Improve linuxrc/rescue system
a project by aginies
Updated over 6 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

    pudc - A PID 1 process that barks to the internet by mssola

    Description

    As a fun exercise in order to dig deeper into the Linux kernel, its interfaces, the RISC-V architecture, and all the dragons in between; I'm building a blog site cooked like this:

    • The backend is written in a mixture of C and RISC-V assembly.
    • The backend is actually PID1 (for real, not within a container).
    • We poll and parse incoming HTTP requests ourselves.
    • The frontend is a mere HTML page with htmx.

    The project is meant to be Linux-specific, so I'm going to use io_uring, pidfs, namespaces, and Linux-specific features in order to drive all of this.

    I'm open for suggestions and so on, but this is meant to be a solo project, as this is more of a learning exercise for me than anything else.

    Goals

    • Have a better understanding of different Linux features from user space down to the kernel internals.
    • Most importantly: have fun.

    Port OTPClient to GTK >= 4.18 by pstivanin

    Project Description

    OTPClient is currently using GTK3 and cannot easily be ported to GTK4. Since GTK4 came out, there have been quite some big changes. Also, there are now some new deprecation that will take effect with GTK5 (and are active starting from 4.10 as warnings), so I need to think ahead and port OTPClient without using any of those deprecated features.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    • fix the last 3 opened issues (https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/402, https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/404, https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/406) and release a new version
    • continue the rewrite from where we left last year
    • if possible, finally close this 6 years old issue: https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/123
