Hi I will put my three cents here, because no one (and I read the whole topic twice) has not paid attention to a certain important detail. The ability (or the lack of it) to match the title to the presented problem carries a lot of information about the author's knowledge - this is not even noticed ...

Hi cobaka Over a year ago I wrote about the same problems with Evince without happy end. I suppose, that problem is "build in Evince", not to be repaired by scripts. If You have Wine use Sumatra PDF , it is Master of Art in document viewers category. Some years ago I also used Foxit Reader for ...

Hiren's BootCD is made for working with Windows OS problems.
It is not for Linux OS.

Not at all. Many of diagnostic programs are running not under Windows or Linux, but under minimalistic DOS (command.com, io.sys).
AFAIK there is not Linux repairing programs for NTFS.

Cheers

Hi Clarity

Hiren's BootCD can't run under Slacko, it is bootable system - boot it from usb.

1. In 1st step I manually deleted this files. Nothing wrong after - sound is working no problem.
2. I read on Askbuntu that deleting these files helps if the sound is down

Hi Puppy: BionicPup32-8 19.03 In the directory /root/.cache/ I find event-sound-cache.tdb.xxx.i686-pc-linux-gnu files: 567 size: 12 228 bytes each Are these files useful for something and can they somehow be automatically deleted? For some time now I have been trying to eliminate anything that takes ...

For my early puppies - say 2006 - I installed, among others, version 4.3.1 "Full instal" on HDD ext2 partition. Some power failure and it was over! Nothing can help - fsck show no errors, but system was dead. Living in dual Puppy / Windows world I always use frugal Puppy on NTFS partiton. That's all ...

Hi to all I do not understand the problems of many people looking for hardware troubleshooting tools running under advanced operating systems like Linux or Windows, while the most reliable diagnostic tools, including many proprietary tools, run under minimal DOS configuration, or even without it ...

Hi

3 questions :
1. Windows version?
2. What is the partition layout on HDD/SSD?
3. Can you quote boot manager's config file?

Have a nice day
Adam

Edit: almost head-on collision

Hi

1. I think you will save yourself a lot of problems if you do the first installation on a USB flash drive and choose BionicPup32-8.0 (UPupBB-19.03) .
2. In contrast to standard Linux installations, the standard installation in Puppy is FRUGAL.

Hi solarpuppy

May be for you? 10 years ago I used on Compaq with PIII 600 ~ 1000 MHz (I don't remember details) and no more memory than 512 MB precise-5.7.1. Download generic precise-5.7.1.iso.

Hi to all Shorty: 1. If HDD is up to 2 TB you can use GPT or MBR, if >2TB MBR cannot be used. 2. UEFI or BIOS is another story - older BIOS don't "understand" GPT. 3. GPT can be set to Legacy BIOS bootable - I never used this and I don't know is this working. On Wikipedia: GUID Partition Table EFI ...

Do you have an optical drive (CD or DVD) or not?

I also couldn't find the md5 of the downloaded .iso file. About MD5 on Wikipedia Filename Hirens.BootCD.15.2.zip Filesize 592.5 MB (621283886 bytes) ISO MD5 7EFC81ADBBD551D56F6021C439C6837C ZIP MD5 D342BBD6BF7554ABA24A376E41675DBF MD5SUM (shortly MD5) is plain text file [md5sum1[two spaces or space ...

Not. Inside zip there is ISO for bootable CD/pendrive.

Adam Li

Hi kuman11 What would i do in your place: 1. Download Hiren's BootCD 15.2 (592.5 MB). Check downloaded file: Filename Hirens.BootCD.15.2.zip Filesize 592.5 MB (621283886 bytes) ISO MD5 7EFC81ADBBD551D56F6021C439C6837C ZIP MD5 D342BBD6BF7554ABA24A376E41675DBF 2.

Hi Clarity In the past 2 decades, I have not found a PE or a Windows ISO with the expressed intent to correct potentially corrupt NTFS for Linux users. If anyone knows of something that specifically designed to fix corruptions, I am all ears. From the "era of Windows XP": Microsoft Windows Recovery ...

Hi kuman11 1. There is no full replacement for chkdsk in Linux. 2. ntfsfix - It only repairs some fundamental NTFS inconsistencies. See manual Use, for example, BionicPup32 8.0 live - it's build-in. 3. Ultimate Boot CD - some tools. 4. Under Linux ntfs-3g ntfsprogs are needed. Maybe some one write ...

Hi Kjellinux 1. Firmware or drivers? I have no idea where the term "firmware" came from in the Linux distribution world, which is otherwise very misleading. According to the Cambridge English Dictionary "firmware is a set of instructions that form part of an electronic device and allow it to ...

Hi 1. Wait time for USB Flash IMHO have no sense. If ANY content is read off from it, next will be read almost immediately. Longest expected time to read will be with HDD on USB, say up to 200 ms worst case. 2. Speed of USB pendrive is (black) legend of age. Time to time I see copying files to USB 3 ...

It's more than just a "little bug" in Fossapup, bigpup. Bionicpup does it; Xenialpup does it; even BK's older Quirkies have the same behaviour. I'm in Quirky64 April 7.0.1 right now, and it's just the same here. Seems to be endemic to all Woof-CE built Pups; I'm a bit surprised the issue hasn't ...

Adam Li

Hi bigpup I am not surprised - you are involved in many threads - that some kind of mental shortcut has confused you. I wrote Some earlier experiments: . . - booting with alone puppy_fossapup64_9.5.sfs - saved fossapup64save-corrino.3fs - restart - added fdrv_fossapup64_9.5.sfs - restart - added ...

Hi bigpup You are right, I checked it and do some correction: huge-4.9.249-slacko64.tar.bz2: ------------------------------ fdrv-4.9.249-slacko64.sfs --> fdrv_fossapup64_9.5.sfs kernel-modules-4.9.249-slacko64.sfs --> zdrv_fossapup64_9.5.sfs vmlinuz-4.9.249-slacko64 --> vmlinuz fossapup64.005.jpg ...

Hi bigpup - YOU ARE BIGPUP! I'm writing from Fossapup64, kernel 4.9.249 from huge-4.9.249-slacko.tar.bz2, manually unpacked and renamed files. fossapup64.004.jpg fossapup64.003.png WiFi working, sound also.

No, never needed.

Have you tried Bionicpup64 8.0?

Yes, about 2 yers ago, along with Bionicpup32 (and 8 others in Puppy Gang )

Hi rcrsn51 Try booting from the ISO. When it hangs up, press Ctrl-C several times and see if you can break out. Tested options: - Safe mode, no x - RAM only Ctrl-C several times with no effect - laptop frozen like Emmerich's "The Day After Tomorrow". Thanks very much and I go sleep - it's 23:09 my ...

Adam Li

Bingo rcrsn51, You Are Great!

Renamed zdrv_fossapup64_9.5.sfs, pfix=ram >> no booting problem.

But what to do with booting from ISO - is remastering the only way?

Have a nice days and nights
Adam
