Re: How to go into developer mode in chromebook with bad keyboard?

If you want to see something run FAST, put an NVME module in a USB3 enclosure and use it as an external hard drive.

How to make a squashfs module for LocalSend

This is a regular repo2sfs "third-party" build with a setup script (attached below). Users who are new to repo2sfs should read here at post #6 and here at post #27. The module has been tested successfully with actual file transfers between two machines. Find the app in the Accessories menu.

Where is the not obsolete version? If it is to be an included application in future Puppy Linux variants it needs to be accessible for a woof-CE build run from a reachable repository.

It's in the Starter Kit project, available through Fred's repo. But that version is not Puppy-compatible.

Did this ever work?

Yes. But years ago, busybox dc changed its syntax and PeasyPDF was updated accordingly. Puppy continues to use an obsolete version.

Just to be clear, a "Filter failed" error would be caused by using the wrong driver, NOT by a hardware problem like a blocked sensor.

Re: The Debian-Live Daedalus Starter Kit

The Daedalus k6.1.0-9-amd64 wifi driver pack is here.

It contains the rtl 88x2bu driver which supports the obda:b812 device. In your PeasyWifi Config, make sure to set "DRIVER=nl80211".

According to my notes, the old protocol "DRIVER=wext" no longer works with this device.

rebuilding it is hard when you can't easily find what is missing.

If you have a system with correct package management, you don't need to go looking for missing stuff.

I looked at this ISO and it appears to have LESS b43 firmware than previous versions. A member of the Bionic team needs to look at this. There may be a separate package of b43 firmware somewhere on the forum.

Re: How to clone current frugal to new ssd?

This machine sounds like a desktop/tower with multiple internal drives. Is sda the new drive?

On the other drives, rename any grub.cfg files so GRUB will ignore them.
