If I understand correctly, you previously installed Puppy via Grub2, then subsequently deleted Puppy and/or the Linux partition containing Puppy. If this is the case, possibly your current "ghost" entries are referenced in residual bootloader files of the (non-deleted) EFI boot partition ...

Hello Radky, I too can report success, after making the changes to line 1761 as you suggested. Unfortunately I've still had to go back to Limine bootloader, because when I boot grub2, it keeps using "ghost" entries that point to non-existing installs from a previous attempt at installing g...

No, line 360 isn't causing nvme01n1 into nvme0n. If I run version test3, I get the error message about missing boot flag on nvme01n1. But if I edit test3, & change instances of fdisk -l to parted -l , on lines 551 & 701, then I get a successfully installed grub.cfg to nvme01n1. Success.png H...

Good detective work Wizard. I know you say Nvme drives aren't covered, but I had to try. If I alter the two instance of fdisk -l to parted -l , then it gets past the error message that "Boot flag not found on nvme0n1", and identifies puppy installations, as shown in imagea, but proceeding,...

Curious why grub2config is correctly seeing my drive as nvme0n1, but then giving me an error: fdisk: cannot open /dev/nvme0n: No such file or directory I wonder if part2drive, line 358, is the culprit? # v1.7.9: ex. mmcblk0p1 to be mmcblk0 part2drive() { sed -e 's/[0-9]*$//' -e 's/$[0-9]$p$/\1/' }

Also, while gparted shows the boot & esp flags, fdisk doesn't. See this thread:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/983154/ ... -boot-flag

muggins

If I try & use grub2config I get the same error message as Wizard, even though gparted shows boot & esp flags, and gdisk has the first partition, correctly, as EF00. Perhaps a clue is that the grub2config.log file has: /mnt/nvme1n1p4/grub2config-2.0.1/usr/sbin/grub2config version 2.0.1 Wed M...

Hopefully nobody downloaded the previous upload, because I forgot to check it was appearing in the menu! I've reuploaded
it and it appears in the Internet menu section.

See https://motrix.app/features I just took their latest AppImage & conveerted it to an sfs. For a test run I got it to download the F96-CE_4 iso. I haven't tried using it for torrent/magnet downloads as yet. I've uploaded sfs here: https://download944.mediafire.com/5jf6s4kbn7pgb3QqlvvG9dptDqqrF...

Yes, mine is stripped whereas Rockedge's isn't. Just run:

Code: Select all

strip wxyzv

on Rockedge's version, and they should be similar sizes.

Also, this link might provide some alternatives: https://fedoramagazine.org/17-alternatives-to-your-default-image-viewer-on-fedora/ Both Qiv & Feh are availble from the Fossa Package manager. I also tried the rust binary of viu, but also gives me glibc errors. https://github.com/atanunq/viu

muggins

Ok, my Lx64Pup compiled wxyzv also gives glibc errors in fossa64. So I downloaded the fossa64 devx & did: ./cobfigure --prefix=/usr make and then received this error message: error: ‘min’ is not a member of ‘std’; did you mean ‘fmin’? 153 | winwidth = std::min(rotimgwidth, screen_width); | ^~~ |...

Hello Greengeek,

why don't you have a go at compiling it? Just download the source & extract it somewhere, change directory to the extracted source, then:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

I compiled it on LxPup64 & it has to be one of the easiest things I've ever compiled/

What version of Pale Moon browser?

I'm with Bigpup on this...I like Palemoon...but depending on the release version...sometimes it eats my RAM & freezes other
apps...killing it then all is OK.

Hello Boof, If you download https://download.linphone.org/releases/linux/app/Linphone-5.1.2.AppImage , to wherever you want to keep it, then right click the file & select "Permissions", then choose to make the file executable, it will start. I downloaded it Lx64Pup, but I received an e...

Also I first started using puppy as a refugee from windowsME. It had Nortons antivirus on it, and I found Nortons to be as bad as malware in that I kept getting popups, and it wouldn't allow me to do certain things on my own laptop. And I found ME quite slow. I tried maybe ten different linux versio...

I've been using puppy since 2004, and maybe 10 years ago had a bank account hacked. It was entirely my fault as the browser gave me a warning about my CA certificates but, being somewhat inebriated, went ahead regardless. The website looked like my regular bank website, and the hackers only took sma...

Anyway, I only mentioned this issue in Gyro's thread as I'd never encountered such a recalcitrant laptop &/or bios before. As I'm offloading to a mate tomorrow, with mxlinux on it, we can put this one on the back burner. Cheers.

After changing to msdos partition table, with gparted, then running FrugalPup, I get same the same "no such device" error message. Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 476.94 GiB, 512110190592 bytes, 1000215216 sectors Disk model: WD PC SN740 SDDQNQD-512G-1014 Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector si...

Well, after a lot of frigging around, reformatting, changing partition ids etc, installing then re-installing refind, finally I've booted from the hard disk with refind. The difference is that this time I didn't install puppy in a subdirectory. (I tried same thing with frugalPup, but still get the u...

@One asked if order should be "search --no-floppy --set=root --fs-uuid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

On my usual latop I altered "search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" to ""search --no-floppy --set=root --fs-uuid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
and no difference.

Is an acer aspire 5 laptop with 512Mbyte nvme drive. No idea what windows version as I just wiped it by using gparted reformat. Now has 1 small fat32 partition & 2 ext4 partitions. And yes, gparted showing correct size. But won't be returning laptop as burned mxlinux to dvd, & it installs to...

muggins

OK, I downloaded newest gparted, created new gpt partition table, create 256Mb fat32 partition, with esp & boot flags set. Then used FrugalPup Boot option to configure boot. I've tried both uefi64 & uefi, and still grub can't see device uuid. I tried generating a new uuid, with gparted, but ...

Hello Gyro, I'm going crazy trying to get a laptop to boot. I wiped windows & can boot puppy from a usb. i then used your frugalPup to install to the laptop's hardisk, but when I reboot, the grub menu comes up, but then gives an error: grub: no such device UUID The UUID is the same one as shown ...

OK, I just did a comparison download, same clip & quality ytube clip, using lux vs yt-dlp. Lux was a lot slower than dlp. It
was a lot faster, (but still slower than dlp), when I used the -m option for multiple threads:

Code: Select all

lux -m Url

muggins

As an alternative to yt-dlp, for downloading videos via commandline, there's also lux:

https://golangprojectstructure.com/down ... -with-lux/

Precompiled binaries are available here:

https://github.com/iawia002/lux

muggins

Hmmm...maybe a work in progress. While it detects youtube videos playing, and has a download popup, no success yet in downloading anything.

https://github.com/PocketStudios/Pocket-Browser Has anyone tried this yet? The appimage works for me, ( Using LxSc64 ), but my attempt at converting to an sfs didn't as I get permission problems when trying to load the sfs. Classic Design.

Hello Peebee, altering /etc/acpi/acpi.conf as you suggested didn't work, but you put me on the right path. I did a diff between suspend.sh, from directory /etc/acpi/actions, from my current LxPupSc64_23.01, where xlock wasn't working, and same file from LxPupSc64_21.04, where xlock does work. Alteri...
