Release Notes: sidux 2010-01

Contributed by slh on Jun 13, 2010 - 10:18 PM

Now that KDE 4.4.4 and kernel 2.6.34 have entered the archive, we have the pleasure to announce the immediate availability of the final sidux 2010-01 "Ύπνος" release, shipping in the following flavours:

* KDE-lite, amd64, en/ de, ≈625 MB.
* KDE-lite, i686, en/ de, ≈620 MB.
* KDE-full, amd64+i686, en/ de (bg, da, el, es, fr, hr, hu, it, ja, nl, pt, pt_BR, ro, ru through liveapt) ≈2.2 GB.
* XFCE, amd64, en/ de, ≈520 MB.
* XFCE, i686, en/ de, ≈515 MB.

sidux is a full featured Debian sid based live CD with a special focus on hard disk installations, a clean upgrade path within sid and additional hardware and software support. The ISO is completely based on Debian sid, enriched and stabilized with sidux' own packages and scripts.
Release notes for Ύπνος

While waiting for the availability of KDE 4.4.x, "Ύπνος" development concentrated on overhauling the early boot sequence for live- and installed system in regards to concurrent dependency based booting and the integration of kernel 2.6.34. sidux now uses CONCURRENCY=makefile and continues to embrace grub2 on the installed system, with isolinux and an improved gfxboot theme on the live system. KDE based ISOs can now make use of partitionmanager instead of gparted.

While grub2 offers increased flexibility for installations, like supporting new filesystems (ext4) or advanced installation options like LVM2 and improved detection capabilities for other distributions and operating systems, right now it is limited to a textmode menu. A new theming effort is currently under development and will be available in the future. Even though support for plain wallpapers would be already supported by grub2, it is still fragile and prolongs the system boot. Internally the configuration system for grub2 uses scripts snippets under /etc/grub.d/ to create its configuration file "grub.cfg" in a way that allows many self updating features, such as automating fromiso support with the help of "grub2-fll-fromiso" (optional).

With isolinux supporting gfxboot, it is also possible to use isohybrid, which allows writing an ISO directly to USB storage or sd/ sdhc/ mmc memory sticks to make these bootable. isohybrid adds an MBR to the ISO and sets up a partition table with one active entry, the partition containing the ISO. Further partitions can be added to allow access to the unused part of the storage device.

It is also possible to network boot from network block devices (NBD), as well as fromiso/ fromhd systems on LVM2 volumes. Further information about NBD support is available under FAQ.

Kernel 2.6.34 doesn't only improve and stabilise hardware support for newer devices, it also allows enabling KMS (kernel based modesetting) for ATi Radeon and Intel graphic chipset and supports DRI, as well as and basic 3d support for ATi Radeon graphics cards up to the HD4xxx series (r6xx/ r7xx, hints for installing the required firmware are available at non-free sources and drivers). Special attention has been given to wlan support for RaLink rt28x0/ rt30xx, as well as Atheros AR9271 devices, such as several staging wireless drivers.

As usual, a large number of individual functionality enhancements and bugfixes have been applied to the full package line up and sidux' own packages, in order to improve the general distribution infrastructure.

Our special thanks go to the sidux art team and especially all mirror hosters for their efforts regarding sidux. In particularly our thanks go to the Hetzner Online AG for upgrading the server hardware of sidux.com. Following this we would like to welcome the mirror hosted by Cybermirror in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Frequently asked questions
Installation

It is recommended to set keymaps, locales and timezone before booting the live system to be installed, by selecting them from the boot menu [F2], [F3]. This way, locale settings propagate to all required places for the installed system and don't require cumbersome changes at several places.

Since sidux 2009-04 "Μόρος", it is also possible to write sidux ISOs directly to USB storage devices of sdhc memory cards in addition to the well known possibility of using "install-sidux-to-usb" (install-usb-gui). This option is particularly useful if there is no existing sidux installation available and if an installation medium needs to be created from another distribution or operating system. It is important to note that this method overwrites the whole USB medium and restricts the available storage to the size of the sidux ISO; install-usb-gui is not subject to these limitations and therefore the recommended option in case an existing sidux system is available.

cat /path/to/sidux-*.iso > /dev/USB_raw_device_node

Further information about the sidux install is available from the sidux manual at Installation options.
Network booting sidux

