SystemRescueCd

@sdrubble yes, it is real quiet here. I try to help on topics i know about. Some questions are so special that they need costly testing to answer. Sysrcd is also a favor for me. Sometime i have to use old versions because actual versions don't work on legacy hardware or things are dropped. There are...

Type wizard and press enter where you typed startx.

wizard is a wrapper for startx

Just boot to the default textmode or boot framebuffer at the boot menu.
Enter then wizard at the shell prompt.

Gernot

You can check the devices using the minishell.
Minishell have many tools like mount, dmesg and vi to investigate what is going on.

Many strange boot problems are depending USB3 chipsets or devices.

One problem is that we have two different boot systems. syslinux for Bios and a basic grub for UEFI. Speak you about grub or syslinux. I write for syslinux: It is possible to set the option "boot from first hard disk" as default after a timeout. So a "operator" can boot the sysrc...

we should enable binary files in copyfilefct_basic. Bad coded/binary files are copied this way. def copyfilefct_basic(src, dest): if os.path.isfile(src): dstfile=open(dest, 'wb') dstfile.write(open(src,'rb').read()) dstfile.close() os.chmod(dest, 755) return 0 else: return -1 I dont know if it makes...

subprocess.run did not work, but i found a other solution. Also the split is removed.

Yes i know about the space problem, but wanted to keep the script changes as small as possible.

A question to native python users:
Popen stores the output streams. Should we close p after reading stream and returncode?

This in not the only problem.
I tried something and found that also opening the pidfile as textfile "wt" help.

The main problem is that "commands" is removed in python3
I tried to substitute it with "subprocess" but i have problems with it.

Gernot

Now i get an other error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/autorun", line 213, in <module> lockfile.write(str(os.getpid())) TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface Just remove /run/autorun.pid and start autorun again to see the message. The first time the s...

I get a error message with x86-5.0.1-beta007 : "/etc/init.d/autorun restart" show this: File "/usr/sbin/autorun", line 129 search_autoruns(autorunmnt, ar_autoruns, copyfilefct_basic) ^ TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation * ERROR: autorun failed to start G...
