Shall we all post our guess of what you are running?OK. Mac ? Posted by DImGR on Dec. 04 2004,16:51
linux debian Posted by cbagger01 on Dec. 05 2004,00:12
If I were you, I would unzip the file and then go into the directory and then try to run the dsl-linux.sh shell script.Never tried it myself, but that would be my first step. However, I don't think that the linux qemu executable is included with 0.9 embedded. Try downloading 0.84 embedded and give it a spin. Posted by DImGR on Dec. 05 2004,03:32
what have you tried ? Posted by cbagger01 on Dec. 05 2004,03:41
I run DSL embedded from my Windows XP OS.If I want to use DSL while running Linux, I boot DSL natively (IE: from CD or from bootable USB drive) and I don't bother using the PC Emulator Qemu whille running Knoppix, Peanut or some other Linux OS. But if I DID try to do it, I would follow the advice in my previous post. Posted by DImGR on Dec. 05 2004,15:56
there is no such script ls gehidore@gnortra gehidore $ ls /build/ SDL.dll dsl-windows.bat dsl.iso qemu.exe vgabios-cirrus.bin bios.bin dsl.img harddisk readme.txt vgabios.bin gehidore@gnortra gehidore $ Posted by roberts on Dec. 05 2004,18:14
I have just uploaded dsl-embedded-0.9.0.1.zip.It has both windows and linux versions of qemu and their associated startup scripts. This is still to be considered "preview" as qemu is under heavy development with many changes. Posted by DImGR on Dec. 06 2004,00:18
does the script run??unzip dsl-embedded-0.9.0.1.zip -d /home/dimgr/dsl Archive: dsl-embedded-0.9.0.1.zip inflating: /home/dimgr/dsl/readme.txt inflating: /home/dimgr/dsl/SDL.dll inflating: /home/dimgr/dsl/vgabios-cirrus.bin inflating: /home/dimgr/dsl/vgabios.bin inflating: /home/dimgr/dsl/dsl-linux.sh inflating: /home/dimgr/dsl/qemu inflating: /home/dimgr/dsl/dsl.iso inflating: /home/dimgr/dsl/bios.bin inflating: /home/dimgr/dsl/dsl-windows.bat inflating: /home/dimgr/dsl/harddisk inflating: /home/dimgr/dsl/qemu.exe dimgr@PenguinGR:~$ cd /home/dimgr/dsl dimgr@PenguinGR:~/dsl$ ls SDL.dll dsl-linux.sh dsl.iso qemu readme.txt vgabios.bin bios.bin dsl-windows.bat harddisk qemu.exe vgabios-cirrus.bin dimgr@PenguinGR:~/dsl$ dsl-linux.sh bash: dsl-linux.sh: command not found dimgr@PenguinGR:~/dsl$ sh dsl-linux.sh dsl-linux.sh: line 2: /home/dimgr/dsl/qemu: Permission denied dsl-linux.sh: line 2: exec: /home/dimgr/dsl/qemu: cannot execute: Success dimgr@PenguinGR:~/dsl$ su Password: root@PenguinGR:/home/dimgr/dsl# sh dsl-linux.sh dsl-linux.sh: line 2: /home/dimgr/dsl/qemu: Permission denied dsl-linux.sh: line 2: exec: /home/dimgr/dsl/qemu: cannot execute: Success Posted by roberts on Dec. 06 2004,02:37
Of course the script work. However, I can only test on what I have. 1. Booting from a DSL liveCD. 2. Downloading from ibiblio.org 3. md5sum -c dsl-embedded-0.9.0.1.zip.md5.txt Be sure it is OK 4. unzip dsl-embedded-0.9.0.1.zip 5. ./dsl-linux.sh Works fine. DSL running DSL. All permissions downloaded OK. Only possible area is paths. Be sure to "cd" into the directory and if it is not in your path then use ./dsl-linux.sh Posted by henk1955 on Dec. 06 2004,09:08
i have tried the same thing as DImGR and have the same result.this "problem" has bin since the first dsl-embed. it appears the files : dsl-linux.sh and qemu do not have the exe-bit set. i can be solved easy. add 1 line to dsl-embed.sh
and call it as: sh ./dsl-linux.sh or
then you call it as: dsl-linux.sh <edit> i just remebered. if you extract to a windows(fat) filesystem. ALL mod-bits are set. if you extract to a linux (ext2) filesystem NOT all m0d-bits are set so it is posible roberts and DImGR have different results on testing dsl-embeded. </edit> Posted by cbagger01 on Dec. 06 2004,13:24
My guess is that roberts has installed DSL-embedded on a USB drive (FAT file system) while everyone else is trying to install it to a native EXT2 partition on a hard drive or in the RAMdisk.

this works and starts dsl BUT the keyboard does not function as it should i press enter and it prints the letter T on screen.. and yes i am running it on a ext3 Posted by roberts on Dec. 06 2004,16:58
No. Actually, downloaded into /home/dsl the ramdisk. unzip in ramdisk. It is OK. Second test. download to ext2, unzip into ext2. It is OK. However, I am using DSL and the unzip program that is in DSL. Could it be the version of unzip that others are using? Normally I would not use zip. But lets be real this is primarily for Windows users and that is why I am using zip. If manually setting the perms is the answer then OK. But I still like to get to the bottom of these kinds of things. Can anyone else verify that running DSL using DSL's unzip works. I know I am exhausted from all the work that when into this release. But honsetly, this morning, I again verified that it works. Posted by DImGR on Dec. 06 2004,17:14
mine works with unzip on ext3. I followed the instructions 3 posts above this for my problem with the script and it worked with only 1 problem.the keybord acts crazy. i press enter it prints T ... Posted by henk1955 on Dec. 06 2004,19:37
i have:1. used dsl-0.8.4 emelfm "unzip in other panel" to /ramdisk/home/dsl: OK 2. used dsl-0.9.0.1 emelfm "unzip in other panel" to /ramdisk/home/dsl: OK 3. used dsl-0.8.4-remix emelfm "unzip in other panel" to /ramdisk/home/dsl: exe-bits not set. so there is no problem with the standard DSL. some how my enhanced dsl.0.8.4 (using apt-get) unzips the dsl-embed.zip in a different way. it looks like DImGR has simular problem with his debian install.

only problem is the way the keybord worksi cant type anythig Posted by AwPhuch on Dec. 07 2004,06:39
What do you mean?Brian AwPhuch Posted by DImGR on Dec. 08 2004,06:43
i mean that when i hit the enter key , in screen the letter T prints etc etc i hit K it prints A .... Posted by DImGR on Dec. 08 2004,14:46
ok more good news;i have set up embedded in 2 ways. first one on my hard drives ext3 and the second way on a usb thumbdrive with a fat partition when i cd in sda1 then run the script everything works fine. starting it from my hard drive though gives me problems such as the 1 i said above. one question though. HOw do exit embedded ? not restart or shut down the machnine just exit it. Also , when i minimized a window i could not find it back !?! Posted by cbagger01 on Dec. 08 2004,17:33
ALT-TAB should toggle you back to another X-Window if you have a typical window manager installed.Also, you could type: CTRL-ALT-2 to get to the QEmu console window. |
