BURG on Arch Linux

sand_man · 2010-08-24 06:05:39

No need to cross post.

Works beautifully btw. I just tried it in a virtual machine. I'm going to go home and install it replacing grub2

@cruznick: Congratulations !! Nice work ! I'll give it a try if I find some time !

@sandman / @flamelab : I'm glad you like it

fold does not work, i press f and it refreshes the screen, no folding

also, awesome avatar cruznick

edit1: Debian works, I think it's the lack of --group from the Arch entries that's causing the problem.

edit2: Yes, it seems to be the lack of --group from the menu entries. Here is what I changed in 10_linux,

@63
-  printf "menuentry \"${title}\" ${CLASS} {\n" "${os}" "${version}"
+  printf "menuentry \"${title}\" ${CLASS} --group group_${GRUB_DEVICE} {\n" "${os}" "${version}"

edit3: 30_os-prober depends on os-prober

Thanks for notice it i have to admit that the 10_linux script is a hack from the one provided by grub2 pkg that i continue working on because the one coming in burg source doesn't even recognize arch I'll fix it in a few hours I'm i work righ now so if you have any other corrections for the script are welcome and also I think I'll ad os-prober as a optdepend because it's no really neede if you have only arch also working on memtest section any idea are welcome

edit 1 :I found the avatar searching for some roms for snes and i get in love when I see it XD
edit 2 : memtest is being kind of complicated XD

I've added a PKGBUILD that includes three themes: fortune, vitruvio and Autumn-Refined.

cruznick · 2010-08-25 04:34:35

Well I have updated the PKGBUILD thanks fsckd for helping with the folding issue and added memtest86+ support also a changelog because i want to add lvm support in a close future here I let you the change log

2010-09-24 cruznick <cruznick@archlinux.us>

    *PKGBUILD Changelog 0.1
    Well I have implemented some fixes 
    so that it could be posible too 
    run without any more fixing.
    
    10_linux script fixed:
    now folding for Archlinux boot
    entries is working (Thanks to fsckd for the help)

    20_memtest86+ for memtest config:
    Script added so now if you have 
    memtest86+ you can run it from burg
    
    Also added os-prober and memtest86+
    as optional depends
    
    Hope you like this PKGBUILD

edit1: thanks fsckd for the themes I will add some in this days including one I'am working on

If you are talking about settings burg's resolution press 'r' on burg.

Thanks XD I think my PKGBUILD have kind of a hit XD but well in the wiki part of other oss recongnition the program that does that is os-prober also i think you can add that memtest86 its also included in the pkgbuild as fsckd said before whell i think thats the only thinks that are important I want to make some changes if you don't mind to the wiki XD and thanks again for using my pkgbuild

I didn't try os-prober, i am planning to try and write about it after trying. But if there is someone already tried and volunteer to write, please go on

Edit: os-prober in AUR is out-of-date and doesn't build.

Take a look at last few comments on os-prober AUR page, there is a link for an updated PKGBUILD.
As for os-prober and burg, once you install it it works out of the box.
All that needs to be done is to recreate burg.cfg with burg-mkconfig -o /boot/burg/burg.cfg .

no, not burg resolution. after we choose to boot arch, then console/shell show up but only on low resolution 640x480. kdm & kde have correct resolution

here's my config, /etc/default/burg

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=8
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Arch`
GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x800
#GRUB_GFXMODE_LINUX=1280x800
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" vga=0x03b8"
#GRUB_LINUX16=true
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
GRUB_GFXMODE=saved
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true"
GRUB_THEME=saved
GRUB_FOLD=saved

and /boot/burg/burg.cfg
http://pastebin.com/ACYNseRi
please ignore menuentry "Mac OS X", it's actually win xp

Thanks,

cruznick · 2010-08-27 17:09:28

I think you should enable Kms also 1280x800 gives me problems i also have that resolution i think you should use this one in your /etc/default/burg

GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32

Edit 1: the resolution should go in burg.cfg too

### BEGIN /etc/burg.d/00_header ###
set theme_name=burg
set gfxmode=1024x768x32

I use Fbsplash and for vga I use this one you should search wich one it supported by your card

vga=0x0318

That just hangs.

+1 for me. None of the threads shemz posted seem to contain info that helps...

Either of the following commands hang for me:

# burg-mkconfig -o /boot/burg/burg.cfg
# burg-install /dev/sda

I too would like the answer to this question...

dunz0r · 2010-11-14 14:46:26

Can't grub2 already do this, with backgrounds and crap?

graysky · 2010-11-14 16:07:16

@dun - it's susposed to but I've never been able to get it working properly. This package has support for more sophisticated visualizations.

@all - Has anyone on x86_64 been able to run this package? I'm on x86_64 and noticed that after the ./autogen.sh step it will build an i386-pc platform... could this be causing my problem?

BURG will be compiled with following components:
Platform: i386-pc
With memory debugging: No
efiemu runtime: Yes
grub-fstest: Yes
grub-mkfont: Yes

Also, there are a ton of warnings that flash by about genmk.rb

genmk.rb:375: warning: shadowing outer local variable - util
genmk.rb:376: warning: shadowing outer local variable - program

See the complete log here: http://pastebin.com/CnuZ7XaX

I didn't have any problems with building of this package (i686). But I would like to know is there a way to set the framebuffer resolution for console (like VGA=795 in grub)? It is easy to change the burg resolution, but I didn't find the way to change framebuffer resolution for console.

graysky · 2010-11-14 20:14:24

Got it! It's the 'noexec' flag in my /etc/fstab for /tmp!

none /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,nodiratime,noatime,noexec,size=2000M,mode=1777 0 0
