Automation Linux distributive of the project OpenSCADA Mar 2012 Implemented in these repositories of the Automation Linux distributive and these Live Builds are provided now for the branch Work and LTS: Roman Savochenko AutoDistr-ico.png
Description
The Automation Linux distributive of the project OpenSCADA representing and building different ready solutions about the automation from Automated Working Places (AWP), operator panels, servers, Developer Working Places and up to PLC and some other embedded solutions, also as the result Live/Install/Service Disks of the ACS TP projects. Currently based on the Debian Linux.
  • Debian 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7:
PROPERTIES:
  • Architectures: x86_64, x86_32
  • Booting to: Live OpenSCADA; Live OpenSCADA (filesafe); Live OpenSCADA for other languages "Ukrainian", "German", "mRussian"; Start installer; Start installer with speech synthesis; Advanced installer mode (Install, Expert install, Automated install, Rescue mode) for the Graphical installer, Text installer, Graphical installer with dark theme, Text installer with dark theme and Installer with speech synthesis; Utilities Hardware Detection Tool (HDT) and Memory Diagnostic Tool (memtest86+).
  • User data storing into the EXT-partition "persistence".
  • Live Disk properties: OpenSCADA; TDE; All Linux kernel firmwares also non-free for most drivers "from the Box"; GParted and other partition management tools.
TESTED ON: Virtual Box, Intel Core i7-5600U, AMD A8-6500 APU, AMD Phenom II X4 900e, Intel Core i3 CPU U 380, Intel Atom N270, P3, K6-2 (only for 7)
KNOWN ISSUES:
FIX => The problem is a disadvantage of the memory allocation arenas linked to threads, which causes to such sort inter-arenas memory fragmentation on high dynamic using, what recreates the threads. As a workaround there is globally used the environment variable MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=1 to set the arenas number to 1!
  • [10] PulseAudio is missing in KMix
FIX => KMix was made dynamic by the patch "kmix-UpdMixersForChangeAndChMaster.patch".
  • [>=9] Plymouth — the console starting splash images, locks the first screen of the console and does not stop with "systemd", so /var/boot.log grows indefinitely.
FIX[>=8] => TDM switched in the SDM mode then plymouth stops now after TDM start.
FIX => We need to append in the file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf for these lines:
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
FIX[9] => Resolved as a regression or the security level rising in wpasupplicant of the version 2.4 (or OpenSSL 1.1). Workaround by the downgrading to version 2.3.
FIX => Resolved as a bug of the video driver Radeon in enabling DPM by default. Workarounded by the Linux kernel argument "radeon.dpm=0" and that applied in task-tde-desktop 1.2-7 also for fixing in the installed systems from those Live Disks.
FIX => Officially fixed in Linux kernels version 5 and broken again in 6. :)
  • ALTLinux 6:
PROPERTIES:
TESTED ON: Virtual Box, Intel Core i7-5600U, AMD A8-6500 APU, Intel Core i3 CPU U 380, AMD Turion L625, Intel Atom N270
- creation own branding of the automation kind for: the Grub loader screen, the default wallpaper of the Desktop, the boot splash, ...

Of while for the project OpenSCADA was needed to create specialized builds of Linux environments kind of PLC-firmwares, Live/Install/Service Disks for Automated Work Places (AWP), Developer Working Place and rapid familiarization of the OpenSCADA program. In begin it was enough to use standard Linux package repositories, firstly it was ALTLinux and currently it is Debian. But, in a reason of the need of fixing, updating and rebuilding for some packages of the Linux distributive, there was created own repository of this packages together with the OpenSCADA packages.

Distributives-solutions:

The Debian Linux distributive in using of the author Roman Savochenko and for the Automation Linux distributive started from version 7 (Wheezy) into year 2014 as replacing of the previous packages base on ALTLinux.

The Automation Linux distributive as the package repositories is represented by Live/Install/Service Disks which are built by the Debian Live project. The procedure of creating the firmware from the Live-configuration is the following: 

# Cleaning up of the previous building data
lb clean --purge
# Building of the image
lb build

2 ALTLinux

Actuality: 2008...2014, used in the automatic builder for some solutions compatibility
Repositories:

Distributives (solutions):

The ALTLinux distributive was used by the author Roman Savochenko from version 3 and for the Automation Linux distributive it was been adapted from version 5.1. In year 2014 for the Automation Linux distributive and other there was started the process of moving to the Debian package base, mostly by reasons in the appendix.

The Automation Linux distributive as the package repositories is represented by PLC-firmwares and Live/Install/Service Disks which are built by the tool mkimage for creating the distributions of ALTLinux. mkimage is a tool for building Sisyphus-based system on basis of a template and as an initial set of templates there was taken the set of formation of ALTLinux distributions at "git://git.altlinux.org/people/boyarsh/packages/mkimage-profiles-desktop". The procedure of creating such firmwares from a template is the following: 

# Creation the configuration script "configure"
./autoconf
# Configuring the builder to generate the disk images
./configure --with-imagetype=flash
# Building of the image
make plc.cd

3 Trinity Desktop Environment (up to 14.1.4)

The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) project is a computer desktop environment for Unix-like operating systems with a primary goal of retaining the function and form of traditional desktop computers, as declared on the project site.

