- Resetter only needs two files to be compatible with a distro, the first is a stock manifest file, the second is the stock userlist. ResetterHelper doesn't need to be installed and can be run on a new system to generate those files.
- With the help of volunteers running this program on a stock debian based system and submitting their generated files, Resetter will be compatible with virtually any debian based os whether x86, amd64 or arm.
- This is the program that will help reseter spread to other debian based distros.
- Written in python 3.5 and PyQt5
(Using GUI)
- Download the program found here then on the terminal, run the following commands:
- Extract the tar.gz file, by right clicking, then select "extract files"
- Double click on ResetterHelper Binary to run it
- Press generate
- send me the generated files by email if you do not have a github account or create a pull request which adds these files to the data folder which contains the manifest
- Make sure to only run this program on a stock distro with no added packages other than the preinstalled ones
(Using CLI)
- If you decide to use the CLI way, I'll assume your know your way around the terminal. Run the following commands:
-
tar xvzf ResetterHelper.tar.gz
-
cd ResetterHelper
-
chmod +x ResetterHelper
-
./ResetterHelper
- A complete cli version of this small program will be released once I find enough time to make it.
- The goal of this program is to help make Resetter self sustainable for a bit without me having to updated it all the time.
- If you find a bug or problem please create an issue on github.
- If you do not have a github account do not hesitate to contact me and send your bug report to [email protected].
- Generate the manifest of a distro
- Generate the entire userlist of a distro

This program should run on any Linux distros as far as I know, however, it will tell you whether your distro can be supported or not.
