Improve linuxrc/rescue system
a project by aginies
Updated over 5 years ago. 5 hacker ♥️.

**Rescue system** has a lot of options , but most of them can only be set at boot time, first idea is too provide a way to configure them while the system is running.

# some ideas * user friendly interface (dialog box) -> ALREADY AVAILABLE in linuxrc, need some changes ? * autoprobe modules with blacklist -> ALREADY AVAILABLE in linuxrc at boot time * localisation -> ALREADY AVAILABLE in linuxrc * keyboard layout -> ALREADY AVAILABLE in linuxrc * easy mount scripts * VLAN support -> [pull request](https://github.com/openSUSE/linuxrc/pull/2) ![vlan](http://guibo.com/~guibo/opensuse/vlan_enable_disable.jpg) ![vlanid](http://guibo.com/~guibo/opensuse/vlanid.jpg) * auto select external mirror and path to install system -> [pull request](https://github.com/openSUSE/linuxrc/pull/1) ![auto install](http://guibo.com/~guibo/opensuse/auto_http.jpg) - - - # stage2 with more features * short documentation available * provide more tools: ddrescue, partimage, Common FS tools (FS supported in SLES11), test disk, easy mount scripts, FS Archiver, Clone tools, rsync * RPM support: full read/write RPM support * share files over network (samba, nfs) * network tools: ssh server, nslookup, proxy support * get hardware information

    FizzBuzz OS by mssola

    Project Description

    FizzBuzz OS (or just fbos) is an idea I've had in order to better grasp the fundamentals of the low level of a RISC-V machine. In practice, I'd like to build a small Operating System kernel that is able to launch three processes: one that simply prints "Fizz", another that prints "Buzz", and the third which prints "FizzBuzz". These processes are unaware of each other and it's up to the kernel to schedule them by using the timer interrupts as given on openSBI (fizz on % 3 seconds, buzz on % 5 seconds, and fizzbuzz on % 15 seconds).

    This kernel provides just one system call, write, which allows any program to pass the string to be written into stdout.

    This project is free software and you can find it here.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    • Better understand the RISC-V SBI interface.
    • Better understand RISC-V in privileged mode.
    • Have fun.

    Add a machine-readable output to dmidecode by jdelvare

    Description

    There have been repeated requests for a machine-friendly dmidecode output over the last decade. During Hack Week 19, 5 years ago, I prepared the code to support alternative output formats, but didn't have the time to go further. Last year, Jiri Hnidek from Red Hat Linux posted a proof-of-concept implementation to add JSON output support. This is a fairly large pull request which needs to be carefully reviewed and tested.

    Goals

    Review Jiri's work and provide constructive feedback. Merge the code if acceptable. Evaluate the costs and benefits of using a library such as json-c.
