Bionicpup64 8.0 Simply trying to use ``run-as-spot``, or ``su spot`` does not work as it exits due to permission being denied. Both for ash, and sh. Even executing browsers via their menu entry does not work, as they can write to places outside /home/spot. The flags for puppy are ``pfix=nocopy ...

You cannot use character devices in GRUB. Rather GRUB presents two options: a) select the partition to used as 'root' (that is initial) via UUID b) use its own naming convention such as (hd0,msdos1) etc etc. I prefer searching by UUID as its easier. search --no-floppy --set=root --fs-uuid 9E3E-7F1C ...

Phoenix

A full installation only uses one partition, although depending on the system you may need to place some files in another partition. (UEFI requires booting via efi binaries and looks for a FAT partition with an esp flag). If puppy finds that your RAM is too little it will advise you to create a swap ...

Phoenix

Your answer: the exec icons do not necessarily mean they're useless. They can refer to executables (e.g bash), or binary data that file could not match a pattern to. So do not simply DELETE files with such icons. boot.catalog is a windows thing it appears, and serves as a checksum (?). isolinux.bin ...

Phoenix

Not really, most linux distributions have moved past 32 bit.

Phoenix

Booting in RAM mode also works! Although the GParted version present by default then would be the built-in which is possibly bugged. (Particularly resizing fat32 partitions may give a nasty surprise when you transfer it to a Windows installation for access)

Phoenix

Issue pkg c <package name> in the terminal and it will spit out the file paths.

Phoenix

Upon looking at mentioned location, it seems NOT to be executables. They're rather text files that list files from that packages. So no, do not symlink. And when it comes to libraries you shouldn't symlink so.5 to so.4 (possible version mistmatch). However, you might find where its been placed at by ...

Phoenix

There should be an option by right clicking on the page and selecting 'Save as' or something along that line. There will be a option in the following GTK dialog as to how it will be saved. You can either choose 'Webpage, Complete' or just the page itself.

Phoenix

You can always open an issue, but I think it would be better to simply add into init an option to adjust wait time, otherwise use the default. (e.g 'wait=10', default is 3 seconds.)

Phoenix

davids45 It seems like you don't have UEFI or that it can't find the EFI variables for modification. However the files required for booting are present and will still boot. Select the MBR option and it should work then. Or as I posted earlier, set it up manually. (If you actually have UEFI then you ...

Phoenix

If you really want to it should work like this. Mount your savefile at /initrd/pup_rw (create or put where ever else you want, just not in a place that the savefile has a record of. Don't put it in /root) Then issue mount -o remount -o prepend:/initrd/pup_rw / This will cause all files of the ...

Phoenix

You could try unloading the relevant modules (don't do this for your integrated graphics) and you can invoke 'xorgwizard' at the terminal to configure video. As well nomodeset is a way to prevent the kernel from defining the resolution at start up.

Phoenix

G'day, I'm hoping to convert an Acer E-51 laptop with Windows10 to a triple booter. Keeping a reduced Windows10, trying Mint, and then a collection of 64-bit Puppies. 1. With the W10 drive wizard, I shrank Drive C from 900GB to 130GB and made 3 new ntfs partitions, for Mint, shared data and Puppies ...

Phoenix

Have you verified from the terminal this is the case? (If you load the sfs, will the newly launched terminal be able to see it?)

Phoenix

If you say bleeding edge, that would mean the latest git commit, and also mean a fair amount of inability and untested features. You can simply git clone: git clone --depth 1 --branch emacs-27 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs.git As well emacs-gtk package is required for building. Since Perl ...

Phoenix

I have this issue and I can't figure out why this is happening. This seems to be happening when running without a savefile/folder and booting with the pfix=nocopy parameter in which case the Puppy partition will normally be identified as /initrd/mnt/dev_save. I'm not sure if this issue is ...

Phoenix

Well yes, but the devx contains everything needed! Usually its just a simple ./configure or 'make'! But sometimes people like to use things besides the typical ./configure. However for this you don't need anything else than devx! It's entirely possible the BIOS has no option to disable it. Which ...

Phoenix

I saw the mei-amt-check app that checks if there is the Intel AMT. Does it check all chips on your computer or just the CPU? Also I couldn't find it for puppy, just for PClinux & void Linux: https://pkgs.org/search/?q=mei-amt-check Is there any way to make the app work for puppy or do I have to ...

Phoenix

Why not use the devx provided? It will provide everything needed for compiling/developing. As well, what does it say when X.org fails to start?

Phoenix

@666philb It would be appreciated if you could get on this issue soon, I already checked again in quickpet and there isn't a change to the parted version used.

Phoenix

Intel, and what is wpcufreq supposed to do? If it is supposed to set the governor, it clearly isn't being changed to set 'powersave'. I tried it in my install of Bionicpup64 8.0 using the kernel it comes with. CPU Frequency scaling tool opens showing it is using the intel_pstate driver. Selecting ...

Phoenix

Okay, but do I keep the kernel size to minimum? Only using only the kernel parts needed for this computer from Fossapup64 kernal. If you specifically only want whatever configuration that enabled your display to work normally, and chop out the rest, you will need to compile said kernel and also use ...

Phoenix

Our ways of using sfs files probably slightly differ. I use the applications as sfs's mostly temporarily. In other words I load it only when I need it, then launch the application added by sfs-load and when everything done I usually unload the sfs. Hence the statement that the ram usage of the sfs ...

Phoenix

Ah man looks like another of those . Next problem root# sh -c "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libparted.so.2:/usr/local/lib/libparted-fs-resize.so.0 /usr/local/libexec/gpartedbin" /usr/local/libexec/gpartedbin: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by /usr/local/lib/libparted.so.2 ...

Phoenix

:shock: Uh yeah I forgot to pack in libgtkmm, that is why it was listed as a dependency. I will re-squash it then with libgtkmm-3.0. To be more specific, it is a version of (lib)parted that has the required patch for fixing the resizing bug. When it resizes, it should take a copy of the boot sector ...

Phoenix

I checked already in the GUI and there is no such driver provided, nor in the original 4.19.23 kernel released in the iso. I already removed the driver, rebooted, then check.

Phoenix

Bionicpup64 8.0 comes with a GParted/parted version that has a known regression. When resizing a FAT32 partition it will use psuedo-random data to write to the bootcode. However since Windows only looks for a specific pattern it won't read the said partition and claim it requires formatting. This ...

Phoenix

Celeron N3550 Ondemand/powersave Installed on a USB originally via ISO, then copied off and back on. Already updated and rebooted (and booted many times) CPU Frequency Scaling works as intended on the kernel, setting to 'powersave' clocks down to the minimum. I simply forked from https://github.com ...

Phoenix

The governors work as intended, it is the fact that they don't persist across boots that is my issue. And schedutil is useless on ck's kernel as it's meant for a different scheduler, not MuQSS scheduler, and thereby sends it up to the max. And does a modern celeron count as in i5?
