(perhaps in the meantime you'll test some other weird computers :shock: :lol: ) As you wish :lol: For the sake of completeness - and for my future reference.

rcrsn51 I definitely think that you are relevant and one of the most capable/competent people on this forum. If it wasn't for you that guided/helped me years ago in my early days, I wouldn't be here in this forum. Cheer up - I can say that I learnt a lot by reading your posts. Wish you all the best ...

Yes, that works.
It boots of HDD now.

No way that I would have found it without your assistance.
I was looking only in .../scsi subdiriectory...

Thank you.

I thought to continue this thread rather than create a new one - let me know if new one is preferred. I also have old Dell PE2850. Same issue, I use USB stick to boot DebianDog - works fine. Also prefer to boot of its HDD - if possible. It has a PERC 4e/Di controller. With this PE2850, you can ...

@fredx181

I modified my boot stanza accordingly - per your example.
The Dell PE2950 can now boot of its HDD - both initrd1.xz and initrd.img work.
Noticed that initrd.img load more stuff than initrd1.xz.

Thanks for the tip.

dcung

I think you can just modify the boot stanza's in the grub.cfg or menu.lst like shown in the example: Change: initrd /my_frugal_install_dir/initrd.gz To: initrd /my_frugal_install_dir/initrd.img Got it. Thanks. I tried it, but in my (this) case, it didn't finish booting. Drop to initramfs prompt.

Adding megaraid driver - works!

Also, it may work booting with live-boot (initrd.img), it has much more included.

I never use initrd.img -
Do you mean boot of usb with ISO that has initrd.img?
Could you elaborate how to use initrd.img?

dcung

I have an old Dell server (PE9250). I currently use USB stick to boot DebianDog, works fine. I prefer to boot from its HDD if possible. It has PERC 5i controller, which my reading indicated that I need to add megaraid_sas driver to boot from it. I came across this https://forum.puppylinux.com ...

Well, just saying that what's default (or not default) shouldn't be very important (everyone has it's own choices) as it's easy enough to just click on what's preferred or not.

Indeed.

Anyway, I'm already regretting chiming in...
Cheers. Over and out.

I'd call it ultimate laziness to complain about one or two options to select or deselect, sorry

Not sure who you are referring to.
But, I really couldn't care less whether it is on or off.
Just pointing out that 'default' can not satisfy all in any case.

dcung

I know I always want to keep man pages and docs and have to de-select that option every time, every time, every time. It would be nice to be able to change the defaults. On the other hand, I always do not want to keep them. So, would be nice to keep it the way it is. I agree, adding non-interactive ...

... (you seem to make it more complicated than it is IMO ;) ), by just adding dconf/user to home/puppy/.config in dog-boot-bookworm-20221013 https://debiandog.github.io/MakeLive/dog-boot-bookworm-20221013.tar.gz I didn't intend to make it more complicated. When I say I will create a common dconf ...

dcung

These, don't exist in Lxqt (mklive - OOTB). After installing dconf-cli, etc, I tried copying these files from DDOG/OBDOG, it gets ignored. I didn't say it clearly. What I meant it gets ignored , it gets ignored by dconf update I 'm trying to understand it, since gtk filechooser size appear to ...

Quick Remaster Gui
Usually under DDOG Special in menu.

dcung

fredx181 I observed these during testing. In those that works (DDOG, OBDOG), these non-text files exist OOTB, i.e. clean, fresh build, first login. /root/.config/dconf/user /home/puppy/.config/dconf/user Deleting these files affect the filechooser windows size, i.e. no longer follow what is set in ...

dcung

Well, sorry, I tested now with a clean LXQT install and doesn't work for me either. Tried to find out why it worked earlier for me (not on a clean install). but couldn't . Frustrating ! :( fredx181 Thanks for doing that. I have been pulling my hair making builds using unmod mklive variations of ...

I make fresh build of Lxgt_Full with online conf, only took out slim. <do dconf stuff as before, extract etc_dconf.tar.gz, dconf update> Does not work. I make fresh build Lxqt (minimal), unmodified online conf, using unmodified mklive. Then apt update apt install google-chrome-stable run-as-user ...

dcung

@dcung Indeed with gsettings it doesn't seem to work, but found this post https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=55276#p55276 , followed the instructions and works for me (on LXQT, I tested) - install dconf-cli apt install dconf-cli - extract attached archive etc_dconf.tar.gz in / (so you get new ...

dcung

So probably for DebianDog this will do (using equivalent (run-as-user) of run-as-spot): run-as-user gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser window-size '(824, 622)' I already tried it. I thought if works, I can put it in startup. (Note - I autologin as root - in all my builds). In DDOG, got ...

dcung

Same thing here, tested with LXQT build (not sure if it's different with another DE perhaps). I may have to do with running as user from root login (user puppy in this case), found a little trick: - login as puppy, resize the popup window, try again and the size is remembered from what I tested ...

Linux has long had the ability to move a window without needing to access the title bar.

I know this.

The point is that I prefer not to have default window size that is bigger than screen resolution.

dcung

Anyone knows how to set Chrome download popup (default) window size?
On monitors/laptops that have lower res, I can't see the bottom part, and have to resize the popup each time to use it.

You don't need grep when you use awk.
Try
Code: Select all
sensors | awk '$1$2=="Core0:" {print substr($3,2)}'

That works!
Thanks @MochiMoppel

Most of my laptops, pcs, I find to get better picture of temp from reading CPU core. So, I have this line in generic conky setup that reads it - from sensors command. coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Package id 0: +38.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C) Core 0: +39.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = ...

fredx181 gumanzoy I added firmware-misc-nonfree, test build one with initrd.img. The warnings went away. Thanks. But i don't know why mkinitramfs wants to add and modprobe i915 module. Better to not do it at initrd stage. So, better to not include firmware-misc-nonfree, and ignore the warnings?

dcung

- In some case(s) the ethernet driver tg3 was not detected properly, should be fixed now I don't usually create initrd.img. Apart that I don't use it (yet), I also saw these warnings when I create build with initrd.img. I thought I try building one with initrd.img - here are the warnings, which I ...

dcung

@dcung perhaps ZoneMinder would work for you? How many cameras are local, how many remote? Motioneye is the GUI front end for managing and viewing the program motion , which does the motion detection and streaming. So there would be two separate locations for the configuration files, one for the ...

Found now that I made a mistake in the mkinitrd scriipt in dog-boot-bookworm-20221013, re-uploaded with fix, so should be ok now for when making new build. Thanks for noticing ! :thumbup: I re-run the build XFCE4. Yep - 'problem' went away now. :thumbup2: [0;36mAs chosen, not creating initrd.img ...

- changes done accordingly in the MakeLive repository (for when making a new mklive-bookworm or mklive-daedalus build): in dog-boot-bookworm-20211113.tar.gz, dog-boot-daedalus-20220711.tar.gz and initrdport-bullseye.tar.gz I thought I do a refresh, kicked off the marathon build.
