Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Do you know what purpose you have for it? It would help a lot, as if you intend to use it for browsing Precise will be hopelessly outdated to even make a connection.

acpi_video is probably the default interface, but displays DO change.
Have you tried the brightnessctl package? It will provide a more simplified interface (and work with many). Although you may need to sort through output if there are more than one thing controllable by Linux.

Should also mention that the puppy (kernel) itself needs to support sd card boot. (I think mmc and sd cards are very similar but not precise about that)

Secure boot only checks the boot loader, and if the boot loader was configured or programmed it will then check the files to be booted.

Regarding the suggestion of burning fossapup to a USB then trying to boot off the USB, any luck?

I see then. You'll need to find what is occupying so much space via GDmap as aforementioned by rockedge. It's most likely the .cache directory in /root. You can delete that via rm -r /root/.cache

You can get started by forking Woof-CE here: https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE
You will need to sign up.
You can then make changes and PR it to the parent repository. It can be rejected though for a variety of reasons.

What I need now since we verified the computer is not toast is you to press 'e' when you have highlighted Fossapup's entry in the GRUB menu, and then send a photo of its contents!

Ok so yes, you'll need to press 'e' as I said and take a shot of the contents displayed from that menu entry. See you in about 9 hours!

Works fine on firefox 96 on bionicpup64. (Running 5.10-ck kernel build)

You need to run via terminal then instead of 'clicking' on it. @Puppyt

Can you verify the size of the savefile? (Instead of looking at df -h use ls -lh <path/to/directory/of/savefile> Also did you happen... to issue chmod -R by any chance?

You still assuredly has windows so all of the questions given are answerable. Any extra details though are appreciated! Don't panic, and calm down. Your data won't go anywhere until you chose so.

• Where is menu.lst, grub.cfg, etc? What's in it?

• As well where is the puppy located at?

• Also what puppy?

Grub4dos works just fine on my notebook before I changed to grub2. In fact it works just fine on all 64bit computers that I know of.

Well putting enable as an option doesn't really tell intel_pstate what might be expected of it. All it does is just enable the driver. You need to pass 'active' to the kernel line.

The program you remember is called memtest x86. It runs before any operating system is loaded. As well, it could be that you CPU could be struggling. You should be checking via htop to verify that there isn't something else besides memory at hand.