Starting with sidux 2009-04 "Μόρος", network booting over PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) and NBD (Network Block Device) is supported, the required settings can be configured from within the boot menu [F4]. Instructions about how to set up an example PXE+NBD boot server can be obtained at sidux netboot introduction.
Localisation

A special feature of kde-full releases is the ability to select all other languages than German or US English from the grub menu (F4), which automatically installs localisations for the desktop and many applications while booting. This ensures they are also present after installing sidux, while only installing the required languages for the given system. The amount of memory required for this feature depends on the language and sidux may refuse to install the given language packs automatically with insufficient RAM and the boot sequence will be continued in english language but with the desired locales-settings (currency, date/ time format, keyboard charsets). 1 GB memory or more is supposed to be safe for all supported languages, which are:

* Bulgarian
* Danish
* Dutch
* English (GB, AU)
* Greek
* French
* Hungarian
* Italian
* Japanese
* Croatian
* Polish
* Portuguese (BR and PT)
* Romanian
* Russian
* Spanish
* the language selection depends on the availability of sidux-manual translations, get involved to add your language.

Hints for hardware with non-free needs:

sidux contains only dfsg free software, so you'll probably want to add contrib/ non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list and ensure internet access.

# See sources.list(5) for more information, especially
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
# CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.

Hints for Upgraders:

sidux tries hard to provide seamless upgrade path for debian and sidux' own packages, nevertheless a few things remain that could be improved with manual interaction.
crda

The new regulatory domain framework for cfg80211 based wlan cards requires crda to allow access to wireless channels above ch11 (2.4 GHz or their 5 GHz equivalents), without crda only the "world domain" (channel 1-11) is available. Previous hacks using module parameters ("ieee80211_regdom={US,EU,JP}") are no longer available and prevent cfg80211 from loading, please remove possible module-init-tools overrides ("grep -R ieee80211_regdom /etc/modprobe.d/" to find them) manually.

# apt-get update
apt-get install crda

Timezone settings

Older versions of tzdata (as present in previous sidux versions) didn't record and set the timezone correctly, please reconfirm and select your current timezone – even if it appears to work – through:

# dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

nouveau

X.org in Debian prefers xserver-xorg-video-nouveau over xserver-xorg-video-nv since xorg 1:7.5+6, which unfortunately can't be supported by sidux until it leaves the staging section and gains a stable ABI between kernel- and userspace. Therefore we recommend users of nvidia graphics cards to purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, so xserver-xorg-video-nv — which doesn't suffer from incompatible ABI changes — can take precedence again.

# apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

We will offer nouveau support as soon as it can be done in a responsible way.
Obsolete packages

As part of the continuing development of sidux, a number of packages have been replaced by better alternatives or become redundant.

* grub-gfxboot
Although grub2 is used in place of grub-gfxboot on new installs, grub-gfxboot remains to be actively supported at least until the release of Debian 6.0 "squeeze". Manually switching the bootloader should only be sonsidered by experienced administrators for the time being and it is recommended to test this procedure following the manual inside a virtual machine first. The upgrade from grub-gfxboot to grub2 of existing installs will only be suggested in future releases.

The following command is able to find packages not available from any active apt repository and may hint at obsolete packages, be careful about manually installed packages though. apt-show-versions is a separate package and isn't necessarily preinstalled.

$ apt-show-versions | awk '/No available version in archive/{print $1}'

Para quem curte Debian e no entanto, quer pacotes atualizados e novíssimos, Sidux é uma grande Distro.

Sidux é o Debian SID, mas onde não precisa ser gênio da Informática para mante-lo funcionando!

São muitas possibilidades, acho que vou ter que comprar outro PC, Arch Linux, Debian, Ubuntu numa máquina, inúmeros bichos, digo, distros no VirtualBox, mas........ ainda assim:

Com a minha net ociosa, vou botar pra baixar a versão XFCE e ver no que dá!!!

Valeu!

Clodoaldops,

Embora em se tratando de GRUB2 não seja conveniente fazer afirmações muito fortes, já que tanto Ubuntu como sidux estão usando a versão mais atual, não deveria haver problemas e o GRUB2 de um deveria reconhecer devidamente o do outro durante a etapa de configuração e detecção. Se fosse com o Grub Legacy, já não poderiamos dizer o mesmo pois seriam grandes as possibilidades de que isto não ocorresse.
