All major calling apps have app images of web interface so they all work in linux.
I've used the appimages of Viber,Zoom and WhatsApp. I use the web version of skype and Webex. It's amazing that with a 400MB puppy/dog you can make your old PC laptop a remote lesson system. I can attend online ...

The sfs files are mounted and added to the overlay stack at the init stage, very unlikely IMO that it's 'read' at a later stage (and nothing I changed for that compared to Bullseye).

Is it possible that my system is too quick and we reach a point where it tries to show the desktop but it still ...

trister

(edit 2): I noticed that the main problem was caused my 2 squashsfs files with MANY files (21k and 15k - thet contained conty.sh & Wine prefixes with installed apps). This would be the answer to the problem but I was wondering why in Bulleye I had no problem with these ( I use these files for more ...

trister

Btw, Thanks Thanks fred.
I created a backport kernel and included the trixie firmware and it worked (without compiling or making sfs etc).

Btw, I created a merged system. I needed to change only 5-6 of my files and it seems to work. (Assuming that the only difference are the bin,lib,lib64,sbin ...

trister

But if you don't keep the changes, I don't think it will work, since reboot is needed to activate the driver.

yes, that seems to be the problem. During compile there are some extra changes happening to the filesystem.

Maybe if you make squashfs with those two files (?).

The squashfs I made ...

Also, I now have another issue.
I have an rtl 8821CU USB Wifi. In bullseye I had managed to compile it for kernel k-6.1.0-0.deb11.13-amd64 (I compiled from here : https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210916 ). In boomworm I can't compile it because it says it expects a merged filesystem and bin ...

trister

It seems to me like it doesn't produce output at the start of the boot process (during the part which it loads initrd , squashfs files etc). It could send signal to HDMI instead of VGA or something like that and it then does the correct detections.
Is there a way to force detection or output to ...

trister

While with wine you can click on .exe files and run them ,sometimes it is more complex.

I found the PlayOnLinux version very easy to use for bigger programs +64bit windows apps.

Run-as-user county.sh PlayOnLinux4
will run playonlinux without any prior installation.

I've created a link eg
ln ...

trister

Thanks for the responce fred.
This is the first dog that was almost 100% "drop-in" replacement of my bullseye system. I just changed 01-filesystem and the kernel files and the system booted. This is the easiest upgrade process ever :)

@trister
I used the appimage
Tested making a build with ...

Update2 : Adding kernel parameter "i915.modeset=1" starts the system but again the monitor shows the end of the boot process. Any ideas (kernel parameter on how to see the boot process from the start?

Update1:
I booted again (let it a minute just to make sure the system is booted) and while the ...

I don't know if it helps, but I have a Core Duo E8400 HP Desktop and it won't run any kernel much past Stretch.

As always nice work fred181 :)
I decided to try again with bookworm. I planned to do it after you added the option for non-merged filesystem.

I have an issue and I don't know if it has been mentioned before. It is too simple to describe so the results are thousands.

I have a brand new i5-14600k ...

trister

I still use the appimage I posted above plus some more . The other appimages I use them for specific scenarios since I find them more buggy (thats why I didn't post them here)

My update is for another option.
It is not exactly an appimage but it is based on that logic.

It is conty.sh ( https ...

Hello,
What are the differences between kernel k-6.1.0-0.deb11.21-amd64-20691 (k-6.1.0-0.deb11.21-amd64.squashfs) and k-6.7.12-amd64-9518__v240528 (k-6.7.12-amd64.squashfs) ? 6.7 is 60MB smaller.

I know it's a newer kernel but why is it 60MB smaller? Something is missing?
It contains fewer ...

trister

Sorry for late responce.

Very good job fred :)

I would just like to add a note here.
The problem was not the number of the squashfs files . It was the sum of their characters.
The same problem can occur even with just a few files with big filenames. . That is why I believe that this internal ...

I didn't notice any difference in behavior cause of the old-truncated 01-filessystem.squashfs.
Probably it would be noticeable only if you'd use script e.g. remaster as it depends on some things.
I'd be happy to change the default code in the initrd but the mounted module names all need to have ...

Hello.
This is related to the discussion we did here : https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=34970&hilit=finit#p34970

To sum it up : There is a problem if the size of the text of the squashfs filenames exceed a limit. This is kernel related.
Each time I run the build script I have to modify ...

I guess you meant kernel 6.1.xxx (from backports) ?

Yes. Thats what I mean

Problem Solved!
Ok tried with firmware 6.1.xxx and I can select resolutions in my new PC.

Thanks all for your help

(talking for both EFI and bios)

LICK (run the comnand line version -not the GUI) would be my first option. Worst case scenario is that you will not see the LICK entry.
Make sure that fast boot is disabled. Disabling Secure boot is not always necessary.
Be certain that your windows disk is not ...

k-6.3.0-2-amd64-sid.tar.gz works ok in bullseye.
Nice, but note there can be a disadvantage with this 'sid' kernel, if you need the kernel-headers for compiling it's nearly impossible.
With the kernel from bullseye-backports (currently v6.1) there's no such problem, tell me if you're interested ...

trister

Please run lspci again. Are you now loading the i915 kernel driver?

Supposedly, Xorg is now using the modesetting driver instead of falling back to VESA like before.

The PC is packaged to be tranfered I'll be able to try it either at the end of this week or next week ...

trister

k-6.3.0-2-amd64-sid.tar.gz works ok in bullseye.

I even applied the "file overlay limit fix" in finit (initrd1.xz) and also worked!
