I asked @IdfbAn to raise this topic..........

I have no problem with the suggestion to update the VoidPup kernels personally, but felt that other users should be asked their views. @jrb @Marv @one

I guess if no views are expressed before the next build, then we will go ahead with the update ...

Hi @peebee, just thought I'd let you know how much I'm enjoying the VoidPups. Nicely done.

I played with the stock versions for a while and then downloaded woof-CE-2024-03-14 and started building. Once I had figured I needed the xml2 package using BookwormPup64 for the first successful build ...

Looks to me like Ubuntu 24.04 is going usrmerge.........either partially or fully
bash and udev have already changed which has caused recent problems
so the question is should NoblePup32 go usrmerge?

it would make all .sfs which contain bin or sbin or lib unusable.........
and would make all old ...

Copy libfreeblpriv3.so libmozsqlite3.so libnss3.so libnssutil3.so libsoftokn3.so from /opt/firefox to /usr/lib

The first command line errors were for libnss3.so & libnssutil3.so. After those two were copied there was an error about not recognizing a command, but not requesting a specific ...

It occurs to me that I may be giving incomplete instructions.
So, to run the latest firefox in xenial32:
Download https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/files/Other/LxPupSc/browsers/firefox.sfs/download
Click on the firefox.sfs and choose install and yes to copy.
Go to the internet menu and ...

jrb

I need to breathe some life into this Puppy.

@houndstooth I'm not sure whether you just want to continue using xenial32 or go through the painful process of chasing down multiple (sometimes very multiple) dependencies.

As I mentioned above xenial will already run the latest firefox (not ...

Current Chromium is working by pilfering current Firefox?

How do you determine those files?

Those of us that are interested in packaging/building things/making things work

Or are just downright obsessive.

jrb

Surprisingly enough I have got peebee's ChromiumUBB.sfs to work in xenial32 by copying these files:

libfreeblpriv3.so
libmozsqlite3.so
libnss3.so
libnssutil3.so
libsoftokn3.so

from the latest 32bit firefox into /usr/lib. That's it, no other changes.

Current Chromium is working by ...

I found firefox 78esr runs the best on 32bit xenial.

firefox esr now requires a much newer glibc. I forget exactly which.

Normal firefox only needs glibc 2.17 (tahr) so I suspect it will work in xenial for some time yet.

I'm typing this wondering the last Cr version to work
in 32-Xenial, as Bionic is the last full Upup, & later 32s while looking good have wonky compatibility.

I'm thinking that I might just keep trying kernels, you've got lots to choose from, and see what happens.
:lol: First one of @ozsouth's I tried, huge-6.2.9-ubun64oz-ao-PRE.tar.bz2 worked with no hesitation whatsoever. Very fast booting. I had to run it through my zdrv_cp2deb script first and get ...

jrb

@jrb - Marv's suggestion is quite possible.

I edited my 5.10.174 kernel & it gave an error, waited 60 sec, then booted, ran & shutdown normally.
The stock kernel seems to have created a file (in the folder with all the sfs's) upupinitmodules.txt (it isn't in the E1 iso),
which contains: i2c_hid ...

I don't (knock on forehead) have any delays to speak of on any of my i5 based lappies no matter what kernel I throw at them. About 17 seconds button push to usefullness from the grub4dos SSD and just the expected 5 second delays and read times from USB3. Does your balky laptop have either an sd ...

jrb

@jrb - I wonder at what stage your boot is stalling? I had those problems years ago - seemed to be an issue finding root, so I set labels on all my ext (or ntfs) partitions via gparted. I used date & letters, i.e. 170423a , 170423b etc. Then in grub, I added to the linux (kernel) line (for example ...

With a couple of minor issues, pwidgets-2.6.0-x86_64 from here, https://wikka.puppylinux.com/Pwidgets will function OOTB under the Jammy64's. The two issues are:

(1) The xonclock issue again reared its head. The xonclock binary is what enables pwidgets to display Analog Clocks. But xonclock has a ...

With jrb-E1 I noticed two files whose purpose wasn't apparent: zdrv_cp2deb and zdrv_rst. What are they for/ do they do; and how does one use them?
As @ozsouth explained (thanks), zdrv_cp2deb will convert any zdrv with the older file structure to the new Debian USR_SYMLINKS system. Just have the ...

The number I was referring to is in Rox filer - Options... - Icon View - Automatic small icons
I had never noticed that setting before and I find that it doesn't seem to work in E1 or in Bionic64. Do you know of a Puppy where it works?

You don't need a desktop icon to change Options. Just open a ...

jrb

With the standard settings Rox should change to small icons at a set number, but it doesn't.
I'm not sure I understand this. Which set number are you referring to?

It occurred to me that you might be talking about the icon size in the menu bar in Rox so I tried changing that, with no luck ...

Could someone tell me what is preventing Rox from using the correct icon size, please?

I'm currently using D1 but the behaviour hasn't varied.

With the standard settings Rox should change to small icons at a set number, but it doesn't.
If I set small icons, nothing happens.
If I set huge icons ...

I made a usrmerge 6.1.23 64bit kernel (/lib /sbin symlinks from /usr) with sources & headers. Tested OK in D3 - see forum Kernels section.

I can confirm, it boots up and runs nicely on all my hardware, UEFI and BIOS. Nice work @ozsouth.

OK, New ISO at page 1 post 1

Changes include Ubuntu files up to date, PupMTP android mounter on Filesystem menu (Thanks @Marv), Encfs Folder Encrypt on Utility menu, Lame mp3 encoder.

The PupMTP android mounter opens a GUI for me but I have no android equipment to test it on. I followed @Marv's ...

Missed being able to transfer files/pictures to and from from my open source android flipphone in jammypup64. Path of least resistance for me was to install PupMTP 1.2 by pet from here https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=1029389#p1029389, simple-mtpfs-0.3.0-x86_64_common64.pet ...

I really would like this project/build to develop further and not stagnate or be abandoned.

If you're only worried about security, you need this Puppy to be rebuilt with the latest Ubuntu 22.04 packages every once in a while, and update your Puppy.

I can do that. I haven't abandoned this ...

OK, New ISO at page 1 post 1

The major change is new stable huge-5.15.85-kernel-kit.tar.bz2 by @dimkr which has booted nicely on everything I've tried it on. Thanks, dimkr .

Just in case something isn't working with this kernel, audio etc, I have also included two scripts in the ISO which should ...

I just updated the croc .pet packages in the first post to 0.2. Not much difference, just got rid of a non-functioning menu entry.

Also, I could not invoke the Python pip command in terminal.

So had to install this using:

I was attempting to compile some applications today using the DevX file for D1 and got some errors.

I had also tried the same with FP64-95 and only of the two applications was compiled successful due to an outdated OpenSSL.

@dimkr The 5.15.85 kernel from here: https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/actions/runs/4519481350 now succeeds in installing to (using StickPup) and booting from a USB flashdrive on my non-UEFI hardware. The previous 5.15.85 failed. Nothing UEFI here to test on.
