it is a deliberate choice of the user I don't see any reason why someone would want X to think that the internal display is still enabled (and keep the JWM tray and open windows there) after the lid is closed. xrandr should say the same, but which option? I don't remember, but without the xrandr ca...

I am playing around with Vanilliadpup 11 again. How do I sett Firefox to open maximized under labwc? I haven't tried this myself but try to add this to ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml: <windowRule identifier="firefox"> <action name="Maximize" direction="value" /> </windowRule> ...

Unloaded SFS 5 Mb / 2048 = .2% = little. Yes, a *mounted* SFS doesn't add much to RAM consumption, if this SFS sits on disk. But if the SFS is copied to RAM by initrd and it's 4 GB on disk, then it's going to eat 4 GB of RAM (the size of the SFS) even if the applications inside the SFS are unused. ...

CD, DVD, USB-Stick Maybe it's time to reorder or even drop this list, most Puppy users that boot from removable media probably use a flash drive. Many don't have an optical drive, and some have one but never use it. These require little or no RAM when not in use. This is inaccurate, an application ...

Where is the git history of these projects? How can we audit the source code and see what's changed when most of it came from one big "initial commit"?

If you want to write a new 'fdrv trimmer' that's better than kernel-kit's one, I recommend testing on a >= Skylake laptop, especially with an AMD or NVIDIA GPU. The missing firmware is often SOF (audio) firmware that's required since Skylake AFAIK, WiFi firmware (>=802.11ac) or GPU firmware.

X thinks the monitor is still turned on, in my case. Question was if the display visibly turns off or not. Does it? Where did you find what X "thinks"? The panel and some windows are still on the laptop monitor, which is turned off, and the window manager still allows me to move windows t...

t turns off and disables the internal display on lid close Third attempt: @Marv 's Fujitsus (and my Fujitsu, Acer, HP and Lenovo) all turn off the internal display without the need for any software. I read that this is done via magnets in the display frame. Or are you saying that this mechanism doe...

I've been following this discussion though I don't use external displays and my Fujitsu S761 and S762 laptops all do turn off the display on lid close. We all agree that the display turns off automatically when the system is suspended. But the new code has nothing to do with suspend - it turns off ...

MochiMoppel At least on my displays, they don't turn off on lid close (unless the system is suspended). This is handled in software, something needs to disable the display (so X moves windows away from it) and turn it off (so no backlight, heat and power drain) while the system keeps running. You c...

BookwormPup64 is probably the only 'mainstream' Puppy that's new enough for this device. Others have an old kernel (which is swappable) but also old Mesa, and you need both to be new enough.

I never really understood this WAR on systemD. There is an apparent hatred that I cant get my head around. It is not perfect, but so is what is currently used. Debian works either way, correct? "War" is a big word for a software compatibility issue. Puppy uses busybox init and not systemd...

See viewtopic.php?t=9113, it sacrifices everything possible including hardware support and performance for smaller size.

For AppImages to work, you probably need to install libfuse2.

The so-called 'trimming' in firmware_picker.sh is very problematic. Some drivers don't use a hardcoded, constant name like x.bin that appears in a firmware: line in modinfo output, but $something.bin (and format x or y into this template at runtime). firmware_picker.sh doesn't handle these cases cor...

IMO Ubuntu-based Puppy is no longer a good option. Ubuntu is systemd-only (some packages don't work in Puppy), with Wayland as default (X.Org is on the way out), with many packages replaced with snaps (snap depends on systemd), with narrower hardware support compared to Debian (Canonical is consider...

dimkr

No, it really depends on the application.

I think it's time to put F96-CE there instead of Fossapup64.

Just wish it had a more "meaningful" name...............

It's just as meaningful as "S15Pup", if not more

I see it depends on systemd and NetworkManager, two things you don't have in Puppy. I installed with: curl -f https://downloads.surfshark.com/linux/debian-install.sh --output surfshark-install.sh sh surfshark-install.sh GUI starts fine (under Utility menu) after some additional tweaking, but I haven...

I recommend that you don't use Ventoy, it's built from a big stack of outdated (some patched) components. If it works, it can work for the wrong reasons, and if it doesn't work, your time is better spent on isolating the issue in the kernel or the boot loader. Nobody is working on improved Ventoy su...

I could go on, but I'll stop here. :) I don't understand how this bird's-eye view of activities in this forum and inaccurate description of Puppy's history (which happens to @mention people who are not here anymore, in part due to posts like this) addresses any of the concerns raised here. I don't ...

@wizard I'm not sure if there's any missing driver: as far as I see, all required drivers are built-in to the kernel (and nvme0 is detected before init is started, at a very early stage). Can you share the GRUB configuration file?

dimkr

If you boot BookwormPup64 from a flash drive, does it recognize the drive? Or, is there any distro that boots fine from this drive?

Please share the output of these commands from any distro, where the drive is recognized (not necessarily at boot time):

Code: Select all

lsmod
lspci
dmesg
fdisk -l

Vanilla Dpup 9.3.40 and 10.0.52 include https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/pull/4278, to gather feedback. It works fine for me.

dimkr

I think it would be best to automate the build process of BookwormPup64 so anyone can create projects based on it or just continue its development if needed (and that would be the first time somebody adopts a Puppy flavor after its developer disappears or loses interest). If the build process is aut...

It's a writable image, it's not read-only. Maybe you moved the files out of it, so now it appears empty.

Maybe try to redownload?

The X directory does contain the boot files only.

What do you mean by "boot files"?

Is there a way to retrieve the contents?

The contents of SFSs? You can view their contents just like any other SFS.

One thing I did notice is that the initrd has a different extension in the latest build ie zst instead of gz.

Don't take initrd.zst from there! It won't work with 10.0.x.

Take only vmlinuz, ucode.cpio, fdrv and zdrv.

Vanilladpup is configured for Debian The opposite, it's the Debian kernel - it's built from the Debian kernel source as-is, without big patches like aufs, inside a clean Debian container with Debian's GCC, etc'. And it's built with Debian's kernel configuration plus few (130 out of 10k+, which is a...

@Jasper In your case it's /dev/loop5, hence /dev/loop5p1 and /dev/loop5p2.
