1- In regarding to your new broken sound problem, assuming you've put the above .asoundrc file in /root, you can probably remove it and reboot. I'm assuming you didn't have one there before (bionicpup64 is set to use a different file in /etc). [a .asoundrc.bak might be there however]

2. If you do ...

Not the ideal place to install the browser, but anyway, in that example, you should go to terminal:

Code: Select all

chown -vR spot:spot /root/Downloads/extracted-tar.xz/tor-browser

And then, to start tor:

Code: Select all

cd /root/Downloads/extracted-tar.xz/tor-browser/
run-as-spot ./start-tor-browser.desktop

On fossapup 9.5, I just downloaded the portable you've kindly provided (https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=1150), updated it through the included script, and it still worked fine. I wonder if the issue is the update process that caused it not to launch for you? Edge is getting bigger and ...

bigpuppyfan

You do need to to do a restart of the window manager after you have installed it..... this calls fix-chromium.sh - you can do it manually if you want.

Thanks peebee. As I did this under PUPMODE 5, it hadn't run the script automatically, but the script has allowed chromium to run. Although still ...

Thanks for all the work into Woof-CE and all the pups, peebee. NoblePup is just as great :thumbup:

An issue I've encountered: the chromium sfs listed to download doesn't work, and this appears to be secondary to usrmerge. Have tried the debian version (https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/files ...

bigpuppyfan

Thank you peebee and dimkr. Had come to say that I remembered I had the last updated 5.4 kernel from the kit elsewhere, while doing some experiments with vanilla dpup, but you beat me to it.

It is possible, but ...

bigpuppyfan

I wonder if it would be possible to include in the next schedule, a 5.4 kernel? I used to occasionally download them, but noticed there haven't been artifacts of this LTS branch for a few months. Unfortunately I accidentally erased the USB drive which had puppy (fossapup64 9.5). No big deal, as I ...

bigpuppyfan

Wow, that's truly amazing. Many thanks for your reply dimkr. And thank you and everyone who has contributed to puppy

Apologies for resurrecting this old thread, but thought the question would fit in here, for continuity

Does just replacing func in the JammyPup32 build with the new func from your .pet work?

That's correct, it's just /usr/local/pequalizer/func that needs changing

Try running

To get them working, you'll first need to know what are the keycodes for those buttons. On terminal, run xev. Every time you press a key, you will get an output in terminal of a few lines. For instance, I pressed F1 (while that white box is showing), and got

KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic ...

Thanks for your kind input dimkr
And if you only take zdrv from 9.5, this won't do anything, because the kernel is different and can't use the old drivers.

I had used the kernel I use with fossa (5.4.249) with the accompanying zdrv

But dwl wouldn't launch. On further inspection, it seems that ...

bigpuppyfan

Undoubtedly on behalf of the puppy user community, many thanks to all developers for their continued efforts, hosts, and dimkr for creating and maintaining vanilla dpup.

Just my feedback on what I found, don't expect any fixes, it's just in case someone else has had one of these problems and knows ...

Just saw a link to this post on the vanilla section.
Have not used BW64 yet, so not sure if this would work
Have you tried adding modprobe.blacklist=nouveau to the boot entry (append line)? And/or remove the nouveau drivers from zdrv
That's how I do it when I update the kernel and have to ...

You should be setting the shortcut in JWM --> JWM hotkeys instead

EDIT: Ignore, hadn't read your post completely and that you are not using JWM

Nope, this is incorrect. root and spot are configured to use the same PulseAudio instance, the one running as spot. For example, if you change the volume in pavucontrol running as either root or spot, this change affects audio playing applications running as either user.

Oh right, good to know ...

bigpuppyfan

gychang Haven't tried a puppy with pulseaudio yet, so not sure if the same applies, but assuming it works like pequalizer for the traditional alsa-based puppies: if you are running an equalizer as spot, you would also need to run the application generating the sound stream as spot (ie, the browser ...

bigpuppyfan

Indeed @dimkr. Just attempted my quarterly kernel update today for bionicpup64, from your biweekly kernel-kit at github, and the recent build (4.19.275) no longer boots (fails to create an empty aufs stack). 4.19.264 works fine.

There are a few 5.x kernels for bionic, with sources, generously provided and hosted by rockedge: https://rockedge.org/kernels/

Do you happen to have a backup of your xorg.conf from before you installed getnvidia?
Also, which driver is currently being used? (you can find out with lsmod in terminal, or running the puppy welcome screen shortcut)?

If you don't have a copy of the previous xorg.conf, you could experiment running ...

bigpuppyfan

Try uninstalling the getnvidia program. You already have the driver, so it's not really necessary. As long as nouveau is blacklisted, or not included in the puppy libraries, the nvidia driver should load automatically. That's how I have it in my puppy - never used the getnvidia (wouldn't work on ...

bigpuppyfan

@mikeslr @shinobar
I wonder if someone has asked himself why I didn't use getnvidia in fossa, build the driver under 5.4.53.
Then switch the kernel in bionic with the 5.4.53 and, finally, load the previous obtained driver. (maybe that was the original mikeslr's question, before the second cup of ...

Haven't looked at the devx 9.6, but on fossapup64 9.5 I often update the kernel, getting it from the kernel-kit. When I tried to compile the nvidia driver, it complained that the compiler version was different from the one used to build the kernel. The log you've attached seems to display ...

Choose Frisbee as your default network manager (ie, double-click the connect icon in the desktop). Then uncheck enable wireless and/or connect wifi automatically

Presumably you're not running Firefox/Chrome as spot, and downloading to a folder outside of /home/spot ?

Which is the computer manufacturer and model? I know how to do it on a Dell quite easily.

Thanks for the input @ozsouth
I must have had some issue with the path all those times; I tried it again with rsync and this time no issues

bigpuppyfan

Not sure if this is a bug, if it is by design/security, something that has changed or if is something I am misunderstanding.

On a remastered fossapup64 and bionicpup64, I am trying to add a small file to /etc/rc.d and /etc/modprobe. This is on PUPMODE 5.

Rather than remastering the whole thing, I ...
