Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

andrewlen My experience with using vbox extensions has been hit and miss. I just made a file share on my Windows computer and use Puppy's menu>network>Yassm Samba share mounter to open (mount) the folder. You do need to use Yassm v4.2 or higher, I've included a link to 4.5. This always works with a...

rockedge I'm not sure what qualifies as Live except that it can be used without install. The 2 Ubuntus are the latest Clonezilla and Rescuezilla iso's downloaded from their sites and can be installed to a usb, so I think they would be live versions. Also not sure where to check if the puppy iso's h...

@wiak

Just to note all of the iso files, 3 Puppy, 2 Ubuntu (the "zillas"), 1 Win7 and 1 Win10 booted without problems. It would be interesting to see if WDL would boot without the special code.

number77 If your goal is to learn how to make a iso copy that can be restored creating a bootable usb then do that. If however, you just want to backup the bootable usb I suggest you try either: Clonezilla, and you already know not to try the version in the ppm, instead download the iso from their ...

Even if you can't recover the bad save file itself, you should be able to recover any photos, documents, etc. that were on the bad save file.

You should disregard my reference to fossa64 9.5 since I only used it to find the problem and document the fix. The steps to fix should be the same for your xenial64. In one of your post above you said you deleted all the clonezilla files you could find. My question is, did you make a copy of the ba...

Did some testing on fossa64 9.5 and guess that it will be the same on your xenial64. Here is a archive that contains 2 files, overall_install_report.txt and login_4.8.1.files . My test showed that the login_4.8.1 package was the one keeping the system from booting so delete those files first and try...

I have not tried it, by my knowledge it would be possible, but a very convoluted process.

Same problem in fossa64, reported here:

I created a usb with unetbootin 506 and it would not boot on my netbook. Created again with unetbootin 702 and it does boot. Give that a try.

wizard

Try creating the usb using: menu>setup>stickpup-usb stick installer. I've install fossa64 9.5 on lots of old dual cores and pentium D's.

wizard

Keep in mind my usb was created with: Bootflash install Puppy to USB. i have booted it on both 64bit and 32bit computers including an Acer Aspire One netbook which has an atom n270 32bit cpu. Do you get any error messages when trying to boot?

wizard

The above method creates a usb that boots to the grub menu and includes slimjet that runs.

wizard

This was tested and should work: Assume you are using mikewalsh Slimjet-portable32 -move your Slimjet-portable32 directory to /home/ -create your menu entry and desktop icon if desired -menu>setup>Remaster Puppy live-CD -at the message telling you that /tmp/root has been created, STOP, then run 80x3...

Take a look at the 9th & 10th reply in this:

It may do what you want without making a iso.

bigpup It creates a convenient and logical way to access network file shares. I have several file shares on my LAN and the directories are mount points and the script files are mount scripts. For example one file share is "music" so I create the /mnt/music directory and put the script fil...

Fossa 64 9.5 Not sure if this qualifies as a bug or just an anominally. I have some script files and directories I keep in /mnt and on my HD install all works fine. If I boot from my usb flash drive and copy the same files/directories into /mnt they are not saved in the save file and are gone on reb...

oneirophon If you want to use a 64bit puppy you might consider upgrading your cpu. If your Dell is a Dimension C521 you could put in a Athlon X2 5400+ which would almost triple your speed. You might have to upgrade the bios too, check if you have BIOS version 1.1.11. Ebay is listing the 5400+ for $...

Try validating your bootable usb by booting it on another computer. This will give you a known good point of reference.

wizard

Taken from the fossa64 topic "approx minimum System Requirements: 2007 era 64bit core2duo cpu & 2gb ram". This may be your problem, I just used Rufus to create a fossa64 usb and it did boot on a machine that meets the min requirements. Even if you could get it to boot it would be slooo...

mikewalsh I haven't looked at partedmagic for years, have old copy on a cd and as I remember it used the native CZ terminal interface. I did find "rescuezilla" which has a gui for clonezilla plus a lot of other tools in a desktop environment. CZ's interface is convoluted at best and intim...

Thanks for testing bigpup, would have been a bad surprise if I hadn't had a backup save file.

wizard

Puppy fossa64 9.5 Installed clonezilla from the ppm to use to backup my bootable usb drive. The Clonezilla version did not offer the needed options and the computer would not reboot, had to replace the save file from backup. Repeated second time with same result. Downloaded clonezilla iso and instal...

Probably should be pointed out that windows portable applications have a better than average chance to run in linux under wine.

If using images,the only workaround I've used is to put the context and images into a pdf and upload that.

EDIT 9/11/2 3: The newer Bookworm Pup64 that works OOTB is a better Puppy for the Acer CB3-431 (this post shows how to get Fossapup64 9.5 working) After more testing, this is a revised setup procedure that should be easier. It addresses these issues: -sound disabled on reboot -sound disabled when b...

@bigpup

How would you like the bootable usb to be created? I have made a number of fossa64 9.5 bootable usb's using the StickPup installer and they boot on legacy mbr computers. Pretty slow on dual core and usb2.

And as usual, you are right about needing more info about the hardware.
