /mnt/persistence
    The above command creates a folder called persistence within the folder /mnt.

Code: [Select]
mount /dev/sdd2 /mnt/persistence
    The above command mounts the Second partition to /mnt/persistence which will represent the root Folder of the Second partition.

Code: [Select]
cd /mnt/persistence
    The above command makes /mnt/persistence the active Folder.
   
Code: [Select]
echo / union > persistence.conf
    The above command creates the file persistence.conf, in the root Folder of the Second partiton, with the text "/ union" which allows Full Persistence to be achieved.

You can now use the USB Flash drive to activate wattOS R8 in Live mode with Persistence.

Hasta luego and good luck, Michael.

wattOS R8 / Add Local Repository to Synaptic?
« on: August 12, 2014, 10:46:18 PM »
Hi Biff et al,

I added a local software source to Synaptic after creating a Packages.gz file from .deb files I had previously downloaded.

I've also created a Release.gpg file.

Code: [Select]
Archive: stable
Component: main
Origin: Debian
Label: A la carte
Architecture: i386
When doing a Reload in Synaptic or using "apt-get update" in Terminal, there are still failures for Release, Translation-en_US and Translation-en.

There is nothing appearing in the Origin pane that represents my Local Repository.

When I try to install a package it is still attempting to retrieve it from the Internet.

Thanks, Michael.

wattOS R8 / Java Runtime - Insufficient Free Space in Live USB Environment
« on: August 08, 2014, 06:00:22 AM »
Hi,

There is insufficient free space in the Live USB Environment to install the Java Runtime packages.  >:(

What files can be deleted or how can the ISO be configured to increase the available free space?

Thanks, Michael.

wattOS R8 / MATE - mozo - Menu Editor - Not Opening
« on: August 04, 2014, 02:30:09 AM »
Hi Biff et al,

I think I am experiencing similar problems as with alacarte in the LXDE version.

mozo is included in the ISO but when I run it as guest or sudo I get the following response.

Code: [Select]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mozo", line 22, in <module>
    from Mozo.MainWindow import MainWindow
ImportError: No module named Mozo.MainWindow
The following observations may also be related.

Right-clicking on Applications and then clicking on the Edit Menus does not open any window.

System/Preferences/Main Menu does not open any window.

Clicking on Main Menu in the Control Center does not open any window.

I'm only guessing here (still a Linux newbie) but are these issues anything to do with Permissions in the Live USB environment?

Thanks, Michael.

Feedback and Suggestions / Download page suspended for LXDE R8
« on: July 27, 2014, 06:17:46 PM »
Hi,

I tried to download the 64-bit version of LXDE R8 today and a page was displayed indicating some kind of suspension of the hosting account.

http://www.extantpc.com/iso/wattOS-R8-LXDE64.iso

Tried the BitTorrent but it was VERY slow.

Thanks, Michael
