[solved] refractainstaller on non-refracta

Postby nadir » Wed Nov 02, 2011 7:24 am

tried to use refractainstaller on dyne:bolic, but i failed (several reasons).
I can't install the deb.

If i use the plain bash-file, what else do i need to create?

hint: i spoke to them in something like irc (hinezumi.im), and they are searching for something like an installer (not desperately, as no one is really interested, but some users asked for the feature...)

You could get away with just the installer script - use either refractainstaller for the cli version, or refractainstaller-gui. There's code in both to create an excludes file if /usr/lib/refractainstaller/installer_exclude.list does not exist, or you could edit the rsync_excludes variable inside the script to point to a different location. If it doesn't work, show me the error log.

Here are the deps:
Code: Select all
         bash (>=4.1),
         rsync (>=3.0),
         sed (>=4.2),
         grep (>=2.6),
         coreutils (>=8.5),
         e2fsprogs (>=1.41.12),
         mount (>=2.17.2),
         util-linux (>=2.17.2),
         grub-pc | grub-legacy,
         gparted (>=0.7.0),
         zenity (>=2.30.0),
         refractainstaller-base (>= 9.0.1),
         gksu (>= 2.0.2-5)
(note: gksu is only needed to use the .desktop file)

Thanks.
Something like what you said is what i did.
(as it is in Vbox i first had to boot refracta, upload the files -installer and excludes-, boot dyne:bolic in vbox, download the files, and edited installer-script to point to the excluldes list).

got the same failure again (from error.log):
after: mke2fs 1.4.1.9 ; it says:
tee /dev/fd/63 no such file (huh?)

So i checked /target, and it contains a lot of files, which look to me like the files you usually find at /dev.

Will try to solve it, but it will take a bit (Vbox is slow, the display is at a very little setting, download the files....). The good thing is that it makes me look at the code/script again, which looks quite amazing, btw :-)

I used refractainstaller (cli) instead of refractainstaller-gui, and that worked.
Might be it is this one:
https://github.com/fsmithred/refracta/b ... ainstaller
(i booted in VBox refracta, uploaded, booted the live-CD, downloaeded, so am not that sure if it exactly that version. I also edited the script, but if i recall correct all i did was adding some comments, adding an "exit 0", test, remove "exit 0" again... Stuff like that).

"it's hacktive" (lol):

cool.
Very happy.

For the cli installer
Code: Select all
refractainstaller -v
will tell you the version that you're using.
