For those of you who still have install problems

Posted by Nelsongs (Developer)

There's a new little shell script (dlupdate3.3.sh) that you can use to generate a new updated Dreamlinux 3.3 iso.

To get and run the script just follow the instructions. It does all the rest automatically.


This is the routine for a fresh install:(Please read it fully before doing it)

1 - Boot Dreamlinux LiveCD

2 - Open Terminal and execute:

Code:

sudo wget http://www.ngsys.eti.br/pub/updates/DL3.0/dlupdate3.3.sh

3 -Make it executable with:

Code:

chmod 755 dlupdate3.3.sh.

4 - Then you run it simply by executing it this way:

Code:

sudo ./dlupdate3.3.sh.

- it will ask you to say where it can find the DL3.0,DL3.1 or DL3.2 iso file.
[You must provide the complete path to it.]
- it will ask where you want your new updated iso be generated. This can be any directory, including in other mounted partition.
- That's all it asks. It will automatically download the files dli.rb, fstab_create.rb and message.dream plus any other updated files, change their permissions, copy them to the right place, generate a new dreamstuff module and generate the final iso, that will be named DL3.3.iso in the directory you chose(selected).

Sorry but it doesnt work! 

I have got the information:

dreamer@DL:~$ sudo ./dlupdate3.3.sh

This script will update your Dreamlinux3 to the newest version.
The newest version fixes some installer bugs and adds new funcionalities
related to the creation of a portable version of Dreamlinux
that you can carry with you all the time, with 100% of persistence.

Be sure to use a partition with a minimum of 1.5 GB available

Running from Live session.

Inform the destination directory for your new iso (ex: /tmp or /mnt/sda12): /tmp

You've chosen /tmp as the destination for the new iso, to be based on your

please help!

Thanx a lot!

Hi manni,

I have received the same error message you mentioned on your post.

Then I started Terminal again and informed a linux partition on my hdd, I choose my Dreamlinux partition at /mnt/hda7.

At the end, the Dreamlinux iso was generated (DL3.3.iso, 699,3 MB) and I just have to burn it, boot and install.

Best regards,
André

Further explanation:
/tmp is somewhere in your RAM, as you are running from Live CD, you need to have a partition for saving the ISO; and if you do not have a second CD/DVD drive, you will have to reboot to burn it, or store it to an USB stick (easier, as you do not have to mess with writting permissions or search for it via manager; it just appears on your desktop)and carry it to the next working unit.

Hi, Richs , Hi, everybody!
I've just made the upgrade from 3.2 to 3.3 and installed it with much fun.
The install ran secure like in days of 2.2 - Version.
Also the installed windows xp was recognised and in bootmenu listed.
Some kind of unclear screen was solved by copy of earlier /etc/X11/xorg.conf .
I installed on my acer laptop with /home filled with many different users.
I made links to some directories of it and had some databases for music etc.
It worked fine till I added one user .
Suddely the links did not work any more and as I looked in /home there were no other users
as from present 3.3 DL generated.
I hope to find the dates again somewhere. That was my worst DL experience yet.

Before I updated my system and installed necessary packets.
If you need more Infos , ask me.

I hope, you test that thing to solve the problem in 3.4 and 3.5.
But I will have to change my way to backup my dates.
This shocks me. Can you explain to me, how this could happen ?
I did not format the home at install and could work until hours later useradd by dcp.
good luck

Is there anyone off you willing to share his (or her) upgraded DL 3.2 to 3.3 iso with me?
I'm very Linux-challenged (read incapable or even handicapped) if I may say so...
Please use an FTP-address for the sake of SPEED.

Hi Ruud,

Not only you, sometimes a little wrong / or space make things impossible. The script above did not run perfectly for me at first. I tried and this is the conclusion:

The DL3.3 iso generated by this script is not like an usual download of 700 MB. 

From start script to final iso generated it consumes less than 10 minutes: 3 mins connected to internet on a ADSL 600 (60 kbps when good) and 7 minutes to generate iso (I think any good P3 900Mhz 512Mb ram can do this in no more than 15 minutes).