TDE is based on KDE3 and in year about 2010 it was founded by forking from the last official version KDE3 3.5.10 (2008.08.26) with trying to merge Qt3 with Qt4 by the tqtinterface, and that has been terminated now and the project is busy on re-branding both Qt3 and KDE3 to TDE with their "enhancing", that is creation new bugs and conservation old ones with factual throwing down the support of five (5) year old systems. In the main branding there was released the versions 3.5.11, 3.5.12 and 3.5.13 before Trinity(3) 14.

Roman Savochenko is building TDE packages starting from 2012 year, TDE 3.5.12-sru and for ALTLinux. So here are presented the packages of three branches where 3.5.13-sru only in ALTLinux, 14.1 and 14.0 only on Debian and they are actual ones now. [17.02.7533/04.2024] The actual (Debian) TDE-repository was mirrored completely in used parts by the project with resigning all those packages by the OpenSCADA key, and that was performed in folders TDE14.1 for versions >= 9 and TDE14.0 for < 9. That is together with patched packages, which were moved to TDE14.0 for old Debian versions.

All patches from this subproject have been appended to Bugzilla and/or Gitea of the TDE project, but from 01.10.7531/01.2024 the appending was terminated and all patches included right here with information in the followed table, that is there was created a partial fork with direction on fixing and stabilisation. That was decided due to many the patches were not accepted to the official repository and just lay there from 0.5 to 10 (TEN) years after turning the TDE team in highly authoritarian bunch with hard control the repository by a pair of just "roots knowledgers". Detailed Roman Savochenko activity in TDE(KDE3) you can see on the page.

The partial fork is based currently on patches, history of which you can trace from the followed table for new ones and from the table of building packages of the Debian section with their representation on the file server as a list of the source packages for different versions both Debians and the packages itself.

3.1 The World Calendar System

Counting the World Calendar System begins from 5508 before AD and was used on the SLOVISH-ANTIC territory before the jewi-arias occupation with that "Anno Domini" and Christianity (aria and now jewish). This Calendar System was used here in parallel up to XVIII century, so its was appended to TDE by the patches kcalendarsystem_World.patch in tdelibs-trinity and tdebase-trinity, initially in a simple form.

The Calendar System is Solar, years calculated from 5508 before AD, that is to the current year appended 5508, and from the current month number subtracted 2, due to the year is begin from Spring and not Winter. Reasons of the year beginning in Spring are:

  • original numbered months from Antics are started from modern March due to September is 7, October is 8, November is 9 and December is 10; that is the "jewi-arias' majesty" started naming the months from the Sun rise;
  • the last month of the year is February not December due to it has 28 or 29 days, that is placing one extra day per four years to compensate inequality of days in year;
  • AGE (or World) at Sun in Constellation is counted from Spring (spring equinox), that is now is the Pisces Constellation with moving to the Aquarius Constellation;
  • the years before AD by SLOVISH-ANTIC were counting in Summers (where Spring was just a part of Summer) due to the Life in Summer — litochiselnja (літочислення);
  • year by SLOVISH-ANTIC is called as RIK (РІК), that is also as river (РІКа), which is become new in Spring after ice;
  • carols of SLOVISH-ANTIC are singed on new year about birds arrival and grains sowing in warm ground for rich crop, what is obviously about Spring.

Names of months formed from the common SLOVISH (from SLOVE-WORD not SLAVE) and provided in the follow table:

Number Short name Full name

Additionally there was edited and continued in forming the holidays-anniversary file "holiday_ua" of Ukrainian for the primary SLOVISH-ANTIC ones and they are provided in the follow table:

Date (World) Name
1.1 Нова РІКа
8.1 День Пам'яті жертв геноциду PERuSSIAN — Пурім

15.9 Доля (Діди)
21.10 Корочун
14.12 Колодій

To enable the Calendar System you can in the Trinity Control Center go to "Regional & Accessibility" > "Country/Region & Language" > "Time & Dates" and select "World" in the "Calendar system".

Selecting the World Calendar System.

So, currently we have such interface:

Interface at the World Calendar System.

4 Appendix. VirtualBox

Starting from version 6.1 VirtualBox has got some problems with the video interface on Linux at least, which prevent of setting normal display resolution so OpenSCADA starting in normal resolution.

Commonly VirtualBox has now three Graphics Controllers allowed in selection for VM, that is: VBoxVGA, VMSVGA, VBoxSVGA.

Where VBoxVGA and VBoxSVGA are the original VirtualBox Graphics Controllers who need the own guest driver for true work and that driver is missing in the main repositories the modern Debian for the LiveDisks build. So, the LiveDisks start mostly with the "fbdev" video driver, which however worked fine till VirtualBox 6.1 and you could change the display resolution from default 800x600 one in the loaded system, reload and got need resolution. Now these Graphics Controllers are not recommended by VirtualBox and cause often to lose the keyboard and mouse keys in the all host system.

Where VMSVGA is the VMWare Graphics Controller for which there is used the standard video driver "vmware". The driver works stable but doesn't allow to obtain any other initial display resolution than 800x600, then any resolution change from the guest system causes of the DPI increasing at freeze physical geometry of the virtual display, so you will get of the interface uncontrollable scaling for OpenSCADA and other programs.

To force the virtual display resolution to bigger initial value you can use the guest system configuration file "00-virtualbox-monitor.conf", which you have to place in the folder /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. The configuration file is obtained from here!
