That is the problem. I thought the removal of the pdrv= entry did the trick but in fact it was the replacement of vmlinuz and zdrv by another one that made the difference. So nothing that I did in grub.cfg seems to matter, with the original S15pup64 iso-files, booting hangs for about 5 minutes ...

Ronny

I thought it worked but in fact it doesn't. Nothinh that I do in grub.cfg seems to matter. Only by replacing vmlinuz and zdrv could I get the booting process end normally. Let me recap a little: I tried with pdrv= 1) the uuid, 2) sda5, 3) puppies (label of my partition) I tried with and without edd ...

Ronny

Hi guys, It's the middle of the night here but I kept thinking about this stuff... I tried, changed and rechanged all your recommanded changes in my grub.cfg but to no avail. Then I removed the vmlinuz and zdrv from the s15 folder, replaced them with the ones from a fossa64-less folder that I also ...

I just quickly did a new grub bootloader install. I am in Bookwormpup64 and made use of Frugalpup V41. -sda1 is a fat32, 470MiB, boot partition -sda2 is an extended partition, sda5, 6 and 7 are ext4 partitions (sda5 - with label "puppies" - contains the different puppy folders ) -sda8 is a 3Gb swap ...

Ronny

I am back...
Didn't work for me, not by putting set=root before -fs--uuid
and
nor by setting pdrv=sda2 (my puppies are on the 2nd partition)

Ronny

OK, I'll try it a little later and keep you posted.

Ronny

Thanks Wiz57

but it does not make a difference.
I tried with
pdrv=5c702df6-3bb2-44d1-90ec-4bfafc76695e
and
pdrv=uuid 5c702df6-3bb2-44d1-90ec-4bfafc76695e

"puppies" is the label I gave with gparted to the partition where the s15 folder is on.

Hi everyone, I am trying out S15Pup64 and encounter a very long delay when booting. It takes minutes before booting continues while the screen shows "loading initrd.gz". The boot is eventually succesful but after a long time. I do this on an older Dell Latitude E5500, 4Gb ram. I did download the ...

Ronny

I did it :D I made a new folder in /root : poweroff I made a new script in that folder also named poweroff contents of that script: #!/bin/sh sed -i s/^PUPMODE=.*/PUPMODE=12/ /etc/rc.d/PUPSTATE ; poweroff Then I linked that script to my desktop, gave it a nice icon and made a new ydrv. Now when I ...

Ronny

Good morning, @Mikeslr : I changed the limit from 60 to 6, then made a new ydrve and after rebooting checked usr/sbin/shutdownconfig to confirm the change. But at shutdown nothing changed the message to make a save folder still stays on the screen for 60sec. @MochiMoppel: I would very much like to ...

Ronny

Did try the schutdown change to pupmode 12 in rc.d/pupstate but indeed, after reboot, I again get the question to make a save folder. After that I did look around a bit in usr/sbin/shutdownconfig and changed some timings but for the moment to no avail. I will put up with the notice at shutdown, it ...

Ronny

Hello, I am running bookwormpup64 without a save folder. I first saved all the desktop adaptions, installed printer and scanner driver, etc etc, in a save folder and then made a Ydrv out of it (with nicOS utility). For all my other apps (browser, coolreader etc.) I use portable apps on another ...

Ronny

Hello,
Sorry for the late reply.
I did get it right, in Pmount I did tick the box "mount partition at boot" saved and then made a new ydrve.
So this one is solved for me.
Thanks for the help,
Ronny

Ronny

Thanks for your help
I'll do as you write and will post on it tomorrow.

Ronny

When I worked with a save folder all was perfect. I had links on my desktop to several portabel appsor appimages (FF,Coolreader,KeepassXC). After I made the ydrv it went wrong. I can access the portables after I mount the partition manually, so it is not that bad. I will search the forum and try to ...

Ronny

Hi all, Ik have bookworm64 on a usb stick and working without a save file/folder. I changed my save folder to a ydrv with NicOS Utility. But now the link I put on the desktop does not work anymore. FF portable is on another partition on my usb stick. Is there a way to make the link work? Thnak you ...

Ronny

I just noticed that I am asking a question concerning F96CE in the section about Fossapup64.
So I will ask my question again in the F96CE section.

Once again, thank you all for your help and recommendations.
Ronny

Ronny

My personalization for F96CE is more or less done. I needed to install "linux-firmware-nonfree_1.14ubuntu1_all.deb" because my wireless card was not detected. I installed "simple-scan" because in Xsane, there was no button for a wireless scanner, only usb, scsi and parallel. One problem; When ...

Ronny

Perfect Guys,

I'll start my customization all over with F96CE_4.
And read up on saving them in a sfs.
I'll keep you posted

Ronny

Thanks for all your advice. I started all over with Fossa64-less. If I understand it well, Fossa64-less is much more up to date than the original Fossapup64. My needs are are few, mostly browsing the net, some music, printing and scanning, reading epub's, keeping passwords, anki (for learning ...

Ronny

OK, I will leave my puppy as is, ram is good with pfix-nocopy. And I might spend 16€ on an extra 2Gb memory for my Dell E5500 because eventually I will try Bookworm on it and I guess it will use more ram than fossapup 9.5 I am using mostly portable apps (Midori, FF, Anki, Coolreader, KeepassXC, etc.) ...

Ronny

Hi amethyst, the code to remove Palemoon worked perfectly and reduced the adrv by 20M. Ram usage after startup also reduced by 20M. I suppose that I can adapt the code to remove other things in all the ..drv...sfs, or is it more complicated than that? pfix=nocopy reduced ram usage at startup much ...

Ronny

That is what I wanted to obtain, the less possible RAM usage after startup. I will try the pfix=nocopy and compare the Ram-usage after startup. I made my frugal install with: fossapup64-9.5.iso (kernel 5.4.53) and save-folder. If possible I would like to know how to remove the build-in browser ...

Ronny

Hello, I am running Fossapup64 on my old Dell Latitude E5500 with 2Gb of ram in pupmode=13. Since I am only using portable web browsers (Midori and FF) I wonder if it is worth the effort to remove the build-in web brower? Would I have a bit more ram available? If yes, what is be the best way to ...

Ronny

Hi, Just to maybe help someone with installing an Epson printer in Fossapup64, Vanilla Dpup9 and 10 This is how I got things going. Maybe it's not the best way but at least I got it working like this :-) I also lost some time because the printer and scanner were not found when the firewall is ON. I ...

Ronny

Thank you both very much. I think I can live with that
I suppose it will be sorted out in one of the next versions.
Best regards
Ron

I installed numlockx and made the numlockx.desktop file. When starting up all seems well, in Firefox and in a text file, the numlock is (and stays) active and i can keep inserting numbers. But weirdly, when I log in somewhere (tried on Puppy Forum and two other sites, the numlock turns back off ...

Ronny

Thank you very very much.
Works perfectly.

And while I'm at it... how do I turn on num lock automatically at startup?
Don't find that option in the setup anymore.
Ron

Ronny

Hello, I did installed both Vanilla Dpups on a USB stick and both work very well with added portable apps. But the font on my laptop screen are rather small. So I tried to change the global font size in desktop settings but that does not work. The fonts stay the same after I restarted the graphical ...
