Here's a statically linked (musl + tinyxlib) build of xdemineur.
Should work on any i?86/x86_64 system with X (maybe XWayland, too, but I'm not sure).

Code: Select all

usage: ./xdemineur [-v] [-display displayname] [-geometry geom] [-m mines]

@JakeSFR I was able to dd a remastered iso to a flash drive and the system successfully booted from that drive. There seems to be something off during the burn process of the DVD in pburn. I am using the same DVD-burner and DVD-brand since ages and it works without problems for BIOS legacy systems ...

JakeSFR

So I can create the remastered ISO as previously described and then use the following command to write it to my USB pendrive (for instance sdb), correct? dd if=./remastered.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4 It's bs=4 M , with bs=4 it will take forever to dd. Would this require any special formatting of the USB ...

JakeSFR

If I leave the -cdrom flag in Qemu it will give me an error that Qemu fails to start @JakeSFR. Oh, I think I was wrong, the -cdrom bit is invalid in case of booting from e.g. USB stick, but yeah, it makes sense for sr0. I haven't been using CDs/DVDs for ages... But in this case, the Could not read ...

The remastered image boots to the Fatdog desktop in Qemu, but I had to remove the enable-kvm option otherwise I get the following error: Ok, that's some progress. As for kvm , you probably need to modprobe kvm . Also, when specifying a physical device in QEmu, no need to use -cdrom option, just typ...

JakeSFR

Hmm, I tried the original as well as quickly remastered ISO (only fd64.sfs, nothing more added) in QEmu, emulating UEFI: qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2G -vga cirrus -usbdevice tablet -bios /usr/share/qemu/uefi-bios.bin -cdrom remaster-2022-08-29.iso and it (slowly, but) boots for me in both cas...

Thanks, Jake. v4.10 working well across the 'kennels'. Alright, thanks for the confirmation, Mike! :) ___________ While making pfind addon I discovered... Easy linux has odd way of making a pet package. Barry K includes a note in rox.sourceforge.net folder. Basically a pinstall.sh script is needed ...

JakeSFR

Do you know the exact location of efiboot.img on the default Fatdog DVD image so that I can copy it over for the next remastering attempt? It's in the root directory of the Fatdog ISO: FD_efiboot.gif Also, is it possible to use the secure boot option for a remastered live DVD? The documentation onl...

JakeSFR

Did you select this checkbox and also the efiboot.img in the right pane? FD_Remaster_EFI.gif If so, the resulting ISO should have that file, too. Does it? As for the grub2.efi file, I'm not sure what it is, I don't use UEFI boot at all... [EDIT] It's inside efiboot.img : EFI/grub2/grub2.efi . Greeti...

Updated to v1.12. Changelog in the second post.

Greetings!

JakeSFR

No, this one is not supported.
There are some online converters available, though.

Greetings!

JakeSFR

Thank you, @josejp2424.
I re-uploaded the PET with you updated translation.

Version 4.10: - zimdump: compatibility with new syntax - fix extracting newer MakeSelf installers - extract also lz4, lzo, zstd, base64 and pgp MakeSelf installers - updated ES locale (josejp2424) - other, minor fixes and improvements - new formats/extensions: .cps (The Powder Toy Save File) [<inte...

Hey Mochi, No, it shouldn't break anything, it just redefines what is considered to be a current directory. But I just noticed that the entry field is missing one action: <action signal="activate">refresh:varSTATUS</action> so if you have, for example, some items highlighted and then chang...

JakeSFR

Thanks @JakeSFR. From your above post with " multi " example, does that match what you see in SAVEFILE Argument Builder utility on your end? Well, obviously not, because SAB doesn't support label , only device and uuid . As I said in the other thread , it supports only a subset of all ava...

JakeSFR

Not exactly, according to /aufs/pup_init/sbin/system-init : # - multi:dev:path:n - load in multisession mode, dev & path optional # --> default dev = first dvd drive (sr0), n = don't load the last n sessions # --> dev isn't necessarily a dvd, it could be harddisk too ... # - multi:label:label:pa...

JakeSFR

Yeah, most likely it takes slightly more or less than 5 seconds for the new kernel to recognize the USB device, that's why it works only sometimes. I mistakenly thought that Step's waitdev=5:5 would take care of this possibility, but the second 5 occurs after searching for a savefile. Greetings!

JakeSFR

Thanks! That worked. I guess the uuid I got from the argument builder was throwing it off? Alright, glad it worked, I wasn't so optimistic about it! But still, I wasn't able to reproduce it booting FD in QEmu, using UUID, with a savefile on a USB stick - it worked for me with both 5.4.152 and 5.10....

JakeSFR

Recently, I temporarily switched to 5.10.63, in order to check something, and it did recognize my (also encrypted) savefile. It's on my internal drive, though. It won't hurt to use 'Control Panel -> Install -> Savefile Argument Builder' and see if you'll still get the same argument. You could also t...

JakeSFR

You can't, because drive icons are dynamically created at boot or when you plug in a USB/MMC device. You can, however, enable showing actual labels (if any): System -> Puppy Event Manager -> ROX Icons -> Show labels for each PARTITION . In order to set/change a label, you need to use a utility spec...

Chrome was installed via the FatDog control panel installer. I find it pretty odd that the FatDog sound test works but Chrome stays silent... Unfortunately, I don't have a USB headset, so can't even try to reproduce it, but here are some questions that could help narrowing down the culprit: - did t...

Will try "-o ro,noload" later. But, it may only apply to ext4 with a journal, and my partition does not have a journal.

You may also want to try losetup with '-r Read-only' option (if available) as a middleman.

Is there a schedule for a new FatDog release? Looking forward to your feedback. :thumbup: Well, nothing's set in stone yet. We're on a hiatus/vacation right now, but there should be 813 release (bugfixes and updates), before 900, whenever it's gonna happen... Thanks for the interest, though. :) Gre...

Browse to /aufs/pup_multi/root/Desktop_launchers/Quick_apps and look for any whiteouts, e.g. .wh.htop.desktop . If it's there, removing it should make the actual symlink usable again. The presence of both file and .wh.file in /aufs/pup_multi is the result of creating that file, saving session, then ...

Fatdog64 uses qt5 5.11, so there is an obvious problem. How did you launch that Krita AppImage? It (5.1.0-prealpha) works for me in 813 (WIP). The problem with some AppImages, especially those using QT, is that they pick up system libs instead of the included ones, so if you run them from terminal,...

I see a lot of images of DeaDBeeF dressed up like a Xmas tree, with all sorts of stuff showing; music analyzers, spectrograms, all sorts of other stuff.

Probably this is what happend: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=4720 It's already fixed upstream: https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/pull/2691 As for the recovery, ntfsundelete works pretty well, but here the file itself wasn't deleted, but its contents, so I wouldn't expect m...

JakeSFR

Is the 1GB not enough all of a sudden? Yes, I think this might be the culprit. Although FD can boot in QEmu with only 1G, in case of a real hardware, some of the RAM can be seized by GPU as VideoRAM and hence inaccessible for CPU. Maybe 812's initrd size crossed the threshold. You still should be a...
