Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Freenode has stepped up their security/encryption requirement from what I recall. Now you need to connect with SSL. Unless you use ports 8000-8002.
As well the certificates may require updating. But you should be looking to connecting with libera.chat instead as it has moved there.

Correction to my eariler post: It is cupsd not cups

Have you ran it in terminal to see why its crashing? Invoke apulse firefox or just firefox (apulse gives sound but isn't needed to do the operation you're attempting)

Okay then. So it may be worthwhile downloading the package for PulseAudio again since that will bring in everything that comprises PulseAudio and not the fragments that Puppy uses. (Why wasn't the entire PulseAudio built in? Size/nescessity issue) Then try again.

The intel_pstate option shouldn't be needed, as that only toggles the intel_pstate driver, Intel's own driver to be disabled and instead use the default acpi-cpufreq driver. (Also this will have no effect on any ThinkPad that does not use an Intel CPU)

Also you forgot to close with a ".

Also if the BIOS/UEFI does not have any ACPI wakeup configuration options, you can always use the /proc subsystem by the kernel to set the devices.
It is located at /proc/acpi/wakeup and to toggle its state, echo the name of the device. For example XHCI is XHC.

echo XHC > /proc/acpi/wakeup

dd doesn't always work, and if you intend to make a savefile on the USB it won't work. Could you try using Rufus from Windows, or Etcher for Linux?

It may also be that it reawakens... because XHCI is set as a wakeup device. Meaning if you don't disable that your computer will never fall asleep because of your USB, or perhaps a keyboard. (Surface line anyone?)

Yeah, if its not already enabled that will require a full rebuild. And then you may or may not want to ditch the stuff left over from building. The config option is somewhere.. usually they can be looked up.

I believe that Rufus has an option to burn it as an ISO hybrid.

/mnt/sdaN needs to be created for one. Use mkdir to do this.

The new preferred method of 'packaging' the puppy should still be burnable. Just tell Rufus to use dd method instead. (Unzip first via 7z)

Rufus does offer this ability to 'hybrid'.

You do not need to delete the savefile because it asks to create one. It's probably being booted in RAM mode and then when you shutdown it asks. You can simply give it a name that isn't the previous one then and it will give you an option.

The savefile is too small by the way. 3KB will not suffice to put in a filesystem image. (Basically its just a filesystem stuffed inside a file)
