Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

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.

v5 released - 08May2024 - updated Palemoon browser, poorercputemp & some small additions.
No ydrv - all my additions are in puppy sfs.
This should be the final release, as I've achieved my original aim & the code base is ageing.
See 1st post.

@dcung - would this .pet help?

@Jasper - for a generic fdrv, only /lib/firmware should exist (/usr/lib/firmware if usrmerge), however, bookwormpup64's fdrv also has microcode included.

@Jasper - if you make it an fdrv .sfs, could compress to about 180mb.

@vtpup - ok, would you post a copy of the 6.1.8 DOTconfig please? (hopefully, is under /boot, as config-...). Then I can try to make you a later kernel based on that. Perhaps pm it to me, as it might be a bit off topic here.

@vtpup - would be good to know what drivers you need, so would you please boot up Mint & in a terminal run:
lsmod > /mintmods.txt

& attach that file here.

@peebee - I used gcc 11.2 (s15pup64-231209) with my 5.15.150 failure, which was then ok to make 5.15.148 usrmerge kernel. I mostly use 10.2 (ScPup64_20.01), for compatibility with oldish pups.

@Chelsea80 - ah - I re-read your initial post - you were ENQUIRING about Noblepup, not actually running it, whilst you use bionicpup (non-usrmerge). Your Firefox SFS (above) should work in both.

@Chelsea80 - the bin & lib in your example are under the /usr folder, so that is fine for usrmerge.
What is not fine for usrmerge, is if they are in the main primary folder ( / ).

Yes about 30 sec delay for me - those blasted bots!

@Jasper - ubuntu seem to make their own updates. In a terminal, run: openssl version & look at the date.

@boof - re- ring time. I know 'Belong' (Australia) have a long code to dial in & increase ringtime from 15 to 30 sec. Other providers may have similar. It is possible to get a lanyard phone-holder if that would help.

@Clarity - this post may be useful re- newer e2fsck: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1497523 ... -of-e2fsck

As long as folk are led to understand that the Bookworms are usrmerge & old .pets could be incompatible, I think we should put the Bookworms on DW AND more prominently on puppylinux.com.

@Jasper - unfortunately, the rtl & wl wifi drivers are extras to 5.x kernels. They are both .pets in the forum Drivers section though.
