Version 3.6 now features the -m option, which allows you to change your /etc/apt/sources.list by selecting from any of the official debian mirrors worldwide before the main parts of the script runs.
When you start the script with -m, like this:
du-fixes-h2.sh -m
you will see a list of all the currently available debian country mirrors. Select the right number, and your sources.list will be updated automatically, then the script will go on to the main upgrade.
<update>The script will now give the source selection option the first time it runs, which will let the users select their prefered debian apt mirrors. After that you'll need to use the -m option when starting the script if you want to change your source mirrors in /etc/apt/sources.list.
You can put any options you like together, like this: du-fixes-h2.sh -mek |

Version 3.7 is now out, this one features many many subtle fixes, semi bug fixes, scripting error and syntax fixes, flow errors, subtle to not so subtle useability issues pointed out to me by various people [thanks Swyndla], etc, and more code hacks to help in my ongoing battle to get the code into a reasonably coherent condition for long term maintainance.
But the biggest change is that now the script is redone internally to be able to handle all future kanotix releases in a much more standardized way. Currently, except for maybe changing the script's 2006-01 kanotix search strings, the script is ready and waiting for 2006-1 to be released, whenever the kanotix team decides 2006-1 is truly stable and ready.
Now all fixes etc that are version dependent are controlled by a single variable, which lets me turn off version dependent fixes very easily when they are no longer required by subsequent versions. And in fact, many of the current fix option will now not be offered at all when 2006-1 users use the script, since those fixes will of course be included in 2006-1.
I was going to implement this version testing method for easter, but because too much time passed between easter rc1 and easter rc4, it wasn't technically possible to do that safely, but now that 2006-1 is somewhere around the corner, I figured it was best to deal with this now. |

That is a good script! Just installed EasterRC4 fresh today, and that sorted everything out - you are a genius!
When is the next stable coming out - it seems way overdue! Its not really Easter anymore is it.... |

kernel update problem:
i installed a box of a friend yesterday with easter rc4 and used the du-fixes-h2.sh script. he uses a rt2500 wireless card. after a kernel update with the du-script it stopped working, because the script didn't install the rt2500 modules.
the kernel update function of andreas loibl's kanotix update gui prompts for and installs all available kernel modules.
did i do something wrong or is that function missing in the du-fixes script? |

Yes, it's semimanual install.
If you restart the script after rebooting from kernel install, and there is no internet connection present, it will give you options to install madwifi or ndiswrapper. I have been reluctant to add features I can't test myself, and since the only wireless I have is in the kernel already, I can't really test any other modules.
I am told that currently the script restart install of madwifi / ndiswrapper works fine though.
It's not a problem to put more options in though for modules, those were just the ones that were requested. I guess I could also add the option to install all modules as well, if required, although to be honest I'd prefer not to, since I don't like cluttering things up unnecessarily, especially when only one of those modules is required. |

Version 3.8.0 now supports installation of the following wireless modules:
at76c503a
ipw3945
linux-wlan-ng
madwifi
ndiswrapper
rt2500
rt2570
rt61
You will only see this list when you restart the script and have no internet connection. Please be patient as the connection testing proceeds, when no connection is detected, it will try to restart networking first, then if that fails, it will offer the option to install wireless modules.
I may have missed one or two of the avialable modules in the kernel package. If I did, please give me their names and I'll add them.
Please note: this will only work if you used the script to install the kernel, otherwise it doesn't know where the kernel unpack directory is.
THE SCRIPT DOES NOT KNOW WHICH MODULE YOU NEED, SO PLEASE HAVE THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO YOURSELF BEFORE YOU INSTALL A NEW KERNEL IF YOU USE WIRELESS.
Script also now has the wodim cdrom/dvdrom burning fix. This runs after the dist-upgrade stuff is finished, it's automatic, you won't really see it, it's a simple fix, and resolves the cd/dvd burning issues created by the new wodim burning application. |

h2, at the end of the script, if you have already done whatever option 4 is, it doesn't show up. This is fine, except that pressing 8 to install graphic drivers then does what 9 was meant to and exits the script.
If you need more details let me know, I am not in Kanotix right now so cannot check if thats it right this moment....
Excelletn script though - should definatly be on the next CD release! |

I can confirm this as I was going to post this very error.
When you get to the 'Miscellaneous tweaks and hacks' section, the option to continue in the green text is actually the option to quit. That aside, the script is working wonderfully and I commend you on a fantastic tool! |

Thanks h2 and again, thanks for the great script.
I've been tinkering quite a bit over the last couple of weeks (as we all do) and I've used your script around 5 times, each instance on a fresh install of rc-4; every time it's gone without a hitch. Kudos. |

version 3.9.x now installs the new kanotix penguin graphics, for grub [including grub fixes], default background, new ksplash the first time you run the script.
It also backs up your old grub graphic to /boot/message.old, and your old kanotix ksplash. You should be able to select which ksplash you want in the kde control center, appearances, splash screen, the new or the old. Default is now the new: KanotixClouds. The old is renamed to KanotixOriginal if you preferred that one.
This backup stuff will only work if you have not done a dist-upgrade since the new kanotix graphics packages came out a few days ago.
It also gives you the option to start/stop the new boot/shutdown splashy thing. This is not the blue penguin stuff in grub/background etc, it replaces the default text start/shutdown output with a penguin graphic and a moving progress bar.
These fixes are based on Kano's kanotix graphics fix script, by the way, though modified a bit to make some parts optional, and to backup other parts. |

Added the fontconfig fix that is found in irc under !fonts
This fix is available in the fonts fixing options you see after the du finishes.
Only use this if you get the font cache errors. The cause of this is bad /etc/fonts files, and hte fix simply removes that, reinstalls the fontconfig items, then reconfigures them.
Only, again, use this is if you accidentally said 'n', keep /etc/fonts/fonts.conf when new fontconfig stuff was installed during du, and then you get those font cache errors. Most users will not need this. Also added opera keyring install. |

Guten Tag h2, danke schon for great script ...
will the fontconfig fix solve my problem ? I have posted it in the English forum General Topics:
ttf-opensymbol -- problem with dist-upgrade of Kanotix-64
My system is running fine, but ttf-opensymbol is not fully installed or removed
I keep getting a lot of messages ending in "failed to write cache" for all fonts when apt tries to install or remove ttf-opensymbol.
Thanks for help

If you did a dist-upgrade today, and your openoffice.org now does not work, the script now has a post-dist-upgrade fix option that will restore your OOo to working order by uninstalling your current version and replacing it with the testing version.
If you already did a du today and your OOo is broken, use this fix, but otherwise just wait for the OOo warning to be lifted before dist-upgrading again. Unless you don't really care about using the testing version of Ooo, then just do du as normal, and run the fix after the du.
Script now also has the option to restore your initscripts configuration file to new version if you accidentally answered 'n' instead of 'y' to that question during du.
Make sure to read the du-fixes-h2.sh warning section carefully by the way, you can avoid headaches that way. |