DL3.3 iso is created using the live-cd you are running live (DL3.2 live-cd for me). The script add and modify its structure and generate a new iso on your hardisk or pendrive. The conditions are a partition with at least 1.5GB free space and linux filesystem (ext3, reiserfs etc) if hardisk.

After iso created you have to burn it and boot it. Sorry my lack of experience on pendrives options.

Below is the script with copy/paste method. The only part you have to answer is where the iso will be created. Check the place/partition where you want it, for example, if your live-cd see your Dreamlinux partition on /mnt/hda7, answer /mnt/hda7, sometimes it is not hda it is sda, so /mnt/sda7. You are free to choose any linux partition with enough room, Dreamlinux is an example and maybe you prefer an empty linux partition, go ahead.

Do not choose /tmp on this script. The /tmp is better when running from hardisks, this script is for live-cd, so...

Here you are:

1 - Boot Dreamlinux 3.2 LiveCD (3.0 or 3.1 seems to be the same)
2 - Connect to internet
3 - Verify where you want your new DL3.3 iso to be created (hda5, sda8, pendrive...)
4 - Open Terminal, copy/paste and hit enter:

Code:

sudo wget http://www.ngsys.eti.br/pub/updates/DL3.0/dlupdate3.3.sh

5 - Make it executable, copy/paste and hit enter: (no activity on terminal but yes it is executable after this)

Code:

sudo chmod 755 dlupdate3.3.sh

6 - Run the script, copy/paste and hit enter:

Code:

sudo ./dlupdate3.3.sh

This DL3.3 script will automactically stop and wait for your answer at this point:
Inform the destination directory for your new iso (ex: /tmp or /mnt/sda12):

Remember to not choose /tmp, so the answer should be (example):
Inform the destination directory for your new iso (ex: /tmp or /mnt/sda12): /mnt/hda7
or
Inform the destination directory for your new iso (ex: /tmp or /mnt/sda12): /mnt/sda7
or
your pendrive if you know how to manage it.

See what time is it and wait for no more than 15 minutes. At the end a DL3.3.iso with 699,3 MB will be generated where you pointed.

Thanks André;

I already knew this "How To", it was posted to me by Nelson himself.


What I really wanted/needed was an .iso-file from the upgrade to 3.3, thus meaning the effective DL-3.3 distro.
Not that I'm lazy (only just a bit), but just incapable of doing this thing right the way it should.


So I ask again: if anyone of you has this DL-3.3 iso-file, ready for distributing via ftp or http or torrent, please let me know where it resides.

Ruud

[andrepsb]

Ruud,

Alright.

I had prepared this correction to the topic howto because it has two errors on command line and not mentioned the impossibility to create iso on /tmp on live cd (this is possible when you are on hardisk, maybe pendrive), I was just correcting it.

With the 3.4 MR release so close, it's not worth it Ruud. Just wait a bit longer and get the 3.4.

Hi André & Rich;

Okay, I was being a bit too unpatient here...
I tested gOS as I wrote in another thread and planning to use the latest of the best, being DreamLinux.

Thanks to you both for your replies!

[faust_in_linux]

with the DL3.0 and your script, now I have the DL3.3   . But, before burn the iso.image I think it is necessary check its correction, ok. Please, have someone the DL3.3` md5sum?
The mine DL3.3.iso     md5sum ist: 57fa9b000f85b0627e1bd7d956d723c9     is it correct?

[SgDreamer]

AFAIK, my latest DL3.3.iso md5sum
70b81a5f4cb0778e32d2a475ba6e03b0

[SgDreamer]

@Richs

see what mean?

/caps AFAIK
turns into lowercase

doesn't look correct. doesn't look right

 

[faust_in_linux]

It is a big difference  . Can it be possible because a used a DL3.0 live-cd to boot and aply the script, and not a DL3.2 ?  I made it yesterday at more or less 23h...any new image after this time that can be the cause to this difference? Well, I will await a little before burn my new CD  . I could not install DL3.0 in this CP (AMD2 4200, 2 HD sata 320G, GForce 7300GT 512mB,2000MB ram Kingston,MB ASUS M2N-E SLI. Only work with live-cd! May be with the DL 3.4.
Thank you very much for your replay.
