I made a 64bit USRMERGE 5.15.148 Kernel . Is for USRMERGE (newer Ubuntu/Debian derivative) Puppies ONLY. DO NOT TRY THIS WITH SLACKWARE DERIVATIVES OR OLDER UBUNTU DERIVATIVES (IS NOT FOR F96CE OR EARLIER). Used 2018-Kit, & edited output (linking /lib /sbin from /usr), via derivative of jrb's co...

I made a 64bit 5.15.147 2018 KIT NON-USRMERGE kernel . Has Overlayfs and Aufs builtin. Has Voluntary Preemption. Although this will work on standard older puppies as is, to use it with overlayfs, need a specifc initrd.gz, or (if your puppy is recent, like S15Pup64-22.12) have punionfs=overlay in the...

sparky1234 - Welcome to the forums! From your first post, we could work on whichever puppy booted, but didn't connect to wifi. That puppy needs a driver or firmware, which a couple of tests will determine. When booted up, open a terminal (console), maximise it & run: lspci -nn | grep etwork (th...

mikewalsh - pssct0 's readout should be closest to the mark. pssct1 is really for when that doesn't work. The idea is to give a fair guide, i.e. if you think your cpu is running hot you can basically confirm it. I find my i5 can jump 15C with some webpages & drop back when loaded, using poorert...

@Jasper - I put a small script in /root/Startup so it runs every startup (or X restart). Pings google dns server every 45 sec. Should keep connection up, if you're still having issues. Must make it executable (in a terminal, chmod 755 /root/Startup/stayon). Use at own risk.

ozsouth

@mikewalsh - yes, that's why I said 'could be helpful'! I'd be interested to see what the output of the main script is on your pc. If you run (in terminal): /usr/local/Pup-SysInfo/func -sysinfo_sensors
then look at the contents of: /tmp/sysinfo-sensors
all will be revealed (hopefully!)

Tried the cpu0temp one in BookwormPup64.

It works Ok.

But sure is a very barebones display.
Have to click on menu entry to run it.

Yes. You can make a desktop icon (see edited 1st post).

ozsouth

Varying systems have different requirements, so maybe either of these CPU temperature displays could be helpful. Use at own risk. You can make a desktop icon. For cpu0temp, when installed, in filemanager go to /usr/share/applications/pssct0.desktop & drag it onto main desktop. (for cpu1temp, use...

v10.0.6m will replace this.

Also made a more generic CPU temp1 data display (some cpus didn't like my previous one). Has Utility menu entry.

@Jasper - re- the 5.15.131 aoum kernel, the rtl8821ce wifi driver is showing 0 downloads - you need this particular pet installed to get wifi: https://www.mediafire.com/file/i5st9u2d ... m.pet/file

ozsouth

Dry Falls - I checked original - same result. Tried different inits & kernels to no avail. May have been changes in last 11 weeks, but probably not that. Xerrs may have gone the way of atime - where some linux dev decided it caused too many disk writes. On fsck, strange (my ext3 partition has f...

Was not able to compile wl in Jammypup32. Code was either too old or 64bit only, despite several attempts.

ozsouth

Those cards need the wl driver, which has to be compiled for the kernel being used. jammypup32 (22.04-240208) is not usrmerge, so my 5.10.189 32bit kernel (in forum Kernels section) has a driver (in forum Drivers section).

ozsouth

Jasper - Oops - sorry - Also in the forum Kernels section is my 5.15.131 usrmerge kernel - tested ok with Jammypup. rtl8821ce driver is forum Drivers section. 5 months old, but you could try that & use my newer fdrv. Later: Now recommend 5.15.148 usrmerge kernel instead (see forum Kernels secti...

ozsouth

Jasper - the RTW88 driver should run your wifi & the firmware is in my newer fdrvs, but the rtl8821ce is a difficult chip. The number of lockups & dropouts I had with mine before it stabilised in the 5.10 series near drove me mad. I hardly use that pc now. If this kernel doesn't help, no pr...

I made a 64bit USRMERGE 6.7.5 Kernel (Aufs/Overlayfs). Is for USRMERGE (newer Ubuntu/Debian derivative) Puppies ONLY.

@wizard @Marv - this wireless driver is available in kernels 6.2 on, but must be compiled in. I didn't do that, but will make a 6.7 usrmerge kernel in the next few hours, with the rtw89 drivers.

@wizard LATER: Usrmerge Kernel 6.7.5 is in forum Kernels section.

ozsouth

V4 released - see 1st post.

ozsouth

@wizard -

did have to copy the .ko files into /lib/modules/6.1.67 before modprobe would find them

Ah, so you are running bookworm as non-usrmerge? This .pet has .ko's in /usr/lib/modules, as per usrmerge.

ozsouth

wizard - googling, I found this: Searching for "0bda:b85b Realtek Semiconductor" seems to match a Realtek RTL8852BE chipset. According to and the previous discussion , it seems that your WiFi/BT device is supported as of Linux kernel 6.2. Since Debian Bookworm is released with Linux kerne...

I just checked over several puppies - pretty much every puppy released in the last 2 years has in initrd.gz, (in the last 30 or so lines of init), these 6 lines (can view init file in /initrd): cp -a /init* /sbin /README.txt /pup_new/initrd/ chmod -x /pup_new/initrd/init dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.txt [ -f ...

ozsouth

Dry Falls - thanks for that. 1 issue - crypsetup is in /sbin - see pic below. ldd says 'not a dynamic executable', whereas /initrd/bin version says 'static', as you said. I note that the initrd version was not installed in previous iterations of this pup, as the lines 1503-1504 didn't do anything. ...

ozsouth

It appears editing /sbin out of line 1499 is correct. New version: 1499 cp -a /init* /README.txt /pup_new/initrd/ However, what about lines 1503-1504? 1503 [ -f /bin/cryptsetup ] && cp -af /bin/cryptsetup /pup_new/initrd/bin/ 1504 [ -f /sbin/cryptsetup ] && cp -af /sbin/cryptsetup /p...

Bionicpup64-23 v2 (379mb). An update of original. Now has Firefox-esr 115.8.0 & Firefox path fix. I made this pup as it's the oldest base pup my i5 will run. I don't intend to update this, but .pets may be added & maybe a bugfix. Thanks to (especially) PhilB for original. Has security updat...

@peebee - maybe this .deb? Can you revert it?
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34914 Feb 13 14:28 gsettings-desktop-schemas_46beta-1ubuntu1_all.deb

And for a terminal command, maybe: ldd /usr/libexec/Xorg

ozsouth

@mmmrr excellent & good pickup by @bigpup . That .deb overcomes the glibc deficiency, being compiled to suit.

ozsouth

Dry Falls - interesting - that sbin & bin action must be woof-ce (or a tributary) - I didn't touch that. Might be fixed in current woof-ce. B, A, Y drvs load after Puppy, F & Z drvs, so can overwrite items in them - I was sure this was standard for all puppies. Savefile follows after that, ...
