The squeeze tarball is useless, simply clone the Git repository and follow the instructions on the wiki: <http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=d-i/babelbox.git;a=summary> <http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/BabelBox> The above works also OK on a KVM/libvirt installation: replace the three occurrences of sda in 00del_partition, babelbox-grub and cronscript. For wheezy, if you want to show GNOME 3 you need 3D, which means that you should probably also install one of the firmware-* packages. The following patch should be enough, tested on the Debian Events Box, but not yet on a VM (and I will polish it before committing...): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- diff --git a/preseed.cfg b/preseed.cfg index 2838d22..ac5a239 100644 --- a/preseed.cfg +++ b/preseed.cfg @@ -82,8 +91,7 @@ d-i lilo-installer/skip bollean true tasksel tasksel/first multiselect ## instead install a quite minimal GNOME setup and desktop-base (for spacefun theme) -d-i pkgsel/include string gdm3, gnome-session, gnome-icon-teme, desktop-base, -xserver-xorg-core, xserver-xorg-input-evdev, xserver-xorg-video-vesa, xserver-xorg +d-i pkgsel/include string alsa-base, alsa-utils, gdm3, gnome-session, gnome-icon-teme, desktop-base, xserver-xorg-core, xserver-xorg-input-evdev, xserver-xorg-video-vesa, xserver-xorg-video-fbdev, xserver-xorg-video-all, xserver-xorg, plymouth # Don't install popcon popularity-contest popularity-contest/participate boolean false diff --git a/preseed_early b/preseed_early old mode 100755 new mode 100644 index efb2074..f7ad297 --- a/preseed_early +++ b/preseed_early @@ -11,7 +11,4 @@ db_info babelbox/info || true mkdir -p /lib/partman/init.d cp /hd-media/srv/babelbox/00del_partition /lib/partman/init.d/ -apt-install alsa-base || true -apt-install alsa-utils || true - exit 0 diff --git a/preseed_late b/preseed_late old mode 100755 new mode 100644 index 708775c..7d9bffc --- a/preseed_late +++ b/preseed_late @@ -13,10 +13,20 @@ mount /dev/discs/disc0/part1 /hd-media -o remount,rw sed -i "s/^set default=.*$/set default=\"3\"/" /hd-media/boot/grub/grub.cfg +# Install extra packages, e.g. firmware needed for graphics cards +for I in $(find /hd-media/srv/babelbox/ -type f -name \*.deb -maxdepth 1 2>&1) ; do + cp -f "$I" /target/var/cache/apt/archives/ + chroot /target dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/$(basename "$I") +done if [ -d /target/etc/gdm3 ] ; then # Enable automatic login (chroot because of bug in busybox sed) chroot /target sed -i "/^\[daemon\]/a\AutomaticLoginEnable = true\nAutomaticLogin = debian" /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf fi +if [ -x /target/usr/sbin/plymouth-set-default-theme ] ; then + # Set default plymouth theme + chroot /target plymouth-set-default-theme spacefun + chroot /target dpkg-reconfigure plymouth +fi exit 0 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Please report your experience :-) Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
