I tried to install the kernel source sfs from sfsget. Unfortunately, it tries to install the Kirkstone devx as a dependency so the install fails. Screenshot.png error.png It seems you use the EasyOS Kirkstone. The topic for Kirkstone is here : https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=9911 NB : ...

Tried this out tonight. Booted right up without any problem at all. So far so good, most things seem to be working! I like the cockatoo wallpaper :) Just had a quick question. What would be the best way to install the wl module for broadcom wireless drivers? With dunfell and kirkstone I guess I got ...

There is something wrong with the devx for 5.5.3. It is only 164K.

Airdale

I upgraded to 5.4.5 from 5.4.3 using the update script. However, I had used the download latest firefox to download firefox and make it default when using 5.4.3. After the update the menu entry for firefox was gone, and chromium was default again. I was going to add it back to the menu, but it seem...

Maybe going from 9.3.7 to 9.3.15 is too big a jump?

Which Firefox do you use? Is it the preinstalled one?

Debian sticks with Firefox ESR so updates should be smooth even if you skip some updates like this.

Yes. I haven't changed it.

Airdale

I upgraded from 9.3.7 to 9.3.15. Seems to be working pretty well, but when I tried to run firefox I get an error message. Error: Platform version '102.9.0' is not compatible with minVersion >= 102.7.0 maxVersion <= 102.7.0 I thought maybe it was a problem with 9.3.15..... so I rebooting using pfix=r...

Updated to 5.2 from 5.1 The update was seamless. The difference file worked well and was only a small download. The appimage installer is a great feature. I like that now it is easy to install ungoogled chromium and update it. In the past I have used Mike Walsh's portable ungoogled chromium on Easy....

Airdale

Kind of strange. Not sure what the problem was. Bootflash gave me an error... saying "This is not a hybrid ISO, refusing to continue....." I though maybe if the iso was not a real hybrid iso with partitions maybe it would work on a DVD. So I pulled out an old USB optical drive and burned a...

Nothing has changed. Are you sure you're flashing the right file?

I think so. It is vanilladpup-10.0.144-xwayland.iso

Airdale

I saw that there was a similar thread to this one earlier (trouble creating a bootable usb with Rufus) and Etcher and Bootflash were both given as acceptable ways to flash a new bootable usb. I have been trying to flash a new bootable usb with the latest 10.x.144 xwayland version. I've tried to flas...

I have noticed some unusual behavior when trying to change themes in 9.3.5 When switching themes in 9.2.x I get the following dialog box, which is what I would expect: themes9.2x.png However, when trying to change themes in 9.3.5, I get at least four windows open at once: themes93x.png Not sure if t...

Airdale

This is probably due to differences in the cryptsetup version between initrd and /sbin. Maybe you should try to put the static cryptsetup from https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/initrd_progs/releases/download/20230105/initrd_progs-static.tar.xz in /sbin - that's the one used to load the save fil...

Airdale

You can create a SFS which contains /sbin/cryptsetup and name it ydrv_vanilladpup_whatever.sfs. It will get auto-loaded. I tried that and it worked well. The yrdv sfs did indeed autoload and now it asks for the password for the save file on boot up now for the first time! However, after entering th...

Airdale

Oh well.... Not so fast :) I got the option to make an encrypted save file after installing cryptsetup. However, when I tried to boot up the system and select that savefile there were errors. I think it is because when I install cryptsetup, it actually gets saved to the savefile, of course. So every...

Airdale

That did it. Now I get the option to encrypt when creating the save file.
Thanks!

Airdale

What kind of save did you make? File or folder? I think the save has to be a save file to be able to encrypt it. When you made the save it should have offered to you option to encrypt or normal. If you choose normal it will just be a normal save file. If select encrypt, it will require the password...

Airdale

This probably has been addressed somewhere else, but I have looked and was unable to find it. Is it possible to encrypt the pupsave file on a frugal install? I realized that on a full install OR a frugal install with a "save folder" that probably wouldn't be possible. But on a frugal insta...

@BarryK :-

Perhaps something like this?

Keeps your idea of a circle, with a more "professional-looking" thumbs-up..... 'Only' a PNG, I'm afraid; never could get the hang of vector graphics.

Mike.

I think its great!

Airdale

I can't imagine that it wouldn't work. But Barry would know best. But you must be using the built in grub for dos installer to configure menu.1st (since you said it showed up as Fatdog). I'd bet anything thats the problem. While that installer used to work fine I think as Easy has evolved it has bee...

For older systems that won't boot PAE kernels - new kernels have the forcepae option and adding
Code: Select all
-- forcepae
to kernel line gets it to boot. (note there's a space after -- )

I have an old Pentium M that I run peebee's 32 bit BionicPup on. I do have to use -- forcepae, but it works very well.

@Airdale not version, but perhaps a snapshot of a saved session? if pfix=bak was in effect you would see it briefly when it boots as it loads the sfs. I keep on getting the new hardware profiling screen about the hardware clock because it doesn't remember anything. I have updated and have the same ...

Airdale

@Airdale could it be rolling back each time rather than failing to keep changes? No.... that's a good idea though. But the version stays 4.2.7 - it doesn't roll back. It just doesn't save. I guess if it had rolled back to a previous version somehow I wouldn't have had the tick box which restored th...

Updated two different laptops using the update script. I used the difference files for the first time. The update process was great! Worked seamlessly. It was really nice not to have to download 800MB+ for each update. As far as the problem with auto saving.... one laptop is fixed one laptop does no...

same here.... I see bootmgr only. Dual booting Easys on a hard drive with Windows 10 and Grub4Dos on a BIOS system.

Been playing around with the Limine bootloader on one of my old Dell laptops. I have a couple of versions of Easy as well as Windows on it... formerly used Grub4Dos. Tried it out just for the fun of it and works real well. On an unrelated matter, I have a strange problem with this version of Easy t...
