Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

It's a do-ocracy, and it goes both ways. People contribute when they want to, but they don't have to address a user request when they don't want to or have something more important to do.

I certainly can do that, but I have no use for this package (always excluded from my builds) and prefer not to maintain a petbuild.

Build 53 now uses efilinux and a standard Puppy vmlinuz. The kernel command-line is configurable via efilinux.cfg.

This bug is fixed in the woof-CE fork of ROX-Filer, https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/r ... ee728d5f2e.

This will get fixed in Fossapup64 if it ever gets rebuilt with latest woof-CE.

Thanks @Clarity, I appreciate the feedback but GRUB/UEFI/Samba/etc' related issues are not the focus here, only graphics-related stuff that might be affected by the use of Xwayland.

You'll need to modify /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit - remove the create_zram_swap call.

That's interesting @LateAdopter. I thought Firefox said it was using VA API, and a 4K 60 FPS video indeed took %3 CPU. Maybe Firefox has that workaround in place.

I feel sure he would welcome comments.........

Yep, that's why every change I push is in a pull request and goes through at least one extra pair of eyes.

I think nobody ever used finn, even if and when it worked.

Leafpad has no print function

Fixed in https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/pull/2295

Geany seems painfully slow when scrolling down through a text file.

Not sure if https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/pull/2296 will fix this, but it should at least improve the situation.

https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... 2294/files adds VA API drivers, to make video decoding faster, at least in on some systems.

Once this one is merged into woof-CE, I'll publish another Cagepup64.

Yes @josejp2424, it's always the same place: https://github.com/dpupos/woof-CE/releases

Looks like downgrading the kernel to latest 5.4.x doesn't change anything on the Dell Vostro 14 5490. Still the same black screen issue @01micko is seeing on Dell Latitude E7270, and the errors are identical.

Bionic64 is old, and its mksquashfs is old enough not to have zstd compression support. Just change SFSCOMP in _00build.conf to something that works, or use a newer Puppy to run woof-CE. Alternatively, you can build Puppy directly on GitHub.

I'll try to switch to the woof-CE build of 5.4.x to see if the black screen issue is gone.

Maybe 5.10 is the source of more than one problem.

In the UEFI setup. See if it offers enable CSM.

This laptop doesn't have this option and the setup screen even says that in bold letters

Great work @josejp2424!

Amazing stuff, now that UEFI boot works, I got the empty tray issue reproduced on this Dell Vostro 14 5490 (16 GB, 10510U, MX250):

How about fixing the shutdown issue - Never had this issue with other Pups.

I hope it's a race condition between Cage's death and xwin that happens only on fast or slow machines, so I prefer to test on this new Dell first and hope I'll reproduce the shutdown issue too.
