@sonny

Thanks for the report.

The free partition space depicted by the bar graphic will be corrected in the next release of BW64.

If lm-sensors is not in Bookworm, is there a pet-sfs-deb-etc that works if installed?

In a terminal:

apt update && apt install lm-sensors

@radky For testing, place the file (theme.txt) in the root of your Grub2 installation: ... The new theme.txt doesn't change much.

Just a message for optics reasons.
I simply change the menu items manually before saving.

@liuzhaoyzz Thanks for your report. If I understand correctly, the isoboot code you describe was deprecated and removed from the upstream puppylinux-Woof-CE init on Oct 30, 2020. Please see the following Woof-CE commit: https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE/commit/99ed9ba13e632bb009cbc5bf13...

fr-ke Based on your lsblk report, the laptop SD reader (when empty) is recognized as a block device of 0 byte size. In this case, it may appear as a phantom (inaccessisble) device in Grub2config.

@JusGellin Currently, the BW64 menu entry for 'Firefox ESR' calls /usr/bin/firefox_esr which is a symlink to /opt/FirefoxESR-portable64/LAUNCH.

Still need to figure out why the Nvidia run package will not compile in this version of BookwormPup64? I am sure this will be needed to be able to install a newer driver than the one in the Debian repositories. bigpup The upstream Debian nvidia 525.147.05 source code is now patched (pfn_valid patch...

radky

Yes I found a line that says the driver is loaded. It is close to the end of dmesg output. It is this: loading NVIDIA UNIX X86_64 kernel module 525.147.05 bigpup Just a few thoughts: When upstream Debian Bookworm 12.5 was initially released with kernel 6.1.76 there were many reports of failed integ...

Thanks for confirming your eMMC device and boot partition are detected and registered correctly.

Test today on a eMMC drive installed all files to fat32 p1, then gave "Failed to register" error. @wizard I assume you have already edited grub2config-test4 as described here: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=114381#p114381 After the edit, it would be helpful to see the log re...

@fr-ke Thanks for the log report.

Please test the following replacement for the part2drive function in grub2config-test3-radky available below:

@JusGellin If I understand correctly, the spice guest-agent daemon (spice-vdagentd) can start via Systemd (not supported by Puppy Linux) or by a Sys-V initscript.
