Rebuilt from scratch. Slackware current updated as of Mar11,2024. New initrd to accommodate overlayfs (boot param: punionfs=overlay). This is experimental. Renamed zSBASE.sfs xdrv.sfs which seems to make more sense. Kernel-modules.sfs inside initrd.xz as before, but with option to remove it and rena...

This is where xerrs.log is called in xwin (line 26): if [ -f /var/local/xwin_disable_xerrs_log_flag ] ; then LOGFILE_X='/dev/null' else LOGFILE_X='/tmp/xerrs.log' fi then line 346: /usr/bin/xinit ${XINITRC} -- -br -nolisten tcp > $LOGFILE_X 2>&1 remove /var/local/xwin_disable_xerrs_log_flag to e...

I think this is not a bug with Rox. If there was a file by the same name (ie, no "file not found" message) the script will stop to ask you if you want to overwrite it. There are a lot of precedents in linux. Warnings are not necessarily meant for us but for the program itself. This one is ...

Don't know if it's peebee's builds or woofCE, but xerrs logging is blocked by default. Makes troubleshooting kinda hard. Boot parameter fsck is not handled by init script unless the device is f2fs sdd card, even though the binaries are present in the initrd (busybox applets). Error is reported in bo...

Does cryptsetup NEED to be copied to /pup_new/initrd? /initrd is not in the path after switchroot so no binaries in there will be influential after rc.sysinit starts unless it asks for them specifically (which it doesn't). My concern is that the cryptsetup in the initrd is statically compiled and i...

Thanks ozsouth . Got the pm and looking forward to testing. A few questions first. I think it's a woofce thing but why is sbin copied to /pup_new/initrd? The init script also tries to place /bin there too but a trailing slash throws an error ("bin is a directory"). I commented those lines ...

Hi @ozsouth. I'm having a problem with the sfs_load.overlay gui. Right click is fine and cli as well, but the gui has no eg. yes/no buttons. Just opens the window with installed files highlighted but no action available. extrasfsfind (Quick-sfs-Load) does the trick I'd have expected from sfs_load.ov...

Hi bigpup. Lighthouse is a modular X11/xorg, no-systemd puppy-like distribution. Except for the package-management, it's closer to a legacy-puppy than a new puppy. What's included on the iso is voyager.sfs which contains epiphany/webkit browser, mpv, full python (3 and 2), mesa and their various sla...

Don't know about the other distros, but in slackware htop must be run as a normal usr. I use

Code: Select all

Exec=run-as-spot urxvt -e htop

.

Thanks @Grey. Works well in lighthouse with Slackbuild mpv-037 which includes the gui features so didn't include/need the uosc script.

edit: Oh, I see! uosc goes way beyond mpv's gui features. May not need it but it's a nice inclusion. Thanks again.

@fredx181
In your /DATA/midori-portable.desktop,

Code: Select all

Categories=X-Internet-browser;Network:WebBrowser

should read

Code: Select all

Categories=X-Internet-browser;Network;WebBrowser;

to show up correctly in menu.

I don't know about overlay-sfs_load but the legacy sfs_load runs fix menus and ldconfig on installation. Slackware's ldconfig will sort out the symlinks. Might also run update-desktop-database. Just like aufs, it sounds like sfs-load-overlay mounts to a lower level in the hierarchy so one wouldn't e...

Hi porteux. Yes, when building the kernel, the kit downloads aufs<version number> directory and aufs-utils. The first has a documentation folder with Readme. The more general information with configuration options is in the aufs-utils Readme. Everything else is in the manpage which should be include...

Attached is geany-schemes-1.38-noarch-1JL64.tgz collected over the years from the old forum. Sorry, no link. This may require geany-plugins (https://plugins.geany.org/) which should be in your repo or available with pet-get/ppm.

Hi @OscarTalks
Just installed the pet in lighthouse which is slackware based and has openvpn built-in. the program started up via menu and seems to function perfectly without restarting X. Nice job but I don't have a paid account so couldn't test it further.

That's a "poor man's immutable distro" or a "DIY immutable distro" with bad user experience :) Curious. Can you explain what you mean by "bad user experience"? Sounds like a trite dismissal to me. There are lots of ways built into puppy (as you are well aware) to run i...

After being able to boot devuanpup with the kernel line parameter previously suggested by mistfire processor.max_cstate=5 in conjunction with nomodeset , I have tried again to boot quickpup. It still won't boot to desktop. Previously it failed on configuring hardware, now I get almost to it booting...

Works in Lighthouse too. Only tried with mate panel so far -no fuss- so it should be ok with others too. Thanks @stemsee.

Unless this system uses systemd (in which case I can't help), pulse audio requires polkit to be up and running and that is what sets up permissions. Also, make sure your user is member of audio group. For systemd problems, the arch linux forum/wiki is most helpfull.

The sources are from packages.ubuntu.com, jwm-2.4.0
should be the same, as installed in original FossaPup.

That problem with the menu button display was fixed in jwm-2.4.2. It's nothing you did but a built-in bug. Try recompiling with newer source and it should be fine.

2023/03/07 added kernel-huge-5.15.80-x86_64-1,txz: last k5.15 version with full aufs support. added kernel-huge-5.15.94-x86_64-1,txz: limit 12 sfs addons at boot time.

@Dry Falls - wow! another trap for the unwary. Is kernel 5.15 (LTS & hence more secure due to updates) no use to you? It's EOL has been extended to Oct 2026 (was originally this year). I've been testing more the last few days. It seems LTS is meaningless for aufs-patched kernels. I built 5.15.2...

Hi @k1e3w5 If you're running from an installed puppy, the file to edit is menu-1st or grub.cfg. If you're running from the cd/dvd (ram or live-session) you can you can usually press 'e' and type in the command blacklist=rtl8xxxu but this is not permanent. Sometimes you can just add that line to /etc...

Your .config and mine (from fatdog DOTconfig) are fairly similar where it comes to aufs. Both builds work well and no problems might be obvious running standard puppies. However, in Lighthouse, up to 40 sfs modules can be loaded via aufs. This kernel version balks and only loads 12 in three differen...

Dry Falls

Not sure if your tp-link dongle requires the same driver (8192eu) as mine, but I need to blacklist rtl8xxxu in the kernel command line:

Code: Select all

linux /vmlinuz blacklist=rtl8xxxu

for grub2 or

Code: Select all

append blacklist=rtl8xxxu

in menu-1st or grub4dos.
Maybe worth a try if there is a conflict.

Fixed and posting from k6.1.13 now. Thanks dimkr but no such file in lighthuse. The problem was a bad link in my build script: https://github.com/sfjro/aufs$ver-standalone changed to https://github.com/sfjro/aufs-standalone thanks to jamesbond ( here ) refering another poster to the sfjro readme. df

So now I need an account at github to build an aufs patched kernel. I've never seen this: Kernel Sources already there! Downloading the Aufs sources Cloning into 'aufs6.1'... Username for 'https://github.com': Password for 'https://github.com': Is there a way for the non-initiated to build a kernel?

Updated Mega. Mostly a bugfix. Delta file for iso in 'Update" (see link on first page). Of course, by "fix" I mean "less broken". You may not notice. Been torture testing the change windomanager routine. Still a bit clunky after repeated use. However this should not be a pro...
