PS: the thread - as far as its title is concerned - should be marked as solved, shouldn't it?

Hi,

So in the end, wrong assumptions (about the "event") led to heated answers and bad decisions.

That's sad ...

Help, please.

This may have been answered before, but I cannot determine where in the PUP Control Panel that I can use to set the tray-taskbar? I need to add more virtual desktop than the OOTB 3, and to control hide/no-hide feature.

Hi @peebee,

sorry for being late - health problems.

I still had problems with your voidpups regarding my ethernet connection (I had to add "ipv6.disable=1" to the kernel command line).

So I switched to your LxPupSc64 23.01 (kernel 6.6.17-lxpup64 (x86_64) which works flawlessly.

Hi @all

the issue is fixed in chromium version 123.0.6312.105, so builds of brave based on this will be ok now.

No need to disable hardware acceleration in settings anymore.

Hi bigphil ,

maybe disabling hardware-accelaration in settings helps?

Hi bigphil and mikewalsh ,

Do you use the latest v1.64.109 (Mar 20, 2024)?

This would be based on the updated chromium (from 122.0.6261.128 to 123.0.6312.58 ).

I experience the same issue with the latest chromium - white screen, but audio ok. I found no solution so I reverted to the functioning ...

Hi @keniv,

you have to adjust the path in the statement:

Code: Select all

if [ -e /1006BookwormPup64/ucode.cpio ]; then
initrd /1006BookwormPup64/ucode.cpio /1006BookwormPup64/initrd.gz
else
initrd /1006BookwormPup64/initrd.gz
fi

in your /etc/grub.d/40_custom.

Thanks peebee ,

so the next releases will have dhcpcd 10.0.6?

What would be the preferred method in "reverting back to 10.0.4?

I am currently in voidpup 32 _231221 and did this:

Yes - 231221 ( edit: and 231209.

Ethernet is automatically active (normally) - so can't tell for sure which connection manager is used.

Hi peebee and dimkr ,

thanks for your response.

Via the link to ozsouth 's kernel creations I did not find a 32 bit_overlay-usrmerge_kernel - so I limited the test to BookwormPup64.

I took 5.10.174-64oz-ao-um and 5.15.131-64oz-ao-um and both boot fine up to the desktop - but show the same ...

I can't think of any recent pup I had this problem. I run latest voidpup, s15pup, jammypup32, fp96CE_4, quickpup64 etc. - they use the i915 intel driver which is good enough for me (do not want to bother with nvidia driver).

If I run bookwormpup32/64 without ext. monitor all is well.

Since ...

Thanks for your reply @peebee,

last question first: yes - bookwormpup64 shows the same problem ...

I attached the terminal output for both (32+64), report-video for both and a screenshot of QuickSetup (showing modesetting driver being used with - I think - wrong resolution).

Hi peebee ,

thanks for this very nice addition to your collection :thumbup2:

Boots fine and sfs-loading chromium works good.

I usually use Setup>Monitor Settings to adjust the resolution and turn off the ...

Hi @Clarity,

I assume the problem is in the initrd (major changes compared to rc6), nothing to do with SG2D.

Anyway - yes, I launched from SG2D menu.

Attached savespec, where 'Ventoy' is the label of the first partition (ext3).

Thanks @Clarity,

interesting, but confusing ...

Additional - the problem only occurs with savefolder, NOT when using a savefile!

Yes - I have! That's why I ask you two times ...

So I took the time for the long, winding road via Ventoy, SG2D - to finally boot quickpup64_rc7.

@Clarity,

Again: Does your post indicate that you can boot rc7 (via SG2D) successful with an existing savefolder???

Hi @mistfire,

I took your latest rc7, did a new frugal install on ssd - booted ok.
At shutdown I created a new savefolder with some quick settings.

After shutdown I booted again, this time with the newly created savefolder - booting fails!

Hi peebee ,

there is a problem with the mime-handling of *.iso files in voidpup64 (and also s15pup64 voidpup32).

A *.iso file, when seen in ROX-Filer, should display with it's mime-type icon, and (left-)clicking on it should open it with filemnt , so the iso is mounted and you can inspect/copy ...

in the meantime you can install lxrandr via synaptic - it works.

If you've got to stick with 32-bit, the only up-to-date, secure browsers that are still available are going to be Mozilla-based. No other options exist now.

I ask again: does save session in pupmode 13 work as expected on your side?

Hi @mistfire,

Sorry - but no, not on my side.

I took rc5, created a new savefolder during the first shutdown and the session is always saved during the following shutdowns.
