@01micko It's nice that you provide slacko64 8.0 alpha, can you please provide 32-bit version of slacko 8.0? Is gtkdialog included was ported on gtk3? I'll get this close first then porting to 32 bit will be much easier. Developing in parallel is too time consuming, I do have somewhat of a life.. w...

Whoa! pre-pre-pre-alpha? (and 4 bits?) How did we go from "and a bit" to "4 bits"? See this post All future alpha beta rc will be released like this (after I test builds locally) See https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/releases Yes, that's right. Older info below (but s...

Is there a way to add the fix to already released version of Puppy?

Yes, but there are limitations on the age of the puppy.

Here is a patched xonclock. Remember @zigbert in the old days we had to click the desktop for the clock to show up? That bug is fixed. See https://github.com/01micko/xonclock for details on the pmdesktop.c library. It attempts to find the correct desktop layer in any DE. There is a separate repo fo...

Try slacko64-6.3.2 It worked on my Acer IconiaTab w500 (egalax kernel driver will load automatically) with the stock kernel. I even got rotation and stuff working and was quite usable except for the weight of the thing! Oh, dug up a wonky video. Just ignore the reflection of that ugly bloke! (this i...

Installing from PPM works fine, but not able to uninstall app afterwards. Clicking the uninstall button shows an empty list.

keniv try gyrog 's SAVESPEC facility, Don't download anything as it is all builtin to slacko 7. If your partitions are labeled use the label and if not use the UUID (not PARTUUID). eg: SS_ID='Work' SS_DIR='/tsaves' or SS_ID='0a46752e-9d72-4b19-bd3d-64de3ff539bf' SS_DIR='/tsaves' Where the former us...

Welcome back Dejan!

01micko

This could be interesting... (does not concern SAVESPEC) The machine is GPT with no windows and no secure boot. I booted from a frugalpup hard disk install with this grub2 stanza menuentry "eSlacko64 Test" { insmod loopback insmod iso9660 set isofile="/eslacko64-6.9.9.12.iso" loo...

01micko

New version 6.9.9.12 iso is out. Latest 5.4.77 kernel is in making a delta quite large so no delta. See main post Iso booting with SG2 can now make a save file/folder pretty much where ever you like if you first add a SAVESPEC file, see https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=10002#p10002 for m...

01micko

Could someone who is booting with supergrub2, please report the contents of '/proc/cmdline' on a Puppy that has been booted with supergrub2. Then I can see exactly what boot parameters it is passing. Obviously it is not specifying "iso_dev=". If we can detect the partition from the boot p...

01micko

Personal note: To me this update is simply fixing 'init', when I saw that things could be done in a better way. It is not an endorsment of booting iso files. It is a bit fiddly booting the iso files. It doesn't necessarily require linux but is certainly easier to use it with supergrub2. I revised t...

UPDATE to eSlacko64 6.9.9.11

Latest woof-ce init-experiment; (however distro-specs doesn't reflect that because I copied over the old DISTRO_SPECS after ./merge2out). New init changes are in place.

See main post for a delta file to upgrade the original iso.

01micko

cthisbear welcome to the new normal! I usually have the UUID of the partition in the 'find --set-root' line. The name of the partition also works (if it has a name). Puppy's init has probably changed substantially since dpup-stretch 7.5. If you can possibly use 'frugalpup' (in the menu) to install ...

eSlacko64 is released from init-experiment . #One or more words that identify this distribution: DISTRO_NAME='eSlacko64 Puppy' #version number of this distribution: DISTRO_VERSION=6.9.9.10 #The distro whose binary packages were used to build this distribution: DISTRO_BINARY_COMPAT='slackware64' #Pr...

01micko

eSlacko64 is an experimental puppy release to test out some experimental init ideas by gyrog . This is to test out booting from usb/sdcard/mmc to see if waiting for the device is better than waiting for the USB susbsystem. NOTE : new version is released to add gyrog 's improvements to saving with t...

Aha! rt40-5.4.70.png I managed to conjure up a patch. Be warned: I cannot take any responsibility for stability of the patch! With that said it seems to be running ok on my ryzen box. Here is the code: This patch enables compilation of 5.4.70-rt40 as it failed to compile. if CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y then...

01micko

But you're not enabling the RT features, no? When RT features are enabled, you will see "PREEMPT_RT" when you run uname -a ... yes, oversight in the config.. and when CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y in 5.4.70 compilation fails :evil: It is either a kernel bug or an AUFS bug (the latter for sure) beca...

01micko

I have made an alteration to `build.sh` setting the custom_suffix variable after the Makefile is patched in a standard build if the RT patchset (not the mono patch) is detected in /patches. Am trying a build of 5.4.70-rt40 right now and if successful will share the code. Later ... looks the goods an...

01micko

Nah there is something else wrong methinks... preceding peebee 's mentioned change .. looking into it. There is a wrong variable somewhere that didn't used to be wrong to do with the custom_suffix (which in the OP case would be -rt40 ) EDIT: 10 minutes later: Nope, that is not it. I suspect now that...

bionicpup32, and bionicpup64, both failed to find the 'puppy...sfs' after an install using 'init_woof-1.sfs', suggesting nothing really, just that too much has changed in the woof-ce 'initrd.gz' since they were produced. ScPup32, ScPup64, and fossapup64, all worked after 'init_woof-1.sfs' and also ...

Been trying for quite some time to get Bluetooth working for such things as BT keyboard and playing music through BT speakers...etc...,so far to no avail. Would be very handy since the RPI's come with it built in. Any helpful tips would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance for any guidance. Bl...

I went through the Xdialog sources and --extra-button was never implemented for --yesno box. The extra button is a patch added by a third party and collected by old murga member amigo . I find it strange that it works in calendar, time, various other text boxes and other box options but not 'yesno' ...
