Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

@twigboy - well, that's a first. Been downloaded hundreds (thousands?) of times & haven't had that happen - very occasionally it just doesn't work. Sorry that happened to you. As I said before, that wireless is a problematic chip in Linux.

@Ged - in case it's useful, our kernel archive is here: https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Huge-Kernels
i686 & pae kernels are 32bit. Last 32bit one I made was 5.10.189-pae , 9 months ago.

@ozboomer - newish drive, oldish kernel. Could be an issue? I made a 2023 update of bionicpup64 (in Remasters section of forum) with kernel 5.10.182. I know that kernel solved problems in slacko 7. Possibility? (I'm out of ideas now).

@ozboomer - yes, 100mb fat32 boot partition & big ext3/4 working partition a good idea, with label via gparted.
Where you have rootwait , maybe try wait 10 instead.

@ozboomer - rootwait is its own, not in pfix - replace the comma after fsckp with a space. Your using pdrv=SABU (if that is the label the working partition has, via gparted), should allow it to be found. Maybe try lowercase in gparted, then in grub.

@ozboomer - not what you asked for, but in grub.cfg/syslinux.cfg I append the kernel/Linux line with rootwait

Version 6 released - new base (20240323) & new concept (changes that make it 'ovrly' are all in bdrv). See 1st post.

@peebee - openh64 (2.3.2) & widevine (4.10.2710.0) versions downloaded are the same in 240323 & 240505. checkdeps didn't reveal any relevant libs missing. Mysterious. I confirm chromium64-alien works, so definitely a firefox issue.

@peebee - sadly, no difference - see pic below (I do enable drm & wait over 30sec, which works in 240420 & earlier):

@peebee - disappointingly, this s15pup64, as is (like 240505 & without any customising), will not play DRM videos via Firefox ESR (240420 & earlier did).

Thanks anyway Wiz57. Does ANYONE have the devx for s15pup64 240413 or 240420?

@Wiz57 - do you have the devx for 240413 or 240420?

@FloraMae - I made some puppy derivatives for older machines. I would recommend 2Gb ram, but 1Gb (maybe 512Mb) with a swapfile would work. Although I'm using an i5 with 12Gb ram, below are the usages for Fossa64-Medium, on Startup & then with Palemoon running:

So our new flagship pup, Bookwormpup64_10.0.6, ships with 6.1.76 overlayfs-only usrmerge kernel. We have come a long way this year.

version 2b released - see 1st post

@fbagnato - that message is usually due to a bootloader mismatch - possibly looking for an efi file on a non-efi system. It won't cause harm.

@fbagnato - you should have only 1 active initrd line - so place # to the left of the old one. Not sure what the auto-install microcode will do. Nice to see you're progressing well.

@FloraMae - interesting. I hadn't noticed that when I switched from gtk2 to gtk3 palemoon. Hovering a mouse over unlabelled icons identifies them. Doesn't affect operation, but is untidy. Can't see an easy fix.
