Re: Released: WDLGO_UbuntuFocal64 mini-apt/dpkg experimental system

Reboot problem persisted BUT I was able to pin down an easy fix. Turns out the /sbin/poweroff and the symlink /sbin/reboot were replaced with symlinks for systemd. I mounted a copy of the puppy_fossa64.sfs and copied the two original Puppy versions and overwrote the 2 systemd versions that were ...

Have you tried using 'scrot' for taking screenshots?

Code: Select all

scrot -s   # select a window or full screen

As far as apt installing the mysql-server and getting this running is the current hurdle to overcome.

So close!

I will set up a new Fossa install to keep this one I'm close to success with but do the install procedure again using the latest technology.

that is odd! Are you able to reach the Internet with your current connection? The subnet IP should be 192.168.x.x
For example I have in my router's settings configured for 192.168.0.1-50

Check your router settings. Try to re-connect to your network and note what is happening
